Law and Justice
BY Dexter NJ. Keeezer -

A father took his four children for a ride in the
family automobile One of his drove the car, and
another 14-year-old rode the seat. The
automobile colded with interurban trolley car.
The 14-year-od injured. He sued his father
to recover for his injuries the ground that the
automobile was being negligently operated when it
collided with the interurban It admitted
that such suit against father by minor child
was contrary to precedent. 1t argued, however,
that the introduction of automobile liability insurance
making it possible for the father to get financial
protection against the loss which might result from
such suit would reversal of this precedent
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decisions The Supreme Court of Michi.
ordered the boys suit against his father dismissed
The court said there is long established rule that
minor child can not bring such suit against his
father because of the bad effect upon family dsoi
pline and unity 1t suggested that if modern
ditions warranted change in this rule the Legisa-
ture rather than the courts should make it.

Millions of dead warn us to profit

Prosperity has made us dumb and

in our national career where wealth

Ours Different

We face a different situation
Whether we shall accord other ma
tons the same liberty we enjoy has
become a matter of choice.
The United States has become the
most powerful instrumentality on
earth. She no longer needs to preach
liberty to save herself She is in a
position to conquer, colonize and ex.
plot, as other powerful nationals
have done.
The policy of non-interference with
the affairs of other people which her
founders established is no longer
guaranteed by lack Of power. She
has been emancipated from her
weakness.
Her people have little now to con,
suit, but their own wishes. What
does real respect for the soldier dead
of this Nation imply?
