United States Supreme Court
223 U.S. 468
Gaar Scott Company v. Shannon
Argued: December 11, 1911. --- Decided: February 19, 1912
In this suit against Shannon, secretary of state for Texas, for the recovery of taxes paid under protest, the plaintiff, Gaar, Scott, & Company, alleged that it is a corporation chartered by the laws of Indiana, in which state it has its principal place of business, and where it manufactures machinery; that in 1901 it paid the amount of franchise tax required of foreign corporations, and obtained from the state of Texas a permit to do business for ten years. This permit, it alleges, was a contract which could not be impaired, but, notwithstanding that fact, the legislature, in 1905, passed an act requiring foreign companies doing business in Texas to pay a still higher franchise tax, measured by their capital and surplus, and provided that if the same was not paid by May 1st, a penalty of 25 per cent should be added, and if not paid by July 1st, the permit to do business in the state should be forfeited 'without judicial ascertainment,' and the company deprived of the right to sue in the courts. It alleged that the secretary of state had mailed to the company a circular calling attention to the provisions of the act, and thereupon, and before May 1, 1905, and again before May 1, 1906, under the duress of this statute, the company had paid the tax demanded, under protest, and with written notice that it reserved the right to sue for the recovery of the amount exacted by an unconstitutional law.
The petition alleges that plaintiff 'only transacts an interstate business in the state of Texas in the sale of its manufactured products. That it employs at Dallas and Houston, Texas, agents who solicit and superintend the soliciting of orders for the goods manufactured by it at Richmond, Indiana, and that this applies to all goods sold by your petitioner in the state of Texas, and your petitioner further alleges that it was, at the time this permit was granted to do business in the state of Texas, and that it now is, and has been ever since said permit was granted to it, engaged in an interstate commerce business.'
The only prayer was for the recovery of the taxes paid for the years 1905 and 1906. The defendant's general demurrer was sustained. 52 Tex. Civ. App. 634, 115 S. W. 361.

# GHW Bush Letter to General Greene

1968
Congress of the United States
House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515
September 11, 1968
Dear General Greene:
I was surprised and very, very pleased to receive your letter of August 27th.
That a Major General in the Air Force would take interest in a brand new Air Force trainee made a big impression on me.
Naturally, as a father I was please to read your comments about George. He is anxiously looking forward to going to flight school and with parental pride, I do have the feeling that he will be a gung ho member of the U.S. Air Force. I think that he will make a good pilot as well.
When he came home, he was full of the training that he had received, and particularly enthusiastic about the dedication of the men he met. I'll never forget the way he kept us up that first night telling about Sgt. Henry Onacki, who apparently was his first instructor. It did my my heart good to hear him describe Onacki's love of country and dedication to the Air Force. I know that the Air Force through men like Sgt. Onacki helped awaken the very best instincts in my son. In this day and age when it has become a little bit fashionable to be critical of the military, I was delighted to see him return to our house with a real pride in the service and with a great respect for the leaders that he had encountered at Lackland.
General Greene, this is a personal letter but I did want to write to you from the heart and thank you for what you, Sgt. Onacki and the others are doing, and obviously doing well.
Yours very truly,
George Bush, M.C.
Major General G.D. Greene, Jr., USAF Commander Headquarters Lackland Military Training Center (ATC) Lackland Air Force Base, Texas 78236

