What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and masthead information** rather than a political cartoon. The substantive content is "A Sorry Trick" by Orcula W. Haskell—a **satirical article about women's suffrage**. It mocks a Chamber of Commerce that arrogantly refused to let suffragists speak, claiming women shouldn't "meddle" in their affairs. The joke: when these same businessmen later needed expert advice on establishing a city market, the U.S. Department of Agriculture sent a competent female inspector, Acusah Lippincott. The men are now humiliated, learning that women are capable professionals—not mere impediments to business. The page also contains **anti-suffrage arguments** being mocked: that voting would compromise women's "charm," that women prefer staying home, and that suffrage threatens family unity. The ads (Black & White Scotch Whisky, Hotel Aspinwall) are period standard advertising. **Context**: This reflects 1915 suffrage debates, just five years before the 19th Amendment's passage.

Same with those on the outside. t. A Sorry Trick f By OREOLA W. HASKELL HE MEMBERS of the Chamber of Commerce of an up-State city are rather dazed over a trick that fate has played upon them. Having haughtily refused to give permission to the suffragists of their city to send a speaker to address them, on the grounds that they ‘‘didn’t want women meddling in their affairs,’’ they felt that they had struck femi- nine officiousness an effective blow. Some time later the question arose as to the feasibility of establishing a retail city market. Feeling themselves incompetent to pass upon this, they sent to the Department of Agriculture to have an investigator forwarded who would give an expert’s opinion on conditions that existed. Ina short time a young woman, who, despite her prettiness, had an efficient air, presented her- self and also a card which read ‘‘Acusah Lippincott, Office of Markets and Rural Organizations, U. S. Department of Agriculture."’ This was the inspector sent to make the desired report. Now the autocrats of the Chamber of Commerce are grinning rather sheepishly and are ad- vising everybody to no longer take masculinity for granted, but even in dealing with Uncle Sam to beware of the omnipresent petticoat.
