THE OPINION OF THE GLOBE
WHAT We Aiak We TAiakn

In last weeks misuse of the
rag that hangs itself out to dry
every Saturday, appeared an ut
terance purporting to be an edit
orial TRADE against the editor of
the Globe, its followers and its
policies, and from the reading of
the same did we not know the
writer or writer's as we'll as we
do the editor of the Globe might
be prompted to believe that the
circulation of the Times had in
creased by one delinquent sub
scription over their circulation of
the previous week or patent
medicine advertisement had been
omitted in the columns of dis
play Cd that helps to disfgure
the already unsightly appear
ance of the political organ that
is ground out every week on a
lemon squeezer using apple but
ter and a sponge in lieu Of the
proper elements of ink and roll
lers that are usually employed in
the mechanical department of an
enterprising and up to- date
newspaper like the Globe, the
paper that the Times seeks to be-
little.
With every remedy at hand,
land the patent remedy ads are
apparently paid for in the sooth-
ing potions that are so conspic-
uously advertised in its columns)
it seems strange that the person
bearing the epileptic cognomen
displayed at the top of the edit
orial column of the Times did not
avail himself of the opportunity
to follow the directions as print
ed on the wrapper and apply the
remedy in time when he felt the
disease coming on, but like the
fellow who went to night schsol,
the affliction presented itself Tor
was handed him verbatim) while
the scribe was yet awake, and
utterly unable to read in
the day time this hasty pencil
pusher rushed madly in where a
more conservative writer would
naturally fear to tread.
But there is a lurking suspicion
in the mind of the editor of the
Globe that the aforesaid expur-
cation of excrement came from
another source than that of our
contemporaneous scribe who oc-
cupies Cd the editorial chair in
the padded cell from which en-
anate the utterances which fill
the columns of the organ that
might better be renamed BE
hind the Tines, and if so, it is
no doubt the product of a student
of such literature or display as is
encountered in papers of the
Times makeup, brazenly pro-
claiming to decency and the fam
lily fireside "We Cure Men Free. 1"
The editor of the Globe seeks
no personal argument in this con-
troversy but in duty to himself
and to protect the readers of the
Globe from further contamina-
tion from the spittle of hydro
phobic rawlings it cannot refrain
from taking exceptions to some
of the dribblings INDUCED in by
this brilliantly disciple of fren-
zied failure and say a few words
in reply.
Much of the aforesaid rawlings
is worthy only of contempt for it
neither tells a story nor proves a
fact. But when the Times says
that the only object of the Globe
is to deceive the people, it speaks
an untruth. The Globe always
has been and is today, a paper
of and for the people : honest,
fearless, with an opinion of its
own and never afraid to express
that opinion and stand by it's con-
victions let the chips that fly,
fall where they will. The Globe
is its own mouthpiece-not the
mutterings of another nor the
echo of any political demagogue
or grating ofice-seeker. When
the Times states that the Globe
is the vehicle of distribution for
Bour,le's slush fund (if such a
fund exists it acquaints us with
information concerning a quest
ion of which we were entirely ig-
norant heretofore. To the Times
we desire to say in language not
too foreign to it's imbecilic brain,
