Railroad building is ata stand still in Arkansas, and why Have we all the railroads that the country needs? Hardly can this be truthfully said, when we have vast areas where the wild life has never been awakened or disturbed by the rumbling wheels of a train or the shrlll whistle of locomotive. The trouble of stand-still in rail- road construction arises from an. other cause. It is the death dealing verdicts rendered against them by courts in personal ln- iurv. cases. When 1t is under stood that in nearly every case, whether the road is to blame, or not. when some person gets ln- iured by a train, damages are invariably assessed away up into the thousands of dollars against the railroad company, is 1t any wonder that the capitalists should ponder long and we'll be- fore putting their money into new railroad. enterprises? Rail- road people ought to have tn e same rights as others, but they do not have.
 An accident might happen on an ordinary road wagon would be regarded as an unavoidable cir cumstance, although there might be ever so much negli- gence on the part of. the driver, but the same accident on train, without negligence, would be magnified into an enormous out rage by some smooth talking personal injnry lawyer, and a jury of the country, with solemn mien, would bring in a verdict of $25, ,00O against the railroad. If the railroads were the only ones to suffer it might not be so bad, although it is not just to punish a railroad for what it cannot help, but the rail- roads are not alone injured. The whole country is, indirectly, af- fected by these ruinous, and in many cases, outrageous virdicts. They not only have the tendency to i'm. pede railroad building, but they absolutely do so. An undevel- oped country, like ours, needs more railroads to assist the peo- pie in marketing the products
 but these we cannot expect SC long as the universal habit pre- vails for the juries and courts o1 the country to levy such heavy tribute upon them, as has beer the case in recent years.
 If the agents, servants or em. ployes of railroads are reckless
 careless or wantonly negligent
 reasonable compensation should
 be given to those injured; bu
 courts and juries should learn tt
 discriminate between a grossly
 negligent and an unavoidable act