# Gaylords v. Kelshaw

* related portals: Supreme Court of the United States.
* sister projects: Wikidata item.
United States Supreme Court
68 U.S. 81
Gaylords v. Kelshaw
THE Gaylords, appellants here, had filed their bill in chancery in the Circuit Court for the District of Indiana, against the defendants Kelshaw and Butterworth, charging that they had an unsatisfied judgment at law in one of the Indiana courts against Kelshaw, and that some short time before the judgment was recovered, Kelshaw conveyed to Butterworth a valuable piece of real estate without any consideration; and with an intent fraudulently to hinder and delay them, the said Gaylords, in the collection of their debt. The bill prayed that the conveyance might be aside, and the property sold in satisfaction of their debt.
The complainants alleged themselves to be citizens of Ohio, and Butterworth to be a citizen of Indiana, but no allegation was made in any part of the record as to the citizenship of Kelshaw. The record showed, however, that he was found within the district, and had appeared and answered. The court below dismissed the bill on merits.
Coming here, the case was argued by Mr. Henderson for the complainants, who asked a reversal on merits, which he argued had been misunderstood below, and by Messrs. Ketcham and Dunn, contra. The arguments need not be given, since the court considered the question not a question of merits but one
1. Whether, there being no allegation of Kelshaw's citizenship, jurisdiction existed under that clause of the Judiciary Act which gives the Federal courts jurisdiction in suits between citizens of different States? and,
2. If jurisdiction did not exist, what was proper to be done; that is to say, whether the decree was to be reversed, or the bill dismissed, or the case remanded with directions, &c.?
Mr. Justice MILLER, after stating the case, delivered the opinion of the court:

# Gaylords v. Kelshaw/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
68 U.S. 81
Gaylords v. Kelshaw
It is clear, that neither the court below, nor this court, has jurisdiction of the case as between plaintiffs and Kelshaw.
But as the court might, under some circumstances, proceed to adjudicate on the rights of the parties properly before it, we must look into the case, so far as to see if it is one in which relief may be decreed, as between plaintiffs and Butterworth, without regard to Kelshaw.
Without referring to the numerous cases in this court and others, on the necessity of having all the proper parties before the court, in a suit in equity, and the circumstances under which the court will proceed in some cases, without persons who might well be made parties, it is sufficient to say that, in the present case, we think Kelshaw is properly made a defendant to this suit. It is a debt which he owes which is sought to be collected. It is his insolvency which is to be established, and it is his fraudulent conduct that requires investigation.
If the conveyance to Butterworth shall be decreed to be set aside, and the property conveyed to him, subjected to the payment of plaintiffs' debt, it is proper that Kelshaw should be bound by the decree; and to that end he ought to be a party.
It is not necessary to decide in this case, whether if Kelshaw were, in the language of the act of February 28, 1839, 'not an inhabitant of, or found within the district where the suit is brought,' the court could proceed without him; for the record shows that he was found within the district, and served there with process, and has answered the bill. Nor is it necessary, for the same reason, to inquire if the court could dispense with him as a party under the 47th rule prescribed by this court for the courts of equity of the United States. It is simply the case of a person made a defendant by the bill, who is also a proper defendant, according to the principles which govern courts of chancery as to parties, and who has been served with process within the district and answered the bill; but whose citizenship is not made to appear in such a manner that the court can take jurisdiction of the case as to him.
Under these circumstances, the court is of opinion that instead of a decree dismissing the bill on the merits, it should have been dismissed without prejudice for want of jurisdiction. The case will be remanded to the court below with leave to plaintiffs to amend their bill generally, and if they shall fail to do this it shall be dismissed without prejudice. Butterworth is entitled to his costs in this court.
DECREE ACCORDINGLY.

