RIGHTS OF PARENTS
AS TO CONTROL OF THEIR
 MINOR CHILDREN.
Who Enlist in the Army or Navy Without Consent-opinion in Case of Reaves Who Was
 Arrested as Deserter
 From the Navy.

In the Circuit Court of the United States.
 for the Middle District of Alabama
 ex-parte P. A. Reaves.
 1. The statutes of the United States provide that minors between the age of IA and IS years, shall not be enlisted" without the consent of their parent or guardian, for naval service, and subject to court martial any officer who know ingly violates the provision.
 ?. The prohibition being solely in the interest of the parental right, the policy disclosed by the statute Is to make such enlistments void only as to the parent or guardian; and consequently, the parent or guardian only can avoid the enlist ment.
 B. The plain intent of the statute, is that, as against the rights of the non- asseuting parent or guardian. the minor shall not acquire a naval status. at any time, by enhsting in a service upon which he Is forbidden to enter at all, against the wishes of parent or guardian. Loyal ty to the command of the statute, forbids the court to give any effect to such en- 1istment, directly or indirectly, so as to deprive the parent or guardian of the right to the custody and control of the minor.
 4 Under the statutes, the forbidden en- hstment remains absolutely void as to the parent or guardian, until he approves it. In times of peace a parent or guardian may, unless he has approved, put an end at any time, to the naval status of the minor. if he can acquire any as to them, by demanding his return from the proper authorities, or peaceably getting possession of the body of the minor.
 B. Such acts of the parent or guardian put an end to the enlistment, and des- troy any naval status of the minor in
  him a mere civilian. Under the constitution, in time of peace, no court martial has authority to try or punish me who is a civilian, for offenses com nitted in the military or naval service, at time when he had a military or naval .Btatus.

party or privy. can forfeit the innocenf owners right to the custody, even tem> porar1ly, in favor of the wrong doer, who makes such unauthorized use of proper ty against the owners wisheS7 To allow the government to enforce such conse- quences here, would permit the forfeit ure of property, when that consequence does not result as punishment on convic- tion of any crime committed by the own- CT of the property, or of any forfeiture declared by laws on condemnation of the thing for an offense committed by its use. This would not be due process of law. The enlistment law, Is far from clothing the minor, enlisting without the parents consent, with the status, as against the father, of an offending thing the rights in which can be forfeited by proceeding in rem, like ship whose officers, without the knowledge or cons sent of It's owners. undertakes piratical aggressions on the high seas, and in con- sequence is forfeited. In that case the forfeiture results from the offence the ship commits and the provisions of the stat- ute commanding that judgment. Even there the owner has trusted his property to those whose acts destroyed his prop erty in it. Here the parent never en- trusted his son to the custody of the na- val authorities.
 Only two decisions of the Supreme Court have been cited. which shed any direct light on the question. Re Grims- ley, 137 U. s. 147; re Morrissey. l37 U. s. 157. They were decided on the same dayi Mir. Justice Brewer delivering the opin- ion in each. Grimsley waa over age, and deceived the ehlisting officer There was no statute directly prohibiting the en- listment, or under penalty, and no "in- herent vice" in his service. The statute concerning the enlistment was directory rather prohibitory. The limitation as td age. was for the benefit of the governs ment- No ones rights were involved ex- cept Grimsleys and those of the govern ment. He was sui juris. and could waive his own rights.

as ordinarily used, as where some act of the wronged party, and not~the force of the law, Is necessary to determine the character of the transaction.
 There are many fatal elements of weak ness in the Governments contention. It reads the statute as though 1t was word ed: 'enlistments of minors made with out the consent of the parent, are valid to all intents and purposes. until the parent secures a discharge by civil or military authority, which discharge will not be granted, if, in the meanwhile the minor has not behaved well in the ser vice.. until he has been punished" It pushes aside the prohibition, and tram pies down It's purpose and denies it any power to protect the parental right of custody and control. in its full integrity. It repudiates the universally accepted principle of law that an illegal act done by one person, without authority, and prejudtcial to the rights of an innocent third person. especially when that act Is offensive to public policy, Is void from its inception, as between the innocent party and the wrongdoer. after 1t has been avoided by the person who has the right to treat 1t as voidable It sub jects the status the law gives to the fath- CT. to status which the law forbids the Wlnor 10 create, and enfOrceS that Illegal status created in violation of the fath- CTS rights in favor of one who Is for hidden to deal with the minor, so as to affect the fathers rights. It rests on an- other profound error, that somehow or some way, the minor can be treated as an offending thing, and a right of pun ishment can grow up in favor of the Government against this offending thing, the exercise of which forfeits the GUS todN and control of the parent
 It Is self-evident that the right of the parent exists and is secured. both by state and Federal law. This right. there Tore must continue and be enforced, un- less 1t has been, in some lawful way, talk en from the parent. Where does the gov ernment get the right to forfeit the par ents existing right to the custody of the minor and what for? The parent has committed no offense. No act of his. therefore, has forfeited his right in the child. The minor has committed no of Tense against the naval laws, by enlist Ing. His enlistment is not an offense punishable under that law. Until the en- hstment is complete. the civilian does not become a soldier or sailor The en-
 listment, if an offense. Is therefore the

 ton, he cannot be punished by court mar
