SNYDER, our eminent Preceptor and Friend, this volume of the PANDEX is cordially and respectfully dedicated as a tribute to his mature judgment, profound research and learning and the fidelity of purpose with which he has so earnestly, zealously and masterfully instructed us in the fundamental principles of the law, thereby leaving upon each mind an indelible impression of the wis- dom of his legal utterances, which is his most prominent charac- teristic, and as an acknowledgement of the continued kindness and ardent encouragement with which he anxiously urged us on to our best endeavors so that we might become thoroughly and fittingly equipped to enter upon the discharge of the duties of our chosen profession. 5 2 Former' so f Mlf' - 'V ,,w,g5k 512.

Y the year INV '1 mtmber of voun-f men fresh from their alma ffavffca f - f f -'E fff '-is ,gc , t mateis. with tht common purpose of delving deeper into the mysteries of the law. met in an informal wav in the offices of various lawyers in Kansas City to study law together. witl1 the common purpose to better qualify themselves to enter npon the actual practice. 'llhere was no formal organization, bttt from time to time one of the older members of the bar would meet with ns and give an informal talk upon some chosen subject. It was soon seen. however. that little could be accomplished without a well perfected organiza- tion. and it was decided to organize a law school with a systematic course of study and a regular corps of instructors. Une or tivo attempts had previous- ly been made to organize a law school in Kansas City which had resulted in failures. and these failures tended to discourage members of the bar from tak- ing up the work. ljut we prevailed upon some of the members of our bar to actively give their time and co-operation to founding a law school. The first meetings to perfect arrangements were held in the office of .ludge lllack. ,X charter was taken out in Xugust, 1395, and officers decided upon as follows: vludge lf, Xl. lllack. president: llon. tl. ll. Dean and -fudge E. L. Sear- ritt. vice presidents: Mr. XY. l'. llorland. dean: Klr. E.

R. .l. lngraham. Klr. -I. ll. Harkless and -Iudge li. ll. Stiles. During the lifetime of ,ludge lllack he was president of the school, and his earnest devotion to its interests and his strong personality added much to our success. Since the death of -ludge lllack in 1902 Xlr. Dean has been president, and he has most vrortliilv carried on the work. 'llhere have been additions made to the facul- tv from time tt 1 time. and besides those mentioned above there are now lec- ' v i 1 1. turing llon. l, 5. ltotsford, -lndge XX illard l . llall.

'llo meet the growing demands for a higher standard in the law school and legal education generally, the course was extended in IQO2 from a two- vear course to a three-year course. New subjects were added, the old ones ivere lengthened and strengthened so that now we have a well balanced and rounded curriculum that only comes with time and experience. 'llhe first year there being only one class. the total enrollment numbered fifty-seven. while this year there have been one hundred and sixty-one in the three classes. Up to the present time four hundrd and fifty-four graduates have gone forth with our diplomas and well wishes, and out of these many already have their names inscribed in the world of fame. Our students, I think that I can well say, do not receive a mere super- ficial or theoretical legal education, but they are well grounded in the funda- mental principles of the law. and are well qualified to enter upon the actual practice of their chosen profession. About sixty-five per cent of our graduates actively engage in the practice of the law, which is twenty-five per cent in ad- vance of the average number of law school graduates that practice after re- ceiving a diploma. The standing' and merit of our students has been such that we all feel that the school has been a decided success. 'llhe standard which we have attained has not been accomplished with- out a great amount of work and the earnest and conscientious labors of the instructors and the inspiration given by leading members of our bar who have lectured in the school has materially aided in this success. Not only has the bench and bar of Kansas City and this vicinity on both sides of the state line given us their hearty co-operation. but they have put their stamp of approval on the school by sending their sons to us. This is the best evidence that they could give that the school meets with their ap- proval, First and foremost in building up and maintaining a school is a strong and active alumni association. It is the bulwark of success of any school. VVe have been especially fortunate in the character of men that have entered the school, and I wish to include also the ladies that have joined our classes and received diplomas. Our students have not only done good work while in the school, but have been loyal supporters to their alma mater after gradu- ation. They are now practicing in nearly every state in the western part of this country. and some. as well. in the eastern states. but every year at com- mencement time a goodly munber return to the annual reunion, and in addi- tion. classes have separate meetings and banquets during the vear. Our alumni have made good. I ti sq. Q Q A --Q.. 45 i 45 I. A I hr iliarultg HON, OLIVER H. DEAN, President and Lecturer on the Law of Corporations. MR. SANFORD B. LADD, Lecturer on Real Property.

In illl DHL nunmnr Ehiuiu Gang Cifhnmpann On Saturday, the second day of November, 1907, the class lost one of its brightest members in the death of Edwin Guy Thompson. Mr. Thompson did not return to school for the Senior yearg having taken sick in july, his continued illness finally resulted in death, and he passed away while among his family and friends in his home town, Mankato, Kas. As a student Mr, Thompson stood high, and leaves behind him an excellent record. His was a brave and kindly spirit, winning the high rc- gard of all who knew him, and aside from those connected to him by kindred ties, none lament his death more than the students of the class of which he was a member. ,Oe- 29 limit lllill zmh Emituinrnt uf Ilir Smiinr Glam nf ILIIJS uf Ilyr liauuaas Clitg Srliunl nf Emu We the Senior Class of the Kansas City School of Law, being of sound mind ihroadly speakingj and fair memory. actuated hy a desire that our worldly affairs be settled with the promptness, justice and dispatch that has eharaelerized our past actions. do solemnly in the fear of Cod lthough the Tireslnnen doubtj with a just observance of the law qthuugh the lireshnien douhtl nialte, and publish this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making null and void all other wills and testanients by us made, Iiirst. and principally, we do with an invocation to the Goddess llope, and a steadfast faith in the Law of Chance. hunilvly resign ourselves to the tender mercies of the Missouri Bar lzxannners.

The first year was spent seek- ing for fundamental principles in lllackstone and Kent, absorbing legal .hat- mospheref' and resisting' onslaughts of the then senior class. Ever since the members of the present junior class first met as classmates in the autumn of 1906, the slogan has been. In essentials. Unity, In non-essentials, llarmonyg In all things, Charity. A class organization was formed at the earliest opportunity and. free from the paralysis of factional strife, has been the medium for the forming and cementing of friendships and the gaining of benefits not otherwise to be obtainedg together with moot courts and joint debates, our class meetings have been valued opportunities for practical training in the subject matter of our parties. This year, with Driscoll in the chair and our appreciated sec- retary, judge Futvoye, to settle disputatious tendencies with his verbatim reports. the meetings have been characterized by work, harmoniously and ex- peditiously performed. At a smoker on the evening of December 31, timely topics were eloquently treated by various membersg Seaton delivered his eulogv on, The Man XVho Can lie Happy. Though Single and Ilald : Guffin con'- tributed a touching and impassioned panegyric to the 'ffloddess of Nicotine and Dreams : while Tucker, waving his Metropolitan coupons, lectured on The Systeml' and 'Tligh Finance. It was on this occasion the class en- joyed a rare treat in the form of a lecture on Shakespeare given by judge john jf. Franey of Council Bluffs. la., liberally interspersed with well rendered selections from the King of Drama. The second part of the year began auspiciously: it was soon discovered that Nr. Snyder was very much in t'evidence : in code pleading, Nr. Cooper drilled the embryonic Napoleons of future legal battles in all the maneuvers and tactics of General lJemurrer : while Mr. Morrill labored faithfullv to make obvious the cheery way to f'Bankruptcy. liver and anon the plaiiitive voice of McNeal could be heard lecturing on the llaudex and every junior. 34 Y' l- 4 +- 4 L. in -nite till llanlfruplcy, was urged to don his Quaker Oats smile and ar- range a little private seance undcr the personal direction of Mr. Studebaker. 'l'l1c annual banquet. now an established event commemorative of XVashing'- iiurs liirtliilay, is looked forward to by the student body with happy antici- patioiis, lt is an oasis where the student, meandering througli the realms of legal lore. may pause an hour to drink in new courage and inspiration while wi':ilwl'. punster. poet and wit vie that all may forget the incessantly swinging pendulum of the li-girologiie of time. This year our men, Seaton and Driscoll, .icquittcrl themselves with such characteristic ability that the breast of every gunior swelled with pardonahle pride. ljrior to the evening' of March 7 the sen- iors nursed the pleasant delusion that none could do them worthy battle in the debating forum. liut all the eloquence of Toll, all the persuasiveness of Todd. all the arguments of Gordon could not prevail against the team work of the juniors. Yanished is the dream of superiorityg shattered is the chalice that held the sweets of victory. How are the mighty fallen! Tell it not in Gath. publish it not in the streets of A-Xskelon : lest the aspiring juniors be glad and the unsophisticated freshies rejoice. And yet, God-speed the seniorsg may Fortuna's smiles make radiant their several paths even unto the end. lt is too much to hope, such is the niutability of men's strivings. that out ofa large class there should not have been some deflections: among these none has been more greatly missed than Miss llelen Crawford Rogers: Our only woman classmate. a good student. a perfect lady, her presence was an inspiration, her loss a matter of sincere regret. To those remaining, the im- portant fact looms up that we have come to the close of our second school year: a year frauglit with labor. but filled with the joy that comes to him who labors not in vain. XYith hope renewed and courage undismayed, we rest awhile and then approach the threshold of a new year. XVho may read for us what another year may bring? XVhat Destiny within the hand that holds the glass and scythe!

'lihe .lunior lives in hot midsummer, xx here all enthusiasm and dignity is forgotten in his efforts to keep out of tl1e way of the Freshmen, and his tired and hazy spirits are only soothed by bright prospects for the future. The grave and venerable Senior. symbolical of the ripened or withered fruit ready to fall from the parent stem, enjoys the autumn of school lifefsoon to be turned out into the cold, cruel world. 'Ilhen he wishes he was again a Freshman in the springtime of life, even with all their tribulations. ln the beginning of the school year the Freshmen were without form and void. bitt the spirit of reform moved upon the throng' and a class organiza- tion was perfected. A debating society was also instituted, and the following officers elected: -l. XY. Rankin. President: R. V. Butler. Yice-President: C.

