What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements and humor columns** with one notable cartoon element. The central attraction is a **cartoon by James Montgomery Flagg** titled "Passed by the Board of Censorship." It depicts a scantily-clad woman in a suggestive pose—the satire being that such an obviously risqué image supposedly received official approval from censors. This mocks the Board of Censorship's credibility and judgment, suggesting their standards are either nonexistent or hypocritical. The image sold out immediately after publication, and Judge is now offering a reproduction for 25 cents. The page also features **Kin Hubbard's folksy humor column** with rural witticisms about human nature, and **Peter Pry Shevlin's "Flippant Philosophy"**—pithy, cynical observations about consistency, marriage, and virtue. The remaining content consists of period advertisements: Great Western Champagne (emphasizing American quality over foreign imports), the Hotel Aberdeen, and various services typical of early 1910s publications. The Flagg cartoon's "censorship" angle reflects contemporary debates about artistic freedom and propriety standards.

Flippant Philosophy By PETER PRY SHEVLIN [NCONSISTENCY, thy name is juries. Demagogue rule is better than that of the demijohn. Man wants but little here below, and gets that in the neck. Women police, perhaps; but how about ** plain-clothes women’'? Man's virtue rests on temper- ament; womans solidly on soul. All is fair in love and war; that is, before and after marriage. Philosophy enables a man to endure anything—even his own philosophy. Joy is love seen; happinses, ‘love known; content, love realized. Peter Pry Shevlin Pellets of Pessimism Dignity is laziness in a white waist- coat. The man who never uses liquor or to- bacco is generally so superior about it that the effect of his good example is lost on his hearers, —Tom P. Morgan.
