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.” St. Phones T h e P a in t e r M a n . 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.” A l m o s t a s B ad .
