What you’re looking at

This page consists primarily of **advertisements and reader letters**, not political satire. The main content includes: **Advertisements:** Welch's Grape Juice (large, left side), Murine eye drops, and a 7-day Great Lakes cruise promoting Galveston and Great Lakes tourism. **Reader Letters:** Three letters to the editor discuss the magazine itself: 1. Praising the *new* Life magazine as superior to the old version 2. Complaining that Life's religious humor is divisive and attacks readers who take faith seriously (calling such readers "bolshevistic scoundrels") 3. Promoting Galveston's attractions (cotton port, sugar warehouses, new hotels, bathing beauty pageant) The "satire" appears limited to the magazine's editorial content itself—implied to include religious jokes that some readers found offensive. The letters reveal contemporary tensions between those comfortable with irreverent humor and those viewing it as disrespectful to religious values.

Sir: You want to know what I think about the new Lire. The old Lire was good, but this is far better. It’s first-class. Almost too good to be able to keep up. You'll need a strong staff to do it. “What this country needs is a Bunkless Party” is right on the spot. The present epidemic of feeble-minded- ness is more likely to succumb to the treatment you are offering than to any drastic direct allopathic attack. I wish you success. Courtney Row ano. Acamepa, Catir. BOLSHEVIK SCOUNDRELS To tHe Epitor oF Lire. Sir: Are the joke editors of Lire de- grading their magazine by the sarcastic religious jokes and hints they are pub- lishing? There are two great classes of people in this country. In one is the congenial good sport who can forget religious and other prejudices in dealing with his countrymen; in the other is the radical bolshevistic scoundrel who allows some outside prejudice to enter into everything he does, whether it fits or not. There are people from all walks of life and from ail ccligious sects in each of these classes. The good judgment of many people in the first class will place the editors of Lire in the other class. Eart C. Hersuey. Hanover, Pa, BOOST GALVESTON! To tHe Eprror oF Lire. Sir: I get a thrill from the new Lire, but I am disappointed that the Neighbor- hood News Department has had no items from Galveston.
