HAVE YOU STOPPED STUDYING ? V vonder how many of our graduates of recent years are still studying? It does not maner so much aa to the brilliancy of a student's career bk school or colleee as it does whether he keeps? on studying. It Is characteristic of our greatest men that, whether or not they had early advantages educational, they Improved every' later opportunity with the greatest diligence- No worthy bit of knowledge slipped by them unobserved. No chance to learn was Ignored. No boundary was set as the l.'mit of Intellectual advance- No compromise with ignorance was ever effected. No truce with mediocrity was at any time declaredIt is the incat absurd sort of folly, in ttia year of grace 1917, and has been for twice ten fimes that number of years, for a slight, vealy youngster to imagine that the feeble brilliance of his childish days amounts to enything in and of Itself. It is valuable, of course, as an indication of possibilities, but worse than valueless when the possession of it lures the unfortunately gifted one into such mental atrophy as the consciousnes? of superior powers is ant to bring about- The familiar story of the rich man's son unable to earn his living in time of financial ruin is but a housewife's tale with the tragedy of mental blight that is so often and so sadly enacted in the lives of the Infantly precocious.

JOHN HANGS ON. Despite the embargoes which The United Kingdom has placed cn the export of a great many articles of manufacture, wool, etc., our iraports from that country for the ten months of the current fiscal year ended April 20 totaled $244,000,000, or almost exactly what they totaled for the same period of 1914. With a large percentage of the vast energies of the Tight Little Island devoted to the war she Is still able, thank3 to the p-esent tariff law, to hold her own in our market. Meantime she is, preparing for post-war trade by getting back to the policy of protection the grand old doctrine cf 1S46.

WHERE JOINT COMMITTEE WOULD SHINE. Senator Thomas of Colorado, takes a pessimistic view of the financial morals which war will develop- He holds that in war time, with its vast expenditures, there is bound to be extravagance, waste and positive dishonesty. This need not be so; but if the administration now is too feeble to prevent these things, it is the duty of congress to try to minimize them. An effective agency to this end will be the joint committee on th conduct of the war which Senator Weeks and Congressman Madcle nhave been trying for some time to have established, but which the White House frowns upon and which the majority cannot be prevailed upon to consider. A few more disclosures like those concerning the delayed cantonments, the defective ammunition on the Magnolia, the lack of ranee finders on guns served out to merchantmen, and the Denman-Goerhals dispute, and the establishment of such a committee will be irresistibly demanded bv the country.

SEPIOUS NEGLIGENCE. The Lowden, Iowa, contretemps is due only to the fact that the United States plays with fire by permitting and thereby encouraging such rank treason. We are at war with a system that forced these Iowa Germans to come .friendless and penniless to these shores to escape militarism, and now they are active partisans of this system. They have forgotten their oafh of allegiance; they are giving aid and comfort to our enemy. What else can be expected of them? They read nothing but German paprs. Their children are taught in German schools. There is Charles Ranking, one of Lowden's leading bankers. Ranking is under $10,non bond to keep ;uiet on political questions, as he expressed the hope at the time the Lusitania v.-as blown up that the Germans would come to New York and blow the town to piecesNo American flags are displayed in this bank, nor are there any placards that the Red Cross sends oat. Another fine example of the system is Peter J- Jurgensen, the postmaster. Here is the highest United States official in that community, but l.e was the first man the federal authorities had to admonish for treasonable ac'ions, end four business men of the town had to give bond tor his future behaviorHe does not read the American papers, and if the reports of his feliow towr.smen are to be credited, he tries to keep others from doing so by "losing'' most of the papers that come to his officeThe instruction.; from his superiors charging all men in the postal service to assist in running down draft dodgers and traitors were read

by turn and tossed asid6, and he has not informed the carrier who works from his office, of receiving them. There is the mayor's wife who, instead of being the leader in Red Cross and patriotic work, i3 under bonds to hold her tongue because of remarks she made at a ' kaffee klatsch." This is the type of people found in hundreds of communities over the country who are encouraged by the Billy Mascns, the Bill Thompsons, the Ham Lewises, and other loudmouthed windjammers who think they will be voted hack Into office by dancing on the danger line of treason and sedition-

CLEANING THE PLATTER. We have a distinct recollection of day3 gone by of the old-fashioned custom that prevailed in a certain family of making a boy or girl "clear the plate" or eat what was left at another meal, before getting anything else. That was not irrational or cruel- The child was permitted to help himself or herself. If too much was taken the discipline of having to eat it sooner or later was wholesomely educative. We may get back to it. Waste is never justified in prosperous families or other families. It is a big element in giving children an utterly false idea of what makes prosperity, at least in blinding youngsters to the .vitalism of thrift on which ail accumulation is based-

BRITISH EMPIRE AND CO-OPERATION. The effect of the recent agitation throughout the British Empire for a closer unity in commercial and industrial relations is exemplified in Uganda. British East Africa, where a great impetus has been given to the raising of cotton- In 19'M the British government imported several varieties of cotton seed into Uganda wi;h a view to commercializing it, and the varieties which proved most suitable were the Egyptian Abassi and Allen's Long Staple, and American Upland- The production for the 1916-17 season is expected to reach 40.000 bales of 420 pounds each, nearly all of which will be taken up by England and used by the Manchester spinners. This is Just one small and early result of the British determination to rely, as. far as possible, on British possessions for supplies of raw materials for manufacture and sale In foreign markets- It i3 planned that the sun shall not. set on British co-operation. The United States has this to consider in future commercial problems-

SINCLAIR OIL TRYING EXPERIMENT AT ITS AUTOMOBILE FILLING STATIONS. So that more men will be available for special war duties, the Sinclair Oil and Refining Corporation Is employing women as attendants at gasoline fiiling stations. If the experiment proves to lie as satisfactory as anticipate':., several hundred will be given regular positions. A. Sheldon Clark, who is in charge of the distributing of refined oils for the Sinclair Corporation, reports that he has found th? girls to be courteous and highly efficient. "My idea in doing this." he explains, "was prompted lareely by the fact that there might be a shortage of male help when the draft goes into effect. I believe that every effort should be m:ide by large c'iporarions so to arrange their operations as to mi ize the energies of women in relieving men who otherwise might not be able to serve their country most effectively."
