banking. Officers give personal
attention to all details. Directors
meet regularly and frequently, and
keep closely in touch with the
current business. Every safe
guard known to safe and successful
banking is availed of, and our past
success is the best criterion by

future.

The Survival of the Fittest.
The San Angelo News takes is
sue with the Bulletin on a state
ment which appeared in this paper
when the Evening News suspend
ed that it proved the futility of
attempting to establish"" a paper in a
field already thoroughly and satis
factorily covered." There may pos
sibly be exe ptious to the rule, but
tae general rule stands good. If
the field is satisfactory and thor
oughly covered it is very difficult
for a new pape to make aav great
inroads upon the one that is well
established. In the case pictured
by the News where the publisher
is content to let well enough alone
and take life as he finds it, the pa
per coula hardly-be a satisfactory
publication .to a piogressive clien-t-ge.
There is not a paper in Tex
as that is giving even a fairlv satis
factoiy service, that is well manag
ed in the business and editbria
rooms, th it coufu be put out of
business with five times the capital
that is invested' in the established
paper Bu- in onlv tht
larger, towns in Texas is tnere
room for two or more papers and
to succeed taese mu t be divided
bsiwre the morning and the even
ing field. Towns of ten to fifteen
thousand seldom support two pa
pers for any great length of time,
though whi e places are on a boom
two daily papers often survive for
a time, even in towns of only a few
thousand people. But with the end
of the boom almost invariably
comes the end of cue and often of
both papers in such small towns.
It was apparent to any thoughtful
and experienced newspaper man
that two papers could not well exis
in the daily field in Brownwood for
any great time without a loss pf
much money. Speaking on this
sam,e subject the Houston Post
says: " "ne Brown wood Evening
News, after a career of less than
three months, has susot.nded pub
lication. Two dailies for a town no
larger than Brownwood is a risk
any where. The Bulletin is a most
excellent'paper. is well established
and fully ccvers the field." In its
editorial the Bulletin did not tove
in mind the situation at San An
gelo, nor was it intimating results
in that town, where the' conditions
may be unusual- This paper cer
tainly wishes success i- a most
eminent degree to both papers of
that enterprising city. Brown
