present is the peculiarly opportune
time to throw off the yoke. The ex-
posures OF fraud, graft and corrup-
ton existing.in departm ents Of many
state governments, No tho outgrowth
Of corporation domination, has
aroused the people as nothing else
has done, and there is everywhere a
demand for reform that will not
down.. It is now up to the voters of
this district to say whether they
will govern themselves or permit
public service corporations to con-
tinue. tnat function. Whilethis SEN
atorial district is not the whole state
it 10 the only part with which the
voters Of it are concerned.
The fact that Minnesota is one Of
the worst corporation ridden states
in the Union is too we'll established
to need discussion. The further
fact that the senator from this dis
trict, who is a candidate for third
term, has usually been with the
senatorial cabal which has faith
fully executed the edicts Of the cor.
poration rulers of the state 10 still
better esta blished, az glance at his
record will reveal. he has been
with railroads and against the
people on practically every measure
which the railroads considered an
tagonistic to themselves. That such
should be the case is perfectly nat
tural, everything considered, but it
does not appeal to the people as an
ideal condition. The senator's long
and intimate business relations with
Omaha line, and the many substan-
tial favors received naturally places
him under obligations which no
honorable man would regard lightly,
but this absolutely disqualities him
from serving as a representative Of
the people, and that he should have
been retained 80 long speaks highly
of his personal popularity. But
having been honored far beyond the
deserts of any one man in the dis
trict and being out Of joint with the
interests of his constituents it seems
timely that change was made, and
the people are demanding in no un-
Certain tones a change from a cor
poration man to a man representa-
tive of themselves. They are
aroused and when that occurs their
wishes prevail. They have in Mr..
s. B. Bedford an ideal candidate.
A pioneer of the district, he is not
ed far and wide for his business
integrity and upright living. He
stands with the people and for the
people and will represent them to |
the extent Of his splendid. ability.
He deserves just as much as any
other man in the district to be-
honored with a term or two in the
legislature, and self interest as well
as a love of fair play on the part
of the voter will, we believe, place
him there.

LAW COURT DECISION.
Telephone Co. Must Settle for Damage
by Lightning on Its Wires.

In a rescript from the law court
handed down by Justice Whitehouse ii.
the case of Wells. VS.. The New Eng
land Telephone & Telegraph Co, the
exceptions Of III" defendant and the
motion for u new trial We're oVerrulcd
on the ground that no manifest error
appeared in the finding of the jury that
guy wire from Il telephone pole to the
corner of the plaintiffs barn should not
have been attached to the barn and
that in making such n connection, the
defendant, if possessed Of the scientific
knowledge to sustain its theory. did
not act with proper regard for the
rights of the plaintiff and safety Of
her property.
The rescript received Monday is as
follows:
Wells VS.. \. F.. Telephone Co
Rescript by WhitehOuse, D.:
The plaintiff recovered a verdict of
ySO4 for the deStructio Of her barn and
It's contents by fire alleged To have been
caused by the negligence of the defend
ant company in the construction and
maintainance of its telephone line past
the plaintiffs premises on the west side
of the highway in the town of Avon.
The defendants line wires appear to
have been suspended upon poles in the
ordinary manner one Of the poles be-
ing cree ted within five feet of the north
east corner of the PLAINTIFFS barn.
There was Il curve in the road at this
point ana to counteract the tendency of
the line wire to draw this pole from its
vertical position. a guy wire, consisting
Of piece of ordinary telephone wire
was stretched from the pole to the
corner of the barn. One end of this
guy wire appears to have been wound
| around the pole at n point about two
feet below the telephone wires, and the
other end attached to the barn by
means of lag screw driven into the
corner post short distance below the
caves There was no tightening arrest
er, or other appliance connected with
TINS guy wire or with the telephone
wires IN that vicihity, to divert powerful
currents to the earth at the time of
thunder storms. Immediately before
me 1lrc on the morning of Aug. 90, 1903
a thunder shower came up in the vi
clhlty of the plaintiffs buildings. The
rain fall was light, but it was followed
by discharge of lightning OF extra
ordinary violence. though but a single
flash of light was observed
The board on the corner post at tho
northeast corner of tho barn was newly
spit from a point a little above the lag
screw, to which the guy wire was az
tached. downward nearly to the sill
When first seen the fire was in this corner
of the barn directly beneath the point
where the guy Wire was connected with
ii, and there was no indication that the
barn was struck by lightning at any 9th
er point.
In view Of the admitted limitations of
human knowledge respecting the laws Of
electricity and the immeasurable poten-
tial Of a lightning discharge the opinion
Daily Kennebec journal., 1906-04-11

of electricians in regard to its possibii-
with the same confidence as of the more
exact sciences; and in view of the mani
fest effects of the lightning upon the tel
ephone poles and the corner board of the
barn in this case, it is the opinion of th.,
court that the evidence warranted the
jury in following the conclusions Of these
experts who believed that the destructive
spark was conveyed to the corner of the
barn by the telephone wires, in prefer
ence to those who testify that the barn
was struck by a branch of a lightning
bolt discharged directly from the clouds.
Some of the testimony would seem to
rest upon a mlsapprehension of the exact
nature and purpose of a lightning arrest
er. 1t is fairly to be inferred from all
the evidence that it is a device which
might more appropriately be termed n
lightning diverter, since the Office of it is
not to arrest the lightning, but to divert
it from the wiring by the earth In this
alternative path short air space is left
between two plates introduced directly
between the line and the earth This air
space is an effectual insulatOr for the
normal current over the telephone wire
but the violent surges of q. lightning cur
rent are said to leap over the air gap and
pass to ground.
If the plaintf's theory is correct that
it was not safe or suitable construction
to connect the guy wire with the barn
without a lightning arrester or circuit
Abreaker, the evidence warranted a find
ing by the jury that the defendant com
pany did not exercise reasonable and or
dinary care in establishing it's line at the
point in question.
If the defendants theory is correct that
it is utterly impracticable to divert light
ming currents frcm such a wire to the
earth by means Of any inshlators or cur
rent-breakers hitherto devised il cannot
be said to be manifest error on the part
of the jury to find that such a wire
should not have been attached to the
barn ut all, and that in making such a
connection the defendant if possessed of
scientific knowledge to sustain its theory.
did not act with proper regard for the
rights Of the plaintiff and the safety OF
her property.
The conclusion accordingly is that the
entry must be
Mot'"n and exceptions overruled.
