Ross Wyoning HUGHES LIKE BOY OUT OF SCHOOL AS PUBLIC OFFICE NEARS CLOSE Has Given Eighteen Years to Almo.st_ Continuous Service and Probably Will Be Frequently Called Upon for Rest of Life. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. Quitting public life after 18 years of nearly continuous service, Charles Evans Hughes admits a feeling akin to that of a boy getting out of school. He feels he is going to Be his own master again. To a conscientious man public duty in time becomes a Simon Legree. The lash is always cracking. Mr. Hughes has been a conscientious public servant. Ha could not be any- thing else. And so now his vacation time has come, and he is going out, figuratively, to kick up his heels. As a matter of faot, it is not quite correct to say that Mr. Hughes is quitting public life. Rather it should be sald of him that he is quitting pub- lic office. Like Elihu Root. he will be called upon during all of his active years for public service of some sort or other and will give, as always, of the best that is in him. Has Unigue Experience. Mr. Hughes as he has prepared to leave Washington has confided to no one his innermost thoughts, and they are thoughts vouchsafed to no other man, for no other man ever tasted of the cup of the presidency of the United States only_to have it dashed from his lips- at-the -first sweet draught. Mr. Hughes is not given to Hving In a world vf what might have been. He is too praciical for that. Otherwise he . never .could have “come back” as h= did after retiring that night. in. 1916, when every one about him was bowliig to a new. “Mr. Presldent,” and then awakening in the morning to find it was but a dream after all. Without a - bitter word or a vain reflection, Charles E. Hughes wiped the slate clean that No- vember morning and lived on to ren- der a service during the past four years as closely akin to a President as & mortal ever-has been. The passing of Mr. hughes has made this Inauguration seem literally like a change of administration. His will be the figure most mis: in Washing- ton. He has begn known {ntimately in the Capital ever since the days of the Taft administration, when he was called to the bench of the Supreme Court. And although he “retires” to the practice of law, his life will al- ‘ways be a semi-public one, even when he {8 not serving on some high public mission, for no President of the fu- ture will hesitate to call upon Mr. Hughes when service.for which he is particularly fitted is required. There are those who believe that even yet ti presidency is not closed to Mr. Hughes, but Mr. Hughes gives no in- dication of sharing in their thoughts. For him politics is adjourned. Any service he may render in the future ‘will be public and not polltlclb 7 Manner Js Unchanged. As Mr. Hughes -quite public office the writer may be pardoned for quot- ing from a character study of Mr. Hughes, written in 1906, just after he had accompanied th néwly rlartad Governor of New York on his firat campaign tour. 1t is because.this old and musty sketch shows the unchang- ing character of the departing Secre- tary of State that it is recalled. Here is_a brief extract from it: “A man of highly pollshed man- ners, of scrupulous neatness as to the most minute detalls of his wear- ing apparel, of a love for thorough- ness and preciseness born of many years of careful faw practice and the drawing of flawless legal briefs, a man whose conscience is keenly sen- sitive to wrong-doing and to whom right-doing is the only theory of life he has ever known—there is the tmpression of New York's new gov- ernor, Charles Evans Hughes, glean- ed in many weeks of assoclation with this interesting figure during ome of the notable. periods of his life. He is to be installed January 1 {n the governor's mansion at Albany, a po- sitfon which has served as a state: man’s kindergarten for future Presi- dents of the republic. ~Utterly ig- norant of the game of practical poll- tics as it is played today, declaring his independence of any boss, and asserting he will be gulded in all matters only by a sense of right, Mr. Hughes' term in the White House of New York State will be an experi- ment, which can well be watched by the peopte of all the country. “Mr. Hughes has.the reputation of being wrapped in a coating of ice. 1t is there at-first acquaintance, but closer contact reveals a wealth of geniality, and compantonability. His characteristic of -reserve is a_ conse- quence of the life he has led. He will grow out of it.” And- Washington today agrees that he has. (Copyright, 1925.)

Only a short time will be consumed by the remainder of the ex erclses In the chamber and the par will move to the Inaugural stand. The duty of administering the oath will require only a minute, that part of the ceremony to be performed by Chief Justice Taft. The minute the President has repeated the oath the new administration will have come into office and Mr. Coolidge will begin to deliver his inaugural address, his first pronouncement as President by mandate of the electorate. His address will require little more than 15 minutes, it is thought. All of the public reviewing stands in front of the White House will be completed by tonight. Already most of the seats have been sold. All day today crowds passed in and out of the Gridiron Club room of the Wil- lard Hotel, where the inaugural committee has its headquarters, seek- ing the coveted pasteboards. Tickets will be on sale there until the last one has been sold. Before noon it was announced that only box seats were left.

