encourages saving. It furnishes the 
means at hand to put small savings to 
productive uses; and educate#; men and 
women to the use of capital by leaving 
the management and care of it in their 
own hands. The collective use of all the 
individual contributions constitutes the 
community capital fund ; but the well or¬ 
ganized co-operative system may use its 
credit to secure the use of extra capital if 
it can use it at a profit. The use of 
the resources of a community for the 
benefit of its own members is one of the 
great merits of the co-operative system. 
It must be remembered, however, that 
there is no magic or Aladdin lamp in the 
co-operative system. It cannot produce 
something from nothing. It must have 
recourse to the products of land. It 
must have capital, and it must have labor. 
It must save to provide capital. It must 
constantly and persistently save to in- 
creas^the capital fund. It simply util¬ 
izes all these requisites of production in 
the members of a community; and equit¬ 
ably divides the fruits of production be¬ 
tween the members in proportion to the 
contribution each makes to the collective 
result. 
The co-operative system is a moral in¬ 
stitution. It not only does not expect 
something for nothing, but it looks for 
nothing, and takes nothing by force or 
otherwise that does not belong to it. It 
has no sympathy with those who would 
appropriate the property of others to 
their own uses. It respects the property 
rights of others and expects the protec¬ 
tion of society for its members and its 
property. One of its great merits is the 
fact that it provides its own capital by 
individual saving and personal absti¬ 
nence from consumption and waste, and 
assembles small individual savings into a 
productive fund to be used for the good 
of all. 
A Case of Damages 
All sorts of questions are put up to us. 
some of them being very difficult if not 
impossible to settle without full personal 
knowledge of all conditions. In one case 
just reported, a young man was' killed 
while riding on a trolley car operated 
by a large traction company. There 
is some question in the evidence as to 
whether this company was negligent or 
not. A coroner’s jury decided that death 
was due to carelessness, but other testi¬ 
mony has since developed which would 
dispute that. This young man was em¬ 
ployed by a large manufacturing company, 
and this concern offered to look after the 
legal part of the case in order to collect 
damages if possible. With this meager 
information, the parents of the boy come 
to us for advice as to how to proceed in 
order to collect damages from this trac¬ 
tion company. It is of course impossible 
for us or anyone else at such a distance 
to give positive advice. The mere fact 
that a person was injured by a moving 
vehicle does not prove that the company 
was guilty of negligence. I'he State in 
which the accident occurred has a law re¬ 
quiring that no damages be paid except 
in a case where the company is negligent 
and there was no contributory negligence 
on the part of the victim. In order to 
make a case against this traction com¬ 
pany, it would be necessary to produce 
witnesses who could prove that it was 
negligent. Statements made by this young 
man before his death could not be used 
as evidence in such a case. Those big 
traction companies are obliged to defend 
so many damage suits that they have ft 
great staff of able attorneys and claim 
agents, and they have the advantage in 
most of these cases. The people would 
probably be bettor off in the end to ac¬ 
cept a smaller amount than they ex¬ 
pected to get from a jury, because a big 
company like this has the advantage. 
The manufacturing company for which 
this young man worked is entirely relia¬ 
ble and their attorneys are able and hon¬ 
orable. We think it would be better to 
take their advice and be guided in a case 
of this kind by what they think would be 
the safest way to settle. It is very ex¬ 
asperating to be obliged to settle for les« 
than you feel is due you. In many cases 
it is impossible to get more than would 
be agreed upon out of court.
