What you’re looking at
This page contains **advertisements and editorial commentary** rather than political cartoons. The **Buffalo Lithia Springs Water ads** dominate the left side, featuring testimonials from prominent Richmond, Virginia physicians claiming the mineral water cures ailments like gout, kidney problems, and "uric acid" conditions—typical turn-of-century medical marketing with dubious health claims. The **center editorial, "Make the Children Dangerous,"** argues that automobile drivers should be held legally responsible for child pedestrian deaths, not the other way around. The author advocates making children appear as dangerous obstacles to motorists through court precedent, forcing drivers to treat every child as a serious traffic hazard requiring caution. This reflects early 20th-century anxiety about automobiles as new urban dangers to vulnerable populations. The right side contains typical period advertisements for nurseries, motion picture plays, and marriage/sexuality guides—common Life magazine content.

It is seldom a good defense for a chauffeur that a child ran in his way. If he could not see the child before- hand, he is excusable. If the child was in sight, it was his lookout to get past it safely. A young child is not responsible. If it is loose in the street nobody can tell which way it will run. The rule for chauffeurs must be to look sharp, slow up, and have their machines under perfect control when approach- ing children. The chauffeur is responsible, Hold him to his responsibility. The automobiles are dangerous to children; that is obvious, Make it at least equally obvious that children are dangerous to automobiles. That can be done by such an attitude of the courts as will make the whole order of chauffeurs sce a red flag on every child, The great thing to accomplish is to impress dec on the minds of chauf- feurs that children are dangerous, and that it does not pay to take chances with them at all. Perhaps Mr. Secretary of New York State May, who recently discussed this matter at the mecting of the Woman's Political Study Club in New York, needs to have this truth im- pressed upon his mind also, He realizes that automobiles are dangerous to children, ‘but he does not seem to realize how dangerous children can be made to automobiles, nor how desirable it is to make them so. “Some of your constituents are nereeing with you,” said the trusted I tenant.
