This page is primarily **advertising with one substantive editorial piece** on women's suffrage. The main text argues that women's participation in politics need not threaten the "Home." It uses a clever rhetorical turnabout: if conservatives claim homemaking is merely a "habit and state of mind," then women can carry those values *mentally* into the political sphere—just as men carry business interests to the polls. The piece sardonically notes that when baseball season opened in Washington, fewer than 30 Representatives attended, proving men abandon duty for sports. By contrast, it predicts women in Congress would prioritize legislative duties over baseball games, suggesting they'd be *more* responsible politicians than men. The satire targets male arguments against suffrage by accepting their premises and demonstrating the logical conclusions undermine their position. The page otherwise contains period advertisements for whisky, hotels, shoes, cleaning fluid, and other consumer goods—typical Judge content mixing editorial commentary with commercial messaging.

The Puritan is an especially comfortable house with reasonable rates. Globe trotters call it one of the most comfortable and homelike hotels in the world. ‘Your inquiries gladly answered. E. P. Costello, Mere not been able to see over it or around it and few have been able to see throug! Everything that simplifies the “Home” simplifies the problem. The suffrage cause has ever been most indebted to its enemies. It is so now. With gratitude suffragists hail the cogent arguments with which this most conservative writer demolishes all fear for the “* Home” duc to the exodus of women to the market place as “too foolish for dis- cussion.” If the “Home,” then, lies in the spirit of woman to such an extent that she can carry it in a suitcase, the way is that much clearer for the public to realize that the woman in politics will be able to carry the “Home” and its interests IN HER MIND to the polls. And this is just the thing that business-beset men have never been able to do. If homemaking is a habit and a state of mind, there is everything to win and nothing to lose, by its possessors taking it into politics. An Admitted Sex Distinction OX THE day that the bascball season opened in Washington the press re- ported less than thirty members present in the House of Representatives. “ Politics are exciting and engrossing,” said one of the most fluent officials of the men’s league for a purcly manhood suffrage, “and when once women are drawn into the vor- tex they are more excited and engrpssed than men It is a pleasure to agree with an oppo- nent. If women were drawn into the political vortex as members of Congress they could be depended on to be more excited and en- grossed over their legislative duties than over the opening of the baseball season, even with Walter Johnson in the box. There is much discussion as to what, after all, are the real sex distinctions, but baseball fans are not to any marked degree recruited from the ranks of women.
