This page is primarily **advertising** with some editorial content supporting women's suffrage. The main editorial piece, attributed to Miss Anna G. Rockwell, argues for women's voting rights using ten numbered points. It references **English suffragettes** (the militant women's rights movement) and compares their struggle to American historical protests like the Boston Tea Party, positioning voting as a serious civic matter rather than frivolous. The piece contends the ballot will improve women's lives and society broadly. The accompanying poem "Doctor April" is seasonal verse unrelated to the suffrage debate. The page contains multiple advertisements typical of the era: Old I.W. Harper Whiskey, Pears' Soap, cruise ship bookings (Victoria Luise), job placement services, and a truss advertisement. These ads reflect early-1910s consumer culture and available services for middle/upper-class readers. The suffrage argument represents progressive thinking of the pre-19th Amendment era (1920), when women's voting rights remained contested and contentious in American politics.

education, immigration, and criminality show that the intelligent, native-born yote would receive the greatest in- crease. 9, Because the actions of the English saffragettes, whether we approve them or not, show that suffrage is no fad, no afternoon-tea affair, but.a vital concern of women who are of the same blood and spirit as the men who rioted for the re- form bill or who threw tea into the Boston harbor or who made the British Parliament a bear garden until Ireland's grievances were dealt with. 10, Because the ballot is not a cure-all or any quack remedy, but a sane, well- tried method of registering the will of the people. It will increase the respect for women, give them wider interests, secure better training for young citi- zens, promote humanitarian: legislation, and mitigate the partisanship and inter- mittency which are the outgrowth of the male's fighting instinct. The weight of respectable testimony shows that it | has done so wherever equal franchise has been tried. ® Miss Anna G. RocKWELL. Doctor April. HE VIOLETS are yet too weak To lift their pretty heads; The snowdrops and the crocuses Still keep their little beds. The butterfly within its shell Delays to come alive, And all the chilly honeybees Are huddled in the hive. The trees, from winter wind and storm, Have many a broken limb; The hedges and the sickly lawns Are sadly out of trim. But bringing magic medicine Of healing sun and rain, Lo! Doctor April comes at last, To make them well again. — Minna Irving. Through the Smoke Rings. Man came first—and woman has never outgrown being late.
