This page combines advertisements with political commentary from circa 1916. **Main Article: "A Bad Adviser for Irishmen"** Criticizes Judge Daniel Cohalan of New York's Supreme Court for publicly praising the Irish Easter Rebellion (Dublin revolt, April 1916) and condemning British executions of rebel leaders. Life argues that while the executions were regrettable, encouraging the "ill-starred outbreak" from America was worse—making Cohalan a poor adviser to Irish-Americans. The piece suggests his judicial position lends dangerous credibility to his inflammatory statements about Ireland and Britain during wartime. **"The New Ruler" Poem** A brief satirical poem by Walter G. Doty updating the saying "the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." It argues modern mothers no longer rock cradles (replaced by sanitary metal cribs), and that automobiles—not maternal influence—now "rule creation." **Advertisements** The page is dominated by Budweiser beer and Club Cocktails ads, typical of the era's alcohol marketing before Prohibition (1920).

Louis. The New Ruler “CHE hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world” Was true, no doubt, when balies still in cradle depths were curled; Excepting merely—in aside—with strict regard for fact, That it was mostly Mother's foot that did the rocking act. But, anyway, that’s out of date. The babies of to-day In sanitary, metal cribs are safely tucked away; And, as to ruling, one may say without exaggeration, The hand that runs the auto pretty nearly rules creation! Walter G. Doty. A Bad Adviser for Inshmen UDGE DANIEL COHALAN is rated as an able man, and as a jus- tice of the Supreme Court of New York occupies a place which gives a certain emphasis to what he says on public matters. It is expected of a judge that he shall show a sense of re- sponsibility in public utterances, even when he does not speak from the bench, But Judge Cohalan’s talk about Ireland and the Dublin revolt seems very irresponsible and considerably mischievous. On April 3oth, at Pitts- field, he was quoted as glorying in the Irish revolt as “the greatest and most effective blow that had been struck at British power.” Four days later the papers were quoting his declaration that England had “committed at once an atrocious crime and a colossal blun- der” in executing some of the Irish rebel leaders. Neither the judge’s foresight nor his hindsight, as thus exhibited, inspires respect. He seems a bad adviser for Irishmen. The execution of so many of the Irish rebels has been very gen- erally deplored in this country, but it was not a crime. At worst it was a mistake. It was much more like a crime to have given encouragement from this side the water to that ill- starred outbreak. Nosopy loves a Hyphen! Would you wine?
