R0weU Says

President Coolidge is reported as
being decidedly angry at the course of
the Shipping Board in defying his
policies and ignoring him. Let US
hope so.
Not merely because the president is
right on this issue-the writer en-
phatically thinks he is; but it is hon
estly debatable and there are informed
persons who think otherwise-but be-
cause anger in the president is decid-
eddy a public asset, for other reasons.
President Coolidge would rather
cling to certain old-fashioned notions
of the proper relation of the presi-
dent and Congress. He does not like
to use the "big stick"
Nevertheless, it is extremely desir-
able that he do so. Anger, even at
something else, is good stimulant to
vigorous policy.
So, if the president can get angry
enough at the Shipping Board to un-
leash the big stick, that weapon will
then be in shape for bigger game.

islation Affecting Business.

Need for Standardization of laws
affecting merchandising and similar
phases of business in Washington
was emphasized to the District Com
missioners today by the local dele
gates to the National Conference of
Commissioners on Uniform State
Laws, which met in Detroit last
week.
Only two District laws out OF a
total of 33 State laws drafted with a
view to uniformity meet the standard
laid down by the conference. the dele
gates, Walter c. Clephane, Frederick
Tyler and Charles Inlay. reported
These are the negotiable instrument
act of 1899 and thes warehouse re-
ceipts act, they said. The other 81
local laws designated by the confer
ence as in need of standardization do
not meet with the established form,
it was declared.
The committee urged the Commits
sioners to prevail on Congressl to
remedy this condition in the interest
of better business.

an office in Boston, Commissioner
Enright said, the manager of the Bos-
ton Office assigned Mr.. Edison to take
press dispatches from New York,
wired the New York office to put on
their fastest man to burn the wires
up" At that time r. J. Hutchinson,
sender in the New York office, was
acknowledged the fastest sender in the
world. the commissioner said, and he
was chosen to send to Mr.. Edison.
Starting out moderately Mr.. Hutch
inson gradually increased the speed
until he was going at a lightninglike
pace. After sending about 1000
words without break at the other
end he stopped and asked: Are you
getting this?'
Quick as a flash came back from
Mr.. Edison, "Yes--send with the other
foot"
Mr.. Enright then introduced Mr..
Edison to Mr.. Hutchinson. the man
who tried to burn him up" so many
years ago. <and the two shook hands. :.
