Too often a young man thinks when he has learned bookkeeping that he has a
business education. Not so; he has only learned how 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. Day-books and Ledgers are the conveniences
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
and to use money.

es that it is right to do violence to

for Batleyism as it views It and ha ve.
:a icslear coascience. Does the Signal
.'.think that to be democratic an editor
.must throw his conscience In the
waste basket?
Then again the Signal should dis-
:criminate between ordinary corpora
tions and the predatory corporations
-that 'by trust alliances are throttling
the very life of the government. Cor-
porations are not necessarily bad
things in fact they are greatly bene-
ficial if conducted along right lines.

ation and there are thousands of oth-
er. helpful corporations in the laud.

'IK'flllltSLi -" '-
' HUOh as Senator Bailey admits that he
Jias been serving and boasts that he
aided in getting back into the state to
rob the people of a profit of Too per
cent annually.
The Bulletin has not condemned
S'enator Bailey for practicing law. or
even' for "practicing Influence.'' as he
hiniself styled it but it does condemn
his-service either in law or in influ-
ence for such robber trusts as the
- - j-; xV . tie nn vrv n t
trust. Standard Oil. and it especially
condemns Senator Bailey for conceal-
ing and denying such service and con-
nection and the emoluments he re-
ceived for tihme until step by step ad-
missions were forced from him.
i
The Signal asks: "Did you ever
know one of these men tBryan and
Bailey) to fight the nominee of his
party?" The Bulletin is glad that
question was propounded. Yes. Didn't
Bryan support Weaver against tho
Democratic nominee for president.
Didn't Joe Bailey although the nomi-
nee of his party for congress go
about his district and declare ' he:
would not accept the office after Bry-
an was nominated for president. be-
cause he wouldn't be humiliated bv
being a member of congress with Bry-
an serving in the presidential Chair?
It took hard work on the part of Joe's
friends to cool him down and make
him stay in the race." Isn't the Signal
and every other Bailey paper in Texas
right now fighting as hard as they c?n
a democratic nice holder in TVxas
Attorney General Davidson simply bo-
cause in the discharge of his duties h"
saw proier to prosecute the Wat rs-
Pierce Oil Co. which involved brlnn-
ins out Bailey's connection with that
T trust? Isn't the Blanket Dfmnr r.ru
'club now fightiiW this Democratic ol-'
fiee holder w ho is certainly as much -f
tlie part as Ba'ft;? If these can find
fault'with The Bulletin and other fn-
pers and. charge them with Itein un-
democratic for opposing BaHeyisn
how can t1iv consistently suppou
Bryan and BaiJey. both of whom have
opposed party nominees with wlimi
rh&v cnuld not aenH. and how ' an
they consistently fight Davidson while
roniplaiuing that it is undemocratic to
attack a democratic elfice bolder '
. The Bulletin pauses for an ansvv r.
The truth is that with many people
thi? is the test of democracv; "The
man who agrees with you in every-
thing is a.good democrat Uie-man who
does not. is not a good democrat;"' ar-t
that is about the size of the line of
argument into which the Signal has
gotten Itself.
It is amusing to "have the Smn;1!
class Thomas Jefferson; Grove r Cleve
land. William Jennings Bryan and
Joseph Weldon Bailey . in the sam
category of great democrats of the
same mind in view of -the widely vary-
ing characters thoughts and. actiocs
of these men.
I NST ITl'T I ONA 1 CHI'RCH WORK.
Botlr the religious and the secular
press are having a great deal to say
lately about the apparent inability of
the churches to reach the people the
plain people the cominon people. The
church appears to be building about
itself an aristocracy that Is alarming
to. its own memlKrship. This condi
tion is neither desirable nor desired
but it conies of the tendency of tne
people to drift into classes built up by
the environment of each community.
The church is naturally refining" '
its influence and a.p peals more sttong-
ly to people of refined Instincts and
tastes than to those who instinctively
shun refinement. Therefore it is but
natural that there should be some

kind of a social separation in church
membership. The church however
would avoid this as far as possible.
It is true that it establishes missions
in the neighborhoods and among the
classes that the church of fashionable
membership cannot directly reach
but it is also true that the small mis-
sion church in the poor neighborhood
seldom attains the real dignity of a
churelr or removes the class barriers
between the poor ami obscure and the
the "well-to-do. The larger a place
grows the more noticeable is this class
distinction in-the churches and in the
country and small towns it is hardly
to be found at all. The churches that
have apparently -done most to over-
come this class dift'erence are those
that are most institutional for there is
something about these that appeals to
all classes. There is something about
