GAR COMPANY LOSES
DAMAGE SUIT APPEAL
Judgment for W. A. Morgan for
Alleged Assault by Motor
man Is Approved.

The Judgment for $1,000 damages given
William A. Morgan against the Capital
Traction Company in his suit for dam
ages arising out of an alleged assault
by a motorfnan. who, he asserted,
dragged him TO the front" OF a crowd
ed car in which he was a passenger,
was affirmed today by the District
Court Of Appeals.
In an opinion written by Associate
Justice Robb the rights Of passengers
on crowded street cars are defined as
follows: THE defendant, having taken
on more than It could seat. a by no
means uncommon occurrence, had no
right to move those passengers about
as pawns on a chess board. In other
words, the plaintiff had right to as
sumo a position in the aisle and remain
there, unless by so doing he prevented
other passengers from passing there-
through"
Morgan alleged in his suit that "after
he surrendered his seat to lady he
handle on the first cross seat near the
front: He declared that people were
hanging on the staps In front and be-
hind him hanging on the brass handles
Of the seats, but he maintained there
was room for passengers to pass him.
He acknowledged that he refused to
obey the motorman's command, up
'front.'" and declared, "the motorman
jumped back and grabbed him around
the neck and dragged him to the front,
and said You win stand there. won't
your"
The case was taken TO the Court Of
Appeals by the company on the grounds
that the lower court erred in allowing
certain instructions sought by the plain
tiff, and the opinion of the higher court
affirms the action of the court below,
and approves the Judgment.

Canter Republican:
Since our last issue we have
had q lengthy interview with an
other of the non-partisan league or
GAMERS working in this county,
and we are not ready to believe that
the new organization is going to
furnish the financial and material
salvation expected. though we will
admit that this organizer is succeed
ing in enrolling q large number Of
farmers. HIS list last night
showed almost sixty signatures in
the southeastern part Of the county.
Our impression is that the hackers
of the project are too thoroughly
Socialistic to make 1t strictly non
, artisan proposition. and with them
once in control of the legislative
bodies, including tn governor,
lieutenant governor. the senate and
the house of representatives. the
possibility Of handing the Socialists
all the appointive Offices of the state
are too great to be strictly nun-par-
tisan.
When the farmers get ready to
organize and stick together there is
little Of political nature that they
cannot dominate. and with the bus.
mess organizations they already
have the Union. the Grange and
the Equity-cnuId formulate their
own organizatinDs in each precinct,
county and state, without furnish
ing soft jobs and good salaries for
men who have never farmed and
therefore cannot fully appreciate
the needs or the farmer.
Heretofore Socialism. Ia our OBJ.
servation at least, meant the voting
the Socialist ticket regardless o.
hope of success. and just how the,
can depart from that rule now t.
foster non-partisan proposition
unless it has for it's object the as
sistauce of a Socialistic cause, is tt

for membership in the organization
may at first appear an insignificant
matter, but our organizer informant
claims his league will enroll ninety
per cent. of the farmers of the state,
or approximately about 10000.
With these at six dollars each,
sum will be raised that if the far
mers had it themselves they could
build terminal elevator. pay the
bonded indebtedness of the state,
establish mutual hail company, or
do many other things of advantage
to them as class.
In the matter Of giving the mem
bers Of the league subscription to
Pearson $ magazine, no extravagant
bargain is thus being secured. The
regular subscription price is 81. so
per year. The Republican or any
other news agency can get it
through sume of the larger news
agencies for eighty cents, and pos
sibIy less in greater numbers.
AS to future publications the
league may issue, this is too mat.
ter of considerable uncertainty and
questionable value.
We are not ready to admit that
the farmer is so woefuly ignorant
as to need to give any set of men
$500 600 90 to look after his business
in North DAKOTA.
Az before stated, we give the far
mer credit for knowing what he
wants. but he should also know Who
is getting his money and where il
goes to. Once he knows 'hal his
action is matter for him alone IL
