Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1905-05-24
TWO POINTS OF VIEW.

tEldora Herald.1
The Edora Herald complains that
the Marshall Times Republican dis
eliminates against it in not clipping
from it's columns, and thinks that this
is strange in view of the business that
The Herald has helped the T.-R. to.
Brother Smith has been in the bust
ness long enough so that he ought to
know that newspapers, either daily or
weekly. copy only items that accord
with their own ideas. A man who
runs newspaper generally uses it to
promulgate his own opinions, not
those of other people, and IL Smith
wants to secure mention Of his paper
in the T.-R.. let him Just say some
thing highly complimentary of that
sheet or of Governor Cummins, ana
he will see it reproduced all right. -
Hampton Recorder. The above no
doubt is the correct explanation. We
knew it all the time, but did not care
to refer to it. But we were not COM
paining.
Manson Democrat
The Eldora Herald complains bit
terly because the Marshalltown
Times Republican does not quote it.
What pity! But has the Eldora ed
itor ever considered that, perhaps. he
never writes anything worth quoting
1t is the silliest. most childish plaint
ever uttered by an Iowa neWspa per.
Come to think of 1t, the London
Times does not quote this newspaper
and we must register a kick.
ADVERTISING is NEEDED.
[Des Moines Capital
Minnesota is spending money in ad-
verstising Minnesota and her lands.
The Dakotas and Canada are doing the
same, and the men of Iowa are. fol-
lowing the advertising. The decrease
of rural population in Iowa is a tt.sti-
monial to the efficiency and power OF
we'll directed advertising done by the
countries we have named In this day
and age people are reading advertise
ments more than at any former period
and advertising is more skillfully done
than at any other time. Iowa is fall
ing a martyr to the enterprise and ad-
vertising of other states and terrltor-
les. Iowa has been like business
man who asserts that his business is
established" and that nobody can
take it away from his by advertising.
He lights his pipe and defies the world.
In comparatively short time he dis
covers that a business cannot be es-
tablished sufficiently to dispense with
advertising The people of the states
of Iowa are making the same discov-
cry. Certain towns and cities Of the
state has increased their population,
simply because they have advertised
an dkept "everlastingly at it."
The people of Iowa should learn an
important lesson and proceed In some
systematic way to boom the state,
boom its agriculture. Iowa has two
great rprises-agriculture and ed
ucation. 1t is practically waste of
time to change the bent Of things in
these respects. Besides. in agriculture
pre- emtnence is possible IN Iowa. In
manufacturing it is not possible.
Therefore, let us seek the one pre- emf
nence that is within our reach.
TRUE EFFICIENCY.
[Sioux City Tribune.1
In these days when things are doing,
sometimes on large scale it is well
now and then for our young people to
reflect as to the quality of those who
are leaders in the worlds thought and
work and how they came to their pres
ent positions. In comparatively rare
instances did they come to them by
chance. And If heredity placed them
there it has often transpired that they
did not keep their positions very long,
asneoial1v If efficiency were lacking
