This is the age of democracy Democracy means ‘human equality of legal rlght and economic oppor- tunity. Women are people, and so share naturally in the equality. That is all there is to it.

It is a satisfaction to citizens in other parts of. the country to know that Missouri is now founding a museum which will house many. specimens of the handicraft of early settlers across-the Mississippi river and in the valley of ‘the.Missduri. There will be interesting pieces of furniture and -interior woodwork, and other relics of pioneer days. The Umted States is still a young mation and perhaps canndt be expected to appreciate fully- the value of its historical treasures and ‘'mementoes of Because this country has developed 8o swxftly from a pioneer country to a land of wealth and power, many of the 'things which helped to bring about that prosperous growth - have been swept aside and lost forever in the onrush of modern things. It is well, then, when the citi- zens. of any locality. recognize: the historical value of their section’s development and set about deliber- ately and thoroughly to preserve some of the relics which mark the stages of that development. A local museum filled' with a wise: selection of objects of historical value would: be an- excellent . gift for any cummumty to make to the whole nation. ————— The freight situation is much like ‘the financial situation.
