THE NEW YEAR
AND A RULE OF LIFE.

Though every day is new beginning.
and so far as personal experience is
concerned new year" may start at
any time, there is something about the
ending Of December and the first week
or so of January that makes even the
careless thoughtful.
The passing year has brought both
! JOY and sorrow to all and a most tragic
and heart. rending sorrow to The Trib-
une home, which, but for the melting
influence of tender, heartfelt commiser-
! alton of our many true friends, grief's
depression would surely have been
much greater. And we have not been
alone in sorrows dim valley Many
others have drank from the same cup,
and but for the sweetness of friendship
there would have been but little or no
/ JOY.
What may the next year have in
store? Where shall we be when the
New Year bells again chime the ad-
vent? Who will be with US Shall we
be i'll or well (? These are disqueting
questions.
There is not one but who has blund-
cred in the old year. Some of it's
pages are blurred with regret, or the
sombre stains of remorse: and no mat
ter what happiness may have been
ours, there is that something we did or
left undone, which has its saddening
effect.
Shall we make the same mistakes
once more, leave the same blotted rec
ord ? II is right that we should look
back and see where we failed, and how:
but our hearts should not be permittes
to grow chill as we turn away. There's.
a battle before US; we should face with,
spirit of determination to do better.
Our leading enemies are within u.s. In
side our citadel dwells that evil temper.
that pride, that Incidence, that greed
or envy that tempts US to desert our
colors. Face the music Of temptation

near, may TIE giver OF all good gifts

REED N WOMEN.

THE following editorial from the
st. Louis Star on Senator Reeds at
tempt to win the vote of Missouri
women democrats is so pertinent
that it is we'll worth reproducing.
The editorial follows:
Talking about the women's vote,
it is almost laughable to observe the
perspiring attempts that Reed is
making out in the state to corral the
ballots of those whom he constantly
stigmatized as not capable of casting
them. He may work himself into a
fury denying the charges that he
abused and villified women who
sought his aid in behalf of suffrage
when it was an issue in congress,
but those who called on him in Wash
..igton will not forget nor condone
the scant courtesy with which their
1leas were treated. He made it
plain, brutally plain, that women be-
longed in the kitchen and the nursery
and voting was no part Of their con-
Germ. Isn't it strange that he is now
willing they should let the steak
burn and the unguarded baby fall
out of the crib while mothers
"~traipse" around the state making
speeches for him and casting votes?
"Once upon a time even those who
hated Reed admitted that he had
courage and there was nothing Of the
apportunist about him. That cannot
he said now. His old bold poise, des-
-troyed by the panicky fear of defeat,
has departed and in its place has
come the old bag full Of political
tricks from set buncombe on the
beauty of motherhood to personal
abuse of everyone opposed to him.
The old Reed is gone;. in it's place is
the rafting shell Of the demagogue."

These advertisements are worthy
Of the notice Of both and

munity building idea that is as old
as the ages, and should be followed
by the patriotic citizen Of every com
munity. They also extend to the
local merchants a cooperation that
is costing the advertiser money and
which he is spending unselfshly in
behalf Of the merchants as wen as
himself.
It il through such cooperation as
these advertisements stress, and the
spirit behind their publication that

q number Of women have called this

their approval Of its sentiment. Sew

with similar expressions. In the past
the Ledgers political editorials have
not always met with popular approval
This vas true during the Free Silver

itorials are written not to appeal to
popular favor but to express what the

popular then we must take the brunt
Of criticism solacing ourselves with

honest opinion strikes the popular

Now ome an editorial in this

Spectator that takes up the controv-
ersy in behalf Of Long. 1t was in
Salisbury, it should be remembered,
that the senator made his speech j N
which the 'slong-eared animal re-
mark occurred, and the P~ress-Specta-
tor insists, too, that the senior SEN
ator is guilty as charged, adding that
no one can be found in Salisbury,
Reed Oh Anti-Reed, who will deny
that it was said.
The editorial in this weeks Press
Spectator, headed Reeds Memory
Getting Bad" follows:
Sin one of his speeches last week
Breckenridge Long charged Senator
Reed with referring to then President
Wilson as that long-eared animal
that goes braying about the country
The remark is credited to Reed in a
speech made in Salisbury in July, two
gears ago.
"In a speech in Mexico, NO., last
Saturday, Reed is quoted as saying:
He (Long), can't get around me by
saying ] said something about a for
mer PRESIDENT gong about like a
l~ong-eared jackass. I never said it,
and the Kansas City paper that print
ed it took it back at my demand
"Since Senator. Reeds speech in
which he thus characterized the
President was made here, the sub
ject has an added local interest.
"In the Press-Spectator's mention
of the speech made here by Reed July
II, 1920, Reed is quoted as having
said the braying animal of the White
House. This quotation is substan-
tally the reference Senator Reed
made to President Wilson, and up to
this time not a single person here ip
Salisbury ever has denied that the
statement was made by Reed.
That Senator Reed used the Ian
guage substantially as quoted by Mr..
Long cannot be questioned. Many
