Judge — October 22, 1927 — page 35: what you’re looking at

Machine-transcribed from the original scan — historical spelling and the odd misread are preserved.

With hundreds of presses grinding out reams of propaganda, advice, bigotry, and puerile articles, it is refreshing to discover a magazine that has no policy other than an attempt to be, without | affectation, honestly amusing. The court jester has always been at the mercy of the court. JupGE, however, has no literary axe to grind, no political candidate to sound off for, no reforms with which to raise the Republic to a pure and holy Utopia. It merely has the precedent of a fine spirit of exuberance, an attitude of ridicule for humbuggery that have at dif- ferent times been expressed in our nation by a Twain, an Artemus Ward, a George Jean Nathan. We are proud of the fact that we have practically doubled our circulation in five years, that we have the most widely read humorous magazine in the world. With the coming year we shall merely con- tinue this policy, encouraging new articles, again seeking out the vulnerable points of the high and mighty and. hypocritical. As a matter of convenience and economy, we suggest you clip the coupon and mail it to us with five dollars for the next 52 issues of JUDGE.
