RECORD RAILWAY BUSINESS FOR
AUGUST.

The monthly summary OF the reye-
nues and expenses of the railroads
made by the Bureau of Railway Eco
Monies from the reports filed by the
railways with the interstate com
merce commission shows that net
earnings for August of this year were
larger than for any preceding August
and larger than for any preceding
month with the exception of October
1909.
The net operating revenue for the
22o,405 miles of line included In thfs
summary, amounted to SOC, 402. s72.
which is greater by s10,927, 0o9 than
the net operating revenue for August,
1911. This is an average of s437.3s
per mile of line for the month. which
is greater by s43S3 than the average
per mile of line for the month of An.
gust 1911. This net operating reye-
nue. for each mile of line for each
day In August 1912 averaged Sail.
and for August 1911 s12.70.

SUPREME JUDGES.

Ordinarily, aside from keeping up
the party organization, 1t makes little
difference who is elected to the sew
eral state and county offices; but in
selecting two judges of the supreme
court next Tuesday to serve six years
each, IL Is of the utmost importance
to every resident of Iowa that the
best and most experienced candi-
dates be chosen. The regular repub-
lican candidates have had long expert
ence on the trail bench. Gaynor hay-
ing served as district Judge twenty
two years and Preston ten years;
while none of the other candidates
for these positions have ever had
judicial experience. The judges of
the supreme court review and pass up
on the trials and decisions of the dis
trict judges; and if they have been
district judges before being selected
to the supreme bench, they will be
better able to correctly oversee the
work OF the district judges. There
fore the regular republican candi-
dates, having been district judges for
SO long, will make better supreme
judges.
The personnel and standing or the
supreme court of Iowa, is SO import
ant, that no voter, for factional or
partisan reasons, should fail to vote
for Frank R. Gaynor and Bryan w.
Preston as supreme judges. They are
judges of the highest character and
standing in the trial courts; and
their records merit promotion to the
higher courts.

A FINE FALL DAY.


It's fine to have fortune and it's nne
to cling to youth;
IFS fine to know you never can be in
jured By the truth;
It's fine to be leader in cause that
is sublime;
It's splendid to be famous while you
still are in your prime;
It's fine to be progressing IN decent,
honest way,
But what is there that's finer than
fine fall day?
It's good to have a wife who is beau
tiful and young
One who has an even temper and can
sweetly hold her tongue;
One who never sits complaining when
your friends and neighbors
thrive,
While for wages that are meager you
are still compelled to strive;
1t is good to hear her singing as the
hopeful only may.
But what is there that's better than
a fine fall day?
It's great to have talent given only
to the few,
It's great to hear men cheering when
their cheers are all for you;
It's great to earn the envy of the peo-
pie whom you know;
It's splendid to be worthy and to hear
men tell you so:
It's great to turn to duty when you
have the wish to play.
But what is more delightful than a
fine fall day?
It's fine to see the beauty Of the Grim
son autumn leaves;
It's fine to hear the cooling OF the pig
cons on the caves;
It's fine to see the purple of the grapes
upon the vine;
It's fine to view the glory spread be
fore your eyes and mine:
It's fine to WELD the brassey, letting
trouble float away;
1t is even fine to labor on a fine fall
day
