changes the articles employed from
palm TO back of hand. and from one
hand to another is marvellous and be-
wldering. The apparent ease With
which he does it adds to the wonder OF
the looker-on. His handling of the
cards is only in second place with that
of the less bulky coins. and he has
number of very clever tricks of palm

in fact than that oily individual, be-
cause he goes after bigger game. While
Marshall county seems to be a cool
field for gIafters, ii is also becoming
field in which the guilty come to
grief
As a general rule damage cases
against reputable physicians and sur
geons for malpractice will fail to ma
terialize evidence whenever they ap-
pear in court and the action of Judge
Burnfam this week will be approved
by the public generally. The profession
OF surgery is a life saving business.
II would be calamity if the surgeons
should quit operating and 1t follows
that if a surgeon or physician Is known
to he practicing his profession with
success. in Il majority of cases. he
should not be mulcted for damages,
even tho an operation should fail or a
patient be dissatisfied. He does not
guarantee success and should not be
held for anything except Incompetence
or criminal neglect. Anything else
sumo risks far in excess of the prem
iums to be derived from his business
and the public welfare would not be
favored by a raise in doctors rates 10
insure such risks. However, the pro-
visions Of the law are very necessary
for the protection of the public from
the criminal incompetence of the quack.
hence it remains largely with the good
Judgement of the court to see that JUS
tice is done, duty that Judge Burn
ham seems to have discharged with
ability.
The public has the same interest in
protecting the freedom of the sur
geons profession, as the freedom of the
press. !. has been pointed out in THESE
columns that the newspaper performs
a public duty in conveying to its read
ers information about crooked chara@-
ters that are dangerous to the peace,
safety. Or property of the community
The average newspaper devotes great
energy. much time and money TO gath-
ering accurate information regarding
evil doors and when it turns on the
lime light of publicity it does so mt
great risk. for. ii mistake has been
made and the publication Is libelous
in itself the law presumes malice AMI
the publisher Is liable for damages.
Yet. If the newspapers shirked their
duty in order to avoid risks there
would be twice, yes. three times the
devilment rife In the community. Pock-
cts would be picked. contidng people
swindled. children led astray. Invest
ments swept away or stolen. homes
corrupted and households robbed by
criminals whose evil character had not
been exposed to public view. The loss
to the public would be the same as
tho the surgeons should quit operating
to save life for fear of risk. and the
T.-R. takes pleasure in calling pubic
attention to the fact that the judge re-
sponsible for the proper recognition
of an honest newspapers public mis-
sion, also had the good sense to throw
out of court case against practicing
surgeon which not only failed to show
criminal neglect, but actually disclos-
ed the life saving mission of modern
surgery

in the future. The extension win do

ance. which is in effect today.

No, the interurhan Is not dead, and
by spring the work of building will be
begun, providing unforeseen difficulties
do not arise. Money. in the hands of
eastern capitalists is now in sight, and
the permanent headquarters of the new
general manager are to be located in
this city Marshalltown is a logical in
terurban center, and the building of
two or three lines out OF this city will
give the town a boom such as 1t has
not had for several years. The country

than those In the city, that the inter-
urban was after all, a myth Will re-
ioice In the news OF the beginning of
active preparations in the way of Sc
curing right-of-way and franchises.
1t is not likely that the efforts OF
the city in securing from the county
refunding of the mill tax levied with
in the city for road purposes. will come
to much. The county claims that If
the books are balanced. and the money
shown to have been expended out of
the road fund on streets in this city
and tributary thereto. taken into con-
sideration the city will be indebted to
the county instead of vice versa. While
there is no written contract between
the city and county on how the money
is to be expended. verbal understands
ing was had between the supervisors
and the city council several years aga,