BY FPREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Calvin Coolldge first presidential enters upon the term in his own right strongly intrenched in public confidence. An ‘“apprenticeship” of 17 months in the White House stands to credit. It the oplnion of friend and foe that he has acquitted perhaps not and certalnly not pyrotech but to the general and widespread satisfac- tion of the country as a whole. In the inauguration crowds there are hundreds of Democrats. This writer encountered a group of them trom ribbed Democratic Texas. ‘Texas is for Coolidge because it thinks he's all right,” sald a cotton planter from Galveston. “Thousands of Texas Democrats voted for him He's all right his is Toc Epitomizes General Feeling. In that familiar American idion ‘He's all right,” is epitomized a por ular sentiment toward Coolidge that is as wide e Republic itself. 1 is cherished many who that the President has decided 1i tions—who think, for example, he lacks the the intellect of a W but w lieve he, measures up far above the average run of presidential timber t the Nation's requirements. If the people from all sections now gathered in Washington could be polled, it 1s a safe conclusion that they would agree on one thing about Coolidge That is, that his present-hour strangle- d on public esteem is due prima rily to his economy program. There is no mistake whatever that the Presi- dent's fnsistence upon Government money saving, in order that there may be progressive tax reduction, has made a universal hit with the country. It is an fssue on which no partisan differences are possible. When John W. Davis, Mr. Coolidge's late Democ: ovponent for the presidency, was asl by Washington newspaper men in tI enate press gallery yesterday to d cuss the Coolldg prograr Davis said so many tha “everybody™ is for it as t conced Business Backs Polic ness world is parti the econo what the President himself sees in it—the surest, if method of effecting tax reform business man in the United s whether it be Judge Gary of the Steel Corporation, or Mr. Rocke- feller of the Standard Oil Co., or Julius Rosenwald of Sears, Roebuck & Co., or the citrus fruit grower in California, or the cattle rancher in Wyoming, or tl wheat raiser in Kansas, is bending all his energies in cutting down the cost of production. Calvin Coolidge wants to cut down the cost of producing Governmer Heo has declared war on “overhead just like every business man, large or small, is trying to do. Coolidge is talking the language of the busi- ness tribe when he preaches econo; That's why business, irrespective of its politics, thinks he's “all right.’ And nearly everybody in America, in some way or other, is in business. Economy of taxpayers’ money isn't the only kind of thrift in Calvin Coolidge that has made milllons of Americans believe in him. They par- ticularly like his ecomomy of lan- guage, as manifested in conversation at the White House and in public messages and other utterances. There is, it ought to be said, a bit of myth about the President’s taclturnity. He sometimes talks a great deal. He speaks volubly to the Washington correspondents twice a week Can Mensure His Words. At his own desk, when he has a caller on a subject that appeals to his, Calvin Coolidge can be, and is, as chatty as any man. But the pub- lic at large has a conception of hi that is well founded as a man who measures his words when they ought to be measured. They like that trait in him. They welcome it in an age that is heavily surcharged. with hot air. . And then, bevond any a doubt, the American people liko the mode of living that Mr. and Mrs Cooliége practice. ~The spectacle that tens of millions of our people will envisage on Inauguration night, of the President sitting quietly at home in the White House with his father, and of the first lady of the land alongside him, with her mother and a Vermont schoolgirl chum house guests—that's the kind of & sidelight on the Coolidges that has fortified them in popular regard be- yond all measure The country knows it is incorrigi- bly extravagant and often vulgarly ostentatious. Yet it has plaudits for a President and his consort who are setting as useful an example as our plutocratic land needs, namely example of simple living. These are some of the reasons, and the chief ones why, when Calvin Coolidge takes the oath of office on March 4 an almost incomparably fervent chorus of national good will will echo across the continent (Copyright, 1 SENATE CONFIRMS TWO D.

PR R SEGREGATION ORDINANCE UPHELD IN LOUISIANA New Orleans Colored Residents Raising Fund to Carry Case to U. S. Supreme Court. By the Assocated Press. NEW ORLEANS, La., March 3.—Ths Supreme Court of Louislana yesterday approved the “segregation ordinance” passed by the city council, which pro- hibits negroes from estabiishing resi- dence in whito neighborhoods and whites from living in negro neighbor- hoods.
