What you’re looking at
The page contains two distinct sections: **Left side:** A satirical article titled "Funny Man, William Hearst!" criticizing William Randolph Hearst's political positions. The text suggests Hearst advocates for peace and neutrality while Germany wins the war, calling his approach naive. The accompanying sketch shows two classical figures in dialogue. This appears to reference World War I debates about American intervention. **Right side:** A Rinex Sole shoe advertisement from United States Rubber Company, unrelated to the satire. **Bottom left:** An advertisement for The Cascades ballroom in New York. The political content mocks Hearst's pacifist stance as potentially harmful to Allied interests during WWI, positioning him as impractical despite good intentions.

The opportunity of this country to render a signal service to the world and to benefit itself as well as other nations is to unite with other neutral nations everywhere and to withhold all money and all supplies until peace negotiations are begun. he neutral nations of the world can compel peace, and the United States, first in power, first in civil- ized development, first in humani- tarian_ principles, should lead the William Randolph Hearst in York American (Aug. 28) O William keeps it up.

It isnew, It is different. It is absolutely unique. It is tried and proved. Rinex could have been put on the market months ago—but it would not have been Rinex, the Rinex that the United States Rub- ber Company's laboratory experts knew it must be to predominate— to represent fittingly the largest rubber system in the world. So, we waited, We experi- mented. We tested. We saw Rinex prove-up in actual use. We were convinced of its superiority. So we announce Rinex, the Super Sole. Rinex differs radically from rub- berand leather, It makes a better sole than either. Rinex surpasses, we believe, anything heretofore known, in its combination of lightness, toughness, flexibility, wearing qualities and uniformity, Rinex is waterproof. It gives buoyancy to the step and life to both shoe and wearer. It does not draw or burn the feet. Rinex is furnished in black, white and tan for men, women and children, It comes in only one grade—the very best. Wear shoes with Rinex Soles You will have more foot-comfort and save money besides.

Perhaps his way is to take the best policy that is left after the neighbors have made their selection. By that method he is sure of being different, and if one is a newspaper it is quite valuable to be different.
