Railroads Should Have
Fair Play.
Have

IL may be true that the railroad
companies are able to take care of
of themselves, but it is also a fact
that they have the same rights in
the courts as private citizens, and
the juries of our country should
remember this when they are called
on to render verdicts in caees where
railroad companies are concerned.
It is a common expression that iii
that was against q railroad compa-
ny he could recover damages cas-
lily" This is true only because of
the prejudice that exists in the
people generally against railroads.
In this state, in another county
there was man who boarded n
train to ride TO the tank, few huns
died yards away. with his wife,
who had started on q trip. He
learned that the train was not go
ing to stop at the tank, so he ran
out and jumped of. and broke his
ankle. The employees Of the road
hrd nothing to do with him get
ting on or getting of, and when
help came to him he said. "There
is no one to blame but myself"
But later on he sued the road and
recovered several Thousand dollars
for personal injuries. Another
case on the same road where a
woman was travelling, the train
Lett the track and she sustained q
small hruise that was we'll in q
week. and left not the slightast
trace, yet she recovered severa
hundred dollars for personal iniu-
ries. Such verdicts are no iest
wrong when rendered against g
corporation than against an indi
vidual,
Besides this, the jury is only
bleeding the people, for the com.
pany must make provision for th,
pay ment OF such claims in its char
ges for freight and passage. There
are many just claims for damages
and the companies should pay
them, but many thousand dollar
would be saved to the people i
