PRIEST URGES WOMEN TO VOTE
Rev Walter MeCrann Says They Can
Help Crush Bolshevism

At the masses at st. Mary's church,
New Britain. last Sunday. Rev. Wal
ter MeCrann. who was formerly a
Putnam boy. and who sang his first
mass here, mentioned for the first
time from the pulpit the recent en-
franchisement of women, and urged
that the women of the parish do their
duty by registering at once While
the women were fighting for the vote.
there was great deal of iocose talk
about the matter. he said, but it is no
longer matter 10 be treated lightly.
II is now stern reality, and every
woman should do her duty and regis
ter When voting. he said, they
should bear in mind that they should
exercise their franchise according TO
the dictates Of their conscience
Word has gone forth. he said, from
the European center of the Reds, 10
spread the doctrine Of Bolshevism
throughout the United States and
those who are to do SO, will be paid
for it. This country needs a
strong and united citizenry and the
women have it within their power to
make it So" he said. He feels conf
dent that the women of St. Mary's
church will not be behind other We
men in This respect.

Club. These members will bring
samples Of their products to the coum
ty seat December 18TH and 18th, TO,
exhibit at the Bates County Corn
Show expet to nave two hun
dred bushels of corn on display
which will make this show the largest
corn show in southwest Missouri.
That this will be success we have
no doubt, since we have visited all
the operators and find that they arc
heartily in unison and are boosting to
make it a successful show.
The present plan is to hold the
show two days and sell the corn at
public auction next spring, using the
money derived therefrom to pay the
prizes. This show will be under the
control of the members who are do
ing everything on their part to make
II success. We are not asking for
donations from any commercial con-
Germs to help pay the prizes. but are
trying 10 make it self-sustaining.
Lets boost for a better Bates
County by boosting for better seed
corn.

Senator Smoot' S
Foresight.
BY r. p. GALLAGHER,
Editor Of The Citizen.

TT Is probable that the league OF
nations plank in the Republican
platform more nearly represents
the views OF Senator Smoot than of
any other senator who took part in
framing the party's declaration of
principles. AS Senator Smoot re-
marked soon after the compromise had
been agreed upon, 1T does not repu-
date the league of nations nor does
II pledge the party To any specific
action for the future" 1t leaves the
party untrammeled to meet the new
conditions while binding II 10 save the
country from the perils which Senator
Smoot discerned in the covenant as
soon as 1t was presented to the senate
by President Wilson.
II is to be presumed that even the
most jealous advocate of the league
will Concede today that Senator Smoot
acted wisely and bravely at time
when the people of Utah were swept
off their feet by generous but mis-
taken impulses. They believed with
an abiding faith that their president
had brought home a covenant which
insured permanent peace throughout
the world and they displayed com
mendable enthusiasm for noble
Aause. II was many months before
Dyiiey realized that Senator Smoot hao
seen through the shams of the coven
mt with unerring vision. Meantime
ne was subjected to veritable whirl
wind of embittered criticism from mer
who have since recanted and come
over 10 his side.
II required high patriotism for thu
Republican senators to brave the
storms of misunderstanding and de
nuncintlon. II was inevitable that thu
Democrats should raise the cry o
craftsmanship and thus obscure TIT
issue. None had bigger odds to face
than did Senator Smoot and none me
them with a more unfllnching courage
and determination.
Those eVil days have vanished ant
sanef view prevails everywhere. w
may be sure that in the long run tn
Amsricsn people will decide the ques
ton wisely and Justly and with thei
unAalip6 idealisn.
