Christian Science And Religious Liberty, Edward W. Dickey
Christian Science And Religious Liberty, Edward W. Dickey
Michigan Law Review
Prominent among the expressions of religious thought in this country in recent years is that of Christian Science. Its teaching in regard to the healing of disease without any material agencies has called forth many comments on the question of religious liberty. As it has attracted to it a large and ever increasing number of intelligent and law-abiding citizens, all over the country, and as there have been several efforts to partially or totally restrict its practice as a means of healing, by proscriptive legislation, we deem it proper to set forth, in a general way, some of the questions, …

Federal Regulation Of Quarantine, W. E. Walz
Federal Regulation Of Quarantine, W. E. Walz
Michigan Law Review
During the recent excitement in the South caused by the sudden appearance of yellow fever and the consequent recrudescence of the shotgun quarantine an event has happened that might well attract the attention of every thoughtful citizen of the United States: the surrender of a very essential part of the police power of the State of Louisiana to the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service of the Federal Government. made on the plea of absolute necessity and on the principle that self-preservation is nature's first law. The Governor of the State assumed full responsibility for this surrender, and he had, …
Liability For The Unauthorized Torts Of Agents, Wm. R. Vance
Liability For The Unauthorized Torts Of Agents, Wm. R. Vance
Michigan Law Review
No other part of the law of principal and agent is in such intolerable confusion as that which concerns the nature and extent of the liability of the principal for the tortious actions of the agent when done without either actual or apparent authority from the principal. There can be no question as to the liability of the principal for the agent's tort that has been actually authorized or ratified, nor should there be any difficulty in holding the principal liable for such unauthorized torts of his agent as were committed under circumstances that induce a reasonable belief on- the …

War Arbitration And Peace, William Perry Rogers
Michigan Law Review
In examining any question which pertains to the welfare of humanity there are two prominent view points from which to start. One is that of the individual being; the isolated man; the unit of society. The other is that of the mass of mankind; the people as a whole; the corporate organization of states and nations. There are those who believe in a God of nations. They believe He guides their destinies in perils of battle, and in great and dangerous emergencies; but they insist that He has little or nothing to do with the affairs of the individual. Conversely, …
Constitutionality Of The Indiana Anti-Cigarette Law, Thomas A. Sims
Constitutionality Of The Indiana Anti-Cigarette Law, Thomas A. Sims
Michigan Law Review
The recent act of the Indiana General Assembly, known as the "Indiana Anti-Cigarette Law," is the third act of its kind to be passed by a state legislature. In 1896 the State of Iowa enacted a similar law, and the year following, Tennessee did the same. In the years intervening between these acts and the present act similar bills have been introduced in various legislatures over the country but none of them has passed. The passage of the act by the Indiana Assembly has, however, seemingly reawakened the sentiment in favor of such legislation, and in several of the states …

Territorial Expansion Of The Common Law Ideal, John F. Simmons
Territorial Expansion Of The Common Law Ideal, John F. Simmons
Michigan Law Review
It is a truism to declare that we live in an age of evolution; but evolution is only growth and growth, however trite it may seem, is after all an ever-recurring miracle and a miracle implies the marvelous. Among the marvels which appear in the evolution of our times, none is more remarkable than the persistency of the expansion of the ideas and ideals of the Common Law. Before the dawn of history, the records which the tongues of mankind have kept, and which the persistency of certain tribal peculiarities has confirmed, teach us that the races which today dominate …
Uniform State Laws Governing Negotiable Documents Of Title, Francis B. James
Uniform State Laws Governing Negotiable Documents Of Title, Francis B. James
Michigan Law Review
Our forefathers, not foreseeing that the States would some day become one country for commercial purposes, failed to vest in Congress power to regulate all commerce, but limited that body to such as was interstate or foreign. An unexpected (and by many now believed erroneous) decision by the Supreme Court of the United States1 in 1869, that a contract between citizens of different states did not constitute interstate commerce, checked the growth of that unity of law so convenient in the development of industries, national in character. For one hundred years, from 1789, when the Constitution was adopted, to 1890, …

Consideration V Causa In Roman-American Law, Joseph H. Drake
Consideration V Causa In Roman-American Law, Joseph H. Drake
Michigan Law Review
In the case of Mtembre v. Webster, decided recently (19o4) in the Supreme Court of Cape Colony, South Africa, the court (De VILLIERS, J.) says that the causa of Roman-Dutch Law* (oorsaak-German Ursache) has become for all practical purposes equivalent to the valuable consideration of the Common Law., The court says further, 'I can not find that in practice any gratuitous promises except donations-as to which there are especial rules were ever enforced by law.' Sir Frederick Pollock in commenting on this case says, "The power of the Common Law to impose its conceptions on foreign systems when opportunities occur …
Mandamus Against A Governor, Edward J. Myers
Mandamus Against A Governor, Edward J. Myers
Michigan Law Review
The question whether the courts have the power to issue he writ of mandamus against the chief executive of a state to compel the performance of a duty imposed upon him by law, has been answered in two irreconcilable lines of decision-the one being that the Governor is not answerable to the writ to compel the performance of his duty, be it either discretionary or ministerial in its character, the other, that he is liable to the writ to compel the performance of duties purely ministerial in nature. Mr. High, in his work on Extraordinary Legal Remedies, says: "The jurisdiction …

Liability Of Water Companies For Fire Losses Another View, Albert Martin Kales
Michigan Law Review
In the Superior Court of Cook County, Illinois, before Judge Arthur H. Frost, there was recently presented in substance this case: A private corporation furnishing water to a municipality for fire protection had contracted with the town, in consideration of certain fire hydrant rentals, to keep at all times a pressure of water of at least thirty-five pounds per square inch on the water pipes connected with said fire hydrants, and, in case of a fire, to increase, at once, the pressure to forty pounds per square inch. A fire occurred. It was assumed that the water company had notice …
Marriage And Divorce In State And Church, Benjamin Brewster
Marriage And Divorce In State And Church, Benjamin Brewster
Michigan Law Review
When, in 1831, the French philosopher De Tocqueville visited America, he was impressed with the stability of the marriage relation. In his great work, "Democracy in America," he thus sums up the results of his observations: "There is certainly no country in the world where the tie of marriage is so much respected as in America, or where conjugal happiness is more highly or worthily appreciated." And this acute and discerning reasoner makes a further reflection, from his stand-point as one interested in the maintenance of order and stability in the state: "Agitated by the tumultuous passions which frequently disturb …
