WASHINGTON. Mar. 10.-—Charles
Evans Hughes has left public lite al.
most as inconspicuousiy as any oin-
cie-l of recent years—singled out nei-
ther by President Coolidge nor Con-
gross tor honors in recognition or
service done.
It is true the under secretaries.
bureau chiefs. and cabinet colleagues
together with the entire diplomatic
went to the station to say
goodbye but these stands no testimo-
nial trorn the government except the
generalities oi the letters exchang-
ed at the time 0! his resignation
more than a month ago.
In the hurry and bustle of the in-
auguration the departure 0: one oi
the most prominent tiguros in Am-
. ericen public life wont unsung and,
‘ one might say. unrer.'arded. Many
men received the disiinuulshEd sex-v-
IO. cross for work unnu- at their
delka in Washington dull“; the War.
Charles Evans Hughes has been con-
oentrated for tour years on one at
the most complicated tasks that ever
need a Secretary of State. Wen.-
it not for the ingenuity of Mr.
Huh“ the "isolationists" in the
Saw. would never have been
brough into line in the making or a
treety of peace with Germany. And
were it not for Mr. Hughes. the
United States would not now he co-

tions nor too Presidents so definite-
ly committed to the adherence of the
United States to the world court
protocol.
The retiring secretary has not eat-
istied all clams but he has steered

best toreign policy possible under the
peculiar circumstances existing in
the Unitsd States Senate.
So tar as the press and the outside
world is concerned. it can be said
yitbou't much dissent from any
quarter that Charles Evans Hughes
was frank with the newspapermen
and told them in his almost daily
conferences more lasts about the
foreign policy or the American gov-
ernment than any ever secured
through any other channel before.
Mr. Hughes had one more faculty
that was rare. His expositions were
lucid. The newspapermcn listened
often to an argument that might
have been directed to the Supreme
Court or a world tribunal. And oc-
ueionally his hearers wefi so im-
preued that they did the unpreee-
dent thing—they broke out into sp-
planes.
. Mr. Hughes‘ idea was that in ar-
guing before the group of newspa-
permen he was really arguing with
the American people. He never
consciously misied s. correspondent.

“Ma” Ferguson Bans
Masks in Texas

prohibiting the wee-ring of masks
in public was signed yesterday by.
Governor Iiriam Ferguson. It pro-
vides severe penalties for persons en-
tering public buildings. churches or
private homes while masked. It was
a Demoerstto party pledge of the
last campaign and resulted mainly
from flogging parties staged by
masked bands in Tones during the
last tew years. said Representative
Holbrook. author of the bill.
One section 01 the law which be-
comes eflective immedstely de-
clares it unlawful “tor soy secret
society or organisation or a part of
the members thereof. masked or dis-
guised to parade upon or along
any public road or any town in this
state."

Although considerable pressure is
being brought to bear upon the re-
publican legislators at Albany to en-
act a dry enforcement law at this
session. republican leaders know
well that to do so would be political
suicide. Even if it should get through
the legislature Governor Smith is al-
most sure to veto it.
