TOM WATsON'S MAGAZINE.
Vol. 2, No. l, the July Number to be
Illustrated and Greatly Improved.

AS token of appreciation of the lib
eral support given it by the public,
Tom Watson's Magazine for July (com-
mencing the second volume) came out
June 26 with illustrations, cartoons,
head and tail pieces, etc., 1873 pages of
good reading to take home with you.
OF course, size isn't the only Tom
Watson's Magazine is proud of. Quality
first, size afterward, is it's rule of action.
There are plenty of good magazines
now being published-bu none of them
can take the place of Tom Watson's,
because no other editorial writer in
America can feel the public pulse and
diagnose social and political fills as Tom
Watson does. Not that there is any
lack of good editorial writers-big,
brainy men, who know how to write
strong English-but there is only one
Tom Watson; and he always commands
attention and respect, even of those
who cobalt his ideas most vigorously,
Tom Watson's is "a magazine with a
purpose back of it," and the success it
has attained, in the "waddling clothes"
period of its existence, shows that the
American people are intensely inter-
ested in Mr.. Watson's purpose, regard
less of party names or utilization. That
success has been greater than the most
ardent friend of Mr.. Watson and his
magazine had hoped for. From the
very first it has enjoyed steady growth
in subscriptions and news-stands sales,
There has been no "boom." no mush-
room groth to die suddenly, no sky
rocket ascent to fall broken stick.
Tom Watson's Magazine has been chary
of using professional subscription solic-
itors, but relies upon local agents and
clubbing with the country newspapers.
The subscribers thus secured are the
kind that renew year after year and
form an odd Guard" invaluable alike
TO the publisher and his advertisers
Mr.. Watson was last year the Peo-
pies Party candidate for president, and
of course, his magazine editorially is an
advocate of Populism--or JeGsonian
Democracy. as some prefer to call it.
The magazine is especially strong in
municipal ownership of street railways,
electrict light and gas works, ETC., and
national ownership of railroads, tele-
graphs, parcels post. etc. But Tom
Watson's Magazine is by no means all
politics. About half its is devoted ia
serials, novelties. short stories, poems,
| jokes, cartoons, illustrations and spe.
cial articles by the worlds best writers
and artists; an Educational Depart.
N mt; news summary; "The Say Other
Editors," ETC.: 81 per year by mail; ten
cents per copy at the news stands.
The JIMPLEcUTE is not supporter Of
Tom Watson's brand of politics, but il
recognizes that the question of public
ownership is one that cannot longer be
ignored and that it must be settled be-
fore many years. TIE secure a satisfac,
tory settlement the people must be ed
ucated to act intelligently upon it; and
to secure such education every phase
of the question must be discussed
"Public control' will undoubtedly be
tested thoroughly first, and if it works
r. fsigctoaily the "public ownership
feature will be dropped. But if "con
troll" should fail Ownership" will in
eyitably be the next step, Accordingly
to hel in an educational way, the JIM
PLEcUTE has arranged clubbing com
bination whereby our readers may re
new for one year and secure Tom Wat
sons Magazine $3.50. Hand or sen(
