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.

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

The Geer methods, on the otver hand,

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

cal agriculturalist, the Hon. Joseph

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.
