DOES ALL THE TALKING.
That Is a Habit That Has Grown on
President Roosevelt.

The fact that Mr.. Roosevelt did all
the talking to Blackburn's Black Bird
Brigade when it went to Washington
has created much interest. Every
mothers son of the aggregation OF
spell-binders was loaded with d speech
which he wanted to get off, The
President didn't give them chance
TO "shoot off their lip" and took up
all the time talking himself. That
seems to be his habit according to
the following from the editor of the
Asheville Gazette, who, writing to his
paper from Washington, said:
There has been q good deal of ado
over the fact. mentioned in this cor
respondence, that the President took
the floor and did most of the talking
when he was visited by Mr.. Black
burn and his friends. The reception
accorded Mr.. Blackburn was the heart
and soul of kindness compared with
his treatment Of others. The Press-
dent practically insulted the whole
Nebraska delegation when they called
10 protest that the marshal OF the Me-
braska district had done nothing to
merit removal. Recently Senator For
aker called at the White House be-
cause. so the story goes, the President
desired to get his views on rate legis-
la1lon. lne President Immediately
monopolzed the floor, never did ask
the Ohio Senator for his views. and
by some Mr.. Foraker is attributed
with an intention to steer clear OF the
White House whenever possible i'll the
future Once upon q time, when the
then Senator Pritchard was i'll at n
hospital il this city, some friends
perhaps without Senator Pritchard's
knowledge called at the White
House to talk with the President
about that lilly white movement
inaugurated in North Carolina and
other Southern States. The Presi-
dent Immediately took the floor, did
al the talking, gave Mr.. Pritchard
virtual roast for starting the move
ment, although it was a notorious fact
that the President himself approved
in the beginning, the course followed
by Mr. Pritchard. But Clarkson and
a lot of negro bishops raised row
and everybody right-about faced"

PENCE AND JENKINS.
Two Successful Newspaper Men
Trained in Raleigh Who Always
Come Home for Christmas.

Raleigh entertained on Christmas
day a couple of newspaper boys who
got their training in this city, and
who hare since lived to make metro
politan communities and national pol
IiticianS sit up and think-to say moth
! ing CT wishing to set 'em up. Gracious
as they are, however, neither of these
local lights who have commenced to
cast q broader gleam have yet learned
the meaning of graft, except to nose it
out and biazon it to the world. Per-
haDs that is WHY, or is one reason why
lthey are such real newspaper successes.
The two metropolitan members of
the 9rofesh referred to are John Wiz
Der Jenkins Of the Baltimore Sun,
and Mr.. Thomas j. Pence the Wash
ington correspondent Of The News and
Observer. Mr.. Jenkins sits on de-
partment of the great f'Sunpaper,'
and what gets away from MIR. Pence in
Washington is only fit for the Zazoo
Mirror. In their respective fields,
which by contact include the news
paper centers of the entire country,
Mr.. Pence and Mr.. Jenkins hold first
rank Both won to their success by
the route of hard work and perSeVer-
ence. Both got their start in Raleigh
in a day when to be a member of a
newspaper staff was almost as altru~
iStic a calling as to ride a circuit with
Bible Neither of these men were
reverent to anything on earth except
their work which is a good form OF
reverence, and their earneStneSS took.
In Baltimore the Sun-paDer could
not get along without John WILDER
Jenkins; and in Washington Theodore
Roosevelt is always understood to con-
suit with Mr.. Pence and get the prac-
tical feel Of q reporter who knows
conditions as they are upon his the
ories before he ventures to let them
slide.
In the busy life Of two such men,
set amid work in great cities which is
hourly exacting, it is PLEASANT to feel
that they have not been lured away
from their affection for North Caro-
lima and for Raleigh. and that. even if
but for a day, they come back like
homing pigeons for the homefOlkS'
holiday.
The News and Observer, in particu-
lar, raised Jenkins and made him along
about the same time he was helping to
make it. Mr. Pence also went through
the grind in this mill and came out
better for the experience. He has now
come back to the family and every day
tells the news from Washington to this
papers readers with a clearness that
is admirable and fidelity to North
Carolina interests and detail which
sets forth Tar Heel activity in the
Capital of the Nation as in q mirror.
Among the many interests that he
serves so well, none gets a larger nor
ton of his thought and loving care
than the "Old Reliable"
Both MIR. Jenkins and Mr.. Pence are
professional and personal products OF
whom Raleigh is proud.
