What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and poetry**, not political satire. The left side features a Union Pacific Railroad advertisement using romantic imagery of a young woman to promote travel to the Pacific Northwest. The copy emphasizes opportunity and natural beauty as incentives. The center contains a poem titled "Sempre" about youth, followed by "Do You Want a Change?" which discusses civil unrest and martial law in West Virginia—likely referencing labor disputes or constitutional concerns of the era. The right side advertises **Phoenix Silk Hose** (hosiery) and **Hunter Whiskey**. The page contains no political cartoons or caricatures. Its primary function is commercial advertising interspersed with literary and topical content typical of Life magazine's format during this period.

Sempre OUTH alls to youth, the wide world over Like wind to lea, like bee to clover. None but the cynic dares to spurn Red blood that cries red blood in turn The dark eyes dazzle, soft lips burn, Pale dreams arise, swift heartbeats yearn Up—up some ecstasy to learn The spirit dares not speak. Afar Youth lures its fellow—like a star And who will dare to say it nay? While souls are sad, while souls are gay Youth is the color of the play, So dear because it flies away, So dear it flies ere life is gray. Thus over hill and over vale Youth calls its fellow to its trail. Youth calls to youth, the wide world over Like wind to lea, like bee to clover. Leolyn Louise Everett Do You Want a Change? vn = you tired of civil juris- prudence? Are you annoyed at having things done in an orderly and methodical manner? Are you aweary of constitutions, of statutes, of jus- tice, of courts, of judges, of juries, of legal safeguards, of civilization; in short, of all the law and order regula- tions which we have been at such great pains to build up during these many years? If you are, pack your trunk and journey to West Virginia. West Vir- ginia has been using martial law now for some time with conspicuous suc- cess. This opportunity should not be overlooked. Martial law is a scarce article these days, just about as scarce as the condition of savagery to which it belongs, but, of course, West Vir- ginia is a majestic commonwealth Who shall say that she doesn’t know exactly what she is doing? | SILK HOSE |e gives such E exceptional ¢ service that e it is real B economy _ to wear Women’s, 75c., $1, $1.50, $2 Pair At All Good Dealers “Made in America” by PHOENIX KNITTING WORKS 234 Broadway, Milwai = ria annaieaed Tradition and Life Be no imitator; freshly act thy part; Through this world be thou an inde- pendent ranger; Better is the faith that springeth from thy heart, Than a better faith belonging to a stranger. —From “ Poetry of the Orient,” by W.
