What you’re looking at

This page contains **no political cartoons**—it's primarily **advertisements and a reader's letter**. The letter ("From Our Readers") defends the Mormon church against Life's recent critical article on "Mormon Missionaries." The writer protests Life's investigation as sensationalism, challenging whether the magazine has evidence of wrongdoing and accusing it of operating like a "cheap scandal-monger." The letter then addresses an implicit accusation that Mormons constitute a "political church," arguing that church members' political choices shouldn't disqualify them from civic participation—a defender's response to anti-Mormon sentiment common in early 20th-century America. The remainder of the page features **commercial advertisements**: Hunter Baltimore Rye whiskey (celebrating 50 years of supremacy), United States Tire Company's new "Co-operative Service Bureau" promoting tire maintenance information, and Legrand-Paris perfume.
