So says one of the Maine newspapers. If this
sort ofthng goes on, cities and towns will be re-
qured in order to be secure from ruinous suits,
to have their highways made equal to the best
turnpikes, and patrolled daily by section men, as
railroads are. The main cause of these excessive
demands for compensation and heavy verdicts, is
that jurymen allow their sympaties to run away
man appeals for relief and undoubtedly needs it !;
the defending corporation Is able to pay and
those who render large verdict for the plaintiff
quiet their conscences by the reflection that they
have simply levied contribution for the needy
upon those who have the means to respond. That
may be q sort of q strained benevoence, but it is
neither law nor justice. Il Belfast journal.
