What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, not political satire. The dominant content features cruise ship advertisements (Hamburg-American Line's Victoria Luise and other vessels) promoting Easter cruises to the Panama Canal and Caribbean destinations—luxury travel offerings from 1912-1913. The text article discusses **women's suffrage in Wyoming**, explaining how political parties court female voters with transportation to polls and how married couples might disagree on politics despite disagreeing on religion. It's a factual, somewhat bemused observation rather than satirical commentary. The cigarette and dog-care advertisements at bottom are standard period marketing. **No political cartoons appear on this page.** The content reflects early 20th-century attitudes toward newly enfranchised women voters—treating suffrage as novel and noting practical voting logistics—but this is straightforward journalism, not satire or caricature.

The man who on Wednesd would tell her to go and soak her head, perhaps would stand barcheaded to let her pass on Tuesday.

Weeks and months before election in Wyoming, the party with the longest purse subsidizes the most livery stables and carriages. Then, on the eventful day, every conveyance available is deco- rated with a political placard and driven by a polite young man who is instructed to improve the time. Thus every woman in Wyoming has a chance to ride once a year at | Lately, however, prefer to walk to the polls and the in pairs, trios and quartettes, voting their little sentiments and calmly re- turning to their cookies and crazy quilts as though politics didn’t jar their men- tal poise a minute. It is possible, and even probable, tha: a man and his wife may disagree on politics as they might on religion, The husband may believe in Andrew Jackson and a relentless hell, while his wife may be a stalwart and rather liberal on the question of eternal punishment. If the husband manages his wife as he would a clothes-wringer, and turns her through life by a crank, he will, no doubt, work her politically; but if she has her own ideas about things, she will naturally act upon them, while the man who is hen- pecked in other matters till he can’t see out of his cyes, will be henpecked, no doubt, in the matter of national and local polities. These are a few facts about the ac- tual workings of female suffrage, and I do not tackle the great question of the ultimate results upon the political ma- chinery if woman suffrage were to be- come general.

Main Street a2 Richmond, Va. PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD About Courteous Treatment When a passenger goes to a railroad train and is met by an attentive porter who takes his bag, and courteous conductor who assigns him to. his seat or berth in a welcoming tone, his trip has begun pleas- antly. Later on, when the con- ducter comes along and takes up his ticket as if it were a pleasure instead of a duty, he begins to feel that he is in the hands of friends who have his wel- fare and comfort at heart. And when he meets a pleasant greeting and has a good meal promptly and deftly served in the dining car, and afterward finds some companionable people in the club car, he realizes that there is genuine enjoy- ment in the modern means of travel. It is the constant aim of the Pennsylvania Rail- road management to sct and maintain this standard on its trains. Its employes are instructed and trained in the school of civility, courtesy and good manners. As far as they are con- cerned, every passenger is on a pleasure trip, and it is a part of their duty to lend all the aid they can to make it so. A passenger chooses his train very much as he does his hotel, and his patronage is an asset which increases with the manner in which it is cultivated. The management knows _ this and its golden rule is “Strive to please.” There is a good deal of heart in a corporation after all. comicbooks.com
