Wednesday, March 18, 1914. "Among the things that Wyoming may be thankful is that it is not on the borderland of barbarous Mexico". Enduring jingoism.

British Wilson, border news?

Wilson was in fact an anglophile, but his government certainly wasn't dominated by the British.

And Mexico barbarous?

Some old headlines are oddly contemporary, as are some jingoistic views, we have to say.  This almost sounds like a Trump rally, as over the weekend he declared that some migrants aren't human.


Barbarous?

Is the cigarette ad a football helmet, or a pilot's helmet?


And the brown bottle thing is correct:


The Boomerang was less dramatic, but it did have an interesting item on pipe smoking at a St. Patrick's Day party.
