The Clergy Makes Reply.

Norfolk. Ncb. Jan 20. - Editor
News: While the charging Of the full
price TO ministers for medical services
may work hardship to some who
have received favors, ! think that the
change will be better in the end.
Many people overestimate the amount
of special favors received by the Cler-
gy. Some still think that we ride for
half fare 1t may be that subscrip.
lions to the church have been affected,
and that they will be larger when II
Is understood that there are no favors.
think, however, that the eXplana-
tion of the action of the doctors in
the resolution adopted is unworthy of
the good judgment of the medical pro
fessiOn.
To regard that a minister Is well
paid who receives as much as the av-
crage school teacher or bank clerk is
to disregard all the facts of relative
preparation or demands.
Probably no physician in the city
has spent more time in general or tech
meal preparation for his profession
than has the average clergyman.
No profession makes higher de-
mands or requires heavier continued
application or higher efficiency.
1t is safe to say that had the average
clergyman given the same time and
ability to medicine he would be re-
ceiving fully twice what he now re-
ceives. Bank clerks are underpaid,
the recompense for educational work
is VIGOROUSLY inadequate, but the av-
erage salary of clergymen is positive
disgrace to civilization.
The explanation of the secretary,
DR.. Mackay, that ministers recommend
patent medicines and bad whisky can
not be allowed to pass without an an
swer. There are quacks in all profess
sions, and advertisers are quick to use
every testimonial, genuine or bogus,
from Rev" because of the clergy
mans influence, yet even so, two IN.
Us" can be found in such testimonials
to every I'D. d." Neither profession as
such is responsible or to be blamed for
the curse of INSCRIPTIONS advertising
of nostrums.

They are doing this for the most
unworthy of political motives, namely
personal ambition. They want to dis.

FOR EASY DIVORCE.
Throw off all Restrictions is the Ad
vice of Professor BIackmar.

vice of Professor BIackmar.
Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 22.-DivorCe
is natural. Divorce is a good thing.
When man and woman cannot live to-
gether in peace or with willingness
it is time they were parted. But the
rapid growth of divorce indicates evils
which are not apparent on the surface,
and it is at these evils that the laws
of the country should strike and not
at divorce itself as an institution"
This is the statement of Prof. F.
w. Blackmar of the sociology depart
ment of the University of Kansas in
lecture to the classes in sociology.
Professor Blackmar would put Sc
we're restrictions on marriage. He
would compel persons contemplating
marriage to first pass a physical eX.
animation and then he would have
them announce their engagement a
few months ahead and a legal notice
of their intention to marry published
in the papers. In this way, he believes
hasty marriages could be avoided, and
those who marry would be more apt
to do it deliberately.
After he had made it as hard as
possible to get married Professor
Blackmar would then make it as easy
as possible to get a divorce. In speak
ing of this he said;
Il do not believe a man and woman
should continue to live together after
they wish to sever the bonds, but that
statement must have some qualifica-
tions. The man has assumed some re-
sponsibilities when he takes a wife
which the law should not allow him to

from Bonnie Terre in the evening,
after they had crossed Big River
bridge and were climbing the steep

dead. The Doctor got out to crank
up the engine, and when 1t again
started, Mrs. Barber, who was driv-
ing the machine, somehow lost CON
troll and it began to back down the
hill. All of DR.. Barber's efforts to
stop the machine were futile and
the result was that It finally plunged
down under the bridge and was ov-
turned with the occupants under
meath Fortunately some ubstruc-
ton held the machine in such a po-
sition as not to crush them and SO
they could get out. Happily none
of them were hurt.

suffered greatly from operations
conducted through the nasal open

he will go to the southwest and try

this does not bring relief he will
