WI. BRITT TALKS POLITICS
 WITH THE wEsTERNERS

William F. Britt, who returned Thursday from a visit Of several weeks in the various cities of the coasts of Washington and Oregon, spent several days at olympia, wher everybody talks politics. IL was there that Mr. Britt got a good in- sight into the politics of the nation that is being discussed on the out. side. From his observations, he is led to the belief that the coming contest lies between Wilson and Roosevelt. Taft will be the worst defeated man that ever ran. for pres ldent." said Nr. Britt. The Roos. welt Progressive party, however, is gaining ground and it would not be much ot a surprise to see him win, Roosevelt is forceful csmpaignel and a convincing talker; in his public speeches he influences the minds of his hearers and makes converts by wholesale.
 Governor Johnson of California his running mate, is a man Of the Roosevelt type. He is a power not only In California, but iu the nation In my opinion. California, Illinois, and many Of the Western States are sure to go Progressive

The Manicure Lady
poets Has Got to Live Somehow
BY WILLIAM +. KIRK

hGT SURE had a fine time last night,
George" said the Manicure Lady.
4 didn't know tina anybody
could have so good a time in this here
big selfish town. 1 was up to see Mis-
ter and Mrs MCBeth and I didn't get
home at all 1t was raining when the
party broke up, and they wouldn't let
me so home at all If 1 had wanted to
go, which 1 didn't There was a sweet
little girl there named Gibson, from De-
troit, and between Mister McBeth's
~recitations n the rest of the onver
sation everything passed away lovely.
1 guess if father had been there he
would AVE passed away as lovely as
everything"
Folks don't have many good times
in New York Said the Head Barber.
There is too much of the downtown
stuff and too little of the old gather
Observation-Disclosures stuff. 1 was en-
tertained myself night before last up
at a home in Harlem, and every min
ute L was there, looking at my up
state host and his wife, L was think
ing how little real friendship gets a
chance 20 get out among New York
people in general. The town is too
big. lido. and that's all there is to it"
"Wilfred was there, too. last night"
said the Manicure Lady Poor brother
was in fine fetter."
In fine what?' asked the Head
Barber.
IN fine f%etter." replied the Mani
You mean in fine fettle," corrected
the Head Barber. You ought to go
to a finishing school with some of
the tip money that you get"
Never mind what 1 meant! snapped
the Manicure Lady. Some of these
days, George. o are going to prompt
me once too often, and o will be
sorry. 1 knew a barber nee that
spoke out of his turn to a manicure
girl and got a orange stick through
the lobe of his ear. 1t made him look
like one of them Fiji Islanders. You
know they always have WOOden pegs
in their ears or their nose"
When you try that on me be careful
that your judgment of distance is
good" said the Head Barber. Il don't
want to hit a lady"
Well. I wouldn't probably do moth
ing like that replied the Manicure
Lady. But, as I was saying. Wflfred
was there, too, and he had the time
of his life. There wasn't no place for
him to stay all night. so he had to so
home, but he stuck until the last dog
was hung, YOU can bet your life OF
that. We had a swell midnight lunch,
and the way ne went to that would
remind you OF a whale swallowing a
prophet. Another reason that he stuck
