What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertisements and filler content** rather than political satire or comics requiring historical explanation. The main text article, "A Sure Market for Old Tomes," discusses how Indiana women's clubs abandoned literary pursuits (like Browning) after gaining voting rights, rushing instead to purchase civics and government books. This reflects early 20th-century commentary on women's suffrage—suggesting women's newfound political participation redirected their intellectual interests from cultural to civic matters. The tone appears gently satirical about this shift in priorities. The bulk of the page contains commercial ads for watches, diamonds, desk flags, and patent services—typical Judge magazine revenue sources. These lack satirical content and are straightforward sales pitches to readers. **No specific political figures or detailed cartoons requiring historical context are prominently featured** on this visible portion of the page.

A Sure Market for Old Tomes ‘O longer are the women’s clubs in Indiana browsing patiently over the cryptic sentences of Browning. In fact no longer are they conning anything in the merely cultural line. \ sudden political breeze wafted into the world of Indiana women the right to vote for almost every elected creature in the state, and with equal suddenness Browning grew stale. The club palate slackened, on him History repeated itself in Indiana, and a rush began at the book stores for books on civil government. This rush has been a fixed phenomenon in all commonwealths directly after women have been passed even a small piece of the political pic Being a curious sex, they immediately want to know how the political pie is made anyhow, and whether the recipe could not be improved on. And to this end Browning and his like chan places in the club library with Adam Smith and his ilk. One wonders why the book-men, whose business interests must be furthered by this sudden sale of usually-unsalable tomes, don’t organize in their advertising department a branch of woman suffrage boosters, Where the Dice Are Loaded Against Suffrage HE state of Minnesota is one of those too numerous commonwealths — in which they have compulsory voting. That is, in order for a voter to be neutral on any question submitted at an election he must stay sedulously away from the polls. If he ventures into a polling booth to express his burning conviction on any subject he will be counted as voting “no” on questions about which he has no convictions at all Many are the men who have neither opinions nor interest in the question of whether women vote or don’t vote. They won't vote for suffrage and won't vote against it. This policy can be carried out by them in many states, but not in Minne- sota, There elections are run on the biblical principle: He who is not for me is against me. So it was that when the other day the suffrage referendum bill was defeated in the Minnesota Legislature, the suffrage world heaved one long grand sigh of relief. Why bother to play where the dice are loaded against us, it asked, when presidential suffrage is being given for the asking and municipal suffrage fairly thrust upon us without noti FILM FUN for JUNE kkk x* tax ak | The Smile Behind the Man Behind the Gun HE ing of a movie is almost as full of romance and There's many & that never 7 in the columns of i chatty stories and the striking to be released, youl ne full of laughter and fun all its ova.
