Five years ago a crude, green country boy from Palls County entered tile-Uni­versity. There wasn't much about !ijm •that would causo comment except his greenness anJ the fact that he gripped your hand like a man and looked ^ou straight in _the eye when he shook hands ^Tbat.is the record of the man who lias announced as a candidate Tfor the l.egis­lature^apd that is fhelkind-of mart the Legislature needs. He is alive,'wide­awake, and simply full of epergy. As a speaker , he shines in argument ratlier than ill oratory, although he is nb pigmy in the latter; and as an extempore speaker, he is-the .readiest and happiest in college. His knowledge of .parliament­ary law is simply wonderful and far su­perior-io^hat—of—any other man in school. Iii University politics he has always been upright and straight as an arrow.. Ho has always fought hard for what he believed to be right, regardless Ht~anything else; Jim' Hackett is jp$e of those fellows with whom honofTS religion,, and he resolutely-keeps her laws, uncaring isonsequences. . But the best thing about Jim Hackett is his simplicity^ If there ever wa$ a fellow who is "of the people, and for the. people," the-answer is, Jim-Hackett. There is a story told on him that illus­trates the man exactly. When school turned out J.wo-years ago Jim left Aus­tin and reached his home at 10 o'fclock one ni^it. Th^ next jiiorningr^brighT _ Jutb-youy-whieli shewed plainlythgt~lwr -and oarlyt JHn-yas-uj) and-out—follow ,! wasn't afraid bf anything or anybody on earth; He_ entered the University af­ • ter Christmas, and after his class had already done one term's \vork—and yet .-lie made, up all that back work" and graduated with his class and stilt hail one-half year'swork more than the other members of his class to his credit. -Thjt bpy was James' E. Hackott, Mho - annotmcvd • as ^ candidate for the Legr islature the other day; and tlie general sentiment of the student body swms to be that Jim is going to be elect«*H pgr next July. Yon see, Jim Hackett has been here with us for Ave years and in that time, by his indomitable energy dttd his "never-givc-upriveness" he has im­pressed the student .body with the fact if* ^ that he qtn do'most anything he wants to. He was never known to cry "calf ^ rope.'.' When onco ho sets his head to do anything, he goes right ahead with It to the very end. He may not always win, but he wHl die fighting in the last ditch. And that's why we thjpk that ;•: he will win in his coming race for the Legislature. | When Jim Hapkett entered, the Uni­versity of Texas on Jan. 1, 1900, he-was i-7, about as green and ungofehisticated mall that he would have to. keep that microscope focused on him" all the time in'order to see the little fellow. For all big people like Jim Hackett; it's only the little fel­lows thatdon't. Jim Hackett graduated from the Mar­lin High 'School in 1897 at the ffg" "F '16T Ife js'^^^fM^est^^raduatg the liafiin Jligh Sihool has . ever had. :.Ji] He did-not Some to the University ijtn­ r iiia graduation at this i schooV-but went to work on the farm, j where he remained .for two years. Shortly after he ' entered the Univer­sity he joined the Rusk Literary Society. His first appearance before the members -/of this society was an absolute failure. , Did be give up then? Not much. He .went to work with redoubled energy. • He determined to (redeem himself.and. wipe out. that failjuie. This spirit, ia . characteristic of him throughout. He never gives up. What was the result! . He becaiiie one of ilie^best. speakers in ?>".*• college. He, was elected to the position -41 v • of vice-president and!; tiien president of ; . the Rusk Literary Isdciety. He repre­ . .sented, the..Rusk S$<|iety in the in€er» society debate and i ris chosen to repre­sent tlw; University if: Texas as alter­nate, in tbo debate with Colorado two years agjo. Next• ha became president of the Oratorical Association,'' then vice Asspci president and president of this Students' . Association—the highest honor witltm the gift of the Btudent body. He gradu­, ated in'the spring of 1003 and was unnn­. imonsly elected by the Senior Class to preside on Class Day daring Commence­ment when so many visitors from all wit-the State arq Ijere^-an honor that r y1 [i ­ ing the plow. It went a little hard at first. Big blisters began to form in his hand,-but he kept on all. day, and his, row was straight, too. Everything that Jim does is straight; And when 'the sun went down that day Jim was still fol­lowing that plow, tired,-sore and hun­gry—but determined to go through to the end.-And that's Jim—a follow who never qiiitC; a fellow who never cries "calf rope"j--a iniin "of the people-and for the people." Here's luck to you, Jim. hops .you'll win, for you deserve to and the Legislature peeds a toan like you., """ . . 5 CLASS GAMES. More Candidates Needed. Class and college Bpirit should bring out .a host of candidates for the Inter-­class, the State and Southern Intercol­legiate track meets. With the exception of the "T" men (who will not be al­lowed to cofnpeto in the class meet) only a few-candidates are out. -In view ot the advantages .offered tliis .year, this' state of affairs is discouraging. Every day^ we kce a lot of healthy looking doned-for taking exceptions to one or two things. And especially, we wish to consider' what has been said about the Magazine. Now, the author of that "Review of Reviews" failed to _appre-~ ciate' one-of the finest bits of h,iimor and sarcasm that has appeared in ahy university publication for many a day, when she scored the' critic for saying ihat 'Water Boy, the Winder," was a typical college'story. Why, what ^he' "critic meant was•. thaisthe typicaFcol­lege story is no good at all." Now, we are very sorry ithat we have offended some people by publishing some<*unfa­vorable criticisms of the Magazine. But we can't help .that. If the Magazine •'doesn't contain good stuff, do you want us to say it is.good anyway? .Well, it doesn't matter. what you want; we are not going to do so. If the Magazine is' good, we'll say so; if it is bad, we'll say so—and there an end,.­ We-hope to be able to turn the paper over to the co-cds again_soon, an graph of thirty pages.
