Ringling Brothers' Circus will invade Iowa City tomorrow and promises to be the mecca for thousands for one joyous day. The big show will come here from Davenport. It will be transported on four trains made up of 89 cars. Unloading will take plac-e in the yards of the Chicago Rock Island railroad.

Local railway officials a figured the first section to arrive at about 3 o'clock in the morning and be followed closely by the remaining three trains. As fast as the see- 1 lions reach town they will be unloaded and their cargoes of wonders moved to the show grounds. This season's circus is the largest ever traveled by the Ringlins Brothers.

Brant in Des Moines Register: A full length word portrait of Charles E. Hughes was painted for me yesterday by one of his intimate friends, a New York lawyer, associated with him both before he entered public life and during his career as governor. "You may publish anything except my name," he said. "I am a long way out of politics, and have same connections which make it undesirable that an interview which anyone might think partisan should follow me back to New York." His name is well known in Iowa, so this story at once lost over oO per cent of its value. Moreover, what he said was personal, not partisan, and those who know Hughes will appreciate the reason for this retiring disposition.

The surest way to become unpopular with Mr. Hughes is to eulogize him.

I told him what I wanted, and asked him if he was familiar with the matter.

The average stump speaker talks for a little while and, then begins to look for signs or restlessness. A political audience usually gathers to see a candidate, give him one good looking over and then starts to melt away. The candidate tries to hold his hearers by indulging in personalities, and succeeds if he makes them strong enough. "Hughes starts right in with his message, and he talks so interestingly, so forcefully and so directly that his audience keep getting larger throughout the evening. He never indulges in personalities.

slow He Wilted Barnes I attended a Gridiron club banquet in Albany, just after the second nomination of Governor Hughes. The governor and William Barnes were both present. had fought HugTies to the limit for a renc'niination, until! he saw it was hopeless, and aided in presenting Hughes' name to the convention. "That night Barnes made a speech which was pretty raw. He told how one of his helpers had come to him for instructions, and he had ordered him to work Hughes.

'I told him I was not fool-, ing, that he had to go out and do, some real work', said Barnes. 'After it was all over, he came slammed his hat down on the ta-' ble, and called out: "Well, I did as you ordered, boss, hut say, don't' you ever try to put over a thing like that again." "Hughes spoke later. I wish his speech had been recorded. He in-i dulged in no personalities, and did not refer to Barnes. But his ad- dress was the most withering description of the kind of politics Barnes had just been talking about that I have ever heard, and everyone knew Barnes' story had given him the cue for his address.

Barnes was absolutely wilted at the close of that meeting. Iceberg Yarn a Myth "Hughes is one of the most jovial-spirited men I ever knew. There is nothing to the story about hi coldness.

What Dividend Should a Telephone Company Pay? We believe that we should pay such a return on the money invested in our property as will enable us to obtain additional money necessary for making extensions and improvements required by the public.

If we do not earn enough to get this new money the public will suffer from the curtailment of extensions and improvements that should be made. We make additions to the plant out of new money invested and not out of profits from the service sold. There are many problems peculiar to the telephone business necessitating extra expenditures which we cannot control. There are occasional expenses caused by sleet storms, floods and tornadoes which amount to thousands of dollars. Then there may be increased taxes or possible exactions from governing bodies regarding methods of construction, operating requirements, which add to our expenses.

These costs always bear upon the problem of dividends. This company is and will be satisfied with a fair average return on the money actually invested in the busness. We have absolutely no "watered stock." A dollar has been invested in physical property for every dollar's worth of securities issued. All we ask or have a right to expect is such a return on the money invested in our property 33 could be obtained on the money if it were invested in other business enterprises involving like risks. In special cases in the extension of business where extraordinary risks are taken which entitle us to some extra profit in consideration of such risks, we shall only ask for that return on the investment which any equitable commission or court would award us.

considered him cold. But the myth that Hughes is an iceberg will not last long. Hughes has a hearty handclasp and a spontaneous smile. He is fond of stories and likes to make friends. "I have personal knowledge that Mr.

Hughes did not desire the republican nomination for president. Coming as it did, he could not refuse it. Hughes considers public office the highest responsibility. Hit appointments are made on the same basis. He asks ability and loyalty 'o the state.

Political Appointment "One of the men whom Hugheb appointed to a public position while governor told time ago that when he was offered the posi tion, the governor said it was hi: highest ambition, when he retired to leave strong men in office, and that he asked him to do what he Considered to be right. He tolcTme that all the time Hughes was chief executive, the governor never offered another suggestion regarding thp work of the department. "Mrs. Hughes is a fine type of woman. She is quiet, plain, sensibly just the i of a wife a man like Hughes needs.
