THE TWENTIETB CENTURY MAGAZINE 



A REJIEJV OF COXSTRUCTIVE DEMOCRACY, S0CE4E PROGRESS 



AND INDIJ^IDUAL DFJ^EEOPMENT 



Edited by B. O. FLOWER, the founder of The Arena 



FRIENDS of free institutions and just government are everywhere coming to 

 realize the absolute necessity of the people having at the present time one great, 

 free, untrammeled, and absolutely fearless monthly review of opinion, outspoken 

 in its advocacy of a government "of the people, for the people, and by the people." 

 It is the intention of Mr. Flower and the publishers to make Thi-: Twentieth Century 

 Magazine a review equal to The Arena in its best days, when under Mr. Flower's man- 

 agement. The special contributors already secured for its pages constitute, we believe, 

 the most brilliant coterie of authoritative and popular thinkers among the friends of 

 fundamental democracy and social advance that has ever been brought together in one 

 magazine. The following are but a few of the strong and brilliant writers who will con- 

 tribute to the pages of The Twentieth Century Magazine during the coming year : 



Edwin Markham Prof. Charles Zueblin U. S. Sen. Robert L. Owen Wm. Ordway Partridge Wm. Salisbury 



J. Lincoln Steffens CLarles E. Russell Carl S. Vrooman Brand Whitlock Prof. John Ward Stimson 



Hamlin Garland George Wharton James Prof. Archibald Henderson Prof. Wm. Kittle Lilian Whiting 



David Graham Phillips Helen Campbell Ex-Gov. L. F. 0. Garvin Will Allen Dromgoole Prof. Thos. E. Will 



Each Issue will be Illustrated and will contain at least One Full-pags Cartoon drawn expressly for its pages 

 by Ryan Walker. It will also contain the cieam of the best current cartoons.
