Leaders Wishes

President Coolidge said that while
he was adverse to calling an extra
session of Congress, he had an
open mind and would be guided by
the advice of party leaders.
The party leaders have now given
their advice and it is unfavorable.
which makes it fair to assume that
no extra session will be called.
There is a lot that Congress
might do If 1t were in the mood,
but with a presidential campaign
approaching, its mood is doubtful.
Party leaders would probably ap-
proach other questions in the same
frame of mind that they approach
prohibition.
What they want right now Is not
to discuss perplexing problems, but
to make pleasant gestures that will
get votes.
They are much more interested
In the tax cut than in flood control,
in ballyhoo over the tariff than
in farm relief and the chances are
they would rather talk about tran
oceanic flights than the foreign
policy.

woman owned certificate for fifty shares Of

nature to the certificate and gave it to a bank as
security for q loan He defaulted in payment of the
loan The bank sold the stock certificate and applied
the proceeds to payment of the loan. The wife, dis
covering this sued the bank for the value OF the
stock on the ground that she could not be deprived
of the ownership of 1t by forgery.
The bank commended that because the signature had
been forged it had acquired valid title to the
Stock and consequently never having owned the stock
it should not be held liable for the value Of 1t.
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CAsE2
The actual decision: The Court of Appeals of the
District of Columbia held that the woman was en-
titled to the value of her stock from the bank
because she had been deprived of it by forgery,
and the forgery had permitted the bank to obtain
the proceeds from the sale of the stock The court
said: 1.-THE true of corporate stock not be

Henceforth, the prohibition serv-

In reality he offended political

Political leaders, regardless of

President, Constitution Anniversary Assoc
citation
When the convention met at
Philadelphia in the late spring Of
1887, there was assembled a group
of notably superior men from the
standpoint of mental acumen, politi-
cal understanding and moral cour-
age.
Their lives had been devoted
largely to study and thought con-
corning government and to the rem
dering of service to the Government.
They were politically minded in the
sense that Edison and Marconi are
electrically minded, that Socrates
and Emerson were philsophically
minded, that Mozart and Mendels-
sohn were unsteady minded, that
Newton and Kepler were scien-
tifically minded.
Fifty-fiye delegates were in attend
ance at the convention, and thirty
nine Of them signed the Constitu-
ton. Of the other sixteen, a num-
Der would have signed had they not
been called home before the close of
the convention by illness, pressing
family matters or urgent business.
From All Walks
Among the delegates were
lawyers, physicians, merchants, fl
nanciers educators, farmers, soldiers
and statesmen.
More important than their special
calling or profession, however, is
the fact that the delegates were
men of great natural ability and
strength CT character, devoted
whole heartedly to the public well
fare.
1t is interesting to note that
twenty-five of the delegates were
college graduates in those days
when college education was diff
ficult to acquire.
The calling most nulnerously rep
resented was the legal profession
which had thirty-one members, in
Guiding several who were also
judges.
More than half of them had
rendered distinguished military serv-
ice during the Revolutionary War,
and a number had served an ap-
premiership in constitution-making
for their various States
Franklin Then 81
Benjamin Franklin of Pennsyl-
vania, at 81 years of age, was the
Oldest delegate. He brought to the
deliberations Of the convention the
ripe experience resulting from a
long life of distinguished service to
his country both at. home and
abroad and was the grsst harmon
izing influence of the convention.
Jonathan Dayton Of New Jersey,
at 20 years of age was the youngest
delegate. He later served in Con-
gress as speaker Of the House and

SnobbiShnesS Costly

Putting it bluntly, the United
States has not taken firm and dig
nified attitude toward the rest of
the world, but has struck a snob-
bish, conceited, arrogant pose.
The attitude of other nations
merely reflects our own. They are
having less and less to do with us
commercially.
The average American assumes
chat the rest Of the world can not
get along without the United States.
The singular drift our foreign poll
icy has taken is rooted in that as
sumption.
AS matter Of record, we are not
only an exporting nation, but def
nitely dependent on exports.

Why We Prospered

The great prosperity We have en-
joyed results from the billions of
dollars worth of goods we have been
able to sell to other nations.
The war increased our export
trade tremendously, and our pro-
duction machinery has been en-
larged proportionately.
If we cannot hold the foreign
trade we acquired during the war
and the post war periods, thousands
OF factories are going to shut down
and millions Of men are going to
be out of work.
1t would have been Just as well

Foreign trade, like any other kind,
depends measurably on good will.
The corner groceryman can lose
a customer through snobbishness,
and so can a nation.
This Government has offended a
dozen neighbors by taking the posi-
ton that it was too good to associ-

America is not, and the individual