Sergeants-at-.-Xrins, 'I'o make the best of their opportunities and environments is the object of the Freshmen class. Not only knowledge gleaned from books goes to pre- pare a student for his career as a citizen. bitt his success in after life must. in a great measure. depend upon the training' received in school life, by which he can best obtain that ability to meet his fellow men on their own ground. inspire confidence in himself and acquire that refinement and courtesy of social civilization wheh are of a. necessity to make the more complete edu- cation. Xlith this purpose in view the class of IUIO started out in a way most tonnnendable. taking great interest in the debating society. Realizing that it not only tends to promote their closer relations and stronger friendship among the members. but that it also affords an excellent opportunity for the 43 EDXYIN A. HARRIS. earnest and progressive worker to become familiar with parliamentxny nsuages and public speaking. lt teaches them to think coherently and speak effectively. thus preparing its members for more efficient service in their chosen profession, Un Uctober 32, while the unsuspecting' Freshmen were holding a class meeting in their sanctum sanctorinm, the mighty warriors in the Senior camp, led bv their gallant chiefs. made several spirited but unsuccessful attempts to take the liresihmen stronghold. They evidently had not expected to meet such stout resistance, for after about fifteen minutes of hand to hand conflict the Seniors retired in great confusion, and the triumphant Freshmen returned from the field of victory with many Senior scalps on their belts. ln keeping witl1 the usual good fellowship that always prevails during' the holidays, the Freshman class on December 20 gave an informal smoker to its members, at which the aircastles of the ffreshmcn were built upon cigar ash foundations. XYit and good humor flowed freely throughout the evening' and was participated in by all. Une of the most important features of the freshmen year is the annual junior-Freshmen debate. which occurred in .Xpril 18th, this year. The Freshmen class was represented by Mr. G. XY. Xliller. Mr. nlno. ll. llryant and Xlr. XY. lochems. who plainly proved their ability as debaters and orators. acquitting themselves in a most creditable Ntvily. The best banquet in the history of the li. C. S. of l.. was given at the Coates llouse on the 22lNl of February. The whole school met early in the evening and spent a few hours most happily enjoying the feasting and proA gram. The Freshmen class was most ably represented by Mr. nl. li. Gage and Mr. R. Y. llutler. After the banquet was over everyone went home feeling that the evening had been spent with a great deal of pleasure and benefit. Such evenings, while being' most pleasant, prepare and accustom the student in the active events of life. Thus endeth the automatic biography of the Freshmen class. a most august and distinguished body. l,ack of space prevents chronicling manv brave deeds of the lfreshmen. as well as many interesting and eventful inci- dents Of its history, lrfowever. as a final argument. let it be said that the class of IQIO will develop into model Juniors and unprecedented Seniors who will win in the world a name and fame worthy of their .Xlma Klater. 44 Eirmlpnmn Ginza 181111 ALIJERSON, XYALTER A.. -XYLXYARI3. .IOSEPII FRANCIS, III-ICKI-IY.

ISORLAND. that it now is. must have been a work of unusual popularity. lt is curious to know the excuse that Blackstone gives in his original prcfacc for publishing the Commentaries. lt will appeal to every law lecturer who has had any ex- perience: For the truth is that the present publication is as much the effect of necessitv as it is of choice. 'llhe notes which were taken by his bearers have by soine of them, ttoo partial in his favorj been thought worth revising and transcribing: and these transcripts have been frequently loaned to others. llence copies have been multiplied in shape imperfect, if not erroneous 1, some of which have fallen into mercenary hands and become the object of clandes- tine sale. Having therefore so much reason to apprehend a surreptitious im- pression. llc chose rather to submit his own errors to the world, than to seem answerable for those of other men. And with this apology he commits himself to the indulgence of the public. lt is unnecessary to speak of the great monument of lfnglish law up- on which his greatest fame rests. So much has been written about it. and it has been so universally studied, that a mere casual comment or criticism would be impossible. XYQ may only say that its greatness rests as much upon the character of the man who wrote it as upon the learning and research with which it was prepared. lllaekstone fearlessly expressed opinions and ad- xanced sound theories of law and government. many of which were in ad- vance of his age, but to nearly all of which the human race in its progress has at last come. 'llhe contrast may be noted between the present living force of Blackstone and the dead fame of Coke. Coke was probably the greatest tclmical lawyer that the English race has produced. llis learning was vast, his industry untiring. He left a work which is a monument of research. but which is a mass of technicality without a single statesmanlike idea or living moral principle. lllackstone, on the other hand. was in his time and still is a living force. XYe owe him a peculiar debt of gratitude in this country for the timely service he did for the cause of American independence. llis work was eagerly read and studied by the lawyers and statesmen of the Colonies, and they were especially receptive to its principles because they were re- moved from the clouds of party politics which obscured the eyes of some of his contemporaries in England, 'llhe rapidity with which he became an acf knowledgcd authority in :Xmerica is shown by the two following incidents. john Adams. in his speech in defense of the llritish soldiers accused of the Boston Riot of 1770 quotes Blackstone in his definition of self-defense, XVilliam Henry Drayton, in his charge to the grand jury of Charleston April 22, 1776, quotes from Blackstone that a king may by misconduct abdicate his throne. 'l'hus. within an incredibly short time, considering the difficulties of transportation, Blackstone's work had become familiarly known to the law- yers of widely separated colonies north and south in America. His principles of government entered into the formation of the American Constitution of 1787 and are still indelibly stamped upon that instrument. Hur greatest his- torian, Bryce. says, The men of the convention had the experience of the linglish Constitution. That constitution, very different then from what it now is. was even then not quite what they thought it.

Dean. -Gii HE discussion of this subject by the early courts and writers on corporations is not as satisfactory as it has become with- in the last few years. This necessarily grows out of the fact GS: that as corporations, public and private, have increased .so 9643 rapidly tn. numbers, importance and authority, the necessity , jj? of exercising a greater inspection and control over them has I '5ii 4q 5i' Z also increased. Sir XYilliam Blackstone, in speaking of how corpora- tions may be visited, said: For corporations being composed of individuals, subject to hunian frailties, are liable, as wcll as private persons, to deviate from the end of their institution. And for that reason the law has provided proper persons to visit, inquire into, and correct all irregularities that arise in such corporations, eith- er sole or affvfre ate 'und whether ecclesiastical civil or eleeinosynaryf' 'ma gi i C ' J And after briefly disposing of the visitation of ecclesiastical corpora- tions, and arguing that the king in general being the sole founder of all civil' corporations, and the endower being the perficient founder of all eleeniosy- nary ones, the right of visitation of the former results to the king, and of the latter to the patron or cndowerl he then says: Mllhe king being thus constituted by law visitor of all civil corpora- tions, the law has also appointed the place wherein he shall exercise this juris- diction: which is the court of king's bench, where, and where only. all niisbc- haviors of this kind of corporations are inquired into and redressed. and all their controversies decided. And this is what I understand to be the incan- ing of our lawyers when they say that these civil corporations are liable to no visitation: that is, that the law having by imineinorial usage appointed tht-in to be visited and inspected by the king their founder, in his tnajesty's court of king's bench, according to the rules of the cotnnion law, they ought not to be visited elsewhere. or by any other authorityf' l2lackstone's Commentaries. side pages 480-481. ln Angell K Ames on Corporations, the law is briefly stated as fol- lows: tSec. 68.0. Civil corporations are visited by the government itself. through the niediuni of the courts of justice: bitt the internal affairs of ecclesiastical and eleeinosynary corporations are. in general, inspected and controlled by a pri- vate visitor. 'llhis difference in the tribunals naturally results from a differ- ence in the nature and objects of corporations, Civil corporations. whether public or private. being created for public use and advantage. properly fall un- der the snperintendency of that sovereign power whose dutv it is to take care 54 .. .5- X t L O. H. DEAN. ttf the public interest: whereas. corporations. whose object is the distribution of a private hcncfaction. tnay well find jealous guardians in the zeal or vanity of the founder. his heirs or appointees. ln respect to the latter statement. it is said by Blackstone: l!ut. where the visitor is under a temporary disability. there the court tif kings bench will intcrpose to prevent a defect of justice. Also it is said. that if a founder of an eleemosynary foundation appoints a visitor, and lim- its his jurisdiction by rules and statutes, if the visitor in his sentence exceeds those rttles, an action lies against him: but it is otherwise where he mistakes in a thing within his power. I Blackstone, side page 484. In .Xngell M Ames on Corporations. Section 685, it is further said: ln this country, where there is no individual fottnder or donor, the legislature are the visitors of all corporations founded by them for public pur- poses. and may direct judicial proceedings against them for abuse or neglects which at common law would cause a forfeiture of their charters. In this country. private corporations. whether such as are denominated by Blackstone and Kent as eleemosynary. such as private schools, colleges. academies or charities, or corporations created solely for pecuniary profit, are universally governed by trustees or directors. 'l'hc constitution of the corporation is its charter. and it defines its purposes and authority: and its statutes or ordinances are its by-laws, enacted by its tnetnbers in furtherance of its purposes. This little republic. as lilackstone defines it. has many of the fea- tures of an independent government in the field of learning, charity or com- tnerce, and its government is comtnitted to its trustees or directors. To them. is given the right of inspection and control, and upon them rests the obliga- tion to see that its purposes are advanced. and that its officers, agents and members keep within the limitations placed over all by its constitution and its ordinances: bitt every grant of corporate existence necessarily itnplies the condition that the corporation shall be subject to such reasonable regulations. in respect to the general conduct of its affairs. as the legislature may, frotn time to time, prescribe, which do not materially interfere with or obstruct the substantial enjoyment of the privileges the state has granted, and serve only to secure the ends for which the corporation was created.

If this condition be not necessarily implied, then the creation of corporation, with rights and franchises which do not belong' to individual citizens, may become dangerous to the public welfare through the ignorance. or misconduct. or fraud of those to xx hose management their affairs are intrusted. lt would lic extraordinary if the legislative department of a government. charged with the duty of enacting such laws as may promote the health, the morals. and the prosperity of the people. nnght not. when unrestrained by constitutional littiilgtlitrlls upon its authority. provide, by reasonable regulations, against the inisnsc of special corporate privileges which it has granted, and which could not. csc:-pt by its sanction. express or implied. have been exercised at all.

