Sealed Lips" /"

In "Sealed Lips" which is coming
to the Gem Monday, a remarkable
story is presented.
Cyril Maitland and Henry Everard,
friends since childhood, are of con-
trasting tenperaments, the former
hot-blooded and impracticable, the
latter cool tempered and possessed of
sane viewpoint of things. Cyril,
studying for the priesthood, is en-
gagged to Henry's sister. Marian, and
Henry, studying medicine, is engaged
to Cyril's sister, Lillian.
Cyril ruins a pretty and passionate
girl Of his parish, Alma Lee. and
when child is about to be born, her
father swears to kill the man, but
Alma conceals his name. On the night
the child is born, Alma's father is
found dead; Cyril being about
Henry's build, has worn his clothes
and witnesses see him in the woods
where the crime was committed.
Henry is convicted, and is sent to
prison, Alma declaring him to be the
father Of the child. Lillian alone be-
lieves him innocent. Cyril keeps 81
lent, but when about to speak Is held
back by his father, who thinks him
unstrung.
Cyril rnarIies Marian, bat his con-
.sciaEca t.ssaaas deaaf.ss issie4
leased after twenty years IN prison,
and visits the cathedral presided over
by Cyril, who has become the great
Dean Maitland. Cyril sees Henry IN
the congregation and there is a pow
erful scene. Cyril meets his son with
a letter from Alma asking for his ed
ucation; then Alma dies, and her son,
learning his identity, renounces his
father. Marian dies, and Cyril is con-
science stricken. Henry, remember
ing his old love for Cyril, writes a
letter Of forgiveness to him, but
CyriFs pride is broken, and repent
ance enters his. soul.
The next day, Sunday, his sermon
is at first trite appeal for repent
ance and then dramatic confession
of his own sins, when, falling from
the pulpit, he drops dead.

what VIII People Say p

Nine. Petrova.. the noted emotion
al actress, who has long list OF
brilliant successes to her credit, on
both the stage and screen, will be
seen at the Grand Theatre tomorrow
in the powerful fve-part photoplay,
"What viii People Say?' plcturlza-
ton of the novel of the same name
by Rupert Hughes. The story OF
"What Will People Say? is as foi-
lows:
Persis Cabot, an attractive and
talented young woman, is confronted
with the problem Of choosing between
the man of her heart and the man
who can give her the luXurles TO
which she has been accustomed. oW-
ing to her fathers financial reverses,
Persis is induced to contract a mar
riage with Willie Enslee, whose I'M
mense fortune makes it possible TOT
her to reinstate her father IN ms
former place in the werld Of finance
and society. The marriage proves a
failure.
Previously, Persis has met Harvey
Forbes, gallant young army offlcef,
when he was returning from service
in the Philippines. They love eacn
other, but Persis explains her pre-
dicament and Forbes goes away. Al
ter her marriage to Enslee, Persls
meets Forbes again at a reception,
and they both confess their undy1hg
love for each other.
Soon after this, Persis discovers a
liaison of her husband with a former

Soldiers Home and Woman
Director.

Considerable discussion was raised
III North Carolina over the legality Of
appointing a woman TO serve on the
board Of directors of the Soldiers
Home. However, the chairman Of
the board, Colonel a. III. Boyden,
used his untiring efforts and Mrs. b.
&. Little, state presisle lentt Of the United
ssgigtsrs o
appointed to the board This breaks
all precedent IN the state of North
Carolina. But the old soldiers are
happy, for they recognize the value Of
woman's help during the war as well
as after its havoc. and Mrs. Little will
find much opportunity to add to the
comfort of the occupants Of the Sol
diers' Home. Individual homes and
state homes need women's service.
The direct way to help in state affairs
is by the ballot in the hands OF Wo-
men. Then the woman's influence
will be potent for the solution of all
problems.

Wornea Cslrafes.

Who would have believed that Lon
don could 50 reverse its attitude to-
ward women as to consider serious
sIy the question of women eurates?
Many eIergymen have gone to the
trenches, and theological students
who have not already enlisted will
probably be absorbed by the cornpul-
sion act, hence there is danger that
there will be insufficient numbers left
to fill the pulpits. There may be
commissions to modern Marys to go
and tell the disciples Of the resur-
rection; to Philips daughters Of to-
day to prophesy by the will of God;
Deborahs# may lead the hosts Of Is
rael and judge the people; Anna may
tell of Him who is to come and the
whole church be vitalized by Sons
and Daughters who shall pfophesy,
and by handnaidens upon whom the
spirit has been poured. Equality Of
opportunity is needed for women IN
the church and in the government.
Only votes for women are needed to
bring about the preaching Of the
church for the practice Of human up
lift Men preachers alone and men
voters alone cannot achieve the ethics
Of christianity.

} rd;ssissippi Suffrage.

The Mississippi senate will recon
slider the vote on the woman suf-
frage bill. On third reading the bill
for equal suffrage was voted down,
but SO much sentiment developed that
there will be another opportunity gi-
ven to consider the advancement Of
Mississippi women. Wonder il these
women would use the ballot as IN
telligently as western women? And
by the way, what makes the western
women SO alert on public questions!
.sThe proof of the pudding is IN the
eating. !" This maxim applies to wo-
man suffrage. A woman writing
from Washington says: sThe men Of

ginning to see that some vital prob

BREEDING WILD FOWL
Local Sportsmen Cooperating witt
Conservation Commission.

