That erratic and sporadic luminary on the far western horizon, Littie Harry Floyd, of Pensacola, expert in sowing 4tar-dust, has descended from tie stellar spaces and is trying his Lund at slinging mud-—with Lake- land and her daily paper as his tar-| get. And all because of a paragraph in the Telegram, in which we quoted describing himself as being v ithout any particular body, maybe a leopard, a moth, or a human being, | and remarhed that it read like bug- house talk to us. and so it did, and does, but wheun we wrote the paragraph we had no ! krowledge that Harry had been a resident of Chattahooche, That lets' us out, but it doesn’t let Harry out, for even liad we known ol his one- time mistortune and been mean enough to twit him with it, it would Lave oftered no excuse for his coarse, vicious and silly diatribe in the Pensacola News against the beauti- ful and progressive city of Lakeland aid her daily paper, a performance littie as destitute of wit and decency as it was of truth, Harry should keep his muddled maunder- ings, shot with gleaming threads of genius here and there though they by Harry } caven for doing so, although hardly 5 : i 5 be, out of the public prints it he s» much fame on earth.

You case of that Kansas woman who wuas summoned for jury service aund the judge refused to accept her excuse that her duties as a housewife demanded her presence at home, gets right down to the essence of the is- sue in the woman suffrage question and will be encouraging to those old foshioned people who are against tl at doctrine. ‘““Do you believe that woman has the same rights as man?" said the fellow seated in a crowded strect car to the suffragette holding on by a strap as she stood in the aisle and glared at him. “I do,” she rosped. “Then stand up like a man and take 'em,”” was the prompt re- tort. And that's the way with jury service and other little incidentals that go with suffrage for the fair ones, L] Over in Fort Pierce the editor of the News wants the postoflice under the Democratic administration and the editor of the Tribune doesn't want him to get it, and as a result those two brethren have been saying things about each other in their re- spective papers which were personal in high degree. A libel suit now | looms menacing on the horizon and the bone of contention, the aforesaid | pestoffice, has been lost sight of amid the new issues created by the inter- egting situation. Neither editor has az yet thrown off all the restraints of prudence and denounced the other as a2 "hornswoggler,” and so long as they stop short of this extreme out- rage in personal journalism, amic- are grotesquely unique and interest- ingly original more often than oth- erwise, and for the nuggets and gems we find here and there amid yeur florid waste of words, and the occasional gleam of fine thought and high meaning in your preposterous flights of mystic phrase-making, w: read all you write and hold you an | asset of real but indeterminate value in the literature of our State; but in your latest role of hoodlum slanderer you are fatally “out of drawing” and you read cheap and vapid as a dime | detective story by some penny-a-liner scribbling in a garret. Stick to your text, Harry, which you have found in the shining star- | lanes and amid the murk and gloom of your transcendental mysteries, for tlLere you have a field where you will ! | meet no rival; but don't make ,\‘uur-' self commonplace, dull and vulgar by : dcscending to the tactics of the fish - market wench because a paragraph | from a source not hostile sometimes touches You “on the raw.” RS ey We should think New York would fcel like throwing up the windows and letting in some tresh air.—Bal- timore Sun. | | You don’t hear our old friend, Ab | Hamid, asking for another cup of | coffee, do you?
