A Unique Governor.
Charles E. Hughes lias been govern
or of New York for almost a year-
quite long enough to allow his measure
to be taken. Yet It Is a difficult mat
ter to classify the man at Albany. Aft-
er looking nt this human specimen
from all sides nnd In all lights the con
elusion Is reached that he does not be
long In any classification hitherto ac
cepted. hut Is n whole new class by
himself.
As n public administrator
Governor Hughes Is unique.
People are asking. "W hat about this
man Hughes?” with thoughts on presl
dentlal possibilities, but It Is declared
hy close friends of the governor him
self and Indeed by Intimate observers
who oppose him politically that the
subject of this curiosity Is not think
ing at all alwut what mny happen to
hlui or who Hughes may be next year
or ten years hence. Hughes, they say.
j* »Imply attending to his Job as gov-
eruor of New \ork.
It may l>e said that Mr Hughes' In
terprotntlon o f the duties of a state
executive Is the one thing that dlffer-
entlates him from the general run of
governors the country over. How In«
i terprots his duties Is best explained
r citing incidents In hU " ’1 lui career
•tefore Mr. Huche-* ven t to VI'.im
the working desk o f the governor was
Sn a small room adjoining the fine
arge cham ber which Is known as the
xeoutlve office. Former governors pro
fe r m l the small room so that they
could keep away from the crowd which
frequently fills the large room; also. It
muat lie said, some o f them preferred
the little office so that they could talk
In prlvnte with politicians. Governor
Hughes used the little room for a few
daya. Then he marched out Into the
big room and took his seat at the ex
pansive flat desk which had been
merely ornamental, and he works there
every day.
8hortly after this more a certain In
dividual entered the big chamber and
t
put his 7ace close to the governor’s,
saying softly:
”1 want to see you alone, governor.”
“ I am alone,” replied the governor In
his everyday voice.
“ But this Is a private matter, gov
ernor. and” —
“ Is It official business?”
“ Yes, but” —
“ Good day,” said Governor Hughes.
Thnt pollllclnn thus made the star
tling discovery thnt New York has a
governor to whom no official buslnesa
Is private.
It used to lie mighty hard for a hum-
I ble citizen to get access to the little
room and the governor’s ear. Now
anybody not palpnbly n ernnk or t
lunatic cun enter the big room and
state Ills case to the governor, who
llBtetis ns attentively to a cab driver
ns he listens to the president of r
railroad.
Some months ago a man
Just released from state prison called
upon Governor Ilughos In the big
room, announcing himself ns an ex
convict. The governor listened ntten
tlvely while the man complained of
certain abuses In the prison and o f
fered suggestions r s to remedies. Gov
ernor H uglgs took copious notes dur
ing the conversation and promised to
take the matter under advisement.
Sample of His investigation.
T w o former offlclals nt the capltol
will not forget the evening when the
lights wont out. The governor and
his secretaries were working late.
They lost valuable time hunting for
candles. This led Governor Hughes
to Investigate the lighting system,
bring about Improvements which will
obvlato any future resort to candles,
dismiss two Important officials nnd cen
sure a third. Hughes, you know, got
his office beenuso he was an Investi
gator.
These are small Incidents, but they
have n large bearing upon the charac
ter o f the man Hughes. One of the
bigger affairs of his administration
was his fight to oust Otto Kelsey, the
state Insurance commissioner. As ev
erybody knows, after I.awyer Hughes
hnd Investigated gas he was called to
Investigate life Insurance. After his
searching questions h:nl compelled In
sura nre presidents nivl managers to
disgorge the facts v hlch proved their
gross mismanagement of the people’s
funds Mr. Hughes prepared the official
report of the legislative Investigating
committee to which he hnd acted as
chief counsel. When he became gov
ernor he knew life Insurance down to
the nnb. He became convinced that
the commissioner of Insurance was not
taking advantage of the findings con
tained In that report to protect policy
holders He proposed to have a new
commissioner, but he gave Mr. Kelsey
an opportunity to show cause why he
should not be removed.
Won a Moral Victory.
Governor nuglies notified Commis
sioner Kelsey to appear liefore him In
the big room for Immediate examtna
tlon. There was no prevedeut for such
a thing, of course. But, then. Gov
ernor Hughes cares little for prece
dents. lie cares more for common
sense, for business methods applied on
the Jump to the case Immediately In
ha ml. A fter a few hours of what law
yers call "Q and A.," otherwise cross
examination. Mr. Kelsey felt like the
bosom of a boiled shirt after being
worn on a hot August day. He was
wilted. The party machine In the state
senate sustained Mr. Kelsey and pre
vented his removal, but the governor
won the moral victory.
Also the governor a little later by-
attending strictly to Ills business ns
chief executive according to his own
interpretation took the starch out of
the party machine. A correspondent
wrote from Albany:
“ He has smashed his party organi
zation so that there Is little left of It
as a machine. To be sure, many of the
working parts are Intact, but they are
not assembled.”
