SPOKANE'S WOMAN BOOTBLACK
Her Business Likely to Surpass That
OF Men Competitors.


With a winsome smile and a
twinkle of the eyes that would do
justice to the leading lady of a high
class opera, Nine. Holland, Spokane's
only woman bootblack, who has a
stand in the lobby of the Columbia
building, is working up business
which is likely to surpass that Of
male competitors.

''No, Nine. Holland is not my

band died l was left to make my own

Volumes that have been written

We may also remark in passi ng
'lal IL seems queer sort of pride

ardent desire to see him elected to

presumably, however, Colonel
Roosevelt regards his boosted unpopu
larity at home as helpful in other
states to his third-term candidacy
for which, without disclaimer from
himself, he was publicly put forward
on Monday by the Democratic gov
ernor of Colorado and the Demo-
cratic mayor of Denver.
Thus formally exalted by two
Bryan Democrats, it would probably
be well for Colonel Roosevelt to re-
member that the tactics of assailing
the supreme court of the United
states and treating it as a menace to
popular rights were experimental
with by Bryan Democracy fourteen
years ago and proved disastrous. But,
of course, if Colonel Roosevelt wishes
to make his third-term campaign on
the same line, it is his privilege to
do so.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

grocers don't sell a pound a year
In New York things French are belu
in high esteem, and if a man makes
remark about the weather there
is great anxiety as to what the
Sorbonne will say about it. In
Emporia the mention Of France con-
iures up visions of diseased goose
livers and diseased magma
tions and diseased morals and the
junk editor of the Gazette has more
reverence for the American Literar,
Society than for the sorbonne."
In that we are permitted to be-
hold the limits to which an angry
man will go in controversy. The
editor of the Gazette, merely to score
a point against the editor of the
Sun, draws overalls over his import
ed clothes. throws away his cigarette,
takes down the corn cob pipe which
has not been smoked since 1885 and
goes out to sit on the barn yard
fence and moralize-all this merely
to demonstrate that Emporia Is
primitive and corn-fed and must
have corn-fed humor.
He knows that if man stepped on
a banana peel at Broadway and Forty
second street there would be as
much wholesome. pure and indebted
joy as possibly could be aroused by
the same delight in Emporia. lie
also knows that olive oil, paprika
grated cheese-the green and white
kind-and head lettuce drove apple
pie out of Emporia years ago, and
that Emporians have not done any
thing so crude as stew tomato in
the last decade. He also knows that
New York writhes in delight when ID
slim German comedian hits a fat
German comedian with barrel stave
and he knows that at the normal
school in Emporia they read Meredith
in preference to Dickens.
The editor Of the Gazette knows
all this and the editor of the Sun
knows it. The Emporia man in his
overalls deceives no one. We all
know that when he climbs down Off
the fence he will go back to his
library and, seeking something toi
read, will hesitate over De MaupaS-
SAINT, Anatole France, D'Annunzio,
Gorky and H. G. Wells.
The two editors seeking to tlnd
a difference between Emporia ant'
New York lead no one astray.--Sh1-
