established the precedent which all
Judges in that state would have to fol-
low in similar damage suits. Ordinarily
the case would have ended there. But
railroad attorneys are resourceful-and
often INSCRIPTIONS. There was one
way in which this decision could be
changed in favor of the railroad The
fact that this way was one of darkness
and evil did not deter NJ. j Gordon,
local attorney for the railroad and for
merly Chief Justice of the State, from
choosing it. He prepared another opln-
ion, changing the law to suit his power
full client, and submitted it to w. r.
Begg, chief counsel for Mr.. Hills rail-
road, for approval. 1t was approved.
Then Gordon got Judge Root to substi-
tute this opinion secretly for the one
which Root himself had handed down
as the opinion of the court. The opin-
ion prepared by the railroad attorneys
thus became the law of the state.
The bare recital of these facts must
come with a shock to all decent, hon
est-minded, law-abiding citizens. 1t
should arouse every patriotic impulse.
For it reveals an enemy that is striking
at the very vitals Of our country. De-
stroy the integrity of the Tribunals of
Justice and democracy becomes a myth.
The men who would do so are traitors;

Government Printed Envelopes.


Coon Rapids ua.l Enterprise.
The Sioux City Journal rises to re-
mark to the country editors, who com
plain about the government printing
cards on envelopes in competition with
their business, that the government
does 80, not to compete or injure their
business, but to facilitate the delivery
of letter mail. But the result is the
same as though intended to injure the
publishers business, and so, what S the
difference? But purchasers of govern
ment-printed envelopes are business
men who are intelligent enough to di-
rect their letters plainly, and it is rare
thing land the writer speaks from a
twelve years experience as postmaster)
when businessman letter is miscar-
ried or returned. Those who do illegibe
scribbling are persons who are not able,
or who do not care, to buy government
envelopes in 500 lots, and it's this class
with whom postmasters and mail clerks
and the post Office department have
their trouble. Any postmaster will testi-
| fy that letters returned by the depart
ment from the dead letter Office and
postal clerks are from this class of pat
rons, not business men, except in rare
cases, who buy printed en-
velopes. The Journals position is not
we'll taken. The post Office department
is giving the country press shameful
deal in its unnecessary competition with
it. If it charged reasonable price for
its printing the country editor would
not have as much reason to complain,
but to do printing for nothing, greatly
demoralizing the country printers bust
ness, is unfair, unjust and wholly with
out justification or excuse. And yet,
though treating the country press thus
shabhily and wrongfully, it expects the
same press to publish free, for the bene-
fit of the department, the unclaimed
| letter list from week to week. The
country press is entitled to fairer con
sideration and honorable treatment.

in bin amounting to about $50, 900 last
week, and is now engaged in building a
