What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertisements** for consumer products (Gillette razors, telephones, collar buttons, Scotch whisky, cocktails) interspersed with two brief editorial pieces. The substantive content addresses: 1. **"Good Legal Sense"** — Commentary on a court decision by Mr. Justice Fitzgerald regarding the Theatrical Trust, discussing whether organizing boycotts constitutes illegal conspiracy. The piece distinguishes between personal preference (legal) and organized interference with a business (potentially illegal). This references real Progressive Era antitrust litigation against theater monopolies. 2. **Chicken farming notes** — Prof. M.E. Jaffa's experiments on improving hen productivity through cleanliness, discussed in mundane agricultural terms. Neither piece contains political satire or caricature. The page represents typical early 20th-century *Life* magazine format: commercial advertising dominant, with brief commentary on legal/scientific matters of contemporary interest to educated readers.

Good Legal Sense. is as much conspiracy,” Mr. Justice Fitzgerald says, “to agree to do lawful acts by unlawful means as it is to agree to do unlawful acts, and, tested by the character of the act contemplated, the ment becomes often of itself the unlawful means.” Of course, the Theatrical Trust has a right to appeal from this decision of Mr. Justice Fitzgerald, | first to the appellate division of the Supreme ‘ourt and from there to the Court of Appeals. It may be, of course, that the trust will win and Mr. Metcalfe will lose on the final de- cision. Meanwhile, it is in plate to note that to most laymen Mr. Justice Fitzgerald's decision is certainly equitable and ought to be good law if it is not. The distinction drawn by the learned justice is one whose applicability to the affairs of ordinary life we all recognize. Almost everybody has some store in which he or she will not trade for personal reasons. Such person also has a right to explain to any ends why patronage is withheld from a given store. But when this goes a litte fi ther and the person, who refuses patronage, the store and, per! i a cient num ber of friends in that purpose, appreciably to interfere in the busi f that store, then almost any of us would say that the lim't of al preference or prejudice had been |. and that a conspiracy had been formed to put the store “out of L .

M. E. JAFFA, of the University of Californis, is conducting at Oakland a series of experiments with the object of in- creasing the laying power of the hen. Prof. Jaffa has already sceured some remarkable laying records. In discussing these records he ‘said the other day: “Cleanliness is a prime factor in successful chicken farming. Keep |the runs clean, dry, cheerful, and your hens |will do their duty by you nobly. In fact, to make hens lay well it is almost necessary to carry neatness to the finicky point—to be as finicky as the old lady with the aquarium. The old lady did not merely keep the aquarium neat—the glass spotless, the stones at the bot- tom snowy—but it was said of her that every Saturday night she took the fish out and gave them a bath.’—Chicago Inter Ocean.
