Christmas Social

nual Christmas social of the Re-
formed church held at the home of

church for the past four years. Rev.
MI. Bloodgood was appointed to the
ministry of the Reformed church
four years ago.
Rev. Mr.. Bloodgood will leave

ship of a larger church. Tributes
were paid to him by several mem
bers of the church here and he was
presented with a pair of gold cuff

his endeavor in the interests of the
church for the few years in this
place.
Mrs. Bloodgood received a unique
and valuable brooch. Through her

Reed has not only fought disarma-
ments and guarantees of peace for
the world under the Wilson admins
tration, but he fought disarmament
and guarantees of peace under the
Harding administration. He has
not only fought bitterly all efforts
to bring about the participation of
the United States in any sort of
league Of nations to guarantee world
peace, but also any sort of agreement
to guarantee peace by reasonable
cooperation In any part of the
world.
If Reed had been able to control
the action of the Senate and thus
control the Harding administration,
there would have been no limitation
of armaments and no peace guaran-
tees of any kind. The nations would
be arming to the teeth and the forces
of might and fear would be in con-
troll of the world. We would now be
building a monster navy and main
tanning great army at crushing
cost, which was the program before
We made any arrangements for the
peace he condemned and yet con-
demns His is the policy which
would have saddled upon us untold
burdens to maintain armaments in
peace and to fight the wars which
would have been inevitable.
The only way Democrats can sup
port Reed is to say their party is
wrong and Reed is right. Is Senator
Reed always right and the millions
who oppose him always wrong!
Shall we repudiate the principles the
Democratic party stood for and YET
stands for, or shall we repudiate
Reed? Is every American statesman
of any administration who wants
the United States to cooperate with
other nations for disarmament and
peace traitor and betrayer of his
country, and Senator Reed the only
patriot? Is he justified in attack
ing all nations with which we deaI
and fomenting suspicion, distrust
and hatred of them? Can we ge,
disarmament and peace by these
methods? What substitutes has he
for disarmaments agreements ant
peace treaties except force and war;
Read his speech and see If he says
one word about that. He is too slick

DOODLEBUG POLITICIANS.

We have him in our midst-the
doodlebug politician. He tries to
straddle and pussy-foot; tries to car
ry water on both shoulders. He Is
friend to your face, an enemy be-
hind your back. He promises one
thing; does another. He is on the
hop, skip, jump and dodge. While
he fools some of the people some of
the time" he, the doodlebug poll
tician, hasn't learned he can't fool
ALL the people ALL the time Nor
he hasn't learned that this is the day
that only those who play politics
honestly play successfully. AS Rip
Van Wrinkle said: "Times have
changed"
The Missouri herald., 1922-05-12
SENATOR REEDS DEFENSE.

We publish in full Senator Reeds
opening speech at Moberly to which
we direct the attention of our read
ers. This is our policy. Our columns
are open to the man we oppose. If
he has a defense we want the world
to know it.
We quote but one extract from
Senator Reeds speech, which is this:
"If l am right in the position I
have taken, then the test to be ap-
piled to my public acts is not wheth-
er l agreed or disagreed with the
President, BUT WHETHER MY
ACTS WE'RE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH SOUND PUBLIC POLICY. By
that test I am willing to be meas
ured."
Now read that again, please.
Whether Reeds "acts were in ac-
cordance with SOUND PUBLIC
POLICY" is the test Reed requests
be applied to him. That Is exactly
right. 1t is because his acts were
not SOUND" but were ROTTEN
that The Missouri Herald opposes
him. We don't give a whoop in
hades about what he thinks about
Woodrow Wilson, or Woodrow Will
son thinks about Reed. But we dc
care about his acts, for which he
says he has no apology nor does not
propose to change.
James A Reed is good criminal
lawyer, and while he has a bad case
of that character, it would be poor
lawyer that could not defend him
self. But his own is the hardest case
he has ever tackled before, and we
think the jury to whom he is plead
ing has already made up its mind.
The opposition to Reed is not
based upon his refusal to follow
Wilson, or to be dictated to by him
as he rants so ravingly about, but
because he was wrong and has per-
sistently continued to be wrong In
his attitude and course toward the
policy of the United States in its re-
lations to peace and to other nations
after the war,particularly to the hon
orable part the United States should
have undertaken, as participant
in the war for peace and democracy
to establish peace on basis Of JUS
tice and amicable international CO.
