Outbursts of Everett True! PRESSOGRAPHS Money was certainly floating about the voting polls Tuesday. The men working for Burke stood around handing out $5 and $10 gold pieces to the men who would dis tribute cards bearing photographs of the candidate. Sure, the fellows took tbe money, but the cards were found in packs lying about the streets or in an alley. A certain promising young doc tor is somewhat of an automobile enthusiast, but he hasn't forgotten tbe time he bad trying to make his auto climb the hill the other even ing while on a trip to St. Luke's hospital. The car waited at the foot of the hill at the corner of Sixth avenue and Bernard street until the doctor made his visit and came back. Men in Spokane have the habit of flirting. Maybe they don't always stand on a corner and make eyes. ; They sometimes use the telephone. , The other day a telephone rang at a i famil j residence. The small boy answered the phone. "is Marie ' there." came from a deep voice. IAFI WILLING I. R. SHOULD RUN AGAIN Regards Colonel's Activity Sorrowfully, Not Angrily. (By United Press Leased Wire.) BEVERLY, Mass., Sept. 15.— President Taft is convinced that Colonel Roosevelt is planning to be a presidential candidate in 1912, and he is determined to give the colonel a clear field. The president does not want a second term. This information came from an autheitic source. It is stated that Taft will not move against Roosevelt, no matter what tactics Roosevelt may adopt. He regards the colonel's activity sorrowfully, not angrily. The president has been advised that the administration has not been advertised properly, and what it has ccompllshed has not been brought to the attention of the peo ple vividly enough. A press agent has been recommended. Taft has not been convinced, however, and the "soft pedal" policy now in ef fect undoubtedly will continue. CAN'T MISS ANIMALS' PEDIGREES AT THE FAIR. The fact that you may be city bred and correspondingly ignorant of the fine points of live stock will not prevent you from knowing an about the prize animals that t. ill be exhibited from all parts of the country at the Spokane Interstate fair this year. Realizing there are thousands of admirers of live stock, without expert knowledge of the subject, the fair management, for their particular benefit, has ar ranged thin year to have every thoroughbred anima' on exhibition labeled with a detailed description of the particular breed to which it may belong. "You must have the wrong num ber," answered the small boy, whose voice sounded like a girls. "Ob. you will do," came the answer from the deep voice, whose owner evidently thought the party at the other end of the wire was a charm ing, sweet voiced maiden. Every evening lie called over the phone at the same hour and talked to the ob ject of his mental illusion. Finally he became serious and asked to be allowed to call. Oh, what a tumble when lie finds out he has been coo ing and talking "silly nothings" to a boy! MARKET BASKET The warm weather of the last few days has materially helped the tomato crop and prices today ranged lower, good tomatoes selling at 40 to 50 cents. The housewife who for a time during the recent spell of cool weather, thought that tomatoes would be beyond her reach for canning now can get all the tomatoes she wants at a price that pays for the work of preserv ing them. Apples, plums, peaches and pears are plentiful and can be had at rea sonable prices. Fuel prices have stiffened up in the last week or so, and coal that retailed at $8.50 a ton now sells at $9.

THE SPOKANE PRESS URGES LABOR TO GET TEN MEN ON COMMITTEE Editor The Press: The labor i element represent 67 to 75 per cent. I of the voters in this city. Hut why. do they only get one-third of the I charter commission committee? I And this committee is headed'by I ex-City Attorney Blair and ex-Ai-j derman Ostrander. i Te former, in cahoots with Judge Mann, gave labor some good les sons last winter, and the latter or dered the labor committee thrown out of the city hall when they asked for increase in their wages. And a large real estate firm is represented by one of their sales men, a firm well-known around Hillyard. Laboring men, set up five more of your own men and then elect all ten; then you will have what you are entitled to. And don't let the saying come true, that "the masses are asses." JOHX ERIKSON.
