The Marshalltown Republic
an evidently does not place any dis

n fell swoop by the Times-Repub-
lican! Now, it is readily seen that the
T.-R. man does not see the point or
he would be with Korns. At least past
events would lead one to believe that
the T.-R. is with the people" and it
will not take the T.-R. long to find out
that the people" are the fraternal
men of Iowa-voters who believe in
and favor a square deal for every other
person, no matter whether he runs an
''old line" insurance company, a rail-
road or any other corporation. On
the other hand, they want a square
deal for MISUNDERSTANDING they
have not been getting from the hired

The fraternal life insurance men of
the state, as we'll as the mutual fire
insurance supporters, are not in the
business for the money they make out
of these societies directly. but they are
in it because it saves them money on

Marshalltown paper believe that the
statement by Mr.. Korns is worthy of
consideration? If the people of Iowa
can save thousands OF dollars on life

manne by some $40 a month clerk in

DOCTORS AND NEWSPAPERS
lSioux City Journal.)
A Nebraska medical society, repre-
senting Dixon and Dakota counties, at
a recent meeting at Emerson. adopt
ed a modest resolution requesting the
not to mention the names
Of members of the society in n
ton with cases in which the members
may be employed. Some of the news
papers are disposed to anger because
of this action on the part of the doc
tors. They do not exactly say they
feel insulted, but they make it plain
that they feel hurt. The resolution
conveys to them an intimation that
the doctors are like well-dressed WON
en- who life their skirts daintily to
pass oyer a nasty place in the street.
The newspapers are mortified, FOR
they have the habit of holding up
their heads with the best society. 1t
is possible these wounded newspapers
take the wrong view of the matter.
Let it be noticed that the doctors
go no farther han to request the
omission Of their names in connection
with the cases in which they are pro-
%fessionally employed. Unde other
circumstances, there is warrant for the
Inference, they do not object to seeing
their names in the newspapers. IL

thew take offense if it is stated that
they will return on a given day. They
do not object to this. They make no
protest against being named. in con-
nection with their title, in association

activities of the community. Ii 1T snail

ciety. The point is that the op1ectloh
is not to the newspapers per Sc.
All the doctors ask is that their
names be not published in connection
with their profe ssional cases. me
doctors can hardly be blamed be-
cause of their desire to protect their
regulations from unpleasant gossip,
and their request, in the case under
consideration, it must be agreed,

their names are not again TO be
printed under any circumstances. The
doctors did not go as far as that.
They only requested that their names
be not printed in connection with the
cases in which they may be profess
sionally employed.
1t is well to be reasonable about
all these things. 1t is imprudent to
