What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge*, a satirical weekly, is primarily **advertising and promotional content** rather than political cartoons, though it includes period commentary on women's suffrage. ## Key Content: **Main Advertisement**: *Vanity Fair* magazine dominates the page, promoting itself as essential reading for staying socially current. The pitch warns readers against becoming "old fogey" or "old maid" if they don't read it—a social anxiety sales tactic typical of the era. **Suffrage Commentary**: The right column discusses women's suffrage campaigns, noting how suffragists were dismissed by men (called "old hen," mocked for standing on soapboxes). The text argues that women's fitness to vote should be measured by their competence in life—including motherhood and household management—though it questions whether these domestic roles qualify them for political participation. **Cartoons**: Small illustrations include a man in bed being awakened and figures promoting *Vanity Fair*'s content (stage, sports, fashion). The page reflects early 20th-century gender politics and advertising aimed at affluent, urban readers concerned with social status and modernity.

School is one who uses heavy, bla sheets under her note paper so she will get her writing absolutely straight. the State Supreme Court as an instance of “religious discrimination.” The man who wrote The Survey that he objected to woman suffrage as a step toward anarchy is invited to consult the dictionary. If Oregon is an illustration, the danger from woman suffrage lies quite on the other side, and laws are so scrupulously worded and interpreted that one is reminded of the man who walked so straight that he bent backward. Some Sex Distinctions Noted During the Suffrage Campaigns HEN a suffrage worker of any prom- inence gets an abusive unsigned postal on which, with other uncomplimentary comments, she is referred to as “an old hen,” she knows the writer is a man. Women never think of other women as hens, no mat- ter how deep their disapproval. The low- browed man still thinks of life in the terms of the poultry yard. When a man is almost, but not quite, speechless with disgust at the sight of a woman standing on a soap box asking for the vote, he sneers, “‘Humph, I would like to see her husband!” But a woman in the ¢ of mind ejaculates as she hurries “I bet her children are running about the streets with holes in their stockings.” Men regard the appearance of the husband to be the acid test of a woman’s right to be doing what she happens to be doing. With women it is the whereabouts of her children. Women think of women first as mothers; men think of them first as cooks for men. Thus at the base of society, speaking, women lead men, for human progress depends on protected childhood, not on pampered male stomachs. And isn’t this just another argument for votes for women?
