HELP THE HOME FELLOWS.

Here is some good, hard sense
from the Keokuk Gate City, which ap,
plies to Oskaloosa as emphatically
as ii can to Keokuk:
1T is interesting to the newspaper
man. as he reads his exchanges, to
see how sharp the competition is for
new manufacturing industries. Cities
from far and near tumble over each
other with special inducements, tho
moment they hear that any concern
contemplates move.
Our town should be active in this
game, difficult as 1t is. Meanwhile the
fact is worth attention, that many a
town while campaigning earnestly
for distant concerns. is neglecting
chances that originate a thome.
There are young men in this place
as there are everywhere, who would
be perfectly competant to manage a
business proposition if they had cap
ital. They would like to start a new
industry here. Meanwhile money is
being sent away. because our people
don't know of hopeful chances to in.
vest at home.
THE concern from a distance that
may be attracted by special induce
ments. may or may not stay when
the inducements expire. The con-
Germ backed by home enterprise and
capital is rooted in home soil
ITO many people, the distant in.
vestment look more attractive. But
it might not seem so, If examined on
the spot. Money invested at home is
under close inspection, which should
prevent losses. Wherefore, when our
young men want little capital to
start new enterprise. their claims
should have the most careful consid
