This page is primarily **advertising** for Hotel La Salle in Chicago, with a small cartoon at the bottom. The cartoon labeled "Repartee to a Suffragette" depicts a woman (identified by her actions as a suffragette—a women's voting rights activist) appearing to hit or confront a man. The man responds with what appears to be a dismissive or mocking retort, suggesting the cartoon satirizes the emerging women's suffrage movement by portraying suffragettes as aggressive or unreasonable. The joke relies on early-20th-century anti-suffrage sentiment—mocking women advocating for voting rights by depicting them as unladylike or confrontational. This reflects the period's social resistance to women's political participation, presented here as humorous "repartee."

I would especially call your attention to the inclosed, taken from my copy of the last Lire. We all know no man has stood in limelight and accomplished as much as Roosevelt has without making mistakes, but as his ef- fort was for “a square deal for every man,” I claim he is receiving very un- just criticism through your publication You also must know that the larger part of the animals he is shooting are to be sent to the Smithsonian Institute, to be mounted for the education of the general public. Yours truly, Tuos. S. Lockwoop. Too Much Tariff Deak Lire. I have noticed in your paper at dif- ferent times editorials regarding the seeming incapacity of the present ad- ministration to, among other things, re- vise the tariff downward. Please keep it up. What is the use of a tariff, any- way? They say it keeps American wages as high as they are. It does, and it enables the manufacturers to keep the cost of living up, out of all proportion to the highness of the wage. I would rather pay my share of the Government expenses by direct taxation than by a method which enables the big men to fleece the common men as the tariff does. I am glad every time I read an article regarding tariff revision, but why not abolish the tariff entirely, and in- cidéntally rid ourselves of ‘the custom house barbarities and possibly a little graft?