Neither Boss Nor Machine.
And It Is not at all likely that they
will be assembled so loug as Charles
E. Hughes stays In Albany. There Is
no Republican party machine In New
York state at present writing. Up to a
year or two ago the machine was as
active as an automobile with a full
tank out to break the record. Now It
lies by the wayside like an auto that
has butted against a steel telegraph
pole. Governor Hughes Is the steel
pole. There Is no Republican boss lu
New York state. Boss Platt Is no
more. Boss Odell Is no more. State
Chairman AVoodruff. who might be
boss with some other man than
Hughes In the gubernatorial chulr. Is
not a boss at all. For the first time In
many years New York state Republic
ans have neither boss nor machine.
Why not? Because th ( man at the
big flat desk la the larg; open cham
her at Albany steadfast'y refuses to
attend to anybody’s bus ness but his
own. He Is the governo • and attends
to the governor's buslnes i. His Inter
pretation of the goverr or’s business
does not Include partlsa ishlp of any
sort, does not Include fixing up the
fences so that the party may win out
next year, does not lnclu Je shysterlng
and chicanery, trlckstering nnd traf
ficking In patronage— n< ne of those
things at all. Apparently he Is not
concerned, officially at any rate, as to
whether New York city goes Republic
an or Cattaraugus county carries the
whole ticket with Increased majorities.
He does not care, officially speaking,
whether the Empire State Is Repub
lican or Populist next year. That Is
none o f his business. His business Is
to ba governor of New York and do
the work directly connected with that
office until his term shall end.
Governor Hughes puts no ear to the
ground to hearken the rumbling of
popular Issues. Last winter state leg
islatures east, west and south were
passing laws reducing the railroad pas
senger rate to 2 cents a mile. The
people clamored for such laws. The
governors signed them. There seemed
to be a general demand for an arbt
trary regulation o f passenger rates,
and It was the most popular move
ment o f rocent times.
New York's
legislative assembly passed a two cent
law. Governor Hughes vetoed It.
‘T he People's Governor.”
At first the people were shocked
rhe utterly unexpected had happened.
Indignation soon gave way to curiosi
ty.
Hughes had become known as
"the people's governor.” and he cer
tntnly was not the corporation's gov
ernor. He must have plausible rea
sons for vetoing the bill. When the
people read the governor's reasons,
submitted with his veto message,
showing the two sides o f the ques
tion, many of them applauded.
Rev. David C. Hughes, retired Bap
tist minister and father of the gov
ernor, says Charley was always a
good boy, "but neither a prig nor a
Puritan." Nobody denies that the ma
ture Charley Is making a good gov
ernor. But he Is a new sort of gov
ernor because he Is not playing poli
tics.
This extraordinary abstention
from the game that Is supposed to be a
prerogative of the New York governor
ship. with vague outlines of the White
House looming up In the Immediate
future, perplexes the politicians. They
don't know where they are at. They
are afraid to say where they stand as
to the future of Charles E. Hughes.
The people, however, are In no snch
perplexity.
Everywhere throughout
New York state you may hear people
“ mentioning” Hughes for the presl
dentlal nomination. And this reesnt
utterance of President Schurman of
Cornell In a public address delivered
from the platform where Abrahnrn
Lincoln made his first speech In the
east, the old Cooper Union In New
York city, expresses the situation:
" I f the people want Governor Hughes
for higher service. It Is best for them
to take the Initiative and extend the
call. He would not accent an Invita
tion from the bosses.”

Why He Never Mrr i
A matinee girl from Chicago looked
up from a long and painful study of
one of Clyde Fitch’s autographed sen
tUneuts Into that author's face.
"Mr. Fitch,” she began mournfully
" I know why you have not married.”
“Tell me. I would like to know.”
“ Certainly. It must have happened
this way: You wrote a proposal of
marriage to a lieautiful leading wo
man lu one of your companies. You
should have proposed In person. But
you wrote. She couldn’t read your
writing and thought it was a dismiss
al from the company. She drowned
herself, and you are still unmarried."
The dramatic author thoughtfully,
rolled a cigarette.
“ It is ns good a reason as I know.”
he responded.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
Mark Twain at a dinner at New
York once talked about the troubles of
housekeepers nt the painting season.
H e said, “ I f you are a housekeeper, I
don't need to tell you thnt when a
painter has taken up the parlor carpet,
removed the furniture from the dining
room, leaned two ladders against tha
hall mantel nnd stacked a half dozen
mrli
i :ius of paint on the side-
boa: I l. ..cans he is now ready to
paint the outside shutters and the back
fence.”

"W a s no one Injured In the railway
collision, count?”
No. Nevertheless It was a most pain
ful situation. First, second, third and
fourth class passengers all mingled to
gether. Simply unheard o f!” —Trans
