Show -SAYS - Will Rogers "BEVERLY HILLS. Well all I know Is Just what I read la the par pers, and the Birds I run onto as 1 prowl hither and thither. Well guess who we had out here couple of weeks ago. Not a Soul but my good friend, (and yours) Viet President Charley Char-ley Curtis'. Yes Sir the Newspaper Newspa-per men were holding one of their PeriodI- a cats, and Charley was the Gold Fish. You know he Is a mighty human kiind of a cuss. He is a Kaw Indian. In-dian. There alnt many of em. Its " Just a little tribe In Kansas and northern Oklahoma. But they are good Indians. Not as good as us Cherokees, but good enough. Charley Is mighty well liked among all the Injuns. You know Us a mighty One thing to have a little old western boy, of part Indian parentage par-entage become Vice President of these Ex great United States. He has held about everything worth (holding in the way of Jobs In the gift of his State and Country. He was a Senator for years, and become be-come Republican Leader, and a good one. He knew trades, be was raised as a Jockey, and rode on all the little half mile western tracks, and today he lores racing and never misses going to a meet at any of the tracks over the line from Washington Washing-ton In Maryland. He would rather have a little bet on an old Plug, than to hear Borah speak on "the League of Nations and Why." Ha sets up there studying the dope sheet, while Jim Watson delivers a tirade against I'nt Harrison. Then iPat bumps bim of? with one remark, just as the Vice President has found what he thinks will arrive first in the third race at Plmllco. I go to see bim every time 1 go to I Washington. He has always been a good friend of mine. Last time 1 was there I had lunch with htm In the Senate Restaurant, and by the way he had Pat Harrison, and some other hungry Democrats, there with us. You know thats a funny thing about that Senate, they get up there and bellow and rave against each other, and at heart they are alt good friends. They know there is a certain amount of "Hooey" to be gone through, and they kinder tolerate tol-erate each other carryings on. They kinder got Vice Pres Curtis going now though. He is not right sure If he wants to run for the office again' or go back home and come out for the Senate again. You know you take an old football player and he never feels the same refereeing a game that he did when he was down there playing In It. Well that's how Charley feels. He sets up there with a hammer, but none of them are close enough that he can really do much good with It. There ought to be Just some Clerk . or somebody that Is drafted for the job. Just a good Parlimentarlan that knows the rules and he hollers 'Order." I tried to find out from Charley which job he was out for. Put you cant get much out pf these Politicians. But he is "On The fence." I told you dldent I about being . down awhile back to John Garner's tome? He Is the next Speaker of the House. It was an awful homey place. He has about seven acres Tight In this beautiful little lit-tle town of Uvalde, Tex and ha has got his own Cows, and lots of Chickens which he feeds himself every day. Quite a hunter hun-ter and Fisher, he had Just killed some Deer sorr ? 3 I SWELLED- VtCANtY Am J out of season. He was shooting at some quail when he hit the deer. Course the Quail was out of season sea-son too, but he dldent hit them. 1 dldent want to eat the deer that night for dinner on account of It being against the law to kill It, but it was all the meat they had and I was hungry. He has a lot of Pecans too. He said they was soft shelled. Alnt It funny how a fellow in Politics Pol-itics will Just lie, whew there la really no reason for it? He could sea me clamping down on these Pecans with one of the best set of .. Tusks ever swabbed In Pepsident, yet I couldn't even make a dent In r em. Here I had cracked Hickory Nuts and old black Walnuts with these Molars, but they met their , ' Waterloo that day when I tried to Ink em Into Jack Garner's SOFT helled Pecans. He raises his own Grapes too, and but as I was saying, Its a mighty livable life he lives there. Hl Son and Daughter in law, and a might pretty little Grand Daug- ter lives right next door. It waa a place I would have liked to stayed longer, but I would have sure' wanted a hammer on those SOFT Shelled Pecans. I am going to Washington to wateh him In the' Speakers chair, cracking em with hia Gavel. (9, 19J1. McNaugbt Syadkate, lac) |
