The business affairs OF this division have
been handled by your secretary Mr.. James

The office OF State president becomes an
easy one to look after with such an assistant
as he II is due TO his watchfulnoss and
care that the National board OF directors
approve every clahn Endorsed BY the Texas

RAILROADS.
The report Of the chairman of the railroad
committee is an interesting document aud
shows that tho railroads are not our enc
mics. as is often supposed, and consequently
we must not be theirs They have shown us
many conrtesies during the past year. Aud
while the Interchangeable mileage rebate
may not be all that desire. Il proves 10
be n step in the right direction, aud our
railroad chairman deserves great credit for
his persistent and successful efforts In OBJ
tanning for us this concession. We must
keep up the work begun and press all our
Just demands not In a bashful, but in a
modest manner and etop by step we shall
reach tho ends which We are striving for.
