Darwin p. Kingsley, president or the

said yesterday:
THE dissent of Mr.. Justice Hughes
and of Mr. Justice Van Devanter brings
great comfort to the supporters OF leu-

ton their competency to pass on the
issues presented, and probably no one
will question the peculiar competency
of Mr.. Justice Hughes
II offer, therefore, no disrespect 70

opinion is economically unsound. The doc
trine that insurance Is not commerce was
supposed to be established almost be-
vond the possibility Of discussion. That
n contrary decision would have been
revolutionary does not detract at all
from the fact that II would have been
right. and il sometimes happens that
revolutions are right. THE error has
been reafirmed. but for the first time
the reafarmation comes from DIVIDED
