FLORIDA RUDE
EDITORS WILL PLAY
JOURNAL CHAMPIONS

The matter of team colcrs having
been called to our attention, we sug-
gest green. Green suits our complex
ion best, and green 1t shall De-" These
colors may be exchanged at the option
of the wearer for black and blue, af-
ter the game is over and and we have
administered to The Journal bunch a
fiagellation that will go down in his
tory hand in hand with Waterloo, Bull
Run and Reno.
We want a full attendance Of the
''Rubes." Let nothing keep you away.
If something isn't done at once to re-
lieve the cranial fatulence of those
Pensacola pee-wees we hardly dare
prognosticate the direful consequences
to West Florida journalism, and it is
UP to the rube editors to administer
the required sedative. We want every
newspaper man in West Florida to
drop US q line stating whether or not
he can attend, also what position he
prefers to play, in order that we may
make a line-up of the team and an
nounce 1t before the game.
1t has also been suggested to us
that the rubes get themselves up in
toggery BETTING the noble character
Of ''yap." We think the suggestion
a good one, and pass il up to the
Reubens with the hore that they will
see the point and dixie up"
Now, bold yeomen of West Florida,
We see with whom We have to cope
withal-a sort of menagerie of resusci-
tated corpses, so to speak. This
frolicsome team of animated cadavers
having twice defeated the News team
now proudly vaunts it's ability to put
one. over on the most invincible body
of men the world has ever seen, not
even excepting Napoleon's Old Guard
and Leonidas with his band of Apachee
warriors down at the "narrows" on
Choctawhatchie Bay.
Noble Rubes, it is up to us to humble
their pride. Let us go at them with
fire in our eye, thunder and lightning
in our hearts and birthstone in our
pistol pockets. Let us go at them just
in the way that the gallant six hun
dred" went for the playful Patago-
mans. when they knocked the splinters
from the rafters of Mr.. Scrudgins'
barn and astonished the world by yell
ing to the citizens of Hardscrabble
Put none but Americans on guard to-
night"
Go at them. Wipe up the earth with
| them. Throw the vain braggarts three
leagues into the sea; and all nature
and womankind in general shall sing
Yankee Doodle with ecstatic exuber-
ance when they shall hear the tri.

"Hurrah for the Rubes!!'

In his biennial report Attorney Gen
eral Stead OF Illinois roundly condemns
the habit Of sloveIly legislation to
which the Legislature of his own and
those of most other states have be-
come addicted. Admitting that some
of the existing statutes, enacted years
ago, have outlived their usefulness and
are in need of repeal or revision, he
considers the never lending flood Of new
and ridiculously defective laws q much
greater nuisance than the retention Of
ancient and obsolete ones.
With perhaps few exceptions
though we do not recallsany just now
the remarks of Mr. Steard apply to
all the states. Slovenly legislation
seems to be ono Of the vices Of the
times The fact that the legal pro-
fession has in most legislatures larger
numerical representation than any 9TH
er profession, trade or occupation, the
oretically, should insure properly
drawn laws at least. In practice, It
does nothing Of the kind. The results
are nearly everywhere revealed in ap-
palling masses of conflicting, undigest-
ed and indigsstible statutes. CORE
spending masses OF costly litigation
and e general uncertainty as to just
what the law on any given subject act
ually is, and whether 1t will remain
law after the courts have finished with
it.-New Orleans Times-Democrat

Fer Small Fire caused ~ Oil fron
Broken Lamp.

An alarm. was rung IN from box 81
at f1.20 o'clock Friday forenoon Tor
a slight fire in the house occupied BY
John Meikle. 81 Spring street. The
fire originated from = kerosene lamp
that was overturned upon hot stove
in the kitchen and was put out BY
occupants Of the house and most of
the companies notified before they
left their respective stations
The recall was not sounded quickly
enough, however, to prevent the Mont
gomery hose company from turning
cut.
Miss Mary Cady, q maid in Mrs.
Meikle's employ, WAS busting a man
tie behind the stove. and in some way
brushed off the lamp upon the stove
and the kerosene was quickly ignited.
Thomas Meunier, who lives in the ten
ement beneath, and James Casey
quickly got the fire under control
When the fire. was first discovered a
request was te1ephoned to Alert Hose
company to have the alarm rung in.
The house is owned by Alexis Caisse
and both he and Mr.. Meikle are fully
protected by Insurance.. The loss was
small.