'lihe usual state- ment is that the chartered rights of a corporation must yield to the proper ex- ercise of this power to the same extent as the rights of person and property possessed by individuals: that all rights. whether of natural persons or ot' corporations. are held subject to this paramount and inalienable sovereign power of the state: and it is clearly established that the business lor wlnch a corporation is created may be lessened. or even destroyed. under the exer- cise of tl1is powei'.

Although no such condition is expressed in the eompany's charter. it is necessarily implied in every grant of corporate exist- ence.

'l'his is the common law of the land and is a tacit con- dition annexed to the creation of every such corporation.

There are many elements of risk and danger in every investment in such corporate enterprises. of which. in fairness, eognizanee must be taken, and which are not encountered by the ordinary leader of money or investor in real property or in business enterprises of ascertained value. Such provision is especially needful where capital is sought and is nec- essary for the development of the newer sections of our country, and such pro- vision is only just and can be rightly demanded in every part of our country. Such provision will protect the investor from much ineonsiderate leg- islation growing out ofa want of knowledge of the returns of capital engaged' in such enterprises and the dangers and vicissitudes attending them. It would invite and assure capital where capital is needed, and at the same time pro- tect the public from excessive charges where excessive charges are made. 'l'he aitn should be to build up and not to tear down, to utilize one of the greatest factors in our modern growth instead of crippling it. To this end, there should be care and inquiry in the creation and conduct of such corpora- tions, so as to protect the public against what Blackstone termed the human frailtiesu of the individuals who compose them, and at the same time protect those individuals as investors therein against ill-advised and unjust attack.

Few reviews of these rulings are to be found i11 the reports of appellate courts two hundred years ago, a11d no important treatise on the law of evidence is n1uch 11lO1'C tl1a11 a century old. But whilst tl1is large discretion illlfi latitude in tl1e hasty rulings of early trial judges prophesied a certain looseness a11d confusion in tl1e dicta of tl1e courts, a few trial reports. and 1nucl1 oral preservation of what foriner judges had determined. more VVO11- derfully tended to a llZl1'lNOlly and synnnetry of rulings than could be well expected. ,Xfter arousing one's inind to its early history, as here inost sparsely outlined. it becomes clearer why the law of evidence has been uniformly treat- ed as covering broader territory than strictly belongs to it. its practical serv- ice in courts has enrolled under its general l73,lll16I' tl1e inerest auxiliries i11 de- termining the judgment of tl1e court itself. Surely what the court permits to be laid before tl1e jury as data for inferring the 11lti1nate facts, is determined by the rules of true evidence, how to prove, when it has bee11 first determined what o11e inust prove, is, l take it, what strictly falls to this brancl1 of juris- prudence to declare.

Likewise tl1e connnonly called Patrol Evidence Rule is principally concerned with either rules for tl1e interpretation of written words, or with xx hat inattcrs as deterinined by tl1e statute of frauds or Wills, and not by the law of evidence, shall be reduced to writing, and sealed, attested a11d recorded. Furthermore, what is totally irrelevant to the issues as 111ade by tl1e pleadings, and could le11d 110 possible aid to any enlighteiied 111i11d i11 deterinining the ultimate facts, is barred by tl1e rules of connnon sense and logic: the acute tneta-physician, who perchance had never heard of the doctrine of legal evi- dence, would more quickly and accurately distinguished against such offered testzunony than the ordinary jurist.

JOHN XV. SNYUER. lecture a work of remembrance and not of mere reference. lf it be true that when it was wisely declared that knowledge is powrf' it was mant that knowledge which we carry about with us, the saying peculiarly applies to one's ready command of the rules of evidence. Xlalcing a particular prepara- tion for the trial of a particular case. generally enables the painstaking lawyer to determine in advance his general course, and to stand prepared to defend it: in a sense he enters into the contest as a specialist of th substantive law involved: and in any event may hope for a new trial or reversal, if he has been wronlced. lint it is much more difficult to come specially prepared to foresee what rules of evidence will arise for application! Une must here, therefore, come broadly prepared to meet any emergency that concerns the admission of testimony: furthermore, contrasting the two situations: if one shall fail to accurately and rapidly defend his very right as an examiner. cross- examiner and objector. it is so severely charged against him as his voluntary act. that he is little aided by post-mortems or subsequent relief. lint whilst a ready knowledge of the comparatively few great general rules of exclusion demands, because of the many exceptions to said rules. a laborious and developed memory, we find it here as ever in all branches of jurisprudence that the one who demands, until he perceives. the reason for each established ruling, is the only true eonquerer. liven where he fails to feel thus satisfied, or believes that the advancement of enlightment justifies greater freedom in the admission of offered testimony. his brooding over the matter. memorizes the ruling until he can reform it. 'llhns it might well seem that if in a civil trial between :X and B, the admissions of C, dead at the time of the trial, against his pecuniary or proprietary interests. is admissable. though under an exception to the hearsay rule. that the dying confession of C that he murdered lj, should he received in the prosecution of ,X for the killing of ll. 'l'he probability that such a confession of moral turpitnde is true. seems stronger than the admission of a mere pecuniary obligation. lis- pecially the fact that As life is at stake. should make this exception to the hearsay more freely upheld than in case where only A's property rights are involved. Yet such a situation carefully scrutinized and debated not only aids one's memory to retain and assimilate three of the ten real exceptions to the hearsay rule. but suggests that there are but few such unfoundd prece- dents in the law of evidence. Thus the zeal of the student may always be stimulated by carrying him as far beneath the surface of things as the situa- tion demands: otherwise, the dryness of the atmosphere of the classroom would only invite disheartment and dismay. But the law of evidence coming so close as it does to the practical, ever recurring, facts of life. always admits of bright pages. Even so thoughtless an expression of the layman. as that he would hang a man on direct evidence, but never on eireumstzintial evi- dence. suggests to the searcher for reasons. the whole duty of the jury. lt be- ing their province to first pass upon the creditability of the evidence laid be- fore them. and then upon its weight. it follows that whilst the jury have a two- fold duty cast upon them, in ease of circumstantial evidence, and only the credibility of of the testimony to determine in case of direct evidence, they may yet often be more bewildered, especially where the direct evidence is conflicting. in taking the one step in a certain case. than in taking the two steps in a subsequent case. lf then the juror can trust his mental strength in G4 ,P A. I x In I' JOHN XV. SXYDER. determining whom to believe and what testimony to accept, it might seem he could rely upon that same mentality in drawing' conclusions from estab- lished and irresistible data. He cannot well answer that he would even reject direct evidence if not satisfied of its veracity, for he is never asked, in crimi- nal cases. to make any deductions from circumstantial evidence that admit uf rational doubt. If there is to be no weighing of circumstantial evidence, but all rejected, no criminal could be executed who avoided an inspection of his murderous blow. though he left behind him the surest proofs of his guilt, nad sustained the same by voluntary. explicit and repeated confessions. Une suggestion of possible reform in our law of evidence will conclude this paper. lt would seem that the personal incapacity of parties to testify should. in the absence of some established rule of public policy, be reduced to the minimmn. Our statutory section 4652 overturns the common-law rule forbidding interested parties from testifying. But the chief proviso injected into said section is not a model of clearness. The letter of this proviso can be easily construed to mean one thing, and the spirit of the entire enactment quite another. Small wonder then that our learned jurists have found herein a subject for as prolonged and perplexing study as the mysticism of Brown- ingfs poetry affords to our gifted club women. But there seems little reason why this legislative reform should not have been made more clearly sweeping. The right of an interested party to testify even when his former opponent is dead at the day of trial, save. perchance, as to what had been said or done in the presence of such opponent. seems more just than dangerous. A's death should not deprive B of the testimony that ,-Ys life could not have directly and peculiarly counter-checked. The rule of exclusion should aim to neither aid nor injure B by A's death: and in declaring this rule, every presumption should be indulged that even interested parties are neither necessarily. nor safely, perjurers. 65 lilvrpvtuitiw C.

And while the law suffers a delay and admits that there may be a necessity for it, yet it does so within strict limitations. for public policy is against the right to fetter titles to property during great periods of time. so that it cannot be freely used and disposed of. ln lingland there was much litigation on this subject, some of it of a very intricate character extending over a great period of time before the rule was finally fixed upon. that the estate devised or conveyed must vest within the compass of a life or lives in being, and twenty-one years and the period allowed for gestation afterwards, Lord Dungannon v Smith I2 Cl. S1 Fin. 546. This rule in substance is adopted in most of the states. ln some states it is limited simply to two lives in being, and in other states it is modified in other ways. The trouble with courts in these cases is not to find the lives in be- ing the twenty-one years and some months. but to determine if and when the estate vests, lt is not sufficient if the estate may vest within the prescribed time. it must of necessity take effect. ln Rive v llarret T02 N. Y. IGI, the testator left his property to the exec- utors in trust for his children, the will providing that: 'l'l1e final division of my estate shall take place among my surviving children at the period of ten years after my death. 'llhe court says: The trust is not made determinahle with or within any two ascertained lives, nor is it limited by life. but during the whole of that fixed term the estate is inalienable although all mankind should join in the conveyance. The direction concerning it is therefore in violation of the statutes which in terms prohibits such suspension by any lim- itation or condition whatever for a longer time than during two lives in being at the creation of the estate. The N. Y. statute reads differently from ours. ln 'llhellnsen v XYoodford II Ves. II2 it was held by the House of Lords. that it is competent for a testator to give a life estate to be appoinied by the survivor of I.ooo persons, That estate would be to commence at the 66 'P f +- 2- I ? C. O. TICHEXOR. death of the last of 1.000 persons. lt was held that the great number of lives made no difference. for it was in effect but for the life of the survivor. and therefore but for the life of one person. 'I'here can be no doubt, however. bitt that if the estate was to begin at the death of all persons living in the state of Missouri at the death of the testator, a will would be bad because of the great inconvenience. if not impossibility, of determining the survivor. The rule is well stated in Coggins Appeal. 124 l'a. 30: lt is not suf- ficient that it may vest. lt must vest within that time or the gift is void, void an its creation. lts validity is to be tested by possible and not by actual events, ln that case the testator devised and bequeathed the residue of his estate in trust for the benefit of his wife and four children, equally, for the life of his wife: the trustee after the death of the wife to continue the management of the trust estate, and so to distribute the income thereof that each of the four children should receive during his or her natural life an equal one-fourth part thereof. .Xnd upon the deeease of either one of my said children and succes- sively of each of them, then as respects one'equal fourth part of the princi- pal to and for the only proper use of his other child, or all of his or her chil- dren. if more than one, who shall have attained, or shall attain the age of twenty-five years. and tlte issue of any such who shall have died, or shall die under that age leaving issue in equal shares per stirpes. 'llhe court held the gift to the grandchildren void, and that the estate must go to the children. saying: Measuring this will by its possibilities. not by the facts as they happen to be. it is easy to see that grandchildren may be born within one year befo1'e the death of the life tenant, in which case the gift could not vest within the period fixed by the rule against perpetuities. And in arriving at the meaning of a will as to the vesting of an estate, the court will examine it as a whole. giving it a reasonable construction. even resolving doubts in favor of the vesting. llut where there is no doubt as to its meaning, courts will not search for an intent of the testator not disclosed.

