The purpose of this s as a_matter of public ot workingmen from be- to making improvident and unfair contracts o stipulating to weept nominal amounts for disable- ment and mut n as the price of obtaining employment. In urging such logislation I, in & message to the oth s, in December. 1907, placed it hpon the ground of justice to_the workmen of this country. I snid in part: “‘gurruu of putting the entire wurden of foss of 1ife or 1imb upon the victim or the victim's fam. a form of social injustice in which the United States stands in an unenviabie promi- nence. In both our fderal and our state leglalation we have with few ex- ceptions scarcely gone further than the repeal of the fellow servant principle of the old law of ltability, and in some our states even this slight modifica- ion of a completely outgrown princi- ple has not yet been secured. The legislation of tho rest of the industrial sorld stands out in striking contrast o our backwardness in this respect.’ Took Ground Against the Progressive View. “In your dec squarely took ground against the pro- zressive view, which T hold to be es- sential to the weifare of the working- men of this nation, and. therefore, to the welfare of the whole people. In treating of this opinion of yours Law Notes on Oct. 10th wrote as follows: ‘In_the course of opinion he said: “At common law a rvant ca not recover from his master for in- | Juries receivell from the negligence of | Meanbile he had ob- | | remedy word in your decision, then I would be at a loss toidefine what kind of doc- trines. can ‘be called retrogressive as opposed to progressive. Y infie: “If it be assumed that comg power to prescribe a dif- ferent or accidents oceuring in or oufside of Connecticut in the course of runhing a railroad train between states, and to create a new statutory action for its inforcement cognizable by the courts of the United States, it cannot, in our opinion, require such an action to be entertained by the courts of this state. It would open a door to serious miscarriage of justice through confusing our juries, if one rule of procedure were to be prescrib- ed in one class of suits against an em- ployer and another diametrically op- posed o it in anotuer class of them. If congress may thus change the com- mon law relations of master and ser- vant by giving a new form and cause of action in the courts of the Unit- ©ed tates, it does not follow that they can give a servant a right to such a in those of the states where these relations remain unaltered.” Absolutely Retrogressive Dootrine. Here again I hold the doctrine set forth by you to be absolutely retro- gressive. 1 agree with the comments on the subject in the report of the judiciary committee of the senate on Mayeh 22, 1910, last, recommending an amendment to' the employers’ liability act. Commenting upoon your decision, the judiciary committee states that you are squarely contradiced by some of the very decisions which you quote in_making it. The senate commiftee reports, in part, as follows in speak- ing of your decisions “We may disre the suggestion of for the moment the injustice of a ‘particuiar statut The local opinion of the justice of a cular law is no obstacie to its_enforcement if it be a binding law. We will therefore con- sider the proposition. solely as if the factor of local opinion as to its justice was eliminated from controversy.. A court may err in its estimate of what its state really did consider injustige.” Position Without Precedent. ‘The position assumed by the court on this question is without precedent. and is entirely untenable in the light of the judicial history of the United States. 'If a federal right cannot be the basis of a plaintifs claim in a state court; If those courts derive their power and authority and com- pensation from the state for:the pur- pose of deciding only controversies arising” under the law of the state, written and unwritten, then a defense based upon a federal right would be equally unenforcible in said courts.

Brussels, Oct. 28—The extraordinary precautions taken last night to pro- tect Emperor William and Empress Auguste Victoria when they left this city at eleven o'clock for Berlin were explained today, when the police an- nounced. that aletter threatening the emperor had been received at the royal palace yesterday. The communication was signed by a militant Brussels an- archist and read: “Since no one has had the courage to blow up the German autocrat, I have decided to throw a bomb. SEDGWICK POST OPENED ¢ CAMPAIGN SEASON. Judge Nelson J. Ayling Told of His Trip Across the Continent—Fine Musical Programm The first campfire of the season of Sedgwick post, No. 1, G. A. R, took place Friday evening at Buckingham Alemorial, and was attended by about seventy-five people. The programme proper, that bad been arranged for this occasion, bezan at elght o’clock promptly, bit for a short time before this hour several ~musical selections were rendered by an orchestra of three Dieces, Miss Helen B. Royce, violin; Miss- Annie L. Tafft, piano; Ebenezer Learned, ‘cello; which were received with marked appreciation. Commander Henry Hovey, in a pleasing manner, extended a most cor- dial welcome to both the auxiliaries and the Citizens' corps, following which Miss Maud Baker delighted all with a soprano solo, which she gave in fine voice. She was called upon for an encore and responded with an- other pleasing selection. Miss Crowe on the piano, 2 address of the evening was given by Judge Nelson J. Ayling. He gave o most intercating and instruc- ‘e account of his recent trip across the continent, in‘ which the conditions of ithe different peoples and the sev- eral sections of the country he passed through were portrayed in a realistic manner. He held the closest attention of his audience throughout his entire address, and at its conclusion was ac- corded an enthusias:ic applause. Another orchestra selection was lis- tened to, after which Miss Baker was heard again and as bevore was obliged to: respond to the call for an encore. The speaker of the ocven/iz and those who had furnished the musical part of the programme were given a | hearty vote of thanks and then the commander extended an invitation to all to adjourn to thé post room, there to partake of a buffet lunch.

No official of a state, sworn to support the constitution of the United States, ‘ean deny the enforcement of a statute of the United States, made in ppursu- ance of the United States constitution. Such law by the constitution is made the supreme law of the land, anything in the constjtution or laws of any state Many relatives and friends were in attendance at the funeral of Mrs. Em- ma Kristek, which was held from her late home on Sherman street Friday morning at 8.30 o'clock. A requiem mass was celebrated at St. Patrick’s church at nine, Rev. Hugh Treanor officiating. ~ There was a wealth of beantiful floral remembrances. Those who acted as bearers were Charles Staubly, Georgze Bogue, Ja- to_the contrary notwithstanding. How can a judge of a state court deny the imperative obligation of a federal statute on any oocasion in his court? Hefore he can lawfully assume the duties as such state judge he is bound by oath in obedience of the express requirements of the constitution fo support the constitution of the United States. TFederal laws are not depend- =nt upon the judicial courtesy of state courts to be enforcible in the courts of cob Haffner, William and Adam En- sling, and Frank, Charles and Joseph Berberick.

SOUTH DAKOTA DIVORCES NOT “LEGAL TENDER” District of ' Columbia—Deci Rendered by Just Washington, Oct. 2. crees granted in South Dakota are not “legal tender” in the District of Columbia, according to a decision ren- dered tdday by Justice Stafford, in the district court. The particular decree of divorce which the justice declared invalld in the national capital was obtained by Milton E. Davis, who in April, 1907, went to South Dakota in December, got his divorce, and three weeks later was married again. The former Mrs. Davis—if she really is no longer a legal wife—brought suit for absolute divorce and alimony. The answer made to the petition was that Davis had alréady secured a divorce. Judge Stafford held that inasmuch as Davis had “deseried his wife and left this jurisdiction, it follows that the court of South Dakota has no ju- risdiction over her and mno right’ to bind her by its decree,” wherefore he ordered Davis to pay alimony and to make provision for the support of the child by his former marriage.
