The News editor talked with a
man in Dallas Monday who is a
believer in advertising TO the ex-
tent of $4,000 a year. Eight
years ago he was dead broke"
and running hat cleaning place.
Now he is worth a million and a
half dollars, and has made the
money by selling good hats and
doing good advertising. Such
men do not advertise just to
help the paper. Gar | a n d
News.
The man you conversed with
was, we gather, one of the dele
gates to the Admen's convention
held in this city. Literally he
was the architect of his own for
tune, and instead of being salts
fed with a One-roOm structure
he reared a stately edifice of
which he and his neighbOrs are
justly proud. That man might
have gone on in fair contentment
at the business Of cleaning hats,
and lived and died respected
and not unhappy man. But he
chose to expand. He had a gen
JUS for larger things, and he
called in the aid of printers ink.
Now he spends fortune every
year in advertising and the big
ger his advestising bills become
the better he is able to pay them.
That is the sort Of man who wins
in the advertising game. He
advertises wisely and well, and
from his humble shop and his
soggy sponge he has gone to a
massive establishment and a
gold pen-the latter to sign
checks and figure profits with.
There are now and will always
be hereafter many little ones in
variably will be the non-adver-
Users. Whether it is better to
be big one than a little one is
for the individual to decide for
States Press.

The season is at hand when
young people must decide the
fateful question of what College
to attend. A wise choice has
much to do with the success OF
ones life Some of the ques-
tons TO be considered are N) is
the institution permanent, (2)
Is it adequately supported tinan
cially, CD Has it a competent
faculty? (D Will degree from
it help to give me standing?
(5 Does it offer the courses |
especially desire?
The University of Texas has
the biggest and among the veal
thiest States of the Union behind
it. AS long as Texas lasts the
University will endure. 1t has
by far the largest income of any
University in the South. Its
faculty, more than 80 in num-
Der, hold the highest degrees
gived by the leading Universities
of Europe and America. During
the twenty nine years of its life
it has issued 300 degrees.
Seven members of these degrees
are now members of the Con
gress of the United States; four
are Judges of the Court of Civil
Appeals; many hold professors
chairs in such seats of learning
as Harvard, Colum bia, John
Hopkins, Princeton, Pennsylva-
MIA, California, Leland Stanford,
Chicago; hundreds are teachers
in the best schools of Texas; 9th
err hundreds are well known law
yers, doctors, ministers. engin-
GERS, business men, journalists,
farmers. All are doubtless bet
ter equipped for success and
happiness for having gone to
College.
The University OF Texas offers
the liberal education that every
person should wish for. 1t
maintains, besides, special or
professional courses in law,
medicine, civil engineering, cleo
trical engineering, architecture,
pedagogy, domestic science, Ii
brary science, business training,
assaying, and many others. If
you wish to know more about
your State University, write to

After The Conflict.

The great state conflict of 19l 2
has passed into history. The
candidates for political honors
have made a noble fight, and
those who have failed to reach
the goal of their ambition have
nothing of which to be ashamed.
While few campaigns have
been more intense and heated,
none have been conducted on a
higher plane OF more free from
the personalities and coarse
billingsgate which have hereto
fore been a disgrace TO the state
and some particular candidates.
Ill-advised action Of overzealous
partisans was an exception, not
the rule, and The Mirror com
mends the boys" for their uni
form hightoned course during
the entire campaign. The world
loves good loser" and hates
the fellow who holds a grudge,
Therefore it is the part Of good
democrats, good citizens and
good men for the defeated to
meet the situation cheerfully and
join in the cheering for the sue
cessful administration, and look
forward for better political for
tunes in the future Gilmer
Mirror.
