In the October number of the world Today, appears an article by Clinton Rogers Woodruff entitled "A Governor who cares." It is a eulogy of Governor Edwin S. Stew art, of Pennsylvania, one of the best executives this State ever had, and a deserved tribute to a great and good man. Mr. Woodruff says: "Governor Stuart of Pennsyl vania's entitled as perhaps no other governor of Pennsylvania and as few other governors of American states, to be known as "the governor who cares." lie cares about the big things; he cares about the little things. lie is concerned about the people as a whole; he is concerned about the individual, lie believes in keeping his word in letter aial in spirit. "Governor Stuart has earned his title for caring by his deep interest instate institutions, lie knows by actual observation and investigations what the several departments, bur eaus, hospitals and other institutions directly under the care of or depend ent upon the state are doing. He is here, there, everywhere over the state, q n< tly but efficiently Inform ing himself concerning the State's business, lie is straightening out the crooked places, establishing older out of chaos and introducing modern methods. He is a great be liever in concentration of authority, and wherever be can lie abolishing needless boards and commissions and putting the power and respons ibility into the hands of a single man who cannot dodge the issue. "I do not happen to have the fig ures by me, but 1 have a pretty strong impression that no executive has ever been called upon to pass up on the merits of so many measures after the adjournment of the legis lature. The session of the legis lature was a short one and was slow in getting under way, and, like most Americtn legislative bodies did 80 per cent, of its work in the last ten days of its life. As a conse quence the governor at the time of adjournment had nearly the whole accumulation of the session in his hands, intituling all the appropri ation over income. He did the work thoroughly, carefully, so discrimin atingly that he earned the com mendation and the praise of public spirited men and papers the # state over. It was in vetoing hasty and ill considered legislation that he won the greatest applause. His volume of vetoes will constitute a splendid con tribution to intelligent statecraft; on the other hand, he did not hesitate to sign certain measures which had been vigorously opposed by sen sational journals wheu he was con victed that they were in the intrests of the public. Moreover, hi* has been a bulwark in defense of what is known as the reform legislation of 1906. He has refused to sign any measure un determinlng the personal regis tration, civil service, direct pri maries or the corrupt practices acts, although he was at all times willing to aid in extending or perfecting | them. "All that has been described here in has been accomplished quietly, unostentatiously, with no bombast or sensation. The governor of Penn sylvania is a man of few words, but those are carefully chosen, and they have the force of the conviction of a sincere man behind them."
