Tomorrow We Start
Queen Victoria's SjUendid Ex
ample of Women's Citizenship
ip well worth bringing to mind now that American
women are beginning to take up the great problems
of statesmanship.
It is not fair to say that women have not the
capacity to understand and deal with governmental
state questions. ?' j
Two women within our lifetime have been
Influential in Great Britain in public life, each of
them a good wife and a good mother, the noble
Queen Victoria and Catherine Booth, the mother
of the Salvation Army whose daughter, Commander
Evangeline Booth, is the efficient head of the
Salvation Army of the United States.
Indeed the keen supervision of a housewife's
eye may be expected to improve upon the larger
housekeeping of City Hall and the Capitol at
Harrisburg, especially when they go to work on
the Public School questions.
What .would this Store amount to without its
; women workers?
