No Or" in Newspapers.

Representatives of all save two
of the newspapers published in
Madison County, Illinois, have
voted unanimously to omit the
title DIR" from the names of
physicians appearing in their
news and editorial columns, as a
slap at the physicians professed
desired not to be advertised"
William Il. Crossman of Edwads.
vile, president of the Madison
County Press Club, said yester.
day.
This policy, which has been in
in force for the last six months
by Alton newspapers, was adopt
ed in a resolution passed at "a
meeting of the club in Granite
City Saturday night, Crossman
said:
DR.. E. w. Fiegenbaum, secre.
t;iry of the Madison County Med
ical Society, is member of the
Press Club, but did not attend
the meeting and was surprised
last night. when a reporter for
The Republic told him of the res
olution.
He said the relations between
the physicians and newspapers
had been harmonious heretofore
in all parts of Madison County,
but lie knew of friction atAlton
because the physicians there had
taken concerted action against
buying space for their business
cards in the various publications.
The Madison County Medical
Society, he declared, has not de
cried as "unethical" the pubIica-
ton of physicians business cards
but there has been a gradual
falling off in the practice in the
recent years.
Crossman said no physician
had advertised his profession in

In the recent November election the
leaders of the two great parties in the
nation recognized the value Of news
paper advertising by giving to many
newspapers of the country regular
paid advertising matter in the interest
Of their respective candidates. In
many of the states the same was done,
and in city elections for years 1t has
been q custom for contepding candi-
dates to give mnch paid advertising in
their campaigns. II Is . question Of
but a short term when every political
aspirsnt will recognize the press of the
country, whether city, country or ma
ton, as the means Of getting bis claims
before the public whose support he
seeks. This is political advertising and
well see more Of il in the years to
come, for IL is the common sense way
of getting publicity.

The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1916-12-22

The year is gone and the Thousand
dollars said to be at Nashville to tht
credit of this county for public road
work has not been spent and no steps
have been taken to that end, owing to
the unreasonable terms the state high
way department has made TO the chair
man of the comfy court. A number
of citizens took the matter up and made
investigation but found the terms madt
by the highway department out of rea
son and so dropped the matter.