SADNESS AND MIRTH.
———"Nay, these wild fits of uncurb'd laughter
Athwart the gloomy tenor of your mind
As it has lower'd of late, so keenly cast,
Unsuited seem and strange."
———"O nothing strange!
Didst thou ne'er see the swallow's veering breast
Winging the air beneath some murky cloud
In the sunn'd glimpses of a troubled day,
Shiver in silvery brightness?
Or boatman's oar, as vivid lightning flash
In the faint gleam, that like a spirit's path
Tracks the still waters of some sullen lake? ———O gentle friend!
Chide not her mirth, who was sad yesterday,
And may be so to-morrow!"Joanna Baillie.
Ye met at the stately feasts of old,
When the bright wine foam'd in sculptured gold,
Sadness and Mirth! ye were mingled there
With the sound of the lyre in the scented air;
As the cloud and the lightning are blent on high,
Ye mix'd in the gorgeous revelry.
For there hung o'er those banquets of yore a gloom,
A thought and a shadow of the tomb;
It gave to the flute-notes an under-tone,
To the rose a colouring not its own,
To the breath of the myrtle a mournful power—
Sadness and Mirth! ye had each your dower!
Ye met when the triumph swept proudly by,
With the Roman eagles through the sky!
I know that e'en then, in his hour of pride,
The soul of the mighty within him died,
That the void in his bosom lay darkly still,
Which the music of victory might never fill!
Thou wert there, O Mirth! swelling on the shout,
Till the temples like echo-caves rang out;
Thine were the garlands, the songs, the wine,
All the rich voices in air were thine,
The incense, the sunshine—but, Sadness! thy part,
Deepest of all, was the victor's heart!
Ye meet at the bridal with flower and tear;
Strangely and wildly ye meet by the bier!
As the gleam from a sea-bird's white wing shed,
Crosses the storm in its path of dread,
As a dirge meets the breeze of a summer-sky—
Sadness and Mirth! so ye come and fly!
Ye meet in the Poet's haunted breast—
Darkness and rainbow alike its guest!
When the breath of the violet is out in Spring,
When the woods with the wakening of music ring,
O'er his dreamy spirit your currents pass,
Like shadow and sunlight o'er mountain-grass.
When will your parting be, Sadness and Mirth?
Bright stream and dark one! Oh! never on earth!
Never while triumphs and tombs are so near,
While Death and Love walk the same dim sphere;
While flowers unfold where the storm may sweep,
While the heart of man is a soundless deep!
But there smiles a land, O ye troubled pair!
Where ye have no part in the summer-air.
Far from the breathings of changeful skies,
Over the seas and the graves it lies,
Where the day of the lightning and cloud is done,
And Joy reigns alone, as the lonely sun!F. H.

The New Monthly Magazine, Volume 25, Pages 46-47
THE FOUNTAIN OF OBLIVION.
"Implora pace."
One draught, kind Fairy! from that fountain deep,
To lay the phantoms of a haunted breast,
And lone affections which are griefs, to steep
In the cool honey-dews of dreamless rest;
And from the soul the lightning-marks to lave—
One draught of that sweet wave!
Yet, mortal, pause!—within thy mind is laid
Wealth, gather'd long and slowly; thoughts divine
Heap that full treasure-house; and thou hast made
The gems of many a spirit's ocean thine:—
Shall the dark waters to oblivion bear
A pyramid so fair?
Pour from the fount! and let the draught efface
All the vain lore by Memory's pride amass'd,
So it but sweep along the torrent's trace,
And fill the hollow channels of the past!
And from the bosom's inmost-folded leaf
Raze the one master-grief!
Yet pause once more!—All, all thy soul hath known,
Loved, felt, rejoiced in, from its grasp must fade! —Is there no voice whose kind, awakening tone
A sense of spring-time in thy heart hath made?
No eye whose glance thy day-dreams would recall?
—Think—wouldst thou part with all?
Fill with forgetfulness!—there are, there are,
Voices whose music I have loved too well;
Eyes of deep gentleness—but they are far,
Never, oh! never in my home to dwell!
Take their soft looks from off my yearning soul—
Fill high the oblivious bowl!
Yet pause again!—with Memory wilt thou cast
The undying Hope away, of Memory born?
Hope of re-union, heart to heart at last,
No restless doubt between, no rankling thorn?
Wouldst thou erase all records of delight,
That make such visions bright?
Fill with forgetfulness, fill high!—yet stay—
—'Tis from the past we shadow forth the land,
Where smiles long lost, again shall light our way,
And the soul's friends be wreath'd in one bright band:
—Pour the sweet waters back on their own rill,
I must remember still!
For their sake, for the dead—whose image nought
May dim within the temple of my breast,
For their love's sake, which now no earthly thought
May shake or trouble with its own unrest,
Though the past haunt me as a spirit—yet
I ask not to forget!F. H.

