He has al ready taken his oath of office as As sociate Justice of the Supreme Court 1 and if defeated in his ambition to become Governor, will, next spring, take his seat on the Supreme Bench. 1 In that capacity he will daily pass upon questions involving life, liber ty and property to litigants before that Court and affecting, indeed, the interest of all inhabitants of the State. Judge Hall is a poor man. It costs a lot of money to make the race for Governor and somebody must put up that money, for Judge Hall hasn't got it to put up. The judge is engaged in an acri monious and heated political cam paign. He and his organs of the press are daily slinging mud at Dr. Aswell, and the doctor and his or gans are daily bespattering the judge. Every day an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court is dragging thro' the mire of politics the judicial gown which the people of this Su preme Court district presented to him, not twelve months ago. Truly, an unseemly spectamle! Truly a pity it is that we have not in Louisiana the "Recall" which has been adopt ed in some of the States. By the exercise of that power the people have the right to remove from office the officer who has failed in the trust confided to him, who has lost their confidence and respect. Judge Hall has declined to resign the office of Associate Justice. He insists on holding on to it, and, when defeated, will take his soiled ermine on the Bench. But, if we had the right to "recall" him, this could be prevented. If the judge's sense of delicacy does not indicate to him that a Supreme Court Judge ought not to put himself under pe cuniary and political obligations to possible suitors before his Court and ought not to engge in bitter politi cal and personal controversies with members of the bar whose cases will come before him for adjudication, we feel sure the people of this dis trict would promptly teach him a lesson in ethics if they had the pow er. His case is certainly a strong argument in favor of the Recall. As it is we will have to "grin and bear himl" He will not get much honor out of his position on the Bench, but then he will get his $6,000 per. LEISLATIVE CANDIDATES. In the clamor and heat of a 8tate campaign where the people are to select the Governor and all State and parish officers and two United States senators, the voters are apt to lose sight of the importance of selecting fit men to represent them in the Legislature. Indeed, there is an unfortunate disposition to look on these offices as of little importance to the people and to permit them to be filled by men of small capacity for the im portant work entrusted to them. These observations, we think, ap ply particularly at this time, when the people of Louisiana are called on to choose a new Legislature to exercise the most important power in our governmental system-the ir of making new laws or re ing or amending old ones-a we which arects the happiness and prosperity cf every citiuen. S Take, for instance, the question ts ati Cation of the proposed t to the Constitution which vsto to impoms a tax to that lstzre tha states, the Ieaw t the ber ~lrth. 'SI Thirty-one of the States, includ- Ii ing every one of the Southern States, except Louisiana, have al ready ratified this amendment, only! four more States are required to make it law. Will the Legislature, about to be chosen, vote for ratifi-: cation, or, like its predecessor, fail to carry out the will of the people of Louisiana. The answer to this question depends on the voters. Each and every candidate for the next Senate and House of Repre sentatives should be required to de fine his position-to say whether, or not, he will vote for ratifica tion. There is no question of a doubt that an overwhelming majority of the people of Louisiana has for years favored the income tax. But their will was not carried out by the Legislature. At its session last year that body had the matter under consideration. The House voted for ratification but the Senate refused to ratify, so the measure was, for the time, defeated and the will of the people thwarted. This should not happen again. The way to prevent it is, as we have i pointed out, to see to it that no l man opposed to the amendment,( shall become a member of the next Legislature. Let each voter, beforel pledging his support to or casting, his vote for any candidate for Sen- i ate or House, find out how be 1 stands. In this way, and in this way only, can we be sure that the will of ninety-five per cent of the people of Louisiana will be carried out. _ You are mistaken, "Cousin" Bob, the Legislature did not invite you to become a candidate at the ex tra session, but simply rinvited you and others who were mentioned as possible candidates to address the Legislature on certain questions. The Wells Fargo Express Co. has suc ceeded the Pacific Express Co. on the M., H. & L. and all other lines of Mis souri-Pacicfi ystem. The municipal authorities have been having the streets and sewers about town cleaned out tI week, which adds much to the general appearance of things and impr6bv the drainage of the town. The Gasette is in receipt of an ear of corn sent us by Mr. J. W. Britt and raised on his property in this parish. The corn is deep red and is a very healthy I production. The ear measams eight and I a half inches in clrenmiersace sad tea and a half indtsin length. Itis quick matering and siegetlhr salted to this section, which is now devotipg more at tention to hog and hominy than ever be fore, and the specimens of corn that have come to as all bear evidence of the adapt ability of our soil and climate to make this a great corn-growing country. Planet Jr implements are the greatest time-mavers and labor-saves ever invent for the farm and garden. They frequently do six men's work, and do it better that by ordimary methods. Over two million farmers and gardeners have found this out by actual use. You can't afprd to be without a Planet Jr. N. It P) t Jr he gWha le h .e is a 4y sad efective ol for garden caltivatio.

He is a native of Red River parish and was edu cated in our State schools. He is a young man, full of energy and re solve and comes highly recommend ed. He should, and doubtless will, have the loyal support of our peo ple in his efforts to make good and advance the educational interests of our parish. Mr. C. R.