Such gifts from the purposes to which they were to be applied. and the own- ership to which they are subjected, have had the protection of courts of equity to prevent any alienation of them on the part of the person or body entrusted with the offices of giving them effect: and in all such cases land has been A tiger-cell bv courts of equity to be practically inalienable, or that a perpetuity of them exists in corporations when they are charitable gifts. lu another case where there was a devise for the relief of widows and poor children, but on the express condition that said society shall not sell l or alienate saitl lot but shall use and appropriate the rents and profits of the : same for the support of a school and charities of said institution. without j. .aid lot being at any time liable for the debts or contracts of said societyu t-,as held xalid, .lones v llaxersham toj lf S. I74. ,Xnd in Xlills v Davidson CT C. O. TICHENOR. 54 N. j. Fq. 569, the court said. XYords of express condition are not inapt as introductory to a declaration of trust. Every conveyance to a charitable use is a conveyance to hold upon the trust declared, and the execution of the trust is the condition upon which the estate is taken and held. to be given ef- fect to not by the forfeiture of the title, but by those methods by means of which a court of equity compels the performance of such trust. lt must be remembered, however, that if the charity is to come through a first taker, and that if there is a perpctuity in him, the gift will fail, it being void because of such perpetuity. Creran v XVilliams 145 Ill 625, is a leading case on this subject. This rule cannot be evaded by creating a trust, for if by its terms it vio- lates the rule, the trust is void-a trust creating a perpetuity. Slade v Patten 68 Me. 330. In Coopers estate 150 Pa. 583, a distinction is made between vesting title and vesting possession. The vesting possession was postponed until two- third of the persons interested in the estate demanded a final distribution, and while a power to sell was conferred upon the trustee, no time was specified in which he should exercise it, but this was held not to create a perpetuity, be- cause the power must be exercised within a reasonable time, and because a court could compel the exercise of the discretion when asked by those inter- ested. In Gates V Seibert 157 Mo., the will contained the following fp. 26451 Five. I hereby give and bequeath to my son Jacob Cand his wife if he should marryj and after their decease to his children, certain land. The testator died in 1872, and his son did not marry until 1876. His wife died in 1877 leaving a child which died shortly afterwards. He married again in 1878, and by this wife he had several children. It was contended that this clause of the will was void because it violat- ed the rule against perpetuities in this, that Hit was not possible that Jacob, who was unmarried when the will took effect,might remain so for twenty years or more, and then marry a woman who was not born when the testator died, and who mlght survive him for twenty-o11e years and ten months, and there- by postpone the vesting of the remainder to a period beyond the utmost of the law's indulgencef, But the court held otherwise, saying fp. 2683: mflne only point in the proposition as stated by the learned counsel for the defend- ant with which we do not agree is that the limitation must be of such charac- ter that it will 'vest in possession' within the period prescribed. It must be of such a character that it will become a vested estate, if at all, within the period, but not necessarily vested in possession. An estate is vested in pos- session only when there is a right of present enjoymentg it is vested in inter- est when there is a present fixed right of future enjoyment. fp. 2705. In the case at bar the limitation over was to the children of Jacob, which of course, as he was then unmarried, was contingent upon his marrying and hav- ing a childg but the limitation was such that if he should have a child the es- tate in remainder would vest in that child certainly within ten months after 68 T l P 1 1 A l 1 1 ,L C, O.

The rttle applies as well to powers of appointment as to the remoteness of an estate created by them. ln Lawrence estate 136 l'a. 354. the testator de- vised all his estate to trustees to pay the net income to his daughter, Ann Appleton. during her life, then to those whom she might appoint tdesignatej hy her will. She exercised this power by making a will which the court held valid saying: So. also, where a power of appointment is given. either by deed or will, the rttle applies as well to the power as to the appointment. If a pow- er can be exercised at a time beyond thc limits of the rttle, it is bad, As in the case at har. however. the power must be exercised. if at all. in the life- time of Ann Appleton, a life in being at the time of its creation, it cannot be impeached upon that groundg and although the power, to be exercised by will only. is in the most general terms. it is not rendered bad by the fact that, within its terms, an appointment might possibly have been made which would be too remote. The direct and specific object of the power, according to its terms. is not to create a perpetuityg and as the exercise of it is necessarily ac- cording to a certain discretion or latitude of choice in the donee. the security which the law provides against the violation of the law of remoteness is in the failure of any disposition which results from the abuse of that discretion. A will may affect titles to property in several states. ln Ford v Ford 70 Xtis. to. the will directed the conversion of some of testator's land in other states into lands in Kansas City. and in this suit. to construe the will. the court said: XX'e mttst therefore disclaim jurisdiction to determine the title to any of the lands outside of Wisconsin or the legality of accumulations of rents and profits therefrom. It follows that the validity of the proposed con- version of personal property into lands in Kansas City must be determined by the laws and courts in Missouri: so the question of the validity of the pro- posed conversion of lands in other states into lands in the same city. wottld seem to he determinable by the same jurisdiction. but of this we have no att- thority ltr decide. In C1405 vg Lf S. 'llrust Co. Isl N, Y. 330. tl1e court stated the rttle to he that personal property has no locality: that it is subject to the law of the domicile of tl1e owner, not only as to his acts while living, but also as to the passing of the title by will or by the law of descent. liy this will the bequest to the defendant. a New York corporation, as trustee, of a large sum. would have been invalid under the statutes of New York. if the will had been made in that state, because it violated its laws as io perpetnities: but it was valid under the laws of Rhode Island. the dotnicile ttf the testatrix, 'l'he court said: Effect should be given to this like every other will. if that can be done without disregarding legal rules. and we think lift C O 'IICHY XOR mt run. livery right that any party 21Ctlllll'Efl unfler it by the law of the flu- micile ought in justive :tml by comity to be respected here.

A party could bring his suit as speedily or tardily as he chose after his cause of ac- tion accrued.

The courts. in earlier decisions. were inclined to regard a defense based upon the statute of limitations as an unconscionable one. and it met with lit- tle favor at their hands. But later they adopted a truer and more friendly et vnceptit ni of the ir purpose and effect. declaring them to be among the most beneficial to be found in our books and they were said to rest upon sound policy and tend to the peace and welfare of society. Chief -lttstice Shaw spoke of one tif them as eminently a statute of peace. 'lihis view of them now pre- vails in every forum. ln 1828.31 r. .lustice Story, speaking for the supreme court ofthe United States. and referring to the earlier disposition of the courts. observed: It has been matter of regret. in modern times, that, in the construction ofthe statute of limitations. the decisions had not proceeded upon principles better adapted to carry into effect the real objects of the statute: that instead of being' veien ed in an unfavorable light. as an unjust and discreditable de- fense. it had received such support, as would have made it. what it was in- tended to be. emphatically a statute of repose. Xnd the s: inte court has recently said: XX'hatever prejudice there may have been in ancient times against statutes of limitations. it is a cardinal prin- mpp. U1 ,,,t,t1t-ip law- :mtl nf this court. that they are to be treated as statutes of repose. and are not to be construed so as to deteat their obvious intent to secure the prompt enforcement of eiaims during the lives ot the witnesses and nxlxt n their recollections maybe presumed to be still unimpairedf' Statutes of limitation applicable to real actions usually provide. in subf stance. that no action for the reeoverv of lands shall be maintained unless ri SANFORD B. LADD. the plaintiff. or some person under whom he claims. was seized or possessed of the property within a specified number of years before the commencement of the suit: or that no such action shall be maintained unless the suit be brought within a specified numbers of years after the cause of action accrued. They do not usually. in terms, provide that the title ofthe land becomes vest- ed in the adverse occupant. But the effect of these statutes. as construed by the courts. is not only to prevent the maintenance of an action by the true owner. but to vest the title in the person who has held adverse possession for the period mentioned in the statute. The lapse of the time limited by such a statute not only bars the remedy. but it extinguishes the right and vests a perfect title in the adverse holder. It has been said that it is a mistake to suppose that the person barred by the statute loses nothing but his remedy. The law never deliberately takes away all remedy. without an intention to de- stroy the right. lYhen all remedies are taken away. after a specified period of neglect in asserting rights, and when this is done for the purpose of pro- moting the best interests of society. the right itself is destroyed. The right is completely vested in the person in possession. lily adverse possession for the period designated by the statute. not only is the remedy of the former owner gone, but his title has passed to the occupant: so that the latter can maintain ejectnient for the possession against such former owner, should he intrude upon the premises. The statute. therefore. acts. not merely upon the remedy. but upon the title itself: so that a title. vicious in its inceptions. ripens into a perfect one by inere lapse of time. The Supreme Court of this state has declared that: A title acquired by adverse possession under our statute is in every respect as good for the purposes of attack or defense as a title by deeds run- ning back to the government. So true is this that it has even been held that title by adverse possession, once fully vested. cannot be restored to the true owner by subsequent declara- tions or admissions of the occupant that his possession had not been adverse, but can only be revested in the original owner by the same formalities re- quired to transfer a clear record title derived from the government. And this seems a logical consequence of the doctrine of acquisition of title to real estate by adverse possession. It is in a controversy between the holder of the true title-that is, a pa- per title derived through niesne conveyances from the government-and the actual occupant of the land who either has no paper title or a worthless one: that the doctrines of the law of adverse possession are most frequently in- voked. This is because the occupant. being without a good paper title. is compelled to resort for his defense to the title acquired by his adverse pos- session under the statute of limitations. By virtue of the statute. one who, without any title or shadow of title whatever, enters upon land and maintains possession of it for the designated period becomes vested with a title to it which he can defend against all coniers, But to invoke the protection of the statute successfully. the party relying upon it must have fully satisfied certain rigid requirements of the law, These stat- utes tlo not often point out what shall constitute adverse possession. ln the absence of precise statutory definition. judicial authority is agreed that the T2 V 1 G' Q SANFORD B.

