What you’re looking at

This page contains primarily **advertising** interspersed with editorial content. The main advertisements are for **Corliss-Coon Hand Made Collars** (promoting profit-sharing with consumers) and **John Jameson Whiskey**. The editorial content includes: - **"We Answer a Letter"**: A response to a female reader about women's suffrage, arguing against immediate voting rights for women while acknowledging Jane Addams's reasonable request for municipal (local) suffrage in cities like Chicago - **A humorous anecdote** about Irish soldiers in a theatrical performance who refuse to "retreat" on cue during a staged battle - **A recipe section** for serving grapefruit The page reflects early 20th-century attitudes: skepticism toward women's political participation (despite acknowledging urban reform needs), and light satirical humor about military discipline. No specific political cartoon appears on this page—the humor is contained in the brief anecdotes rather than visual caricature.

To say that there would be materially less evil if all the women voted is quite a dif- ferent thing.

For a few nights all went well, but on the Friday evening a special performance of the picce was to be given under the patronage of the colonel and other officers of the garrison, The two armies met as usual at the end of the second act, ‘A new and beater way.
