Miller Grain Co. vs
Rock Island
In a suit Saturday in Justice
Hamilton's court of the Miller
Grain Co. vs the Rick Island
Railroad the jury returned a
verdict in favor of the plaintiff.
The puit was broupht for dam-
ages of leakage on cars whioh
the grain company had loaded
the grain and consigned to Bime-
point in Toxua. Daring traiibii
there was loakage of several
bushels. At the time sot for trial
G. C. Miller appeared for the
Miller Grain Company and
through their lawyer H. W.
Morgan iibked fur a jury. Tho
railway company failed to 'appear
aud the plaintiff was given judg-
ment. It has been the custom of
tho Rook Island when a suit wab
brought in the justice court not
to appear and when judgment
was given against them to appeal
to the district oourt and let the
oase lay.
In this oase. however the law-
yer for tho defendant called for
a jury and the case being for
only Six Dollars it is impossible
for an appeal to be made to the
higher oourtB as the Oklahoma
statutes say that in a case of less
than twenty dollars when the
oase is tried before a jury there
ia no appeal to the higher oourt.
The Grain Company brought
two more cases before the oourt
the same day and judgment was
given in the same wty. The
lawyer for tho plaintiff asked for
exeoution at onoe whioh was is-
sued by the oourt and a constable
was sent to the depot where he
levied upon the cash drawer.
The next big attraction to be
soon in this oity is that sterling
New England play Along the
Kennobeo" whioh will be given
in all its entirety wealth of rural
aoenery tho great quarry soene

steam engine at work.
On Which Roy Hoffman Sub-
mits His Candidacy For U.S.
Senator fo the New State
I am a candidate boforo tho
primaries for tho office- of Un'.ted
States senator.
In that connection a statement
of my views upon some questions
which are now engaging tho at-
tention of tho publio is duo the
people of the new Btato.
I am a demoorat of the school
that bolioves tho will of tho maj
ority is the safest guido for tho
nation. I boliove that the major
ity may sometimes go wrong but
that tho ohanoo of the minor-
ity go i n g w r o n g i a so
much greater that tho safest
thing for tho publio is to follow
implicitly the rule of tho majority.
The people will aot right it thoy
know tho facts. I therefore be-
lieve in the return of all powor to
the people. In late years power
has boon arrogated by certain
public corporations anu mon a
polioy whioh is un-democratio
and thorefore dangorouB.
Our constitutional convention
has performed one of its noblest
works by plaoing in tho constitu-
tion tho imiatiye and referendum
thuB guaranteeing in perpetuity
to our people the power of direct
legislation.
The right of tho people to con
trol every monopoly inoluding
railroads coal mines snd pipe
lines is inherent.
Ic is the right and duty of the
people to render evqry publio em-
ployment safe and sanitary.
Wo should have primary no-
minations for tho selection of all
candidates for office.
Free transportation U on 3 of
tho moat subtle out none the less
potent forms of official bribery
We should have Btruigent anti-
puss Jaws making it a crime for
one man to give or another re-
ceive a pa8P except he bo an
employe ot tho person giving the
pass.
Wo should have a ballot law
enabling every citizen to cai t his
vote and have it counted us it
was plainly meant to be without
'cohnionlity and confusion and
withoutthe necessity of court in-
tervention. I am opposed to rebates and
discrimination and believe our
country Bhould not tolerate a
tribute levied upon its oommerce
to support speculation and pay
interest on fiotitious iosues of
Btook and bonds.
The government should super-
vise and control issues of rail-
road and publio service corpora-
tion stocks and bonds and tho
interstate oommeroe commission
and Btate commission should be
vested with power to asoerta n
the true value of railroads based
upon the cost of reproducing
them in order that a basis for
taxation and the fixing of reason
able rates may be reaohed.
With thiB to work from just rates
and a two-oent fare will beoome
a roality. and every dollar in-
vested in such seourities bear its
proper share of the burdenB of
government. The power of fed-
eral courts to grant injunotiona
in suoh oases ia a very dangerous
and unsatisfactory expedient.
The machinery of our interstate
commeroe commission iB so cum-
brous complicated and re rote
that our people do not regard it
as an instrument of juBtioe The
punishment now provided for
