This page features editorial commentary and a prominent advertisement rather than political cartoons. The main image is an advertisement for "Overman's Companion," showing a man in a bowler hat smoking a pipe, dated October 1960—a futuristic reference meant as satire or speculation about future magazine covers. The editorials discuss gender roles in journalism and women's suffrage ("His Honor also enjoys the acquaintance of thousands of the fair who do not care to vote"). Other sections address young men's self-improvement, Lord Strathcona's anti-tobacco stance, and opportunity. The "Four Kings oppose Turkey" brief suggests ongoing Balkan conflicts from 1912, likely referencing the First Balkan War.

OST publications nowadays strive to interest women, for whom many magazines are made specially to appeal. Even the daily newspapers have their pages with matter addressed to women on almost all of the thousand and one topics that interest the sex. JupGE caters to the most advanced idea of wo- man in her struggle for the ballot, and His Honor also enjoys the acquaintance of thousands of the fair who do not care to vote. What will be the tenden- cies of journalism a genera- tion or two hence, when woman has reached all of her goals and has put man— or most men—in the passive or negative class? As woman advances and achieves, man, or some men, brushed aside in the race, may become effeminate. One of Jupce’s artists on this page limns his notion of a magazine cover of the fu- ture, when this happy state shall have come to pass. Man, in the good days com- ing, may enjoy many of the advantages which some ‘women to-day do not carea great deal for. He may be the receptive creature in love making, the repository of chocolate creams and other confections—perhaps more enticing sweets than we know of to-day—and readers of many a magazine may rave over his sweet manners and his compelling beauty, as the habits, fashion and cosmetics of that day shall grace and adorn him.

Young men who have reached the point in life where they are taking themselves and things seriously, and who, therefore, feel it incumbent upon themselves to do a certain amount of uplifting, are hereby encouraged. At the same time, they are requested not to tell us that the world is out of joint. We know it already. We have known it for along time. Of course it is out of joint. How could such a multifari- ously articulated globe of ill-assorted animation and inanimation be otherwise? Let them go ahead—these adolescents— let them go ahead and mend, tinker, set, oil, polish or otherwise adjust any little irregularities that come un- der their notice; but let them not hope to keep the whole machine in perfect working order for any great length of time at a stretch. As to Smoking. Lord Strathcona, Canada’s “grand old man,” aged ninety-two, declares against tobacco, which he has not used since his youth. He is a ripe example of the benefit of abstinence from the weed, yet what are the physiolo- gists and statisticians to do with the occasional old man of acentury or more whose most inveterate habit is a pipe?
