High Praise for Senator Shaw

From Antioch Items to Red Springs Citizen.
Senator Shaw's article in The
Robesonian has the right ring
about it. We believe that all
must agree that he made us a
faithful and judicious represen-
tative. All who knew Pres"
Shaw didn't expect anything else
from him. Whether it is wis
dom or not to adopt the rule
(that the man adopted when his
wife was dying as related by
Senator Shaw, we won't argue;
we need men to represent US who
feel the Importance of their po-
sition, not men whose height OF
ambition is to be a Representa-
tive. Senator Shaw has beer
faithful in this trust. We hope
to see committed to his trus
even greater responsibilities anc
to see him in a higher Senate
chamber than that of North Car
olina. We admire him as a pri
vate citizen, and as a public of
fetal he is a man whose moralit.
and integrity and honesty cal
never be questioned.

BACK TO REASON.
A Change in Sentiment in Re-
gard to Suits Against Rail-
roads.

Charity and Children
1t is no uncommon thing for a
railroad to win a verdict in a
damage suit in these latter DAYS.
1t was not ever thus. Aforetime
juries' were prompt to reward the
plaintiff, no matter how feeble
his cause nor how slight his in
jury. We recall a verdict in fa-
vor of woman who was COM
PEELED to alight from a train at
Salisbury that did not stop at
Concord, her destination, and
wait twenty minutes for a train
that did. Luckily for justice
and decency, Judge Tom Nc
Neill, an honest Scotchman,
promptly set the verdict aside
and threw a bouquet or two at
the jury. Another man sought
and received a large reward from
the Southern Railway because he
was punched in the eye by the
umbrella of another man as they
both scrambled to board a train.
Two or three thrifty citizens who
tried this short road to wealth
have received a setback by
juries who kept their consciences,
and it looks like a sentiment has
been set in motion that is likely
to make the business of going to
law for enrichment rather un-
profitable. We are not fighting
any battles for the railroads.
They are sinners in many things,
and because of their foolish poll.
cies create prejudice in the public
mind against themselves, but the
scandalous graft that people have
practiced in rushing into courts
with frivolous damage suits
ought not to be tolerated. We
notice the fear expressed by
some of our papers that there is
danger that we will swing to the
other extreme and allow the rail
roads to go unpunished for negli
gence. That is hardly probable
When, because of a plain disre
gard of its obligation to protecr
it's passengers, a railroad infict:
Injury it ought to be, and will be
punished in the courts. Human
life is too sacred a thing to bt
trified with, and when by shee
carelessness a railroad puts life il
jeopardy it ought to be COMPEL
ed to pay for it; but that is one
thing, and being held up by citi
zens for sins it never committee
is quite another.