XX'hile as a general definition this is sufficiently explicit, it is not always an easy, hut often a difficult matter to decide in any given case whether ad- verse possession within this definition has heen established. y lt has heen said hy the highest authority that it is a question coin- pounded of law' and fact, and every case in which it is invoked must he de- termined hy its own circumstances. Xvhat is adverse possession is one thing in a populous country, and another thing' in a sparsely settled one, and still a different thing in a town or village. lt is not essential in every case that there he a fence. huilding or other improvement. Much depends upon the na- ture and situation of the property, the uses to which it is applied, or to which the claimant may choose to apply it. Speaking hroadly, if visihle and notorious acts of ownership are ex- ercised over the premises, such as to indicate a notorious claim of property, such acts as one would exercise over property which he claimed in his own right. and would not exercise over property which he did not claim, and they are continued without interruption for the period limited hy the statutes, such acts are evidence of the ouster of the former owner and an actual, adverse possession against him. The assumption of authority over the land must he by act or acts so open. pronounced and conspicuous. that the true owner in looking after his property might see some evidence of a hostile claim of possession that he might challenge or contest. The acts of ownership exercised on the land must he of such frequency and of such a charactei' that the true owner. passing hy it could not reason- ahly he deceived. hut would he apprised hy them that his seisin was interrupt- ed and his title endangered. Continuity of possession for the full period is an essential element of adverse holding. One court has said that it must he such possession as to furnish to the true owner a cause of action every day. Any hreak in the pos- session destroys such continuity and is fatal. During the interruption. the seisin is said to he restored. hy operation of law, to the true owner, and if aft- erward the possession he regained hy the former occupant, the statute only hegins to run de novo, and the period of the previous occupancy is not count- ed. llut it is not every technical vacation or non-occupancy of premises which will produce this result. .X temporary removal from the land without any purpose to ahandon it, hut with the intention to resume the actual posses- sion. will not hreak the continuity.

'llhis is because the law charges him with notice: he is conclusively presumed to know the condition of his own land and what is happening upon it, But to this general rule there is one well settled exception. XYhen the possession of the occupant is, in its inception, taken in subordination to the title of the owner. the change from a friendly to a hostile occupation must be the subject of actual knowledge on the part of the owner. Until he receives notice that the one in possession claims in his own right. he may assume that if the possession is taken at first in recognition of his title. the attitude of the occupant will continue the same. Hnly when he acquires distinct information of a hostile claim, does the statute begin to run and the possession become adverse. The statute never begins to run until the cause of action has accrued. lt therefore happens sometimes that a possession complying with all the re- quirements ofthe law. and maintained for a much longer time than the statute designates, is yet not adverse. because the plaintiff brings his suit within the statutory period after his action accrued. For example: The children of a deceased woman from whom they have inherited title, cannot bring an action for possession until after the death of their father. who was entitled to his curtesy. The possession of the occupant during the life of the father, however long its continuance. is not, during that period, adverse to the children, 'lihe application of these statutes has doubtless been. in many cases, productive of individual hardship and apparent injustice. They have made plans of wilful robbery successful. But their underlying principle is sound, their motive deserving of the highest commendation: they were devised for the protection of honest men and to secure to them the enjoyment of the fruits of their industry. and their absence would be prolific of injury and disaster, incalcnlablc in extent.

Sir lidward Coke, the greatest defender of the common law, was born in ISSI, eleven years after the execution of Cromwell, its greatest enemy. The fate of llenry's adviser teaches solemnly that the security of the highest, as well as the humblest, depends upon the maintenance of law: and that the scaffold of misrule may bring death to its builders. Wfhilst this man might justly have been condemned as the assailant of human liberty, he had so far substituted darkness for light, that even the guilty must meet an unjust death. llc largely lost llenry's favor from arranging the marriage of this lustful king to an ugly woman, which seems to have been regarded as an act of treason: and Cromwell was the first and only victim to his own cruel addition to the law of attainder, whereby Parliament not only usurped judicial functions, but could condemn to death without a hearing. Coke was born into a world that still was living upon the bitter fruits of Cromwell's policy and llcnry's tyranny. A certain reaction had already come, but when the chains of slavery once encircle a people, too many emi- nent personages become stockholders in the chains, and draw dividends from the sufferings of the victims, to make the progress of reform a wedding march. It is asserted that forty thousand families had profited by the confiscation of the Abbey lands. and although this allotment of boodle had furnished the chief corruption fund of the age. it was but one scandal among many, The successors of Cromwell were revelling in the inheritance of wealth and tyran- ny, he had created, but not understanding the machinery of misrule his genius had built. they were rushing the engine headlong to destruction. Despising the support and sympathy of the common people, they closed upon every vein that could be made to bleed. lint extreme wrongdoing, so awkwardly exe- cuted. drove many of the nobles, and almost all the judges and lawyers, I rejoice to add in the simple words of a witness of that day, to espouse the cause of suffering lmmanity. 'llhen the morning of hope began to dawn. It must have been a very solemn day when Bishop Latimer, looking no doubt at his choicest members in the front pews, announced as his text, Restitution or Damnation. No such grand or lavish contribution had ever before been required: it was grand, because it was the demands of justice, and not the plea of charity: it was lavish. because it would have taken quite all that many of them had. But avarice is the one passion that will stick to a man until he reaches his grave: it is an estate of freehold. Rather than surrender all. they em- ployed a part in continuing. through the five years of the protectorate of Ed- ward Yl. successor of Henry. the plan of packing parliament. Then came the reign of Mary: but to show how far the love of gain sacrifices all consistency of principles. even in the once proud halls of parliament, these trustees of English liberty made a remarkable sacrifice tothe cause of religion: they sur- rendered back their souls to the Pope, but kept his lands. lt is plain to see who got the worst of this bargain.

But the court received his patriotic outbursts with coldness: and. to him, this was the coldness of death. Indeed, his earli- est years had illy prepared him to achieve greatness by contending against it. From almost childhood he had been a meek suppliant for favor and patronage. 'llhis life of an office-seeker had undermined his manhood, and left him a fit subject for collapsing at every frown of power. Perhaps he had never yet sinnediagainst his conscience. but he had long sinned against that nobility of spirit which brave men treasure as their highest birthright. Unmindful of the independence of his people. he was a weak protector of his own. Therefore, and immdiately, he humbly craved the queen's pardon for having performed the noblest act of his life. 'llhereafter all of his ways were servile. and at peace with powerzone small sacrifice was his only contribution to human liberty. Over this very parliament that witnessed Baeon's greatness, Coke was elected speaker. Though then solicitor-general, and conducting an immense private business, whilst laying the foundation of his lnstitntes, he had time for the commonwealth. 'Those critics of Coke, who argue that lawyers are narrow-ininded. and that, therefore. the greatest lawyer of his day must have been the most narrow-minded one. would seemingly be impressed. if not nar- row-minded themselves, with the tremendous intellectual energies and count- less performances of this man.

The last years of both these men were largely devoted to literary achievements, each according to his kind. The world has been led by the philosophy of Bacon, but our own profession has been made to stiffer a last- ing loss by the failure of his expectations of codifying the laws of England.

Rep. 30 l. c. .t 2.3 Xthile, however. equity in this respect resembles the law. at the same time. equity has ever been a separate system, maintained differently from the system of law and legal remedies. and here the question naturally arises. what is equity as daily ad- ministered in the courts? The authors who have written on this science have hesitated to define it, 'llhe principles of equity are so comprehensive aml flexible. and the remedies and decrees of courts of equity so ample and shaped to conform to such a variety of human transactions, that writers have found it difficult to give a succinct and precise definition of the system. so as to adequately de- scribe what it is. Xtithout intending' to give here a definition, l would say. speaking gen- erally. that equity is supplemental to the law as administered in the courts. lt is a fundamental maxim which lies at the threshold of equity jurisprudence, that a court of equity will only afford a remedy where there is no plain. ade- quate and complete remedy at law. Royce v Grundy. 3 Vet. 2Io: tllerichs v Spain. I5 Wall 211-138: Grand Chule v XYinneg'ar. I5 XYall, 270: Stewart v Caldwell, 54 Mo. 536. lf in any case there is a plain, adequate and complete remedy at law. then equity cannot take cognizance of the case. ln an action at law. the controversy is usually solved and determined by a money judgment for the plaintiff or a judgment finding the issues for the defendant. The civil action under our code when based on a legal right is usually brought to obtain a money judg- ment either in an action ex contractu or ex delieto. llefore the time of our code, when the common law practice obtained. there were the actions of as- sumpsit, debt. covenant. trespass, trespass on the case and the action of trov- er. The actions of assumpsit. debt and covenant were actions ex contractu. the other actions were ex delieto. But in both classes of actions. the plaintiff. whether suing on a contract, or for damages for a wrong. sought simply a money judgment. ln a court of common law. a jury was always a necessary part of the court and the verdict of the jury was either for the plaintiff. assess- ing a certain and definite sum of money for him, or for defendant. finding the S4 t -1- 6 i l t i 6 -hs- 12 A 'L .IA Bl ES S. BOTSFORD, issues in his favor. The qtiestiou in law actions, both under the common law practice and under the code was and is. whether the plaintiff is entitled to a verdict and judgment for inouey against the defendant. lt is trite that the ae- tiou of assumpsit has been in later times. extended so as to etnbrace suits for money founded upon eqtiitable considerations. and so courts of law now als low verdicts. and give judgments in actions of assumpsit founded upon the principles of justice, good faith and equity. btit even with this amplification. the remedy of assumpsit still retains its original characteristic as a remedy for money only. .Xside from these actions for money. there were at the common law. and still are the legal actions for the recovery of the possession of real and personal property, but in those actions, there were the same rigor and exactuess as in actions for money: either the plaintiff recovered judgment for the possession of the property, or the verdict and judgment found the issues for the defendant. l have thus endeavored to give a brief statement and summary of the remedies afforded in courts of law, lt is easy to see how in the primitive con- dition of society as it existed eight or ten centuries ago. the rules and reme- dies of law considered as an exact science were generally found sufficient and adequate to the ordinary affairs of men. bitt as society advanced and the eugageiuents of men broadened and became more complex, the necessity arose for supplementing the simple and rigid remedies of the law with another system better adapted to meet the ever varying' conditions, and the numerous aiid multiplied forms of transactions. among men. lu this connection, it tnust be borne in mind that the common law did not either in its origin or developtnent take to itself any of the practice of equity as it was known in the civil law. Many of the rules and principles of the common law are derived from the civil law. but the common law had none of the elastic quality of the civil law so as to enable the common law courts to apply it to cases other than those where a money judgment or a judgment for the possession of property could be given. These considerations serve to show why in the very earliest history of the common law there arose a necessity for that system of jurisprudence which we are about to consider. XYhat I have said. is verified by the re- searches of some of the historians on this branch of our jurisprudence. In volume 1. page 231 Mr. Spence says: The nubending' nature of the common law judgment will be found to be a material feature to be attended to in reference to sotne branches of the jurisdiction of the court of chauceryfl .X momeut's reflection on the nature of equitable remedies will confirm the correctness of this statement. Remedies afforded by courts of equity are not usually for the recovery of money judgments. It is true. that some times courts of equity when becoming possessed of a case will in order to afford a complete remedy in the case and entirely dispose of it. give a tnouey yiudginent 'md 'iw'u'd execution thereon but this is usuallv incidental to other relief, , . which a court of law could not afford.

