 Washington, May 13.-Women ap- parently have been cast in ths role of peaeemakers within their own po- litical parties. The men should re- member the good old Biblical injunc- tion, Blessed be the peacemakers, for they shall inherit the earth and watch their step. If they do not stop quarreling among themselves, the women may yet inherit their political power.
 Just now it is the sovereign state O. Mi sodri that is attracting the attention Of the peace making polit- ieal women.
 Tn, old state is being pett and cajoled into being good by both i democratic and -eprblican women. Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, leader Of the democratic feminine contingent, entrained from Washingt' for Mi is- souri Friday. Mrs. Frank R. Dodson' main organizer for the republican national committee, left the capital earlier in l'e week with the same destination in mind.
 Tine "show me" sts-e has been acting outrageously both from the democratic and epublican point of view. Mrs. Blair has gone to Mis- souri to hel smooth over the tenn pest in the party caused by the aeri- monious contest for the senatorial nomination between Jim Reed and "Breck Long. Mrs. Dodson upon ar irving in Missouri set about reorgan- izing the republican women because of the trouble generated by the Gold stein affair
 l,either Mrs. Blair nor Mrs. Dod- son is taking sides in the affairs at hand Their main job is to hold their respective feminine constituents together.
 Grave anger
 There is grave danger in Missouri that the democratic wor1en will take too decided d stand upon Senator Reeds candidacy. Not only has he opposed any measures which women have advocated l the Eenatet but he is bitterl.. opposed by mer Pres ident Wilson, upon whom the demo cratic women generally look as the great lead< of the party. Within the past week the. term by which Wilson characterized Reed as a 'tmarplot' has registered to an un- comfortable degr in the minds of Missouri women voters.
 There has been a great upset In the feminine republican ran in St. Louis. a stronghold of republicans in the state. This has been caused by the revival of the old presidential campaign scanda connected with Cioidslein and Babler W the Senate held up and the President finally withdrew the nomination CT GelI stein as collector of internal venue at St. Louis The Goldstein faction in St. Louis has been removed from power and a reorganization of the women is tak4.g place under the di- rection of Mrs. Dodson, representing the republican national committee.

 The headquarte-s staff is congratu- lating itself that everything came off so beautifully at the convention ex- cept for a few minor ir ents The tragedies connected with these minor incidents are beginning to show their humorous sides now.
