The Journals kick last week about
the the GLOBE ''purloiningr an item is
really funny, when the fact is considered
that all the readable items that paper
ever prints are stolen from the GLoBR
after II goes over to Fossil on Friday
evenings, and II was never known TO
| give credit for same. That Is why the
Journal never comes out until Monday,
so as to have time to rehash and copy
the GLoBE's items. Had its editor not
called our attention to the article about
Chas. Slater we would not have known
that 1t appeared in the Journal. Even
II an important item should appear in
public, very few would know it, as that
paper has scarcely any circulation. In
that case the GLOBE would be excusa BILE
in copyingit. See?