Mr. Spence at page 85. volume I. in summing up at the close of his in- teresting review of the AngloASaxon period. says: 1 ln reviewing the state of the law. during the ages we have passed over. in reference to the subject of the subsequent part of this work, namely, the correction of the positive law, and tl1e supplying its deficiencies. we may observe that human sagacity as we are taught by all experience as regards legislators much more enlightened than those of the Anglo-Saxon. must fail in any attempt adequately to provide by anticipation for every possible state of circumstances. Accordingly as we have seen. it was soon found necessary where the positive law required to be tempered or supplied, that the King, as the supreme governor. should be resorted to. to provide by his authority. personally, or under the advice of his council. a suitable remedy for the par- ticular case, and in some cases to provide by enactment for future cases of a similar nature. where the circumstances would admit of such a measure being adopted. Coming down to a period subsequent to the times of the Anglo-Saxons and speaking of the courts of justice and practice during the Norman period of English history, Mr. Spence. at page Q9 volume I of his work. says: The general scheme of judicial organization at the close of the Con- queror's reign, was pretty nearly what it had been in the time of Edward. ln speaking of the time of Henry the Vl. Hr. Spence. at page 127, vol- ume I. says: Now the Kings courts and the courts held by his justices, were the ordinary courts forthe trial of all questions of importance. The King was now the fountain of justice: it was necessary, therefore. under this new system, that a special authority in the form of the King's writ should be procured in order that justice should be obtained in his court and its several branches, though now the ordinary courts of justiceg and it was required that the suit should be prosecuted according to the established forms prevalent in those courts. As regards the law itself, the system which under the name of the common law, was established by the judges, and by the legislator. was found to be insufficient to answer all the exigencies of soeietyg and ultimately a dis- tinctive tribunal for supplying the deficiencies of the common law and for cor- recting the rigorous operation of its rules. established itself. lt is hardly nec- essary to state that this tribunal is. the court of chanceryf' Mr. Spence speaks of the time when the court of Chancery commenced as a distinct court to provide the extraordinary remedies afforded by the juris- diction in equity, as during the reign of Edward the UI. He says at volume Ty P326 337- 3395 ln this reign fEdward HD the court of chancery appears as a dis- tinct court for giving relief in cases which required extraordinary remedies. The King being, as may well be conceived, looking to the history of his busy reign, unable from his other avocations to attend to the mnnerous petitions which were presented to him. he. in the twenty-second year of his reign, by a writ or ordinance referred all such matters as were of grace to be dispatched S6 -7- l 9 A g -Q, 12 A A ,lAXllCS S, BOTSFORIJ, by the Chancellor or by tl1e Keeper of the privy seal '11 ii: The principles on which tl1e decisions of tl1c Chancellor i11 the exercise ot his extraordinary iurisdietion thus connnitted to hini. were founded, were. it would seein those of llonestv lin uitv a11d Consciei . ice. l have tlius given sonle citations front tl1e excellent work of Mr. Spence, which give a historical sunnnary of the rise of the court of chaneery. Before the court of ehaneery came into existence. and after the creation of the courts ini connnon law. the King. Zlllil afterwards the Keeper of tl1e great seal. his Chancellor. provided litigants withlreniedies in equity without the interposi- tion of any court. .-Xnciently, the King. as we have seen. was the fountain of iustiee.'and some tiine after the creation of the courts of the connnon law, sttits were brought by petitions to the King, who would issue l1is writs re- turnable to the courts of law, the writ reciting and providing for such action, tither in assunipsit. debt or covenant as was suitable to the particular case. and it resulted duri11g this method of procedure, that when a case was pre- sented to the King by petition. which could 11ot be granted by the issue by the King of a writ for a law action ill o11e of the courts of the connnon law. but the case required some special relief not afforded by the law courts, the King would hiniselt' consider the case. and grant appropriate relief. according to the nature of the case. In ti111e this duty of the lilllg became irlcsonie and was delegated by l1in1 to the Keeper of the great seal, the Chancellor. who on re- ceiving a petition tothe King for leave to bring a suit would hitnself, issue i11 the naine of tl1e King. writs to the eonnnon law courts a11d i11 this way, the Chancellor was invested by the King with authority to grant relief i11 special eases not cognizable in the law courts according to the principles of equity and good conscience. Thus it is. that in all the old courts of chancery, the presiding judge was called the Chancellor, deriving his 1lZl!'l'lC from the nanie of the high offi- cer under the King, who originally dispensed equitable relief under the sanc- tion and authority of tl1e King. l l1ave thus given to 5111110 extent the history of the rise and progress ofthe court of ehancery. l have done this because it seemed to 111e that this was necessary in order that we inight understand the true nature of equit- able jurisprudence.

I will not make further reference to what Nr. Bltillllillll says in chap- ter one of his work, in which he gives a history of the rise and progress of the high court of ehancery. His historical statements. while not so complete, harmonize in a general way with the historical statements of Mr, Spence. Xte have thus seen. as I observed at the beginning, that equity in a large sense is supplemental to the law. lt affords relief and gives its remedies where the law is inadequate and where there is no plain. adequate and eom- plete remedy at law. The system of equity jurisprudence has always received admiration because of its ability to meet the ever expanding' demands of so- ciety and to regulate the complex affairs of men. XYhile we admire the prin- eiples and rules of the eommon law, we lllllSl admire the principles of equity jurisprudence as standing' upon a somewhat higher plane, and because of its ability to afford relief in the multitude of eases as they newly arise. lndeed we may look upon the system of equity jurisprudence as it relates tothe law, very much as men have looked 11pon the principles and teachings of the new testament. as compared with the old dispensation. The great founder of the new system unfolded in the new testament, taught that the new system was not designed to do away with the law. and so we must ever remember, that notwithstanding the striking' heauty and glory ofthe principles of equity, it has not superseded the law. It was said bythe New Law Giver. in his sermon on the mount. Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets. l am not come to de- stroy. bitt to Hllflil... S0 we should regard the system of equity jurisprudence as lf0f designed to do away with the law, Init as rather intended to fulfill it :ind to supplement it where its rules and principles fail to furnish a remedy. 88 'T O nl A Qhganigvh Eahnfa ltllarv in Snrivtg By Phil R.

Organized Labor takes credit for child labor laws, a shorter working day, factory inspection laws, general improvement of industrial conditions, a higher standard of living, and a wider spread of intelligence and education. The opponents of organized labor claim that strikes, unreasonable de- mands, boycotts, apprenticeship rules, eight hour laws, and all the other activ- ities of the unions, have crippled enterprise, hampered industry and encour- aged anarchy. The fair-minded man must concede the union's claim with regard to higher wages, shorter hours, the sick and death benefits and factory inspec- tion. As for strikes and boycotts, it is unfair to compare organized labor xxith perfected humanity. Criticism must be directed with regard to conditions as they are. Suppose we should attempt to criticize the employer from the ideal standard? llow far short would he fall? And is it fair to expect more of the laborer than we expect of the employer? The employer says that certain union rules restricting apprenticeship deprives the boys of this country from learning a trade, But let us look on this rule of organized labor from the other side. Assuming that there were no apprenticeship rules: That every boy, as he leaves school, is free to choose any trade. Naturally he will seek the trade that pays the greatest wage per hour. Let us assume that the plumbers are receiving the highest wage. These boys would then all flock to learn the plumber's trade. The result would be that within a year or two. the plumber-'s scalesbecause of the great increase of plumbers-would be lowered to that of the day laborer. The journeyman would be master of a trade that had no value, The apprentice would quit his lessons seeing no future profit. and the public would be injured hy having half skilled mechanics thrown upon the market. The restricted apprenticeship balances supply and demand. so that v. hen the apprentice has learned a trade. he possesses somthing that is of value to him. Ile is benefited. the iourncymaifs wages are maintained at a proper scale, and the public is guaranteed skilled men, masters of their craft. So that the contention on the part of the employer as to the restrictions of the apprenticeship rule is not well founded. 90 wr- 42 L3 L -qr 4.2 1 D L PHIL R.