A THOUGHT OF THE FUTURE.—BY FELICIA HEMANS.
Dreamer! and wouldst thou know
If Love goes with us to the viewless bourne?
Wouldst thou bear hence th' unfathom'd source of woe
 In thy heart's lonely urn?
 What hath it been to thee,
That Power, the dweller of thy secret breast?
A Dove sent forth across a stormy sea,
 Finding no place of rest:
 A precious odour cast
On a wild stream, that recklessly swept by;
A voice of music utter'd to the blast,
 And winning no reply.
 Even were such answer thine,
Wouldst thou be blest?—too sleepless, too profound,
Are thy soul's hidden springs; there is no line
 Their depth of Love to sound.
 Do not words faint and fail,
When thou wouldst fill them with that ocean's power?
As thine own cheek before high thoughts grows pale
 In some o'erwhelming hour?
 Doth not thy frail form sink
Beneath the chain that binds thee to one spot,
When thy heart strives, held down by many a link,
 Where thy beloved are not?
 Is not thy very soul
Oft in the gush of powerless blessing shed,
Till a vain tenderness, beyond control,
 Bows down thy weary head?
 And wouldst thou bear all this,
The burden and the shadow of thy life,
To trouble the blue skies of cloudless bliss,
 With earthly feeling's strife?
 Not thus, not thus—oh no!
Not veil'd and mantled with dim clouds of care,
That spirit of my soul should with me go,
 To breathe celestial air:
 But as the sky-lark springs
To its own sphere, where night afar is driven,
As to its place the flower-seed findeth wings.
 So must Love mount to Heaven!
 Vainly it shall not strive
There on weak words to pour a stream of fire;
Thought unto thought shall kindling impulse give,
 As light might wake a lyre.
 And oh! its blessing there
Shower'd like rich balsam forth on some dear head,
Powerless no more, a gift shall surely bear,
 A joy of sunlight shed!
 Let me then, let me dream
That Love goes with us to the shore unknown;
So o'er its burning tears a heavenly gleam
 In mercy shall be thrown!

THE IMAGE OF THE DEAD.—BY FELICIA HEMANS.
To————
———True indeed it is
That they whom Death has hidden from our sight,
Are worthiest of the mind's regard; with them,
The Future cannot contradict the Past.
Mortality's last exercise and proof
Is undergone.Wordsworth.
"The love where Death has set his seal,
Nor age can chill, nor rival steal,
 Nor falsehood disavow.Byron.
I call thee blest!—though now the voice be fled,
 Which to thy soul brought dayspring with its tone,
And o'er the gentle eyes though dust be spread,
 Eyes that ne'er look'd on thine but light was thrown
Far through thy breast:
And though the music of thy life be broken,
 Or changed in every chord, since He is gone,
Feeling all this, ev'n yet, by many a token,
 O thou, the deeply, but the brightly lone!
I call thee blest.
For in thy heart there is a holy spot,
 As mid the waste an Isle of Fount and Palm,
For ever gone!—the world's breath enters not,
 The passion-tempests may not break its calm:
'Tis thine, all thine!
Thither, in trust unbaffled, mayst thou turn,
 From weary words, cold greetings, heartless eyes,
Quenching thy soul's thirst at the hidden urn,
 That fill'd with waters of sweet Memory lies
In its own shrine.
Thou hast thy home!—there is no power in change
 To reach that Temple of the Past;—no sway
In all Time brings of sudden, dark, or strange,
 To sweep the still transparent peace away
From its hush'd air.
And oh! that glorious Image of the Dead!
 Sole thing whereon a deathless love may rest,
And in deep faith and dreamy worship shed
 Its high gifts fearlessly!—I call thee blest,
If only there!
Blest, for the Beautiful within thee dwelling,
 Never to fade!—a refuge from distrust,
A spring of purer life, still freshly welling,
 To clothe the barrenness of earthly dust,
With flowers divine.
And thou hast been beloved!—it is no dream,
 No false mirage for thee, the fervent love,
The Rainbow still unreach'd, th' ideal gleam,
 That ever seems before, beyond, above,
Far off to shine.
But thou, from all the daughters of the earth
 Singled and mark'd, hast known its home and place,
And the high memory of its holy worth
 To this our life a glory and a grace
For thee hath given.
And art thou not still fondly, truly loved?
 —Thou art!—the love his spirit bore away
Was not for earth!—a treasure but removed,
 A bright bird parted for a clearer day—
Thine still in Heaven!
