KEPT OUT OF WAR,
NOW SERVES COX
Publishers Son Escaped Military
Service Through Democratic
Nominees Influence.

Young, able-bodied, rich, a strapping
big fellow, who possessed all the phys
ical equipment of an American soldier,
save, evidently, heart, Robert P.
Scripps was kept out of the war
through Administration influences.
He was exempted. -~>.,...
The local draft board If Butler Coun.
ty, O., rejected his plea and held that
there was no valid claim for his ex-
emption and that he should surely don
q uniform and shoulder arms, but Sec
rotary of War Bakers law partner,
Tom Sidlo, was employed to save the
youthful Stacker. Governor Cox took
a hand in the case, and finally, by
White House decree, he went scot free.
His multi-milliOnaire father, e w.
Scripps, controlling owner of the
Scripps League of Newspapers and the
Newspaper Enterprise Association, a
powerful combination, threatened to
overthrow the Administration rather
than permit either Of his sons to an
swer the call of Uncle Sam.
Administration Exempts Stacker.
Having helped to re-elect Woodrow
Wilson President on the issue, HE
kept us out of war;" the elder Scripps
demanded that his sons be kept out of
war. And the Administration kept
them out.
Young Robert Scripps, who had new
er done any real newspaper work, was
given the title of Assistant to the Pub
Usher Of the Scripps League of News
papers to create an excuse for his ex-
emption. Finally he was ordered home
from Camp Sherman by Governor Cox,
after he had been in uniform for ten
days.
All these facts and more of an equal
ly astounding and discredltable charac-
ter were brought out by the Kenyon
Senatorial Committee, which subpoe-
naed young Scripps to Washington to
explain his activities in the present
campaign. n :, 5s'--'-s's-y-.,N. ,..---.
Now Supporting Cox.
He is today editor in chief Of the
Scripps League Of Newspapers and the
Newspaper Enterprise Association and
is putting out daily pink propaganda
sheets of lurid and sensational char
acter in support of the candidacy Of
Governor Cox.
Samples of these sheets were sub
mitted to the committee, and Senator
Reed, Democrat, frankly denounced the
propaganda as "rot" and manifested
extreme impatience and disgust with
the yonug mans loose talk about a
"Senate ollgarchy" and criticism of the
Supreme Court.
Young Scripps, although he did not
fight for his country in 1917-1S, insist
ed that he was doing it all through love
Of country and in the public interest"
without any pay from the Democratic
committee or thought Of obligation for
keeping him out of war.
The draft-dodging aspects of the
case, as brought out at Washington,
are not unlike those of young Bergdoll
Of Philadelphia, which resulted in a
Federal prosecution for conspiracy to
evade the draft.

Paid For His Paper And The Costs.
The court of common pleas of Law
renee county recently decided small
case involving $5.40 in the interest of
a newspaper published in that county.
It appears from the evidence that
carrier delivered a paper for a year
and several months to one Henry Sci
Der who refused to pay for it because
he had not ordered it. Seiber accept
ed the paper and the family read it.
The court in instucting the jury said
among other things that Seiber in not
refusing the paper was party to an I'M
piled contract to pay for what he got
on the same theory that if a merchant
delivers groceries to the wrong house
and the person who got the groceries
and used them was liable, or a man
called to do days work in a garden
and gets in the wrong lot and works
day with the knowledge of the owner
of the lot, the man who received the
DSlSllL VI IllS man , WOEh was uIlQeE
obligations to pay for the labor, or the
man who cleans another's pavement
while tie owner looks on without or
dering the workman to stop, there is
an implied contract to pay for that
mans services. The same principle
of law holds good, said the judge when
you receive paper through the mails.
In accepting the paper there is an i'm
piled contract to pay for it. The de-
cision by the court in directing a YER
dict against the man who read the pa
per in favor of the publisher is not
new, as the question has been decided
by many Of the lower courts and up
held by appellate courts of nearly
every state of the union.-Huntingt
