Too often a young man thinks when he has learned bookkeeping that he has a
business education. Not so; he has only learned ho w to record another man's busi : ....
ness. There is no business education un til one has learned how to take care of the ; ;
instrument with which business is done. Daybooks and Ledgers are the conveniences -5
but the real tools are dollars. Save your money and your money will save you from
idleness from poverty and even crime. A business education means how to care for ' V
and to use money.

TWO LETTERS.
The .other day a friend dropped into
ihe editorial office of die Bulletin and
istat.ed that he had just heard two fel-
lows "kround on the publir square
-abusing the paper for ko lirnrly and so
.exfi&eittly expresgins it views -oh

lyMlele was thinking along this
"JineVfche business manager stuck his
iheadlin the doorway and said: "Here
jire -two letters that 'may be of interest
to "you." The checks had been careft.l-
fvromnved frnm both the letters be
fore they left the business office but
the rest of the contents were worm
- reading. The first one happened to
be from an old time friend. Bernie
.' ..Reagan who for a long time was a
successful teacher in Brown county
but Who is now at Big Springs in the
drug business. Here is part of what
he "said: "Enclosed you will find a
check for which you will please place
mv nanip nn vonr subscription list
again. While 1 was in Virginia and New
York last May you stopped tne paper.
":I do snot know why. I think I was
paid uj. I have been a constant read-
er of -the .Bulletin ever since it was
first Published except tor tne time you
stopped it hs above stated. I believe
it is the best county paper in Texas.

it- at once."
That "was a good letter and started
the editor to thinking that a pap r
- might -'be entitled to a few opinions
how.and then in spite of the two fei-
lows who yvre .talking around on the
square.
The other letter was from Dr. W. W
Stell a well known orehardist and
nurseryman of Paris Texas a man of
advancing years whose life-work has
been for the advancement of the state.
Here is a part of what Dr. Stell said-
"Your favor received notifying me of
the standing of my subscription to th
Bulletin. 1 note you say. 'We hope yu
have appreciated the paper and will
continue to be a subscriber.' Yes. in-
deed I have fully appreciated the pa-
per and shall continue to be a sub-
scriber and 1 think a life subscriber

Soldier 1 love a paper as 1 .do a soldier t
that stands firmly by its- guns. Find

forward."
After reading this the editor turned
back to his desk and decided to con
tinue along the lines he has pursued j

lows who. spend their time around on
the public square talking do think it
wrong for a newspaper to have views
A newspaper without convictions upon
public questions and that is so cow-
ardly as to be intimidated into silence
by street corner critics deserves- the
contempt of honest men.

POLITICAL LEXICON SUGGESTED
The Urownwood Bulletin" would 'lmve
editors remember that they should -1-ways
te ladylike -
Why should editors be deprived of
one of their really . few p'rhileges in
life? -The legislator .already ans'tnl"-
they imve left. Shall a lawyer be nl-
j lowed to refer to bis opponent-as -a
j contemptible petti-fogger a doctor to
declare that the physician . .who pre
ceded him in the care of a case was a
reprehensible quack and a minister
to call his brother of cloth a danger
ous heretic without some similar n
cense being given to the bald-headed
toilers who labor daily with paste
shears and pen? Calling people names
suggests a sort of ostrich Courage and
is no more dangerous to either prin
cipals or bystanders than a French
duel. Besides if aii editor does not
call other people names what incen
tive is he ever going to have to stuiy
the dictionary a book that Is too often
neglected nowadays? Fort Worth
Telegram.
For the purpose of saving ttme in
Texas editorial sanctums the Bulle'in
would succest a special lexicon - of
political epithets all words to It ex-
cluded that are as soft meaning as
mollycoddle. This would save -wading
through an unabridged dictionarv in
the search for proper or rather 'in-
proper words and besides coeld be
brought right down to .dat". Ixmi-;
Wortham is the wordiest man jf the
Texas press can translate the mo t
difficult modern day verbiage in tht
twinkling of an eye and would no
doubt undertake the editing of such a
dictionary. George Robinson has the
knack or looking carefully all round
about and over and under every propo-
sition that comes under his eye and
might sere as word censor to decide
when a term has enough vitriol in it
to permit its admission to this editor-
ial handbook. With a work or this
kind on every editorial desk the busy
editor might readily learn just what
the other fellow is driving at when he
hurls some or his fiery lingo in his di-
rection Cnder the present haphazard
anU interchangeable use of words it
is often hard to understand just the
nature of every accusation in the po-
litical writings of the day.

Hate politics can never represent
the true democratic sentiment- De-
mocracy was never and can never be
propelled along those lines. The old
party was not .so built. In a broader
spirit of liberuli.ty and patriotism and
of individual thought and action the-
democracy of the fathers was fashion-
ed and the democracy of the sons will
be conducted if the sons -bin revere

or the fathers. Austin Statesnvu.

The rich man buys them because
they are the most delicate and pala-

On the other hand. tHe poor man
buys them because ther are so eco-

meats and in buying them he gets full
value for his money. And both classes
find them the mos nutritious and ap
petizing oysters ever hut on the
market. .
