The Gimlet Brings OCtober's News Items
Up to Date With Characteristic Swiftness

The Morning Cimlct. sometimes known
as the Herald Republican. brings forth
the evidence again. II has scored more
beats on The Tribune II you don't be-
llevc II, just read tho reproduced head
lines in the Gimlet'S three sheet poster.
appeared In the Gimlct Thursday morn
Ing. that is really corkcr. Countess
Save Girls" That is the headline in
tho Gimlet. Tho story is a fine young
advertisement for woman who s3ys
she is Austrian countess or was. and
that her name is Countess Ethlen. Now.
ono dark and stormy night In the middle
OF last October The Tribune ran foul OF
Madame ~Bcthlcn- She sent for =; repre-
sentative Of The Tribune and poured into
his cars the story of her life and some
OF her times. She was here. she said,
10 push her new religion, This religion is
called Bahia Rallabahoo. or something of
the sort. II Is based on the attempt to
spread tho good old doctrine OF the uni
Yerss,l brotherhood OF man. which is mean
enough to refuse 10 spread with alacrity.
When the representative OF Tho Tribune
was leaving Countess Rcthlcn confldcd to
him that. in order that she might eat
she was selling &c face lotiong. which
ze gentleman villa see on zc dressair." "
True to her word, the affablc countess
placed her wares in shop on state
as she Intended to do. The
Tribune had q photograph in its
possession on The night whcE II en-
countered Countess Bethlcn. This pho
tograph was gra ciously loaned Ia The
Tribune, 'ecf zsy should caire for &c
picture"
This is gospel truth The same fellor
that's writing this is the one who was on
the countess job,
Tragedy OF Lives Being Enacted" is
played by the Gimlet. IL Is story OF a
man who is pretty nearly down and out.
IL is q good encugh story. but there arc
just precisely three thousand seventy six
down and out people In this ward. whose
lives furnish mighty sight more OF hui
man-and inhuman. too--intcrcst than
The man who was "cnactinS the tragedy
Of lives. -
Then the Gimlet lays claim TO n scoop
on a political story, written from its Own
viewpoint. Of course.
Next comes n story about tho high
price of butter and how women arc 10
| organize against the trust, II so hap
pens that the first item printed about the
butter business was suggested by the
wife OF one OF the employees of The Trib-
unc who sent this paper a communica-
tion on the subject That communication
started the campaign for decent prices Tor
butter,
quicksapd has been encountered in North
Temple street. Our dearly beloved Iu-
venlc friends, there never was two
foot hole dug on North Temple street
Yet but that Quiclesand was discovered,
The fact is prominently displayed by
the Ginlet that somebody who borrowed
couple of hundred dollars from tho
state land board had paid it back. No
other newspaper ever gave space TO that
sort OF II routine item before and doubt
less never will. Space is too valuable.
SO there is the record OF a day s
scoops falsely claimed by the Gimlct,
Moreover. the Gimlet Is developing j
nasty habit of claiming as scoops items
which did appear In the The Tribune
OF corresponding date. and which tho
Gimet we'll knew were in The Tribune
but unscrupulously put forward as eX-
elusive stories printed by it.
\ sample of the scoops printed in the
Gimlet is In evidence when il contradiCtS
Itself. as il does with Characteristic frc-
queucy in the following railroad items.

them