It has been our purpose to make this book representative of the entire schoolg of interest to the Junior and Freshmen classes as well as a lasting memorial to the class of '08, We cannot say that all we had ardently anticipated for this book has been fully realized. A curtailment in size was necessitated by inability to induce sufficient patronage from advertisers in the face of the late business depression. We wish to assure the faculty of our gratitude for their live interest in the success of this publication. To the Senior class, whose enthusiasm has been an inspiration to the staff, we desire to gratefully acknowledge our in- debtedness. And we extend our thanks to the Juniors and Freshmen for their hearty cooperation and support. To the class of 1909 we assign the guardianship of the Pandex, and wish them a full measure of success in perpetuating it's existence with in- creased growth. 9 5 w li -, e . ,. i Vi 'if if K' ll ' if Xt X' Gig' 5' X t ' -J , f X l Inf xt X f xx XXX NN ff X Xi 1 ' fl l I f K y 8 1 'f,1i'TvL4a 'f?' fs l I 'J 'I X li 1 Wt N-W ' t i f l 7 1- t if ,i i X V so ,gli . ,t ' ' x X X 'I' l , f , z l 'YW ff 411, f., , . . gl f ' 1. f if ..

Thus did the faculty and students of the Kansas City School of Law gather at the Coates House on the evening of February 22, 1908, for their animal banquet. Y Phil R. Toll was toastmaster, and so well directed the feast that every toment so spent brought to each and all a rounded measure of enjoy- h golden n ment.

H. Dean, was called. 96 1 if I l Q i Hr. lJean. on behalf of the faculty, presented to the school a life size painting of its first president, the late Francis M. lllack, The presentation speet-h of Xlr, lJCZ1ll.S will linger long in the minds of those present. l quote an extract from the tribute: XYe honor ourselves in honoring the memory of judge lllack. He despised a trickster, a liar and a sniteh. one who abused or betrayed the sa- cred professional trusts assumed by him, he abhored clap-trap humbug and false pretenses. lle was plain. sincere, profoundly honest in all he did, always looking for the right, and the reason of the thing he had in hand, and possess- ing tu a remarkable deg1'ee a common sense that amounted to genius in his capacity of putting facts and principles of law in correct relation to each other. He was a great lawyer. and a great judge. lle neyer forgot that the administration of the law meant. and only meant, the dealing out of justice and establishing the most wise and worthy rules of conduct that the highest morality and highest common sense could apply to human affairs. He was ready to declare that when a law failed to produce this result it had reached its limitations no matter how fine-spun an argument or appar- ently how logical and necessary the deduction might be to the contrary. XYhen Mr. Dean had finished. the toastmaster introduced Rome V. Butler, FIO. Mr. Butler responded to the toast. First and Last, Wlashington and Roosevelt, and in words well chosen drew a lively comparison between these two great men. Mr. john C. Gage, ,IO was the next speaker, and in dealing with his subject, The First Year, provoked great laughter and incited much ap- plause. The next ten minutes were enjoyably spent in listening to Perry XY. Seaton. '09, in his eloquent response to the toast f'The Half-way House. Following Mr. Seaton, Mathew L. Driscol, '09, raised the question, Does it pay to study law? A question it ceased to he and all doubt was resolved into affirmation after Nr. Driscol had been speaking a few minutes. Upon the conclusion of Mr. Driscoll's speech, Thos. R. Madden, 'OS. talked earnestly and well of the ethical development which a lawyer must seek and pronounced it 'fhly idea of a lawyer's mission. Hero XYorshipers was the text chosen by Roy M. Randall. 'o8. 'llhe strict attention secured and held by Mr. Randall bore silent testimony to the eloquence of his speech. After Mr. Randall's speech, Toastmaster Toll arose. and telling a story of the struggle for and attainment of success, presented as the characterization of such success, the guest of the evening. Hon. Frank P. Walsh. Mr. XValsh plead for Hjustice, Equal and Exact. In argument strong. in words concise. he formulated his plea, and suffice it to say 'the won. Members of the faculty present. gave short talks in response to calls from the tables, and at a little past midnight, with the singing of the National Anthem the banquet came to a close. To be preserved, however, in kindliest remembrance by the jolly good fellows who had spent the evening so enjoyably. 97 Eehutvz In looking over the annals of the past achievements of this school we 6 find that the subject of debates makes up one glorious page in its histoiy, ' ' ' ' ' l l'.' omfiture of our Many times has victory perched upon oui standards to t ie c isc 'wus omonents' until now it is well nigh impossible to find a school that varit . ll -i . hath sufficient courage or lack of timidity to meet us in debate.

Uriula nf at Evgitiltrr Being a Few Experiences of One Who Ran for a Lawyer and Got Beat. By Willis P. King, Jr. YX'AN'lfED to follow in the .footsteps of my father, and be ff a physician, and ntake a specialty of surgery. This ambition met with decided parental objection. My father, who had f t served a long apprenticesltip as a country doctor, taking his M X pay in cord wood, seed corn and good will, declared that none of his boys should go through the same privations and hardships. So, after measuring my different qualities, and deciding that tncndacity and a proclivity to shift onerous responsibilities were easily paramount, he urged me to enter the law, the one royal road to a cou-A pon-clipping eventide of life. I took up the study of law. and determined to become a great criminal lawyer. Did you ever notice that nine-tenths of the young lawyers intend to make a specialty of the criminal branch. just as an equal proportion of em- bryonic' physicians have a penchant for surgery? And this in spite of the fact that in a rural community there is not enough remuneration in surgery, and criminal law combined to keep one family in side meat. The reason for it. I think. is that there is something spectacular and theatrical in defending a mur- derer. or whacking off a leg that does not obtain in examining an abstract, or treating a case of eolic, or tnumps. The budding youngster longs for the limelight. tif course l was going to be a mighty factor in politics also. not to secure office and eniolument, but for the general uplift and bettering of political and social standards. There was no kind hand to cut the parachute loose and let me descend to the earth, so l drifted on among my clouds while l learned to differentiate between an executory devise and a contingent remainder. l read law in the office of George XV, Barnett at Sedalia, Mo. He was, and is. one of the best lawyers in the state, and the highest type of Christian gentleman l ever knew. To prove that he was a man of brains it is only nec- essary to mention that be was attorney for several fire insurance companies and an elder in the Canipbellite church, and was a success in both lilies of en- deavor. lle believed that tlte law was approaching an exact science, that the time ought to come, whether it would or not, when the law would become so well settled that the only work of lawyers would be to consult the dipjests and explain to the contending parties what the long line of precedents had estab- lished, My first case convinced me that we were still a long way from the legal tnilleitium. lt was a replevin suit for a pair of blue trousers. Slew lftutt, Kb, a negro. had furnished the cloth. Dutch Henry. my client. had made the garment. All complained that Henry's price was extortionate and broutfltt suit for possession. .-Xb not being able to give bond. my Clicllt 1'0- tained the subiect matter of the issue. XX'hen the trial came on before a Justice of the Peace, l found Billy l0l Tv ? 4' ,a 1 YVILLIS P. KING, JR. The time finally came when I was revenged on Steele for the pants case. I was prosecuting one of his clients for petit larceny and failed utterly to make any case against him. Seeing that he was certain to win, Steel be- came meaner than usual. He goaded and taunted me all through the trial. My witnesses swore to an exactly opposite state of facts to what they had told me in private conversation. I was unable even to prove ownership of the stolen goods. If it had been any other than a justice's court, I would never have gotten to the jury. When I did rise to address the palladium of our liberties. my plan of action was well formed. I talked for an hour and never once referred to the case. My whole speech was devoted to abuse of Steele. I dug up his record, told all the mean things I knew of him. and resorted to my imagination for others. The audience kept increasing, for the windows opened on the principal business street and I yelled at the top of my voice. Steele sat through it all, smiling grimly and taking copious notes. He was preparing for the hot come-backf' the retort courteous. And he was well qualified for the job. He knew of nearly all of my transgressions, for he had usually been particeps criminis or accessory after the fact. O, it was soup for him, the mere anticipation of the flaying he was going to give me. When I had finished flaying him, I dropped my voice, and said very quietly, So far as this case is concerned, gentlemen, the State has failed to prove the charges in the information and I now dismiss it. You are excused. VVhile the jurors put on their hats and mingled with the crowd Steele sat white and speechless. VVha'-wha'- he murmured, but the words would not come. The shock was too much for him, He had prepared himself for the greatest Philippic of his life, but it was never spoken. He was never the same man afterwards. So careless did he become of his reputation that when, a few months later, we sent him to the legislature, he did not raise his voice in protest. He didn't care what became of him. It was shortly after this that I moved to Nevada, Mo. I didn't take any letters of recommendation, for everybody in Sedalia knew me. In my new field I became associated with NN'illian1 Stone and Granville S. Hoss. In time I graduated from the justice court class and found some business in the higher tribunals. My last case before leaving the practice was a peculiar one. It was a suit to set aside a deed of adoption in the federal court. Rep- resenting the defendant, I demurred to the petition on tw ogronnds, first. be- cause the suit was prematurely brought. the defendant having yet eighteen months in which to comply with a contractual conditiong and second, because the plaintiff had slept over her rights, and should have brought suit as soon as the alleged fraud was discovered. The demurrer was sustained on both grounds, and the judge who made the finding is still alive, and at large. Perhaps it was Stone, perhaps some one else, who advised me to get out of the practice for a while, and give the statute of limitations time to chase itself in my behalf. XVhoever it was, I concluded to get out for good. The law became too cramped a domain for my versatile talents. But what should I do? I had the predatory capacity of a porch climber but lacked the requisite physical courage, so after consideration I became a newspaper writ- er. My legal training is often of great value to me now. I have learned how to hold a citizen up to public scorn and contempt, and at the same time keep without the reach of the law of criminal libel. 103 'P J J., F.. nd it- he ep- tal gh lic tas lat ild an Jle 4, 515 FU' tic di- ,N- 4 di- I :he on ras ble fin for Jar 211' lws ted He of ad- 4- ign . .T. idi- ate ... REVIE NOVEMBER 9, 1940. No. 23 Nl.X'I l'lCXYAN Sl'lfll'lAli. l-larry K. Thaw, after long negotiation, has secured the services of the firm of Aylward, Eppes SL Gordon of Kansas City, Mo., to act as his attorneys in a final great effort to obtain his release from Matteawan,l where he has been confined since 1908. Thaw is out old and bent, but now that he has succeeded in getting thc well known firm of Aylward, Eppes it Gordon to represent him, con- fidence gleams in his eyes once more, and he is prepared to drop another million in his last fight to leave the mad house. Mr. Aylward, speaking for the firm, says in part: Delmas was a mutt, Littleton was a piker, so were the rest of them bum guys, and you can betcher life that Harry won't stay in no mad house much longer. Did I represent the Metropolitan Street Railway for years, and learn nothing? Did Mr. Gor' don swap horses for fun? Did Mr, Eppes read electric light meters just for the money in it? No, sir! lt was all for a purpose, which will appear ap- parent, and very obvious after we git to Noo York, and show the natives how it is to be did. T0 TRIAL AT LAST. 'l'Ii4'atvi' Law XYill Be Tested. The last quaified bondsmon having gone bond for the man- agers and players at the twen- ty-five Greater Kansas City playhouses on last Monday for the Sunday periorinance, Judge Wallace was compelled to com- mit the managers to the county jail. This will bring matters to a head and allow a test case, and whether a Sunday perform- t ance is within me Sunday labor statute will then be settled. .lack Allen, the popular man- ager of the Century, expressed great satisfaction at this turn of affairs and feels confident of a favorable decision from the supreme court. Steve Bray, leading come- dian at the Century, when seen in his cell last night loung- ing comfortably on the soft iron hed surrounded by the beauti- ful ladies of the chorus, he- tween puffs of his Mogul Cig- arette, smiled and waved his hand in the old familiar way and H. M. DeVault, in melo- drama at the Gillis, was ear- nestly discussing the outcome with Miss Anna L. Donahue, juvenile lead at the Shubert. The leading people only were allowed one cell to themselves, and in the remaining cells were seen the familiar faces of Ed Caldwell, .Iohn F. Culter, Fred M. Cook from the National. In the dungeon was J. C. Stanton, the wild man from the museum. Page Rx McNeal, the attorneys for the theaters, are all smiles, and McNeal says it is the out- come of a righteous movement, as a democracy can never be organization on one side and disorganization on the other. Judge Vtfallace, though con- fined to his bed, declared he would fight to the end, even if Field was not paid and as the reporter left the front door Wallace shouted: I have 23 minutes yet to serve and I will win yet.

