What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising**, not political satire. The main content is a full-page advertisement for the **Evinrude Motor Company**, promoting their motorized rowboat attachment. The ad uses the slang phrase "Evinrude" as a verb (meaning to motor around), emphasizing the product's ease of use—it starts with a simple swing and requires no hand-cranking, a significant advantage over early motors. The right column contains unrelated filler content: a romantic poem about a man's mustache (mocking affected courtship), humor columns ("What Every Policeman is Looking For"), and advertisements for other products (a Red Cedar Chest, water-proof hat, art school, and Baltimore Rye whiskey). There is **no political cartoon** on this page—Judge magazine often mixed satirical content with straightforward advertising and light humor pieces. The overall tone reflects early 1910s consumer culture and genteel humor conventions.

The Love Lyrics of Phyllis By JOHN KENDRICK BANGS To Strephon’s Mustache Uron my Strephon's upper lip there grows A wondrous pair of pink mustachios; A hedge to guard his sturdy labial From such dire accidents as lips befall A bit of verdure deep to gird his smile, And hide, perhaps, its all too patent guile When he doth utter words he does not mean, Or what he doth not think pours on the scene, Sometimes, when curling upward, they suggest The noble Lord of Potsdam at his best, They give the heart the same majesti; thrill One gets when gazing on great Kaiser iN; And then again, when Strephon lets then droop, Like crimson ramblers from some rustic stoop, One feels again the inspiration vast That heartened Pirate Kidd unto the last But as for me, I wish he'd take them of, Though maids are few who at mustaches scoff, I love them not, however great and grand, And why 'tis so I’m sure you'll under. stand, When I confess that when we go to balls And Strephon bids me dance in festal halls, I can’t be graceful on my tripping toes, Because they tickle my retrousse nose!
