  • 154 Acadiensis Maine: a Bibliographical Review
    154 Acadiensis Catholics could argue that because Saskatchewan and Alberta were created by the Dominion, they should be endowed with a separate school system and guarantees for the French language, but this ignored the fact that the North­ west did have a large measure of self-government and its own Ottawa- approved institutions before 1905. Lupul has discovered that even the minor­ ity's legal adviser felt that the Catholics had no constitutional grounds to stand upon. Bishop Legal of St. Albert was prepared to accept the bill, but not so his metropolitan, Archbishop Langevin of St. Boniface, who demanded a complete return of the separate school system of 1875. However most Catholics realized that Langevin's hard line had done little for them in Mani­ toba, where there were no state-supported Catholic schools, even in name. Consequently, Langevin's position attracted little support from either his fellow bishops or the papal delegate. If there had been an election on the issue, as in 1896, French Canadians would have been able to vote Liberal with a clear conscience because, Bourassa's statements to the contrary, Laurier had gone as far as possible under the circumstances to protect minority rights in the North-West. Even more than in 1896, most Québécois understood that it was pointless to force their institutions upon a region where they had become hopelessly out­ numbered by an unsympathetic majority, particularly when the cost would be more federal power and prestige at the expense of the provinces. The fate of French Canada in the West did not hinge upon the school questions; those issues would not have arisen had that fate not already been sealed.

  • To the Private and Special Laws Enacted by the Legislature ST ATE of MAINE 1944 to 1957
    INDEX To the Private and Special Laws Enacted by the Legislature of the STATE OF MAINE 1944 to 1957 Issued by FRANK F. HARDING Attorney General PREFACE In 1944, for the first time, an index to the private and special laws of the State of Maine from 1820 to 1944 was prepared and published. The value of the index has proved such that the 98th Legislature, by Chapter 143 of the Resolves of 1957, to bring it up to date, authorized and instructed the Attorney General to compile an index to the private and special laws enacted by the Legislature of the State of Maine from 1945 to 1957, inclusive. The original publication of 1944 was the work of Miss Helen Cochrane, then a secretary in the office of the Attorney Gen­ eral. Since that time she has kept that index current in this office. To Miss Cochrane, now a law clerk in the same office, and to her industry and ability, is due the entire credit for the preparation of this publication. FRANK F.

DfCE BE R 1 6 THE ALUMNU OMMENTARY c p""""" Loose Semantics and the Supreme Court When the Supreme Court recently upheld Georgia's statute making sodomy a felony on the grounds that no one has a "c onstitutional right" to engage in sodomy, the Court gave wrong reasons for its constitutionally correct decision. Michael Kinsley, editor of The New Republic, summed up the doctrinal clutter in the sodomy decision, saying, "Freedom of speech is right there in the Constitution. Sodomy is not." According to seventeenth-century English philosopher John Locke, early man had the substantive right to free speech, as well as the substantive right to practice sodomy, steal, kill, maim, and rape to satisfy his needs and desires. He finally bargained away some of his freedoms in the Social Contract, whereby he joined "with other men to ... make one body politic, wherein the majority have the right to set and conclude the rest:' In exchange for this collective protection, the individual gave up these socially harmful rights and agreed not to "take the law in his own hands" but to obey the laws enacted by legislative majorities -laws that would, without being arbitrary, promote the public safety, health, and morality.

  • Stand up and Be Counted
    "Up until now," Ms. Spitz noted, "students attending Maine colleges have routinely been denied their constitutional right to register and to vote in their campus communities. In the 1972 Presidential election, many students across Maine were unable to vote because local officials refused to register them. And, as recently as February of this year, students attending Colby, UMO and Ricker College were Stand still being denied these rights." "In the past there has been a presumption that College students were not residents of their Up college communities.