A phase Of the excellent work be-
ing done by the Conservation Com
mission Of Louisiana in the pfopaga-
ton of wild life is the distribution
throughout the state of Chinese ring
neck pheasants and wild ducks for
breeding purposes. The birds are
being sent from the state game farm
at Avery Island, which IS under the
direction of E. A. McIlhenny, and are
consigned to responsible parties who
have made application for them and
rs szsih. take an interest 7 pF'a'sa''as
Several pairs of these wild fowl
have been received by bird-lovers In
this vicinity, who after breeding
them IN captivity until fair-sized
aocks have been started will release
them on posted land, where they will
have all opportunity to further IN
crease their numbers. The ducks are
Of the green-head and black mallard
varieties, and are rapidly making
themselves at home in their new en-:
vironment, as are the pheasants.
This practical manifestation of con
servation on the part Of the stats
commission charged with the preser
vation and propagation OF the game
resources of Louisiana has elieitee
much favorable comment from loca
sportsmen, and the outcome of tht
interesting experiment will be watch
ed with keen interest.

LIVE WIRE SPARKS

Observation-Disclosures III snSnN""""
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Courier-Reporter, wrote last week OF
the trip of the Kennewick CONNER
cial club to Hover, but inasmuch as
our views of the general results OF
the meeting were not set forth, we Will
take the space for, few remarks.
A. R. Gardner was the first speaker
and emphasized the need of letting
the county officials know exactly what
was wanted and then keep after them
continually. We heartily approved OF
his remarks and might add that this
has always been the policy of the Live
Wires, and we pride ourselves that our
efforts have usually brought results.
DR.. Crosby opened the fire works
when he came directly to the point
by accusing the Live Wires of start
ing the ferry controversy and OF be-
ing responsible for circulating the re-
port that the Kennewock Commercial
club was working to combat the in
terests of Hover. When he mention
ed the Live Wire Sparks somebody
laughed, and we are at a loss to know
why. We would give a lot to know
what the joke is.
Hughes followed and smoothed
things over temporarily by changing
the subject. He explained that the
district between Hover and Finley had
paid approximately $33,0OO.00 into
the general road and bridge fund dur
ing the past eight years, and with the
exception of opening one short stretch
Of new road, but a small percent had
been spent on the road between Fin
ley and Hover.
Phillips and Toothaker brought the
subject back to the ferry quite forci-
bly, and E. M. Sly and L. E. johnson
spoke more on generalities - rather
smoothing things over. Johnson spoke
well to the point on the strawberry
union but rather slipped up when he
explained that one of the considera
lions that influenced the Commercial
club to endeavor to have the ferry
moved to the O-W. bridge was because
that would mean that the Walla Wal
la county commissioners would hav'
to build the road along the river OF
the Walla Walla side and save Bentol
county the expense.
The editor of the Live Wires, who's
views on the whole subject had beel
more generally made known than any
one else, sat thru it all as dumb as
mummy. The truth was he felt con
siderably out Of place. Invited to g
down with the Kennewick Commercial
club, he felt very backward about ex
pressing his views, which would of ne
cessity have offended some of thos
present, and that feeling was onl
increased thru an interchange of sa
gacious winks with Chairman Tren
bath in an endeavor to solicit an in
vitation to speak, but they were en-
tirely Intellectual in securing the in

Items Of Interest Concerning Our Neghbor Hereabouts

Ill.
meeting was about closed, without
any attempt to get out and discuss the
Hover crouch and the causes and the
remedies, E. M. Sly took the floor and
got down to business. He had just
grasped the fact that Hover really had
a kick coming because the Kennewick
Commercial club had attempted to
take away the one chance of getting
a good road and had done so for en-
tirely selfish reasons. He explained
that it had never occurred to them that
they might be injuring Hover. 1t
was then too late to thrash the mat
ter out fully, but if the meeting had
opened with as frank and full state
ment of the conditions it would have
been much more profitable and ev--
eryone would have been satisfied. AS
it is, however, there is no doubt that
the Kennewick Commercial club In
large measure failed to accomplish the
purpose for which they went down, so
we will have to butt in again.
We cheerfully admit DR.. Crosby's
accusation that we started the talk OF
the ferry controversy. Early last fall
we learned of the indignation of the
people of Hover and went to two
members of the road committee of the
Commercial club and told them of the
dissatisfaction over it, warned them
that their proposed action would an
tagonize the people of Hover and tried
to induce them to use their efforts to
establish the ferry at Hover and to
consult the feelings of the Hover peo-
pie in the matter. We were assured
that the commercial club had not for
gotten Hover, but had arranged with
the County Commissioners to build a
road to Hover BEFORE the ferry was
moved. We still thought Hover the
logical site so we stated our views
plainly in the Live Wire Sparks.
What did happen? The ferry was
moved, the county commissioners had
spent many hundreds of dollars in
building an approach for the ferry
man, tho it was a private enterprise
and finally the new site was abandon.
