Special to Times Republican.
Des Aloines, Feb. ls--while the edi-
I tors of northern Iowa are holding a con-
lvention at Forest City and those of
southwestern Iowa are consulting to-
lsether at Mount Ayr and organizing an
association of their own, a number Of
newspaper men of central Iowa have
been seriously considering the adysa-
hility of making an attempt at the re-
yival of the Iowa Editorial Association
and the holding of a general meeting
preparatory To an excursion this year..
This association seems never To have
lprospered as Well as some OF the others

Fart OF the state have not taken as act
i've an interest in the associations as
those of some sections of the state but
lthis year with SO much politics and so
much TO call them together it is re-
garded as probable that good meeting
Icould be arranged at some central point,

Des Moines recently. 1t is regarded also
as highly probable that an effort Will
be made to have an excursion to But
lfalo early in the summer to attend the
| Pan-Anerican Exposition With an
Iowa man as general director of that
exposition and an Iowa man in charge
lof the transportation business ii seems
probable that Iowa editors could arr
range a fine trip to Buffalo for an early
date. If they would go in May or June
! they would receive a royal welcome
from the Buffalonians. Some steps in
that direction may be taken soon.
