Let US see what Luther E. Hall did
in the very position we have sup
posed.
He had been elected to a vacancy
on the supreme bench of Louisiana
for term of L years to begin next
spring. The salary Is $4,000 year,
making the income $4,000.
He was sought out by number OF
prominent citizens and asked to con.

emoluments If the people desired him
to serve them as governor for four
years at a salary of $1,000. This
constitution prohibits him from serv.
ing as governor more than one term.
He could stand for reelection on the
bench for second or even third
term
And Hall replied that he would
take up the cause of the people. that
he would make the great sacrifice IL
Louisiana called him to it.
He has taken up that cause will
ingiy and manfully and since last
July has been campaigning through
out the state. discussing the issues
before the voters of Louisiana He
has subjected himself to the abuse
and ISLANDERS of the opposition. He
has been maligned and misrepresent-
ed on all sides, but has kept his
course and demonstrated the fact that
the people want him in the executive
chair.
He has done his whole duty in this
as he has in all public stations to
which he has been elected. and the
people will recognize their oppor-
tunity to select man for governor
who has shown such a noble sense
Of obligation to the state.

THE MAN WHO SACRIFICES

Suppose you were a man who had
no worldly goods to speak of. That
you had started with nothing. and had
to labor hard for bare support, and
later on by your abilities had risen
some in the world, but had not been
able from your earnings to more than
maintain your family, and had there
fore laid by little or nothing for a
rainy day.
Suppose then that by a stroke OF
good fortune you had been suddenly
elevated to a position where you were
sure of an income for y years which
would not only sustain your family
comfortably but enable YOU to lay
aside two or three thousand dollars
per annum. Suppose further. that
there was a reasonable certainty that
Won could bv strict performance OF

brought to you the very highest hon.

ments.
Being In such a position. would you
willingly give it up and accept an

But few of us would turn our backs
upon affluence and choose the hard
