The production of petroleum In the
United States has increased from

and 100 millions in 1908, or more than
half the worlds production in that

A PECULIAR DEFENSE.

A suit growing out Of railway at
Abel some time ago, the responsibility
for which rested upon an eighteen year
old telegraph operator at Give, has
been recently decided in the fedora.
court at Des Moines. William Fields,
a trainman, brought suit for damages
claiming that as result of the wreck
in which he was involved, he was seiz-
ed by an attack of neurasthenia, d
dread disease whereby a person loses
all control of the nervous system and
becomes irritable and cross tempered
and even unable to work. 1t was
alleged by the plaintiff that Fields was
formerly strong and healthy man.
and since the accident had decreased
in weight over twenty-five pounds. The
defense contended that the poor condi
ton into which Fields had fallen was
the result of alcohol and not the ac-
cident which befell him at Abel. The
verdict was for s275. against the COM
pany.
From the smallness of the amount
awarded the plaintiff the inference
might naturally be drawn that the de-
PENDANT company established at least
part of its allegations and thus saved
itself from verdict of heavier dam
ages. In the court of public opinion.
u ,&.,a,.ar thu rofn,,ca will no copctr,,
ed as self-accusation and confession.
Here was an eighteen yeear old oper-
ator throwing two trains together thru
carelessness or Incompetence and
frightening sufferer from alcoholism
into neurasthenia, according to the
insistence of the company which en-
ployed both. Such defense made the
company money. but. it cam not save
its credit with the public that is oblig
ed to trust its lives to telegraph oper-
ators and trainmen. The defense is
more expensive than the verdict.
The travelling public has the right
to demand that no incompetent man
or one addicted to the liquor habit be
employed in train service. A drunk
ard is as dangerous as a lunatic and
the results Of incompetence differ little
from those Of vicious intent so far as
life and death or serious injury are
concerned. Such defenses against dam
age suits as the one just quoted are
not reassuring to a public that reads
