This page mixes advertisements with editorial content typical of Judge magazine. The main cartoon, by E. W. Kemble, depicts a demagogue demanding control of a railroad operation—a topical reference to early 20th-century labor unrest and populist political agitation against big business. The "demagogue" character represents inflammatory political rhetoric threatening established industry. The secondary humor piece concerns a husband caught coming home late, using a purchased umbrella as implausible "proof" he just arrived—satirizing domestic disputes and male evasiveness. The text discusses a new biographical dictionary "Who Was Who," which humorously catalogs famous historical figures alongside contemporary celebrities and politicians (Bryan, Roosevelt, Holmes, Pankhurst), poking fun at vanity publishing and celebrity culture. The remaining content is primarily product advertising for Vaseline hair tonic, gems, hotels, and champagne—standard Judge magazine fare mixing satire with commercial sponsorship.

You're not running this railroad business to suit me, so you quit and I'll run it to suit myself, see Drawn for Leslie's by E. W. Kemain Positive Proof—Jones was a convivial gentleman who rarely ever reached home before the next-door piano stopped play- ing, and naturally there was often much loud and animated argument on the part of little wifey. One morning he blew in even a little later than usual, and hardly had he reached the top of the stair before mother touched off the domestic orchestra and started to sing. “You are scolding me for being late, my dear,”’ meekly interposed papa, after listening to the music for an hour or so, “and yet I was the first one to leave for home.” “The first to leave!’’ was the scorning rejoinder of wifey. ‘Why don’t you tell the truth and say you stayed to help the janitor lock up the building?’’ I can prove what I say this time all right,’’ insisted hubby, making a dive for the hallrack. ‘‘Just look at this beau- tiful ten-dollar umbrella that I brought home !""—Philadelphia Telegraph. «Who Was Who” RWIN L. GORDON is editor of an amusing volume, called ‘‘Who Was Who, 5000 B. C. to Date,” that has an attractive cover by A. J. Frueh, is illus- trated by C. H. Sykes, and is published by David McKay, 604 South Washington Square, Philadelphi: “*Who Was Who”’ is a biographical dictionary “of the fa- mous and those who wanted to be,’’ and, beginning with Adam, it runs down to the n various per- sons assumed still to be useful to human- ity here and abroad, while the interlard- ing of the names and achievements of persons of antiquity gives a quaint touch of humor to the work. The illustrations include cartoons on Mrs. Pankhurst, Wil- liam Jennings Bryan (who is also included in the necrology), Sherlock Holmes, Theo- dore Roosevelt, William Shakespeare and Woodrow Wilson. ‘‘Who Was Who” may be picked up at any time profitably by one who wants a laugh.
