This page is **primarily advertisements** with one notable editorial content piece. **Main Editorial Content:** The article "A More or Less Radical Disagreement" discusses a debate between the American School Peace Society (which aims to make war seem ridiculous to children) and the Army and Navy Journal (which calls this "silly and pernicious propaganda"). Life's editorial stance argues both sides may not be as far apart as they appear—one can oppose war without hating soldiers. The piece concludes with a humorous anecdote about an illiterate Black Baptist man defending his faith by claiming ignorance of competing denominations, using dialect humor typical of the era. **Advertisements:** The page features various period products: Waterman fountain pens, the "Mandel-ette" camera, sexology books, Herbert Tareyton cigarettes, Waterman outboard motors, and Hartshorn shade rollers. These ads reflect early-1900s consumer goods and social attitudes, including frank discussion of sexual education. The content reflects early 20th-century American debates about pacifism, militarism, and consumer culture.

Can it be that these two opponents are quite as far apart as it appears? Perhaps not. Let’s get at it another way. Suppose a society were formed to make peace ridiculous to children. Would our military friend look upon that propaganda as wise and benefi- cent? We think not. What seems most to worry the Journal is the notion that war cannot be attacked without attacking those who do the fighting, the military heroes of the past, pres- ent and future. But that doesn’t fol- low. We don’t hate a man because he has a superstitious obsession; we hate the superstitious obsession because it has the man.

This was the way he “put ‘em down”: “Yo! kin read, now, kaint yo'? Bible, s‘pose yo’ read de “Yo’ read ‘bout John de Baptis’, haint yo"? “Yes.” “Well, yo’ never read "bout John de Mefodis’, did yo’?
