This page is primarily **advertising**, not editorial content or cartoons. The top two-thirds features travel advertisements for Ward Line steamships (Nassau and Havana cruises) and the Keeley Institute (drug and alcohol treatment). The right column contains **"Curbside Comments"** by Oreola W. Haskell—brief satirical political commentary on contemporary issues: 1. **Women's suffrage debate**: Haskell mocks New York Republicans for refusing to explicitly endorse women's voting rights, instead merely supporting a referendum. She satirizes how both suffragists and anti-suffragists can claim victory from this equivocal stance. 2. **Anti-suffrage activist**: She ridicules John B. Maling, a Denver civic leader organizing opposition to women's suffrage, suggesting his efforts are futile and outdated. The humor targets political cowardice on suffrage (a major 1910s issue) and the apparent absurdity of organized anti-suffrage movements.

If they had a choice, they would much prefer to vote for commissioners, whose work comesa grey deal nearer home to them; but the “‘bosses’’ would rather trust them to voy for President, as there is no local graft in that office. 7 The corporation counsel of the District of Columbia has ruled that the new eigtt. hour law for women applies to those why do mechanical work in a newspaper ofc, but not to those who do brain work. He probably considers that those big, forty. page papers have been a greater strain on hands than brains, and it sure does seem like that when you try to read then, As man has only fourteen pockets in his clothes, the tailors are now putting in another, a secret one, where he cay hide his money from his wife. As itis only the size of a watch pocket, she won't grudge him the contents; besides, she will know where it is located almost as soon as he does himself. Curbside Comments By OREOLA W. HASKELL Placating the Fair THE Republican party of the State of New York has put itself on record as refusing to come out boldly for woman suffrage, as the suffragists have repeat. edly asked it to do, but as willing tore affirm the 1912 conviction that the ques tion should be submitted to a populer vote, the Legislature of 1915 being urged to submit the matter to a referendum for the second time, and if that is not done, the next year’s constitutional conventioa is asked to order a referendum on suffrage as a separate proposition. Thus have the astute politicians acted in such a way that the antis may dub their resolution ade feat for the suffragists, since they were denied unqualified support; and the suf- fragists may laud a victory, since they were certainly recognized as being worthy of mention. Thus the dear gentlemes may feel that all the girls are happy end will be kept merry and mute. A Back-Namber Knight THE ANTIS have produced a knight who is to break his lance in the tour naments of the suffragists. He is knows to fame as John B, Maling, a Denver citi zen and a promoter of civic movements in the Colorado capital. Having failed organize a band of women crusaders to invade New York and battle against suf- frage, John will go it alone, and his long suit will be the wildcat legislation of the Colorado Legislature, for which women voters are entirely to blame. This noble knight may be actuated by the strongest convictions and the holiest of feelings, but the fact that he is to receive ot thousand shekels a month for his services will cause some ignoble souls to see the shadow of the dollar sign falling acros his shining enterprise.