I AIcCray, Euhiriul Nntirv By Frederick Malcolm Cook, 'o8. x RUM a lawyer's viewpoint things judicially noticed by the '93 Court fall logically into three classes: l7XlZlllllF6Sf absurdi-- ties which cure defects in his opponents petition. 2-Great legal principles which the court fails to notice which would vs cure defects in his own pleadings. and 3--'lllllllgS judicially N noticed which render his own petition or answer well nigh incurable. 'llhis classification is not of much practical value for preventive purposes against impending judicial notice, for judicial notice, like lightning, comes unheraldcd. and no man knoweth from where, nor whence nor whither. lt is scarcely necessary to add that this classification, so far as known. has never been the subject of judicial no- tice. f-JM One of the most instructive cases on this point is found in the Missouri reports where plaintiff, a brakeman for the Missouri Pacific railway alleged in his petition that while in the discharge of his duties he was sitting on a particular car in a moving train, and through no negligence his head struck against an overhanging bridge damaging same this head not the bridgej to the amount of 555000. The fact afterwards developed that the distance from the top of the car to the bottom of the bridge was four and one-half feet. and if plaintiff was sitting fwhich posture as is well known, folds the human frame exactly in the centerj this well known law of anatomy would require him to be nine feet tall in order to make the causal connection and damage his head five thousand dollars' worth, The court took judicial notice of this well known principle that a man cannot be more than twice as long as one-half his length and gravely concluded that plaintiff was not nine feet tall. lt is interesting to observe the widely different method a layman would have pursued to establish this fact, An ordinary mortal not endowed with this faculty of judicial notice might have backed plaintiff up against a wall, and with the assistance of a tape line arrived at the same conclusion s that of the courtwa conclusion, however. shorn of dignity and authority. The iatter course would, in effect, amount to calling' plaintiff a liar. lf plaintiffs heighth approached anywhere near nine feet it is obvious that the more dig- nified procedure of taking judicial notice by deduction is preferable, and was in this case a very proper exercise by the court of its Hdiscretionf' Another Missouri case cited with approval by a learned lecturer on this subject shows to what lengths a court in its zeal will sometimes go. ln this ease the court judicially noticed the fact, or fiction. that a mule is a domes- tic animal. Anyone familiar with the character or rather lack of character- of a Missouri mule, is forced to believe that this notice must have been ac- companied with a judicial wink, for this broad statement will not, unfortunate- ly, square with common experience. .-Xny person who has ever come in con- 106 in V , Q- ..L Qs... i 1 l 4 . 4, ,L FREDERICK M. COOK. tact with one-or both-of the battering rams of a Missouri mule and has witnessed the phenomenon of the entire celestial sphere bunched in his iinine- diatc vicinity: or, 1188 HS George :Xde expresses it, 'Ullried with indifferent suc- cess to ride on the hurricane deck of a mule, will be loath to agree with the learned jurist that the mule is a domestic animal. Another fact judicially noticed by courts is that whiskey if taken in- to the human system will produce elevation of the spirits, commonly known as intoxication, and if taken in larger quantities, will result in elevation of the heels. The weight of the decisions hold that the latter stage of elevation is a question beneath the dignity of the court and is therefore left to the jury. A moinent's reflection will show that this question is one falling within tl1e prov- ince of the jury. lt would be doing violence to that deference due the court to compel the judge to decide the comparative merits or denierits of f'Old Log Cabin. or Seventeen Year Old Bourbon. Further, if the court evinced ex- pert knowledge on the subject this might arouse a natural curiosity in the minds of the jurors as to the source of such knowledge, which should be guarded against. XYhen it becomes important to determine whether or not a man was intoxicated at a particular time, four state of facts should be taken into consideration. QU The quality of intoxicant, t2j the quantity, C35 the capacity of the particular individual, or to use a commercial phrase, the tankage capacityf and t4j temperament. The first two are of slight value in determining this question, as they are usually based on local custom and tra- dition. Further, if the facts as to the quantity and quality were established, they would not be conclusive until the person's capacity be established. It is a well known fact that a quantity of liquor that would induce one man to go home, fall on the neck of his inother-in-law and confess his inmost secrets, might prompt another to go home and gently, but firmly, drop his mother-in- law out of a third story window. For reasons that are clear the Kentucky decisions are in hopeless confusion on this point, and for the contrary reason, this question has seldom been raised in Kansas courts. Before the point could be adjudicated in a Kansas court, one more difficult of solution would have to be disposed of, viz., just where whiskey leaves off and f'Hop Tea begins. This would also involve the question of what are the ingredients of Hop Teafi something that science has up to the present time been unable to de- iernnne. 102 Klr, Motley is very plain in his statements.

Was there ever a greater gathering of brains, eloquence and gentility than that at the banquet of the Kansas City School of Law on 'Washington's Ilirthday? If so it has never been heard of tby usl. Because a man is bald-headed, he doesn't necessarily have to occupy a front seat to get the fullest appreciation of the show. Seaton's enviable record proves that assertion. llurrah for the junior Debaters! Can the Seniors possibly see any virtue in Labor Unions now? Or can they entertain further doubt that the Juniors are invincible? There is no truth in the rumor that a reporter for the Police Gazette made inquiry as to the joke on Toll. Those who attended the Junior-Senior debate will remember that there was nothing to it except that Toll, in asking his audience to strip the argument of his opponents of its immaterialities, made a very unfortunate pause after one ot the words of his request. Mr. Morrill: Mix Stulken. who may be a tiller of the soil and yet not a farmer? Voice: 'I'ucker. The Ilemocratic party managers, both local and national, may receive valuable suggestions from Messrs.

Out of sheer justice to the class as a whole. we wish to make a formal complaint against the continuous tumult and up Marquis during the class sessions. XYe wish to take this occasion to call the attention of the class to the generous work of Garrett, who, not a member of the Pandex staff, has so loyally contributed the excellent drawings that appear herewith. Taking the combined Junior and Senior years of this school, and with the regular hours of employment in the day, he has evidently given to this work what little leisure time he otherwise would have had of late, in order to comply with our demands upon him. f .

It is asserted that there are two hundred and seventy active volcanoes in the world, not including the men who have a disposition like Xklestemeyer. McFall in the study of the law believes in moving along the line of least iesistance. That's why he asked if the exemption law pertained to the burying of the dead.

LAWYER who examines land titles should assure himself that his opinion is based upon a GOOD ABSTRACT XVhat matters it how carefully your opinion is prepared if the Abstract on which it is founded makes an INCOMPLETE or an ERRONEOUS SHOWING? There is a moral obligation on the part of the lawyer to demand and insist upon having an Abstract in which he has full confidence. This moral obligation was ably defined by HON. NVILLIAM P. BORLAND in an address before the Bar Association several years ago, copies of which may be obtained from this office.

BUSINESS MANAGER 144 I he Alumni Eirertnrg The best criterion for measuring the effectiveness of any school, with respect to the training it affords, is the record of the success, or failure of its students. By this measurement, the Kansas City School of Law takes high rank. Although but recently entered into the activities of a legal career, some of its younger members are already winning a distinguished place. An As- sistant Prosecuting Attorney, a Justice of the Peace, several instructors in schools and colleges, and a large array of able and successful practitioners represent the alumni of the School in the two Kansas Citys. They are found engaged in all manner of litigation, conducting complicated business affairs with skill and profit. ln the political life of the city our alumni are also conspicuously ac- tive. Two of their number are candidates upon the Democratic City ticket this year, for Police Judge and City Attorney, respectively. Others are ac- tively engaged in the work of campaigning for both parties. The experience now obtained in speaking and meeting with men will doubtless be no small factor in making skillful debaters, and trained political experts of these bud- ding Solons and Ciceros. In legislative circles, our school has also been well represented. The state legislature has felt the influence of our alumni, and one of the most prominent members of the present City Council, who is also a candidate for re-election, the member from the Tenth lfVard, is one of the best known grad- uates of this school. Much more might be written of the achievements of these young men, but suffice it to say that from such a beginning it is no far flight to prophesy for the future alumni of the Kansas City School of Law an honored and per- manent place in the most important affairs of the Great lVest.
