According to two business men

one called W. T. Wingo a million-
aire, seeing him reared back and

What do You Say, People
Of Denison?
If Denison could, by some slight ef-
fort, reach out and bring in a plant or in-
dustry with something like even ten per-
sons given employment regularly, and
which industry was manned by people who
invested every cent they had in the city and
all the workers were Denison folk and de-
pended on their local earnings for a liveli-
hood, there is no doubt but that a local
group would be formed at once to take up
bhe matter with the prospective concern
and land them if they could.
But, on the other hand, are those
same parties who are ready to do this
more dramatic t(hing of having a full-
fledged working concern come here with
fifteen thousand dollars to invest in such
a plant, Wady to give a liftihg iiand to
some local concern which has, in the past
few years started with nothing and work-
ed up to the point where they ,have a plant
worth around tyie $15,000 mark and giving
employment to something like twenty per
sons, and all of the money they receive be-
ing spent rig)ht here in Denison and
invested in Denison property?
We have several local industries and
business places started by local boys and
some of them hoping they shall receive
some oftjhe partonage of those who say
they are for building Denison. They do not
ask for everything but they want some of
the business that every citizen could give
occasionally.
In ofjher words,, it does not do the
town any good to spend its time waiting for
the chance when they can bring a full
grown industry here when We could be giv-
ing encouragement to those we have here
now. Successful industries generally
don't leave one *place to go to another.
If we have local industries and busi-
ness houses we must build them ourselves.
To illustrate what we mean by over-
sight on the part of many who do not lend
a helping hand to local concerns: The
Press started out fifteen years ago with
an investment of $200 as a small printing ,ike ^ Wlth m3 ,nion.f‘v.
plant with the idea of giving Denison a f;pn]jn(. p ,n others and whim(
worked to ljiake the grade and did
so.....A boy drops in to ask for
a job selling advertising. He runs
some kind of a machine in a shirt
manufacturing company which re-
quires no great amount of skill or
mental excitement. If he wants to
sell advertising bad enough and
likes the selling business he can
-succeed, otherwise he will con-
tinue to press shirts.

but said if a fello-w had a good
job or a fair income and good
health, he was already a million-

not Imow it. Then Judge John T.

home town daily. The daily was started
seven years back Today we have a plant
wortjh easily $15,000 and printing- one of
most quoted small dailies in the state.
Yet the other day when we asked a
good Denisonian to subscribe for tjhe paper
they replied they were taking a paper al-
ready and could not afford the 35 cents a
month The same party is taking two out
of town papers also. There are hundreds
just like him here, and yet every one of
them would give $10 to $100 any day to
have a plant working fifteeft to twenty per
sons and rentihg property here and invest-
ing $15,000 in Denison.
And here’s what the Press can do. If
we fan find 600 persons who will invest $1
each for the paper for a tfitee month’s sub-
scription we can add to our equipment
property worth $1200 and give them an
eight page paper every day for 35 cents
the month aRd in addition give ten more
persons employment.
What do you say, Denison people?
WHAT
OTHER EDS
ARE THINKING
DISCOUNTING If
After waiting for more than
twenty-four hours, the German
press finally has analyzed the
message of President Roosevelt to
Congress. All of the editorials in
ij the German newspapers
| similar nature—that
I when a dictator controls
press.
The Roosevelt talk is being dis-
counted, of course. The gist of
the editorial comment i3 that the
United States has waited to lonr
“Britain’s fate is sealed,” the edi-
tors say.
That was what the German edi-
tors said in 1917, too, when the
United Stated entered the World
C)trs ^ar- But less than eighteen
lg P thJ months later the Germans were
surrendering abjectly, largely be-
cause this country had in that
length of time been able to mo-
bilize a force of four million men
and move more than two million
of them into France for battle
purposes.
This time the United States
seems to be profiting by the les-
sons of 1917. It will have a great

You’re Right, That?* Right
“1 want to congratulate you on
that article you had about those
fellows who say they are not in
(politics as if it were a subject not
to be mentioned in the ranks of
men who because they happen to
be in business or for some other
fancied reason. I have been say-
ing that for several years—that
n man who is not interested in
politics and who does not take j
an active interest in seeing that
the office is filled with the right
man, has no just ground to corn-)
plain when things do not go right |
after the election.” That’s about |
the trend of what Judge John T.
Suggs said this week on reading
the article recently in this column
defining politics as the science of
government or better government
and being in politics as taking
active part in trying to get ti e
right man in office. It was agreed
that the man who lived under a
democracy is therefore supposed
to take part in politics, and the
man not doing so might as we’I
live under a dictatorship where
they are not permitted to act for
themselves.
Aleng the New* Bent
A party walked into a local
place the other day and asked for
t a job. He stated he did not know
anything about the business but
remarked that “All pap’s boys are
mighty peart to learn.” Now that
can work both ways. A fellow
might have enough of the old de-
; termination and native ability in
him to make good and one might
be passing up an opportunity by
r.ot taking him on. So many time;
we are looking for men with ex-J
perien.ee. They have to have aj
certain amount of that in trades j
to be of any worth to the boss oi j
course, but a fellow with a de-
termination to stick and learn and
work until he makes himself of
worth to the boss—well, those
kind are rare, but are worth tak-
ing on. One head of a local large
concern here the other day when
asked if he knew of some good
young man who wanted work and
could learn a certain business
which involved more or less reles
ability made the reply that "the
best fellow you can get is one who
has moved in from the country
and taken a bath.” He used the
words in an illustrative kind of
way of course. But if you scratch
down under the surface of most
of the successful sales boys of to-
day you’ll find that’s the case. . .
We know a certain Denison boy
now located as city salesman with
some outside territory in Okla-
homa. He is receiving one pre-
motion after the other and has his
eyes on the top place. But he
started in from the country east
of Denison. He went to school
here. Later got a job that required
more muscle than brains, but got
the idea he wanted to be a sales-
man and he kept at it until he got
a job at selling. He has received
about four promotions since he
started hut he was the kind who
did not let a little matter like
having to pawn a watch to get by
with the groceries bother him He
