Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The plaintiffs contend that the action of the board of county commissioners was void for the reason that the board first acted on the petition on a legal holiday, labor day. This contention is based on the assumption that courts and officers cannot legally act on that day. The assumption is unwarranted. The designation by statute of a day as a legal holiday does not invalidate official or judicial acts performed on that day, unless the statute expressly or by clear implication prohibits the performance of those' acts. (Note, 19 L. R. A. 320; Note, 10 L. R. A., n. s., 791; Note, Ann. Cas. 1916 E, 847 ; 21 Cyc. 440, 445; Selders v. Boyle, 5 Kan. App. 451 .) The statute making the first Monday in September a legal holiday neither expressly nor impliedly prohibits any court or officer from acting on that day.” (l. c. 787.)”
