high, rather narrow foreheard indi-
Gates intellectually of a high degree,
and the blue eyes are wide apart and
deep set. The nose is small straight,
and the nostrils express refinement;
the mouth is large, full-lipped, and the
teeth are large, regular and white. In
repose there is nothing striking in the
face, but when Mr.. Hughes becomes
interested in conversation he pos
sesses a goodly smile and his eyes
suggest the strong, earnest man who
is confident of his powers.
The rise of Charles Evans Hughes
was rapid and remarkable. Not many
years ago he was a practically un-
known lawyer. He had never been a
politician. He had never Joined in
campaign work. He had not been a
corporation lawyer. He was simply
hard-working, hard-headed attorney
with moderate practice.
Mr.. Hughes took Office as governor
January 1. 1907. He secured the pas
sage of laws placing public utility cor
porations under the control of state
public service commissions, stopped
race-track open gambling, and insti-
tuted notable reforms in the consid-
Grafton and conduct of public affairs
at Albany.
Vetoes over Two Hundred Bills
In his hrst year of office he vetoed
more than two hundred bills which
the legislature had passed, explaining
in each case his reasons for the veto.
As a result the volume of legislation
was much decreased, and the quality
markedly improved
Governor Hughes was the choice of
the New York delegation to the 1908
Republican national convention for
president He was a leading pessibil-

Traits Of Hughes Family.
Simplicity is the keynote of the
home life of Mrs. Charles E. Hughes.
Her home is elegant but unpretentious,
with quiet, restful presence which
makes the privilege of entrance one
to be courted. Mrs. Hughes is not in
any sense clubwoman. She is devot.
| ed to her husband and family and has
little time to give to clubs and socie
ties.
They are the parents of the first
baby to be born in the executive man
sion at Albany. Their children are, re
spectively. Charles Evans, Jr., Helen
Katherine and Elizabeth. They were
married in Brooklyn when MIR. Hughes
was twenty-six years of age and foul
years after he had graduated from Co
lumbia Law school. There is a story
afiCat that the young lawyer never
called at the home of the then Miss
Antoinette Carter until after they were
engaged. When Mrs. Hughes wal
asked about it once she replied
evasively that she had known Mr.
Hughes for three years before the!
were engaged
Hughes Earned Sig Fees.
Hughes was not Obliged to wait yer!
long for this new dignity of position
and such was his ability that ere lonj
all the more intricate portions of tn,
legal work of the firm were trans
ferred to him. From the outset, Mrs
Hughes. VINO is a graduate of Welles
ley, and, of course, comes of a lega
family, was of real assistance to he
husband in his career. Although
Hughes, when compared to many les
able legal lights has never been mucl
of a money-getter, he was ere he ha,
reached his thirtieth year receiving
an income of $4,000 to $4,000 pc
year.
Some Views by Hughes.
II believe in work, hard work an
long hours of work. Men do not brea
down from overwork, but from worr
and dissipation.
II notice that most successful me.
are those whose minds are alway
cool. who, no matter how swift tn
movements of their bodies, are abl
to deliberate coolly and to produc
calm, sober judgment even under dil
turbing circumstances. 1t is not tn
man who reaches the corner first VIII
wins, but the man who knows exactl
what he is going to do when b
reaches the corner.
81 regard a successful man as on
who has utilized to its fullest exter
the best ability in him. One man ma
have great ability as a money-maker
then he would be successful when b
had made much money. Another ma
may have ability as an artist; he
successful when he has won fame b
his art. II a man leaves any one {
his talents to lie idle he is not a SUI
cessful man. Mere money-making is
, poor sort of success
my views on religion are not wins
most of my church friends would r
gard as orthodox; in fact, l have ratl
or free views. but recognize that "
have in the church the greatest CO..
servative force in our affairs, and
for no other reason than this, fe
that it should be supported. There
: a lot of cant about it, but it has a gre,
power for good, whether one agret
: or not with the teachings of it's mi
lsters."
