COUSTt OFFICIAL TAPER. 4 iSATTZRGF HEALTH IS THERE NO REMEDY Tho Mist office ha Just completed the printing of small brief In the Bupreme Court In the case of Ervln Soffert . the Northern Pacific Rail road Company. This case originated In the Justice's Court for Union pre elnct, and was brought by Mr. SeRert to recover damages for the killing of a cow by one of the defendant's loco motives, at Deer Island station. The trial before the justice resulted In a verdict for the plaintiff. If this had been a case between man and man It would have ended there, and the loser would hav paid the damages assessed. But It was a case between farmer of small means and a great corpora tion, and, as the corporation's lawyers are hired by the year, the cost of carrying the case up was much smaller In fact, and Infinitely smaller by com parison, than It would be to the farm er. So the case was carried to the Circuit Court, and. after a fair trial. Judgment again rendered In favor of the farmer. But the corporation Is not satisfied. It has put the farmer to a great deal of expense probably much more than the cow Is worth but that Is not enough. It cares nothing for the small sum Involved In this particular case: but It Intends to show the farm ers that It will not pay them to sue the railroad company for the loss of cattle: but that It w(Jl be to their financial Intereft to accept such com pensation as may be tendered them, and. If they feel sore about It, stay at home and nurse their sore spots. So the case Is again appealed. This time It goes to the highest court or the State, and It goes on law points not rn questions of fact. If a reversal Is secured It may come back for re-trial without prejudice, and then the whole matter will have to be fought over again, to the amusement of the com- MKT t with treat financial loss to the farmer. If the Judgment of the rvcuit Court is upheld the farmer re- uvers his damages and cost, and must pay his attorney's fee and his own personal costs in loss of time, etc which will probably amount to more than the cost to the corporation. This Is law, but it lacks a good many mile of being justice. It gives to wealth the power of oppression and makes the people powerless against the corporations. There should be a remedy. Some where there should be power to assess punitive damages wherever an appeal la made on technical or frivolous grounds for the mere sake, as appears In this case, of making litigation so burdensome to the poor that they will relinquish their Just claims rather than to bear the expense of defending them aealnst great corporations or wealthy individuals. 0.

FARMERS WITH THE PRESIDENT. The following la an extract from an article In the Philadelphia North American, reproduced In the American Grange Bulletin: "The mighty railroad Interests which arc antagonising the President In his demand for reform of railroad abuses may read with dismay that all the farmers are with the President. The railroads have almost Immeasur able Dower. They are strong In money, they exert great Influence over their wage earners and their stock holders: they are skilled at corrup tion of legislators; they have their men In swarms In Congress, and they may, In a measure, control the press. "But here Is a mightier force. Here Is nearly half the voting power of the nation; here Is the largest of all bodies of shippers by railroad, and here Is an influence absolutely beyond the reach of corruption, and, from the nature of things, irresistibly Impelled to express devotion to the requirements of fair play. The National Grange has formally seconded the President's demand for a square deal for every man' on the part of the railroads, and It haa sent Its message to the White House to make stronger the resolution In the soul of the people's great leader that this thing shall be indeed brought to pass. To Hurt Nobody. "The farmers desire to hurt nobody; they do not wish to depreciate rail road property, or to reduce wages, or to enforce the cutting of dividends. They ask for nothing more than that every shipper shall pay the same amount for precisely similar service under exactly similar conditions. And that Is all the President asks for. The recalcitrant and dishonest common carriers will do well to heed the eager and firm conjunction of these two forces. What the President seeks for, with the united farmers resolutely sus taining and approving him. Is sure to formulate Itself Into concrete fact. The elections of this very month of Novem ber demonstrate what Is the power of an aroused and determined people, bold for righteousness." It is said that T. T. Geer Is aspiring to be Governor again. There is noth- A GREAT DISCOVERY. ' A reporter on the Oregonian haa dis coveredor thinks he has that under the direct primary law Democrats or Republicans can take a hand in the nomination of candidates for their op ponents, and by forcing a weak nornl- nee on the opposing ticket, thereby weaken It at tie polls. This would be done, according to the reporter, by a system of scratching. A Democratic voter, having been handed a Demo cratic orimanr ballot, would scratch off the name of the Democratic candi date and Insert that of the Republican are nearly all farmer in tlii part ol Orwwii, but we like the U. A. U. mem- oils. Rainier Review. Right you are, Brother ITmbaogh. Thevare not the method of I lie ordi nary ring politician or bos, but they auit the people. If they are applied to the political field they will result in a fine crop ol harmony and Republican success. lr. J sine wiinyeonioe nas been snreadinit llie O. A.

