WV IHO'S Hughes?"

AA/ Such was the query of
Chairman Stevens Of the
New York legislatures gas
trust investigating committee in March,
1905, when State Senator Alfred r.
Page, one Of the members, suggested
Attorney Charles Evans Hughes for
chief counsel or inquisitor.
Just at present Mr. Hughes is gov
ernor Of New York, but he was an
unknown lawyer when that question
was asked. Mr.. Page knew that Mr..
Hughes was good lawyer. A consid-
cradle group Of men in New York city,
where he practiced, also knew this
fact. But there are many other good
lawyers in New York, so that is not
very much of distinction. However,
Page insisted to Stevens that Hughes
was the very best lawyer available
for the work in hand-to corkscrew
confessions OF, amazing manipulations
out Of Consolidated Gas officials, to
poke the probe down into the rotten
core Of lighting contracts and illumi-
nate the opaque interior and to dis
cover that New York people were pay
ing dollar for gas that cost % cents.
Hughes was hired and did the work.
Now people no longer ask who's
Hughes, but throughout the United
States they are asking what's Hughes

A Unique Governor.

Charles e. Hughes has 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 at this human specimen
from all sides and in all lights the con-
clusion is reached that he does not be-
long in any classification hitherto ac-
cepted, but is a whole new class by
himself. AS public administrator
Governor Hughes is unique.
People are asking, "What about this
man Hughes?'' with thoughts on presi
Dental possibilities, but it Is declared
by close friends Of the governor him.

who oppose him politically thAt the
subject Of this curiosity Is not think
ing at all about what may happen to
him or who Hughes may be next year
or ten years hence. Hughes, they say
is simply attending to his job as gov.
ernor Of New York.
1t may be said that Mr.. Hughes in

entiates him from the general run oil

interprets his duties is best explained
by citing incidents in his official career

the working desk Of the governor was
in small room adjoining the fine
large chamber which Is known as the
executive Office. Former governors pre-
ferred the small room SO that they
could keep away from the crowd which
frequently fills the large room; also, it
must be said, some Of them preferred
the little Office SO that they could talk
I'm private with politicians. Governor
Hughes used the little room for few
days. Then he marched out into the
big room and took his seat at the ex-
pansiye fat desk which had been
merely ornamental, and he works there
every day.
Shortly after this move a certain In
dtvidual entered the big chamber and
put his face close to the governors,
saying softly:
Il want to see you alone, governor"
II am alone" replied the governor In
his everyday voice.
"But this is a private matter, gov
ernor, and"
Lis it official businees?"
"Yes, butt
AGood day." said Governor Hughes.
That politician thus made the star
Ting discovery that New York has a
governor to whom no official business
is private.
It used to be mighty hard for hum
pie citizen to get access to the little
room and the governors ear Now

Rides a ST 900 Horse.

When he became secretary of war
Mr.. Taft had to have his chairs and
other furniture built to order. He re-
quires horses especially constructed in
the same way. Recently he hunted all
over the country to find a suitable
steed and had to pay $1,000 for one
guaranteed to bear up under the strain.
Atlas had a hard job, but the Taft
horses could tell him some things that
would make his load seem easier.
Secretary Taft does not want to be
president, feeling that all the other
candidates share with him. His life's
ambition has been to sit on the SUI
preme bench, and both his friends and
-anamies agree that he would grace
that tribunal. When he took the gov
ernorship of the Philippines, it was ex-
planned to him that it might prevent
him from realizing his aspiration to go
to the nations highest court, but he
nevertheless chose to follow duty.
Fate sometimes has strange way Of
dealing out poetic justice in such
cases. Abraham Lincoln lost the sem
ate by clinging to his principles, but
won the presidency. Is history again
to assume her familiar role Of q re-
peater?

Plan to Buy Piano Fer 3 school.

TtaH 20 ouy Fi1no F0r Och0ots
The children of the public schools at
Swedesboro, N. j., are having the time
Of their lives, says special dispatch
to the St Louis Republic. All day
they can sit in school and chew gum or
eat candy, and when their supply runs
out they can go to their teacher and
buy more, for every teacher now runs
q confectionery store and sells the
children all the candy they wish to
buy. The profit is to be used to
purchase piano for the $38 600 school
house now in the course Of erection.
OF course the rule forbidding children
eating in school hours has not been re-
yoked, but under the present circum-
stances It is but natural that the teach
ers cannot always see when the rule
Is being broken.

lunattc can enter the big room and
state his case to the governor, who
listens as attentively to a cab driver
as he listens to the president Of a
railroad. Some months ago man
Just released from state prison called
upon Governor Hughes in the big
room, announcing himself as an ex-
convict. The governor listened atten-
lively while the man complained Of
certain abuses In the prison and Of
fered suggestions as to remedies. Gov
ernor Hughes took 0opious notes dur

take the matter under advisement.
Sample of His Investigation.
Two former officials at the capitol
will not forget the evening when the
lights went out IL 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 viii
obviate any future resort to candles,
dismiss two important officials and CEN
sure third. Hughes, you know, got
his office because he was an investi-
gator.
These are small incidents, but they
have large bearing upon the charac-
ter Of the man Hughes. One Of the
digger affairs of his administration
was his fight to Dust Otto Kelsey, the
state insurance commissioner. Az ey-

did not dream at that time of ever b.
ing mistress Of the historic mansion,
Coming events may cast their shad-
ows before, but it requires second sight
to see the shadows.
The wife Of the war secretary. who
may become first lady Of the land, be-
lieves in higher education for women,
takes deep interest in musical affairs,
is good conversationalist, full of an
ecdotes Of her travels, and is withal
tactful and gracious hostess very
popular in Washington society. She
is quite as good politician as her
husband and is probably more ambi-
tious for him than he is for himself
Unpretentious and Clean Minded.
The chief characteristics of William
Howard Taft are breadth Of view, I'M
failing optimism, judicial balance, cou-
pied with rare degree of executive
ability, capacity for work and the un-
failing aptitude to meet any situation
and perform any task that comes to
him. Withal he is diplomat, a poll
tician in the best sense of that abused
term and an unpretentious and clean
minded American gentleman.
Secretary Taft is nearly fifty-one
years of age and weighs But why go
into details that might be embar-
RAISING? Indeed. no one knows exact
ly how much he does weigh except
Mr.. Taft himself, and he won't tell.
Besides, it is as indicate to talk of
the avoirdupois of man who tips the
scale at more than 300 pounds as it is
to inquire into the age Of woman
past thirty. Anyway Mr.. Taft weighs
enough, and we shall have to be con-
tent with that.
The secretary Of peace, war and mat
rimony Is democratic in manner, a
good story teller, blue eyed, slightly
baldheaded. not afraid of a boss. loyal
to his chief and man whose good
nature is like a gale.
His only form Of exercise is horse
back riding. This also furnishes exer-
else for the horse, leading to magnifi-
cent results in the line of equine mus
cular development. Mr.. Taft gets on
his mount with a stepladder, but once
In the saddle he can be shaken loose
by nothing less than an earthquake.
