ASTOUNDING DECISION.

Judge Gummere- William s. Gummere
let his name be recorded in full-the New
Jersey Supreme court jurist, who decided
that "the life of child of five is worth
from six cents to dollar, has rendered
another astounding decision.
In thislearned judge, this Daniel, come
tojudgment. says: "The death of labor.
ing man making 81 80 a day, while orth
as much in sorrow as the death of mill
lionaire, is not worth as much pecuniarily
as the death ola man m liking $40 900 q
year"
Such decisions are joyous utterances fol
corporations whose operations endanger
human life.
Judge Gummere should be the patron
saint of the traction companies and the
railroad managers Of New Jersey. He
renders the slaughter of human beings a
light and inexpensive amusement.
Judge Gummere received such a
"roast" from the press on account of his
former decision as to the value of a
child's life that he has tried to render his
later decisions a shade less brutal by
admitting that the children, the wife, the
parents and the friends of man who
works for 81 l.5O day may be susceptible
of suffering grief at the loss Of life, but he
still clings to his sordid, shocking and
dreadful financial doctrine as to the
value of human existence.

can induce him to abandon cause if
he believes it to be righteous.
