What you’re looking at

The top cartoon satirizes the 1908 U.S. presidential election with the caption "Who will be the next President? He won't be happy till he gets it!" depicting a cherub-like figure on a bar of Pears Soap. This mocks presidential ambition as childish greed—the soap brand placement suggests vanity and self-interest drive candidates. The page is primarily **advertising and content filler** rather than political satire. It includes ads for Romeike's press clipping service, paper warehouses, and The Sagamore hotel at Lake George, New York. The substantial right-side content features prize-winning submissions from Judge's picture contest: a poem called "Foolishness" cataloging various fool archetypes (pranksters, drunks, practical jokers), and a short story fragment "To Die at Dawn" about a dramatic rival confrontation involving a canoe—presumably connecting to the original contest picture of a capsizing canoe that readers submitted entries about.

Last week the names of the prize-winners in the various classes were published in JupGe. Following are the prize-winning poem and story in the contest: Foolishness. We know ‘‘What fools we mortals be!’’ How various our idiocy. Except the fool whose simple art \ Brings merry laughter to the heart, There is no fool of ail the band Whom any of the rest can stand. The fool who puts tacks in your chair, The fool who drops glue in your hair, The fool who sends you by express, “Collect,’’ a ton of bricks or iess— Such fools as these are just plain fools; They teach such tricks in grammar schools. The drunken fool, with maudlin gab, At least can be chucked in a cab; The fool who drops ice down your back, The fool who walks the railway track, The fool who jumps from back of trees— Who has not been some one of these? The fool whose talk is bally rot Is not the worst fool of the lot; Nor even him who, “just for fun,”” Pots you with his “unloaded” gun. The fool of fools, who gets my goat, | Is that prime fool who rocks the boat! | — Maurice Baldwin. To Die at Dawn. “‘Bah!"’ cried Our Hero. ‘‘This note is from none other than Van Loan Mc- Tavish, my hated rival!’’ He hissed meaningfully and rushed for his camera and raincoat. ‘Yes, my shy fellow, we will meet at Trout River at dawn, and your handsome face shall play you false!" At that very same moment, twelve long miles uway, two men bent over a leaky canoe and smiled grimly at each other. One wore a red sweater, bought for one dollar and ninety-eight cents! The other, whom we will call Van Ars- dale Van Loon, looked smilingly at his check book. It had a:personal entry for ten thousand dollars—a reward for crime which had not yet been committed. “Can he swim or no?”’ whispered Van Loan. It sounded harshly against the check book. comicbooks.com M be th be th ag dr
