James Humphrey. candidate for Railroad
@ Commissioner.

Generally known as Judge Hum
phrey, by reason of his long and
honorable career on the bench, is
one Of Kansas best known and
honored citizens. His appointment
as a member of the first board of
railroad commissioners Kansas ever
had, by Gov. Click, first brought him
into general prominence, and his in.
depreciation of he law. then, fresh
from the legislature, and which was
not intended TO interfere with freight
rates, was such as to give the people
much relief from exhorbitans rates
aud unjust Determinations. In fact,
since his retirement from the board.
after eight years service thereon, the
board of rail DAD commissioners has
been almost an ornamental body. 1t
was Judge Humphrey who heard and
considered complaints as to rates and
determinations, ordered the com.
panies to- change and they obeyed.
Not only did he determine as to the
particular complaint made, but he
would make an order correcting the
ratio all along the line of the road
complained against. So persistent
was be in his construction of the law
to the end that it might mean some.
thing for the people, that he elected
the enmity of the railroads of the
state, and they finally succeeded in
having him left off the board, and in
fear of the precedents he had es.
tlblished, the railroads secured cha ny.
es in the law. His reports and de.
cisions furnish very interesting read
log now, in these times of rate leg
islation agitation.
Judge Humphrey was born in Eng
land 70 years ago, but does not look
day more than fifty. OF the 50
years he has lived in the United
States, 40 Of them have been spent in
Kansas, aud 43 of them in the prac-
tee Of law. He was judge of the
district court about ten years, and
now enjoys large and extended
practice in his profession, at Junction
City, where be has lived so long. No
man in Kansas is so well equipped
for good service as railroad com.
missioner and Kansas no doubt means
to elect him.

it home and dined of it.
