LARGER SALARY FOR GOVERNOR.
Unjust to Ask Mr.. Hughes to Serve Again
at Sacrifice of Personal Means.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There is growing desire that Mr.. Hughes
should be nominated for a second term as Gov
ernor If he accepts the nomination it will be at
great personal sacrifice. One reason appears 10
be that the expenses of the Governors position are
too heavy for of ordinary means. Is 1t
fair or just that the great and rich State OF
New York should demand this sacrifice from its
chief officer?
The proper way, of course is to give to the
office salary that will generously support the
incumbent. That is impossible in this crisis, but
surely if ask Governor Hughes to be candi-
date again that difficulty ought to be removed
from his path. 1t would be simply an act of
public meanness make the demand now
make of him. In some most open way the public
that is served should give the laborer the hire of
which he is worthy. The rich should gre Of his
riches and the poor Of his poverty generously to
repay our highest official There must be intel
ligence enough and ingenuity enough to provide
way for doing this. l throw out this suggestion

UNIVERSITY ELECTIVE SYSTEM.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: At the recent convention of Harvard
alumni, held at Philadelphia, Charles Francis
Adams again upheld his views the dement's Of
the elective system. with what success do not at
tempt to say, but in the course of his address he
referred his hearers their experiences, ask
ing with what degree of judgment at the age of
eighteen they selected their courses of study at
Harvard, and how far such decisions formed at
this age contributed to post-coegiate welfare. Mr.
Adams's statement of his experiences in this
fact that we have heard it before The elective
system has been a bee in the bonnet of the educa-
tional world since Mr.. Adams first outlined
his views this much mooted question. l am
myself victim of the system, and hence my justi-
fcaton for writing
According to Mr.. Adams. the elective system is
institution in which human nature is encour-
aged to work along the lines of least resistance
Referring to his own specific case. ii not en-
tireiy successful. because, having reached the
years of discretion he compelled TO awake TO
the fact. and this with a start that the paths of
life not entirely of our own choosing Such
start as Mr. Adams has had others also have
doubtless experienced and why not for their good?
the system may it be that at that callow age
the system is foong him. and very much for his
good? In school college the most subtle IN
huences are those which make for the most per-
manent good. These influences may be those of
personality exerted such time and in such q
way the giver is the least conscious of them
or they may be the~infuences of a system which
affect environment. and the yield Of the latter is
one of the strongest and most abiding values OF the
elective system at Harvard.