EDWIN MINER PRESIDENT
Of Newly Formed Ananias Club. at
Los Angeles.

From Los Angeles to a New York
paper comes the Interesting tnforma-
ton that wealthy eastern men winter
ing at Pasadena have formed one Of
the most remarkable clubs In the
world and that Edwin Miner Of
Moosup has been chosen its president.
They have named it the Ananias club,
and its only object is to afford them
an opportunity to meet and swap
lies" These men don't mind using
one of Colonel Roosevelt's plain and
uglies," because they thus jocu1arly
refer to the tall stories which they
tell when they meet nightly after din
ner in a secluded corner OF the palm
room at a certain hotel.
No person, unless he is a newcomer,
breaks into the charmed circle where
the yarns are snapped. AS each one
and most wonderful tale, the air is
rare Havanas, which aid inspiration.
Only artists can tell good. Impossible
yarns and make them sound reason
able, but all Of this group of men are
credited with being Artists in their
line. Baron Munchausen could not
hold a candle, could he come back
into the flesh. "Chestnuts," however,
are barred.
Mr.. Miner is credited with election
as president of the quite wonderful
club through the fact that he has per-
formed many doughty deeds on the
golf links of the Annanda1e Country
club, to which all of the eastern men
of the group here referred to belong.
He will return to Moosup during the
spring.

JAMES E. MURPHY GONE.
Wife Knows Nothing of His Where
ahouts-Rumorsd That He Is Not
Alma =.


It was rumored Friday that a we'll
known married man of the city and
a vivacious blonde-unmarried-
left town for parts unknown.
! The man is James E. Murphy, who
lived with his wife. at 81 Chestnut
street and up to Monday evening Of
this week had, since August 8, 1907,
been employed as Janiter and train
announcer at the union station by the
New York. New Haven & Hartford
Railroad Co. Murphy resigned Mon
day night because he refused to COM
ply with certain requests made of him
to perform certain duties in connec-
ton with his regular job.
Early Tuesday morning Murphy
was seen to board a train for the west
but his destination is not known To-
cally az far as can be ascertained. On
Wednesday a boy came to Station
Agent Arthur s. Griswold with q note
from Mrs. Murphy requesting Mr..
Murphy's weekly pay, but she was in
formed that Mr.. Murphy had been
paid in full Monday night.
Ever since Mrs Murphy has been
trying to locate her husband, who is
believed to have skipped out with the
slightly built, a little taller than MUIR
ply and II believed to belong in Hart
ford. She was accustomed to visit
Murphy frequently at the station be-
tween trains and have long talks with
him.
A number OF months ago Murphy
remarked that he intended to get
through before long and hike it for
the Great Lakes and the middle west.
He is also quoted as saying to a
friend that Zone of these days I'll
just leave a note at the house say
ing that I've gone and that there will
be no need Of looking for me-"
Murphy is about 5 feet or inches
tall, dark complexion, black hair,
smooth face. When he talked he had
pronounced brogue.
If anyone accosted him he had a
habit of sort of throwing back his
shoulders in peculiarly striking
manner. He never appeared to be in
a hurry and was very slow motioned
in every respect.
Murphy had. a great fondness for
attending moving picture performan-
ces and was accustomed to take IN the
various shows every night in the week
and invariably went alone or with
some male companion. It is said that
he had accumulated quite a sum OF
money
Late Friday afternoon Mrs. Murphy
was still wondering where her hus-
band had gone and quietly endeavor-
ing to learn his whereabouts. They
have no children.
