Your Attitude
Our attitude in life is most important. If we are mainly
Interested in making a living, then no one can help us very
much; about ninety per cent of the human race are so busy
trying to a living that they do not really live and are
Miserable, not Knowing what is wrong. Ten per cent are in-
terested in life, that is, in making life worthwhile, and makh_¿
tile necessary sacrifices for success, and we would be sur-
prised how interested others will become in that kind of peo-
f|§. A lot of folk often wonder why a certain man or woman,
boy or girl, get along so weM in Ufe and have so many ad-
aairer —the answer is easy, such party is UNSELFISH; they
the past few years are said to have
netted him a private fortune suffi
cient to finance a campaign without
outside help, if he wants to spend
some of it that way.
There has also been considerable
talk that Jerry Sadler, anothei
member of the Railroad commis-
, . . , ,. «ion, might enter the gubernatorial
^ive out a little sunshine and kindness in this world. More* (¡its. Sadler's press agents of re
Important than making a mere living, is the ability to do;
one's job well; and still ahead of all is the cultivation of such
things as poise, grace, kind interest, and a sense of humor.'
'A successful business man once said, "one of the most valu-
able things that I ever learned was to work in harmony with
ftu>n whose personalities and views I do not like; too many
people carry their private likes and dislikes into the business
world.' The small man often carries his personal friendships
and animosities into his business, but, a well disciplined man
loaves such things outside the door; for the sake of making
LIFE worth-while he learns to pull together with men and
women who may have personal views with which he does not
aigree. Most people make the mistake of thinking that a friend
always is a person whom we like, and an enemy a person who
does not like us, or whom we do not like. This is not necessari-
ly true; of course, these personal elements are important in
most friendships, yet, the man or woman with the personal
attitudes above mentioned very often have friends he may
not like personally. They are people who we meet in business,
in our chamber of commerce and other clubs, or our church,
and with whom we learn to live in harmony, even though their
views may make us weary. Yes, it is more important to LIVE
than it is to make a LIVING. If we are to be happy we must
liave the right attitudes toward LIFE.

Doing more than you are paid to do, is one of the first
steps toward promotion.
Life is measured by breadth, not length of years, and un-
derstanding, kindliness and sincerity cover a large place.
Self love and lack of goodwill toward his fellowman has
been the downfall of n any an otherwise successful man.
When one treads the road to pleasure alone, he seldom
finds the road to success. A change of thought is often more
beneficial than change of diet.

Hottest State contest, it appears,
will be over Lon Smith's job on
the Railroad Commission. There are
half a dozen potential candidates,
including Carl Nesbitt, Bill Mc-
Donald, Olin Culberson, and possi-
bly several county judges from var-
ious sections of the state.
The well-timid announcement of
State Auditor Tom King declaring
he couldn't even audit the rural
school aid funds, because of in-
adequate information, makes cer-
tain that State Superintendent L.
A. Woods will have a hot contest,
as he seeks his fifth term. The
Department of Education has

many observers are doubtful

Local candidates this year
throughout the State are early in

sections come reports and published
announcements, indicating warm
contests for legislative and senator-

sheriff, tax collector and county
judge and commissioners.
Altogether, 1940 promises a
splendid political show in Texas,
with national, state district and years.

AUSTIN—Chief political inter

race for Governor in 1940. as the
new year, bringing with it state,
and local campaign
periods, brought an early revival of
political talk and activity.

itowrrrs as an odds-on favorite

month for everybody pledge to the
old folks, he has, of course, lost
some support from that quarter.
Many small business men, too, have
lost their enthusiasm for the "busi-
ness man governor," but offsetting
this, O'Daniel has pleased the nat-
ural resource, public utility and
other groups at whom tax drives
are usually directed, by saving them
potential millions of new taxes that
were not imposed—and big busi-
ness is a vitally helpful influence
in an election, since it is from this
source that most campaigns are
financed.
Hines May Oppose W. Lee
Speculation in Austin centers
around who will be O'DanieFs op-
ponent. There are many rumors to
the effect that Railroad Commis-
sioner Ernest Thompson, runner-up
to O'Dnaiel last time, and regard-
ed as a certain candidate already
campaigning on a platform of more
liberal pensions and higher oil
taxes to pay them, may not run,
after all. One unverified report
purported to chronicle an unofficial
offer from close friends of Thomp-
son to support Highway Commis-
sioner Harry Hines, of Dallas, and

Beauchamp To Have Race
In the judicial positions, chief
prospect of a contest centers around
the place on the Court of Crimin-
al Appeals to which Tom Beau-
champ was appointed by Gov.
O'Daniel. Beauchamp appears now
certain to have at least one, may-
be two strong opponents.
Senator Tom Connelly, by his
fine record during his second term
us a statesman with an allegiance
to his nation and state that is
broader than partisanship, appar-
ently has discouraged all opposi-
tion that might give him any
trouble. He probably will not have
to campaign very vigorously for
re-election.
Texans are watching the presi-
dential campaign with great inter-
est, and the outcome of the Garner
lioom at this stage is largely unde-
termined, and will be, until Presi-
dmt Roosevelt makes clear his po-
sition on a third term. The Presi-
dent obviously, with a session of
Congress just beginning that will
handle many controversial matters,
is going to keep the politicians
guessing about his future course
as long as possible, which is good
strategy.

in 1940 are much brighter than
for many years. Studies and sur-
veys conducted by private busi-

indicate that employment will be at
a high level in comiug mouths.
Hundreds of thousands of new Jons
must be Ailed and employment will
be relatively permanent.
There will be many positions at
the bottom. Jobs that require flttl*-
experleuce and training. There will
also be a great demand for traiued
men aud women. One survey re-
cently completed flnds that "there
la a pressing need for skilled me-
chanics." Another study indicates
that "competent stenographers are
very difficult to flud." Still another
Investigation couclades that "there
is a grave shortage of Junior execu-

Competition for these new Jobs
will be keen. Standards for select.
