Here are two jury awards in damage suits against railways: Vor killing # woman seventy years old x Co Vor Killing # Jersey cow two years old... ety: The tiret impulse is to grow angry over the tragic satire of the contrast, Six cents for a human life! Néarly six hundred times six cents for the life of a mileh cow! But is there no explanation of the con- trast that will enable the gentlemen of the sixcent jury to retain their reputations for jeanity and sensibility? What was the issue before these juries? In each case it was a commercial question pore and simple and absolutely livoreod from sentiment, The law put this question to each jury: What financial loss have the suing survivors of the deccdent sustained through the death? Suppese that the jury in the case of the woman who had earned nothing fo» vears and never again could earn anything had brought ina verdict for several thousand dollars, Would that verdict have been trio ov false, a just or an unjust answer to the question ? Tf the jury had assessed heavy damages many people would have said: “That's right, The railways ought to be made to suf fer for their criminal disregard of human life.’” But as a mattor of fact would not such or ras TWO CONTRAST. 1NG DAMAGH VERDIOTS, ey Peetnee ene: aor d A Laon a verdict have been an insult to human dig: BUNBATH TH ity?

It has a material valué, a breadewinning value, « value as the commercial asset of a family, detinite, easily ealoulated, a mutter for the adjudication of civil courts in certain cases, Then it has another value—a value not ealoulable in dollars, not depen- dent upon earning capacity—a value in terms of love and affection How can any judge or any jury arrive at a money equivalent for this value? It may be nothing, It may be for one or several human beings a4 immeasurable as the stardepths, because the extinction of that life left the whole world dark and desert for him or her or them, Ix it not a travesty on bereavement, is it not an insult to the majesty of the human individual to attempt to calculate this value in dollars? And is not a disposition to tol erate such degrading estimates a disposition to cheapen and degrade and desecrate sacred human lifet In the ease of this woman of seventy years two actions at law were provided, one of them mandatory, ‘T'he first or diseretionary recourse was to a civil court for the assessment of the damage through the loss of this woman as an earner, a8 a money getter The other, the Mankind has recognized as it has advanced in civilization that a human being, irradiating the light and heat of love and affection, has a value not measurable in money. Hence the rise and growth of the criminal law, Under that law an offender against the person of a human being must be arraigned and made to answer for his of ‘fonse with his life or his liberty, Tho barbarous codes of the old Teutonic peoples fixed a money BH CALOULATED IN DOLLARS, Gene--o-e-ererenorenoree > oe te en ee fon CANNOT | mandatory action, was a criminal action, Dollars | fad 0 BEEF , PORK ANO MUTTON ADVANCED E CENT A POUND ha THE CHIGAGO PACKER) IT wiet nev THEM $39,000,000 A YEAR ner pail now?
