Absorbing Film
Private Performance of
The Confession Given
Here Sunday

Possibly the most discussed and
least understood part OF the Roman
Catholic belief, among non-Caho-
lies. is that relating to the forgive
ness Of sins by the priest. IN the
confessional. To the Catholic who
makes his conf ession in the behe1
that tho priest is the Vicar OF
Christ on earth, and has the power
as such to forgive sins, the COMES,
sional is looked upon as any other
point OF doctrine. Not so the non
Catholic whose chief objection
seems to be that particular part OF
the Catholic ceremony. But wheIa-
or one may or may not believe IN
rho efficacy of the confessional as
a means Of bringing comfort 10 the
sin-burdened heart. the play lounu-
ed on that theme and given an eH-
hibition run yesterday afternoon IT
the Dixie theater by Manager Nus[
sell Linn and Reno Fleming IS OF
such absorbing interest that 1t IS
bound to be a most successful ven
tnre for the two promoters, VINO
have contracted with tho First Ma
tional Exhibition Exchange Tor the
sole rights OF production IN West
Virginia and Western Pennsyl-
vania. The name Of the play IS en-
titled THE Confession.
A priest is depicted, VINO pos
sesses through the confessional IN
formation that would save ms
brother from the gallows. yet ne
faces the court In silence, refrains
from telling his own mother that
his brother is innocent and is pre-
pared to see him die rather than
diyulge the secret OF the comics
sfoual. Thrilling at times, pathetic
at others, engrossing always, the
scenes shift rapidly, working OUT
one OF the most consistent plots
ever conceived.
The author of the play is Hal
Reid. Il recent convert to the Cath
Ollie church. and the play has the
approval Of Cardinal Gibbons and
Cardinal MercIer of Belgium.

it has never been picturized in such a
truthful and instructive manner There

is no more pitiful and hopeless state
than that endures, more or less brave
ly, by those who find themselves out
OF harmony in their matrimonial re-
lations.
Great psychologists have splurged
wells Of ink on this subject yet but
to little avail, for love mad youth
would not be denied and the glow of
romance has all to often hidden a
abyss of misery that lay just beyond
the alter.

The Department of Justice of
the Government is waging a war
against high prices and was
bound to sooner or later touch
on coal. When that time came
there was an effort made to
prosecute operators of Pennsy-
lvania under the Lever Act,
passed under the stress of war
times, but the judges held that
that law was unconstitutional.
Efforts to prosecute coal oper-
ators in the Soutern judicial
district of West Virginia led to
100 or more indictments which
are hanging in the courts. The
Federal grand jury in that dis
trict at its last sitting did not
indict any further operators but
ruled that a fair profit was 81.
Is a ton.
The proceedings have been a
little different in Northern West
Virginia. When the probe first
started some few Of the oper-
ators refused to give informa-
ton asked by the Department
of Justice and as a result 1856
operators of Northern West Vir-
ginia were summoned to appear
before the Federal grand jury
a few weeks ago at Martinsburg.
The operators met at Fairmont
and passed resolutions arrang-
ing for a Fair Practice commit
tee which was acceptable to the
Government which is giving the
operators an opportunity to
solve the vexing problem of high
costs by their own voluntary
action and without the stigma of
indictment In line with thig
the Fair Practice committee has
divided Northern West Virginia
into districts and welcomes com
plants as to needs of coal or ex-
cessive prices, volunteering to
provide coal at SIS to Sc ton f.
O. b. railroad cars at the mines
which is contract price and some
thing less than half what the
sam ecoal will command in the

ties make up one of these dis
tricts. Complaints go at this

Not even when war between
Germany and the United States
was seen to be inevitable had
Governor Cox reached the point
where he was willing to take
from falling hands the torch
which they had thrown who fell
in Flanders Fields. He was not
yet a candidate for the presi-
dency. He was still catering to
the German vote in Ohio. And
so we find him on December Is,
1916, when the call to arms was
about to be sounded, expressing
this sentiment:
Germany seems incapable of
being knocked out"
One might go on interminably
quoting these outrageous senti-
ments of friendship for the foe
of civilization. What has been
reproduced already indicates the
type of man it is who now seeks
out wounded American soldiers
and pays court to them in hos
pitfalls, and rings the changes in
spoken word of a patriotism to
which his printed words give
fiat denial.
Note that the selection from
Colonel McCrae's poem has been
carefully made form that part
wich carries the line eff yea
break faith with us who die"
Governor Cox is asking that we
keep faith with Europe" by en-
tering Wilson's League of Ma
tions.
One marvel at the effrontry
of it! That one should summon
the people of the United States
to keep faith who in faith was
so sadly lacking when faith was
needed most.

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

Young, able-bodied, rich 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
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 Scrlpps 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 discreditable 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.
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 impotence and disgust with
the yonug mans loose talk about 4
senate oligarchy" 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 1t 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 q
Federal prosecution for conspiracy ts
evade the draft.