Purine this time he ha fitted for their life pursuit hundred of youiiR men who have taken their place among the most progressive and intelligent farmer. They are scattered all over the State a few of them being located in Columbia County, and whenever you find one of those O. A. C. boys he I working lor Dr. James Withycontbe. The Geer methods, on the otver hand, we do not believe will commend them selves, air. Geer hesitates too long be fore deciding what kind of a crop he will plant, and we are opined that he will find his renatorial and gubernatorial seed have become so mixed that they will hardly be productive. In fact, It may be doubted whether the real owner of the larut ever intended them to come to fruition. It was probably the purpose to use Uiem as fertilisers for the owner's senatorial crop, w hich is being planted in Portland bv that distinguished politi cal agriculturalist, the Hon. Joseph Simon, w ho has won a deserved reputa tion a an advocate of deep plowing stnl thorough cultivation. In other words, Joe found that T. T. might interfere with a Portland candi date for United State Senator, so lie had him run for the gubernatorial nomina tion. O. A. C. method are the best. Some cuckoo up in Eastern Oregon ha darted a scheme to raise $SU),O0O a a wedding present for Alice Roosevelt, daughter of the President, who i to be married to Congressman Longwortli on February 14th. Miss Roosevelt recently returned from Asia with about 120,1)00 worth of gifts, and the President is a man of considerable wealth, amply able to give hi danghter a handsome dowrv. Such toadying to the reigning family i decidedly un-American. A SOVEL 1MKTSE5T. The searcher alter curiosities In the line of pnhlic documents can well afford to pav far vslue for the following, the original of which is in the poe.ion f the prtr D ti,e m. e.

The document is signed by the p-dice judge, who first referred the mstter lo the citv attorney and acted nnon his advice. The entertainment was given by the Ladies Aid Society of the M. E. Chnrrh. to rsise money lor rhnrch purpose. No one received sny personal financial ! eAt from it. A part of the programme Miss Oral Spencer, who Is stopping In Portland, spent the holiday with tne home folk. Mis Merle Shannnhsn, who is teaching at Mist, came up Sunday and spent Xtuas with friends and relatives. B. P. Tracy wa out to Clatskauie lust week for a load of merchandise for II. G. Downing, Win. Mellinger, who has been at work near Yankton the past season, came home Saturday for the holidays. Mis Listle Karly, who is teaching in Yamhill County, caine home Saturday for a week's visit with relatives, Henry Nelson and wife, of Deep River, are visiting wilh Mrs. Nelson's mother, Mrs. M. J. Powell. I. R. Dow and daughter Jutiet, of Mist, spent Christmas with John G. Pritule and family, and attended the big dinner and entertainment by the Grange Christ mas day and night. Mr. Dow's many old frieuds her were glad to give him a hearty handshake. Quarterly meeting was held last Satur day and Sunday by the local pastor, Rev, J. O. Coleman. Presiding Elder Maurrr could not be here on account of the sick ncs of one of hi children. Road districts 14 and 13 have each held meetings this week, and by good major!' ties each voted a special tax of six mills (or permanent improvement. This, in our opinion, is Mic right thing to do, for while there arc those w' o think other wise, and while it may be true that sum of the work the past year lias not been of the best aud perhaps not the cheapest, yet if comparisons are made with our roads now and what they were evn two years ago, there has been a decided bet terment in their coudition. Vcrnoma Grange No. 30o had an old fashioned Christmas dinner last Monday. It was quite interesting to watch the big baskets come iuto town. The dinner was spread in the hall over K. R. Thorp's store, and the tables were more than loaded with good things to eat. and while there was a very large attendance of lirangers, their families and friends, there were more than twelve basket of eatables left after all bad partaken. Our Nehav lem women, though, are proverbial in their bounty. In the evening an enter tainment consisting of recitations, music and a word dri!l by seven young ladies was given at the Muckle Hall to a very large audience. The day's program was concluded with a big Christmas tree. bending with its weight of presents, which were distributed by Santa Cuius (J. S. Mow) and a number of assistants verybody present being remembered. XOTH'K OK INTNNTION TO AITI.Y KOK I.iqlOH Ut-KNSM. Tiisll prmuisenuesmeil! Vmi and sach l rim llt lass m.lUa that t.. K.

Of course, if this were possible, it Is something that no decent or honest man would do. The best men in the two great parties should be the candi dates, and no good citizen desires to see corrupt or unworthy men given position on either ticket But there Is no cause for alarm, as the direct primary law does not permit any auch practice. To secure a place on either primary ticket a petition must be presented to the county clerk requesting that for Illustration John Doe's. name be placed upon the Repub lican or Democratic ticket, and no name can be placed upon either ticket except .in compliance with this pro vision, and no name can be put upon a ticket by the voter.

In some European countries all citi zens, city and country, have free de livery, and postal departments there make large profits, though their charges In general are lower than those established In the United States.
