SUPREME COURT
ON INSURANCE
CONTINUED from Page H.

federal unemployment provision was
made by Edward r. McClennan OF
Boston, counsel for George p. Davis,
stakeholder In the Boston & Maine
Railroda.
McClennan sought to carry his
case direct to the supreme court,
skipping a ruling by the U. 8. CTR
cult court Of appeals where 1t now
ponds. A Boston federal court 10
days ago ruled adversely on his suit,
unfolding constitutionality OF the
federal tax.
THE final decision OF the question
must inevitably be by the supreme
court Of the United States" NC.
Clennan's brief said, asserting that
the act interferred with the powers
Of the state and "the federal board
thus determines the destiny Of the
state In the administration OF the
states functions.
Legislators Not Free
1.-THE state legislators are not left
free to exercise their Judgment as
to the wisdom or folly Of these re-
quirements. In the exercise Of their
sovereign functions they must take
the dictates Of the men chosen to
exercise the governing functions Of
another sovereignty.
The so-called Social Security Act
Is not social. It is anti-social. II
attempts to put society's burden on
a fraction capriciously picked. It
does not give vested security. 1t Is
not an act OF the congress within
Its powers under the constitution.
Reason may be searched IN vain
for a Justification or even for an
excuse, for relieving wealth, whether
In capital or In income, from taxa
ton to meet this burden which be-
longs on the state and In order TO
be borne socially should fall on the
wealth within the state.
Is Not Social
The attempt Is not social. 1t
plays into the hand Of the property
holding class"
1t Is expected that the court will
rule Monday on the plea fer q re-
hearing In the New York unemploy-
ment law case which was made by
Frederick H. Wood, prominent New
York attorney.
At the time the New York case
was first brought before the court
McClennan sought unSuccessfully to
intervene In the action and broaden
the argument to include an attack
on constitutionality Of the federal
statute.
The court refused his request. II
was possible 1t may announce Mon
day also, whether the federal case
win be accepted.

VERY HAPPY MAN

He believes, It was learned, that
future generations - even II not
his own, will agree that he did the
right and manly thing In abdicat-
ing his throne to marry Mrs. Simp-
son - "the woman ! love-"
His view Is that his alternative to
seeking Mrs. simpsons hand when
she obtains her final divorce decree
would have been q loveless mar
riase which he angrily compares
to the breeding Of pedisreed AMI
mails.
He argues that such marriages
are immoral unnatural and diSas.

ON them as well Is to the individ-
uals concerned.
He feels that his romance with
Mrs. Simpson Is Q proper one and
that has love for her Is hardly less
sublime than his love for his mother
as q child that frankness and hon.
esty in high places are much TO De
preferred than hypocrisy Tor the
sake Of appearances, Is he put 1t. He
considers divorce In loveless mar
riages to be o natural escape from
q situation ne regards % both mar
riages to be Q natural escape from
q situation he regards as both I'M
moral and degrading.
Damaged Themselves
As for churchmen who have
attacked him, his viewpoint Is said
to be that the men who have at
tackled him have only damaged their
own institutions.
Already buoyant from his jettison-
ing Of the cares and strain OF his
royal position, Edwards spirits hit
Q new high today after hts perusal
Of the letters which Lord Brownlow
brought from Mrs. Simpson. The
former monarch radiated good WILL
toward every one.
He was up late last night writing
his answers and Lord Brownlow was
expected to leave for Cannes with
them today.
Meeting Is Far Off
It Is insisted emphatically that
the duke will remain here over the
Christmas holidays and that ne ano
Mrs. Simpson do not intend TO meet
until after her divorce Is made final

history will Judge Of them also. Indeed,
it is considering them while yet they
walk the stage and act their parts In the
great world tragedy.
But the principle involved in the cir
cumstances applies to persons far less
colorfui than dictators. Hence the con-
slant effort of millions Of average people
to SO order their lives and SO manage
their conduct as to avoid reproach. Per-
haps their endeavor Is not sufficiently
appreciated. Not long ago the issue
was dramatized by the reply Of an elderly
but inconspicuous servant Of the public
veal who was asked to furnish data for
q biographical sketch of himself. I'm
sorry" he said, but, I've never done
anything either good or bad enough to
be worth writing about. My ambition
has been to perform my duty in such
fashion that the chap who succeeds me
will have nothing to complain about"
Literally millions Of sef-respecting
souls quietly earned the disregard Of his
tory, and their obscurity Is a just as
well as kindly judgment.

History Judges.

When Napoleon Bonaparte lay dying
In his prison on this burning rock of
st. Helena in the South Atlantic, he
appealed to the verdict Of posterity with
the words: History will judge mel" And
his faith, 1t seems, was not misplaced.
j, Coudurier de Chassaigne says: Not q
day has passed since he breathed his
last without his name being pronounced,
written or printed somewhere in the
world"
But what has humanity decided about
the Little Corsican who changed the
map of the world and gave a new twist
to the mentality of nations? What are
the findings of mankind in his case?
BY way of answer it may be suggested
that the universal Jury still is "out,"
still is debating the evidence for and
against the appellant. The final decision
has not been reached.
Meanwhile, Mussolini and Hitler, per-
haps q hundred other living leaders,
confess that they draw inspiration from
the ideals Of the artillery oficer who
pushed France q century ahead" II
Duce and Der Fuehrer are alike in their
admiration for him. Both agree with his
philosophy of militant expediency. And
