THE 1920 STYLE
"All we. like sheen, are led" either "astray" or in the
proper direction. So few people seem really to do their own
thinkine. so manv seem blindly to follow the "style," what
ever it may be .that apparently almost anything can be put
over on the general public if only a nttie leaaersnip ana
publicity are forthcoming. . , ;
Durine the war. everyone saved food. It was the style
Nor was any perceptible harm done to the nation's physical
well-being. A fev people, who eschewed wheat cereals, en

that was a minor detail, and by now the adjustment nas Deen

On national committees. In Congress or in any othet
department of government, 'citizens should be - elected to
serve, regardless of sex, for their qualifications to fill those
particular offices. If a. given man is better qualified, he
should be elected. If a given woman is better fitted to oc
cuov a certain place than anyone elsfrthen to her the olace
should be given. There are jobs in the country peculiarly
in need of women to carry them out. There are others bet
ter turned over to men. '
To make any poltical demands for women as women,
and not as citizens, would be to go back a generation.

The announcement in the Daily
i Democrat of January 7, that Bupt.
ARE WOMEN PEOPLE?
That is the question suffragists used to ask, making its
answer the foundation for their demand for the ballot. They
are now being given the ballot, and sex as an issue in politics
ought to drop out of sight forever. The action of the Oregon
Legislature Monday put the women of the country one step
nearer the polls. -
Women are people. Tfyey are citizens. They have equal
rights with men in the matter of electing officers and mak
ing laws.
"'" To demand, as some women have, that each state be
represented on the national committee of either party by
"two. representatives.one woman and one man" is ridicul
ous. It is to inject the question of sex back into matters
