GOVERNOR CHARLES EVANS HUGHES.

raft presidential campaign of last fail
with national reputation as Il cam
paign orator. Widely spoken of as the
greatest asset Of the Republican party
in the east and reelected by a larger
majority than he received two years
before, in spite of the prejudice Ger
tain of his reform measures had
aroused. he entered on his second term
of Office with probably the greatest
measure of popularity lie had ever en-
1oyed. The legislature convened. Gov
ernor Hughes promulgated a long re.
form program on the lines he has
made familiar. The defeat of this pro-
gram is well known. Today how do
we find him? We know that his party
organization is violently opposed to
him and TO his methods and measures.
But has he grown stronger with the
people? If he has not gained strength,
has he retained his former strength?
If he has not retained it, what portion
or percentage of it has he lost? What
does he want to accomplish for him
self or for his announced princi-
pies?
What does the future hold for him
In politics?
Would Not PLAY Politics"
As a purely political exposition a
governor who fights the state organic
ton of his party can gain but one of
two things-a victory or a compro-
mise. The chances always are that he
VIII attain neither end. To gain either
he must play politics" Hughes has
not played politics-i. e.. he has not
created a political machine through
his powers of appointment and veto.
Therein lies the secret of much of
what will prove to be his weakness in
the immediate future
lie was renomlnated for governor
because the Republican leaders. state
and national. feared the loss of votes
that would result from turning down
n reform governor in presidential
year In what might again prove to be
the pivotal state But that contingen-
cy cannot occur again. so far as

Cnnuicts as Ar Rival

There is a strong rivalry between
three prisoners in the Berks county
prison in Pennsylvania, each of whom
is an artist. They have all noticed that
the paintings in the warden's off1c :,

each wants the job-to kill time. An

Surgical skill has given to eight
year-old Carl Treworgy of Denver a

ments we find ourselves in a scene of
beauty, and we can wander along the
banks for several miles lost in won
derment at the glories opening out
before us.
Below is a ravine down the center
OF which is a rushing stream, the bed
of which is strewn with huge rocks.
round which the water whirls and
lashes itself into foam. On either side
are precipitous hills densely wooded,
and we here and there obtain a
glimpse Of banks of gigantic foxgloves
and other wild flowers, whilst near the
waters edge are ferns in bewildering
variety, some of which are almost
tropical reaching a height of nearly
six feet
A walk of about two miles brings us
to the famous "Watersmeet," where
the Coombe Water joins the Brendon
Water in a succession of beautiful
falls, and the grandeur and manifold
beauties of the scenery at this point
may tempt us to remain here till we
are READY to resume our journey back
to Lynmouth.
Should, however, we decide to pro-
coed, we can follow the Brendon Wa
ter for another four or five miles
through scenery momentarily growing
more beautiful untf we at length
reach Doone valley, where we can ex.
pore many of the points of interest
referred to in Blacknore's novel. in.
