It's of little use for the local editor to waste his lungs and sprain his spine in trying to boom town when the cit izens all stand around with their hands in their pockets and indifferently wait for something to turn up. If the busi- ness men do not put their shoulders to the wheel and do little boosting it is useless for the editor to try and boom things. He can write "boom' articles till he gets bald headed, but if the citi- zens themselves do not take hold and push, the town will forever stick in the mud. Of what use is it for the local paper to suggest Improvements and new enterprises if the suggestions are never acted upon? One man cannot boom town. It requires the concerted action of the citizens. When one man shoulders q town and attempts to carry it, there are always lot of cranky kickers ready to jump on top of the load. Unity of action is what it re quires to accomplish anything for the good of the town.

Gov. J. s. Little has been removed from his home in Greenwood to pri- vate hospital where he will be treated for month or two. The name of the hospital is withheld from the public, in order that the governor may have perfect privacy there. His physicians announce that the governors general health is good and improving, but he is still very nervous.

It is estimated that the state com mon school fund to be apportioned to the public schools of the various coun- ties this year will reach a million dollars or about E. for each child in the state.

Say, do=you know the kind of fellow who's just to the worlds liking? The kind the world can't lose? The kind
 that folks enthuse over and take off their hats to? Why it's the man-who- does. He's the fellow. Not the fellow whose grandpa got there: not the fel- low who would if he could: not the gentleman who's going to some day: but the man-who-does, now, today No sitting around waiting, about him: no expecting something to happen; no looking for things to turn up. No, he calls the turn and turns em up; he takes off his coat and doesn't care if he starts a little a sweat; he keeps the procession humping to keep up with him; he is hustle from his feet up and from his head down: he is not only in the push, but he is part of the push, and the way he makes things come and business hum is caution: the way the world takes that fellow up and is good to him makes your heart glad: he's alright, he is: he greases the wheels of progress and keeps the world spinning round.

AN OPEN MEETING
Republican Conference to Be Held in
pes Moines Not Restricted to Any
Class or Faction-Many Aeceptances
Bejna Received.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines Aug. 17.-Replies to IN
yitations to the republican conference
to be held in Des Moines, Aug. 20, re-
cefyed at the republican state central
committees headquarters, indicate that
the meeting will be one of the largest
Informal gatherings of republicans
ever held in the state. Answers are be-
ing received from all parts of the state,
from candidates for office, newspaper
men and county chairmen.
Many requests for tickets are also
being received. in the mail from prom
inent republicans, not candidates,
newspaper men, or county chairmen
The Invitations were sent to only the
classes enumerated, altho a genera
invitation has been extended by Chair
man FRANKIE to all others who have
the interests of the party at heart to
attend the meeting. These will be pro-
vided with tickets upon application al
headquarters.
The lists Of the newspaper men In
vited were made UP from the lists OF
those who have replied to the letters
being sent out by the press bureau and
those whom the various county chair
men have certified to the bureau as re-
publican papers. Additional lists OF
newspapers from various counties are
being received at the headquarters and
invitations will be sent to these editors
as their names are received.
No attempt has been made by Chair
man FRANKIE to make any classification
whereby those maintaining any set OF
ideas as to party politics shall be in
predominance. The invitations have
been sent to candidates on the state
and congressional tickets, and county
chairmen only. The many other promi-
nent republicans of Iowa who desire
to attend will be provided with tickets
at headquarters and will be welcomed
to the convention, but the preference
! will be given to those named in the
general call
