COURTS AND UNFAIR vERD1cTs.

The right of a court to reduce the
amount of verdict is based upon
the theory that juries are sometimes
influenced by passion or prejudice.
But this right should not be stretched
into a usurpation by the court of the
function of the jury, and when this
occurs the right of trial by jury has
been definitely impaired
The amount of the verdict is the
essence of the verdict. What good
does 1t do a suitor to obtain a judg-
ment unless the judgment is allowed
to stand? Yet the courts refuse to
permit juries to fix the amount of
the verdict unless the amount COM
ports with their ideas of justice. Af-
ter a litigant has run the gauntlet of
the courts and their delays, the ap-
pellate court will finally say:
You won, and won fairly, but you
got too much"
The litigant naturally inuuires:
why didn't you tell me you wouldn't
let the verdict of the jury stand? If
l had obtained a verdict for less than
YOU thought l was entitled to, would
NOu nave raised IL lie KNOWS the
court wouldn't, and he naturally loses
respect for court which protects the
rights of his opponent, but not his
own.
If it were not for this, juries would
not render verdicts for 100000 or
$4,000 for a life. Such verdicts are
often rendered in the belief that the
appellate courts will reduce them.
There are, of course, exceptions. In
| 1901 Supreme Court Justice James A.
O'Gorman of New York City, now
| United States senator, set aside a ver-
dict for $500 against the Metropoli-
! tan steel Railway company for the
death of a 5-year-old boy. Justice
! O'Gorman pointed out that the fun
eral expenses and other special dam
ages proved in the case amounted to
| $1S1. leaving but little more than
500 as compensation for the loss. He
said such a verdict shocked the moral
sense.-C. p. Connolly in Everybody
Magazine.

woodrow Wilson's speech of ac-
ceptance was typical of the governor
1t is a simple
Governor Wilson's sincere expression
Speech of of the political
Acceptance. views of a man
who has been
nominated for the presidency and who
realizes fully the responsibility that
IS upon him. He knows that if he is
elected the country will expect much
of him. and that it will be no light
task to make the currents of our eco
nomic life again run free in natural
channels and to accomplish such
change with little disturbance.
AS was expected by everyone the
tariff was made the principal subject
of discussion. 1t is the democratic
view that the idea of a protective
tariff is wrong. 1t is taxation for
special privilege and means benefits
for the few at the expense of the
many. The policy is particularly vici
GUS when it is applied as it has been,
by men who are no longer bent mere
ly on upbuilding industries but on
repaying certain interests for favors
shown the republican party. If the
protective policy was ever needed it
assuredly is no longer needed because
our Infant industries" have grown to
such proportions that the problem is
not how to strengthen them but how
TO curb them.
But while Wilson would do away
with the policy of tariff for special
privilege and would open the doors to
the competitor of the world he wants
to bring about the change in a way
that will help the country and not
hurt it. This is shown by the follow
ing paragraph from his acceptance
speech:
I'VE do not ignore the fact that the
business of country like ours is ex-
ceedingly sensitive to changes in leg
islation Of this kind. 1t has been
built up, however, inadvisedly, upon
tariff schedules written in the way
have indicated, and it's foundation
must not be too radically or too sud-
denly disturbed When we act we
should act with caution and prudence
like men who know what they are
about, and not like those in love with
a theory. 1t Is obvious that the
changes we make should be made
only at such rate and in such
way as will least interfere with the
normal and healthful course Of COM
merce and manufacture. But we
should not on that account act with
timidity as il we did not know our
minds for we are certain Of our
ground and our object There should
be an immediate revision and it
should be downward, unhesitatingly
and STEADILY downward"
That statement inspires confidence
in the judgment and the patriotism

BRINGS WIFE AS STOWAWAY
Appears en- Board Steamship After
Vessel Steams From Daiquiri--
Husband One Of Crafts Crew.

Baltimore, Md.-Cool and possessed,
and just 20 years old, Mrs. C. l..
Boggs, an American, was arraigned
before immigration Commissioners
Stump for being a stowaway on board
the steamer Remembrance, which ar
rived at Sparrows Point from Dali
quiri She was liberated
She was accompanied by her hus-
band, who had been a passenger on
board the Remembrance as one of the
crew. Boggs proved that he was an
American citizen, and as his wife was
the spouse Of a citizen she received
her freedom. The two left the immi-
grafton Offices and disappeared as
mysteriously as the wife had hid in
the hold of the vessel.
The Remembrance steamed from
Daiquiri after taking on a cargo Of
iron ore. Boggs had signed as one of
the crew at Colon, Panama, and it is
thought that he then assisted his wife
aboard the vessel and secreted her in
the hold.
The vessel was two days out from
Daiquiri when Mrs, Boggs appeared on
deck, and Captain. Nesbitt was at
loss for words to ask whence she had
come. When men are found on board
vessels illegally they are forced to
scrub decks and do other arduous la
Dor, but Mrs. Boggs walked the decks
throughout the voyage watched the
crew work and enjoyed the salt air of
