position in the general land office. called at the
White House to talk with the President in a
social sort of way about the condition of the
negro race and other things in general.
The bishop said to STAR reporter that if
the President asked him about the matter he
would speak favorably of the candidacy of
collector at Galveston. Otherwise he would
not talk of the offices. He said

the race question. Since, some of the colored
people thought that the race was to be ignored.

said, the political state of affairs with
the negro is not as bad as in some other sec
lions. He said he did not think the President

public sentiment and spread of intelligence
would adjust things.
TWO QUIET WORKERS.
Representative Cannon, with the usual secre-
tive smile on his amiable face, slipped into the
Presidentss private Office and had talk with
him, and then slipped out again. Never word
did he have to say, but his smile was more Sc
cretive and more expansive as he came from
the interview. On the steps he met Represent
alive Farquhar, just going up. The two quiet
workers looked each other in the eyes in a
knowing way.

sob, after a WHILE" was the reply.
''Well, guess q man who is getting aDDOint-
ments every day amt in hurry"
All the Congressman are little bit jealous
of Cannon's way of getting things. He and
Lodge, of Massachusetts,, have the reputation
of getting all they want, with a promise of
more.
Farquhar is a good worker, but not quite SO
successful
