What you’re looking at

This 1910s-era page is mostly **advertisements and humorous anecdotal stories**, not political satire. The main content is "Stories with Smiles"—three brief jokes: one from poet Edgar A. Guest about a working man wishing for inside tips like Washington insiders get; one about a boy confused about drawing Plymouth Rock; and one satirizing vote fraud and corruption (a man "charged" with voting eight times protests he wasn't even *paid* for it). The left cartoon **"Eventually—Why Not Now?"** by Harry Morse Meyers appears to show Uncle Sam in an exaggerated pose; the text mentions it's a full-color print available for 25 cents, suggesting it's patriotic imagery likely promoting something American, though the specific message isn't clear from context. The remaining space contains typical magazine advertisements: Hotel Vendig in Philadelphia, Judge's art print department, a newspaper clipping service, and an ad for Eugene Zimmerman's cartooning instruction book. The page is principally a **commercial vehicle** rather than sustained political commentary.

T’ve always had to dig for mine and draw it week by week, But then, of course, I’ve never known a Govern- mental leak. I'd like to be a friend of him who writes the notes and things And knows just what is going on with all of Europe’s Kings. I'd like to be the little guy of whom he thinks enough To call him on the telephone and give the inside stuff. I'd like to play the market, too, with rich men fat and sleek, And gather in the millions from a Governmental leak. i I've never played a sure thing yet, I've never backed a cinch, For every dollar that I save I have to scrape and pinch; T'd like to know the easy way, I'd like to find the rope, That leads unto the kindly man who spills the inside dope. O, Mister Wise, whoe’er you are, at Washington, D.C. The next time something good is ripe, please tip it off to me. —Edgar A. Guest, in Detroit Free Press. Perhaps a Setting Hen—The teacher had recited “The Landing of the Pilgrims.” Then she requested each pupil to draw from agination a picture of Plymouth Rock. Most of them went to work at once, but one little fellow hesitated, and at last raised his hand. “Well, Willie, what is it?” asked the teacher. “Please, ma’am, do you want us to draw a hen or a rooster?”"—The Christian Herald. The Repeater—Representative Camp- bell, of Kansas, said in a recent address i enworth: The corrupt man is always a stupid, ignorant man. A corrupt voter was arrested once in ‘Wat am I arrested fur’? he asked. ‘ou are charged,’ said the officer, ‘with ing voted eight times.’ Charged, hey,’ muttered the prisoner. ‘hat’s queer. I expected to be paid for it.’ "—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Giving the Bridegroom a Chance The Midland, Texas, Reporter, in reporting the marriage of a prominent journalist in that section, thus describes the trousseaux of the happy coup “The bride was dressed in a conventional wedding gown of white.
