James Valentine Campbell

The Campbell ancestors of Judge Campbell were, as the name shows, Scotch. The earliest one in this country, his grandfather, was Thomas Campbell, an officer in an Highland Regiment, who settled on the Hudson. His son, Henry M. Campbell, was born in Ulster County, New York, September 10th, 1783. In early manhood he removed to Buffalo. When the War of 1812 broke out, he joined the American army, and was made Captain of an artillery company. In October, 1812, he married Lois Bushnell, a member of a New England family. Her nephew, the Reverend Horace Bushnell, became a very distinguished congregational divine and author. Captain Campbell was away on service when, in 1813, the British burned Buffalo. His house was burned, Mrs. Campbell and her relatives took refuge in the woods before the arrival of the enemy. After the war, he remained in Buffalo and was successful in business. He was elected one of the Judges of the Erie County Court, a position for which laymen were competent. In 1826, he moved to Detroit where he remained until his death. He engaged in mercantile pursuits and, afterwards, in real estate business and for a time, was quite prosperous. He became prominent and had several public positions. He was side or associate Justice of the County Court, Alderman, Supervisor, Director of the Poor and president of a bank. On arriving at Detroit, he united with the St. Paul\u27s Episcopal Church. Soon after he was chosen senior warden and served in this office the rest of his life. He contributed to the erection of the church edifice forty-five hundred dollars, about one-third of the total cost. He was commonly called Judge Campbell, both in Buffalo and Detroit. Five children grew to maturity, beside the subject of our sketch. All were well educated, intelligent and cultivated. All were devoted to the service of the Episcopal Church. Two of the daughters married, distinguished Detroit lawyers, Samuel T. Douglass and William P. Wells. One, Valeria, was, for nearly twenty years, the head of a successful Girls\u27 School in Detroit. Lois, who was born in 1817 and died unmarried in 1842, is shown by her letters to have been a young lady of unusual intelligence and cultivation. Henry M., who was born in 1821, was drowned in the Detroit River in 1836

Legal Ethics

Legal ethics is a branch of general ethics. Some consideration of the latter is necessary to an understanding of the former. It is a fundamental fact that men generally, if not all sane men, distinguish certain courses of conduct as right and wrong; just as they say particular objects are beautiful and others ugly. They feel a duty to do some things and to refrain from others. If savages do not feel distinctly the sense of duty, at least they are indignant at certain conduct in their associates, and approve of other acts, on moral grounds. This sense of duty is based on a belief in freedom, or the power to choose one line of action rather than another. We have no feeling of obligation as to conduct which is felt to be impossible. But the sense of duty is imperative as to all moral conduct. There can be no justification for not doing the right. Circumstances may change our duty, but so long as an act remains a duty, there can be no full excuse for its non-performance. The belief, that as to some things we are free and accountable for our conduct, is practically universal. All language on moral questions, all the rules of government and society, and all international law are based on this belief. It is more than doubtful whether any doctrine of determinism ever convinced any man of the contrary

The Law and Justice

Here is often complaint that the decisions of the courts are unjust. Probably such complaints have always existed, and they may be no greater to-day than usual. Often, perhaps usually, defeated suitors feel that they have suffered injjustice. There is a public feeling that the rules of law produce much delay in criminal cases, that convictions are set aside by the higher courts for what seem trivial reasons, and that often in consequence the guilty escape. Civil cases do not attract so much public attention, but perhaps there is as great cause of complaint in the repeated trials, rendered necessary when the lower courts err in the rules of law they apply. The glorious uncertainty of the law is to-day, as it has probably always been, a common charge against courts. There is much public impatience, when measures which seem desirable cannot be speedily effected through the law. A striking illustration of this was shown in the recent strike of the coal miners. Our papers teemed with suggestions of summary methods of compelling the operators to yield, without reference to their legal rights. These complaints have probably much foundation. Out of them has come a growing public feeling, that speedy justice should be done in each case, though to effect this the rules of law have to be bent or broken. This feeling appears to have reached the courts, and some legislatures. I have heard that a judge of the supreme court of Michigan, now deceased, declared that if he could ascertain the justice of a cause before him, he cared nothing for the law

MODELING ANIMAL AND FORAGE RESPONSE TO FERTILIZATION OF ANNUAL RANGELANDS

The response functions for forage, animal gain, and stocking rate were estimated from data obtained in a three-year fertilization experiment on California annual range. Degree-days; the interactions between degree-days and nitrogen, between degree-days and phosphorus-sulphur, and between nitrogen and phosphorus-sulphur; and the lagged forage variable were significant in explaining the variations in forage growth, animal gain, and stocking rate. The impact of PS was more important in interaction with DD or N than by itself. The correct impact of moisture was not found due to misspecification of the variable in the model. The models for the first year and the three years combined were well behaved; however, the models for the last two years combined neither explained adequately nor behaved well.Livestock Production/Industries,

Extension Educators\u27 Views of Scholarship and Performance Evalutation Criteria

In response to an organizational goal of increasing scholarship, a survey of faculty and staff in the University of Minnesota Extension Service was conducted to better understand how they define scholarship, its extent of use in their everyday work, and its importance within performance evaluation. While Regional Extension Educators strongly believe they should enhance their scholarship, they also believe that it should not occur at the expense of program management, delivery, and development. In fact, they saw those factors as being more important in performance evaluations than scholarship
