THE CAUSE AND ITS EFFECT. A statement made at the National Educaa Association convention in Chicago recently the effect that only 40 per cent of the school ldren in this country complete the eight .des of common schools, and only 8 per cent nplete the high school, will no doubt surprise reat many citizens. It is so easy and so inevitable to sink :pcr and deeper into the conviction that all is 11 with the schools in this country, that nothshort of a dismal fact of this kind can get American out of this self-assurance. The rets of the army tests given out several years i should have dispelled this attitude of indifence toward our educational problems, but many it was a satisfactory explanation . to that a good many of the men examined were eigners who had spent little time in Ameri-

schools. The educator's assertion at the N. E. A.

vention admits of no such simple explana-

l, however. Here we are dealing, not as we in the case of the army tests, with an effect

rely; here we are dealing with a more imdiaie cause of the poor showing made by

se who were examined. If we are, as educa5 have told us, a nation of sixth graders, the se for this shortcoming is to be sought in

hing else but the fact that perhaps as many 50 per cent of our boys and girls do not go

'ond the sixth grade. That is a plain and unmistakable fact, and conclusion to be drawn from it is ovious. .ericans have it in their power to make this ation of eight graders or high school gradu5, and if we think this desirable, then it would necessary first of all to find out the reason y- only 40 per" cent of American children cornre the eighth grade. The reasons are no bt to be found by a little searching; in many lmunities they already have been found, and justice to such communities it ought to be 1 that in many cases the conditions which e for sufficient education already have been toved. Unfavorable home conditions .inadequate ool facilities, poor teaching, lax enforcement compulsory educational ideals these are )ng the contributing factors that send our ool children out into the world without even

L minimum eighth grade schooling. The sit-

ion which faces us is a serious one, but it be met successfully if we truly resolve to rove upon it.

FOR CHEAPER OCEAN TRAVEL. A score of years ago a favorite vacation of teachers, preachers and other professional

:, to whom the possession of great wealth is

usually attributes, was through Europe, y were enabled to spend the time because

ir vacations were longer than those of most

pie. For a few hundred dollars they toured

British Isles, France, Belgium and Switzer-

i. The experience was not only a healthful

enjoyable one for them, but they were sebenefits for their pupils or congregations. y obtained a broader outlook and a freshenof their mental processes.

i recent years, as the steamship companies lit, there has been a falling off in the number

nassengers of moderate means. There is no bt as to the reason: the greatly increased ense. It costs almost as much now for the id trip ocean passage as it did formerly for entire journey. The fares have followed the id of the general increase in the cost of livUnfortunately the salaries of professional

l ons have not kept pace with the increase in

es. They have suffered more in this regard

i most persons. And so, as a class, they have

: taking European vacation trips. The inT ise in ocean fares has not been due entirely he decrease in the purchasing power of the ar. All sorts of extraordinary luxurious feas have been introduced on modern steamjs, such as swimming pools, gymnasiums, sun

ors, multitudes of private baths, substitution

beds for berths, elevators, telephones and

Jrmous and richly furnished public rooms, and

cost naturally has to be met by the pass

ers. '

At a recent meeting of the National Merile Marine Association approved the sugion that some means should be found to re-

b the cost of ocean travel so as to induce

e persons to take European vacation trips replace the business that has .been lost ugh the immigration restriction law. The ciple of lower prices and greater .volume of ness was indorsed and the belief was exsed that profits would not suffer. There is on to think that big, steady, but not partic-

kr speedy ships, with plain, comfortable ac

commodations, which could be operated more cheaply than the "floating palaces" would appeal to many persons who cannot afford to tra-. vie like princes.

STOPPING RUM SMUGGLING. Rum-running has revived some of the almost forgotten romance of the sea. The daring exploits of the shady craft which smuggled in liquors from the West Indies rival in some respects the deeds of the English smugglers which formed a favorite theme for writers of stories for boys. But the romance of it cannot be permitted to blind the citizens to the evil of it. The situation should be detlt with firmly. Whatever steps are needed to suppress the traffic should be taken without hesitation. A report comes from Washington that the prohibition rforcement authorities propose that "liquor treaties" be negotiated with Great Brtain and Cuba as an aid to getting control of the liquor exports from the Bahamas, Bermuda and Cuba, and also to improve the Canadian border situation. International treaties which have been negotiated for the purpose of putting an end to the opium traffic possibly will furnish a valuable precedent in the consideration of the matter. China, cursed by the extensive use of this drug by its people, prohibited traffic in it some years ago, but had difficulty in enforcing the law because of the opium that was shipped into the country from India. An appeal was made to the British government, and a s a result a treaty was draw up under the terms of which Great Britain consented to take measures to prevent the sending of the drug into China. At a conference Tield in Shanghai in 1909, to which the governments of China, the United States, Great Britain contented to take measures to premany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Persia, Portugal and Russia sent delegates, it was agreed that it was the duty , of the respective government to prevent the export of opium to any country prohibiting its importation.

With regard to liquor smuggling it is stated that cargo vessels laden with rum anchor just outside the limit of customs jurisdiction and send their stuff ashore in small boats. The vessels themselves, though engaged in violating the law of the United States, are beyond the reach of the American law-enforcing authorities. There is ample reason for a request to the governments under whose flag the rum-runners sail for an agreement by which their traffic can be stopped.

RATIFICATION IN SIGHT. Agreement to limit debate and take a vote next Friday on ratification of thefour-power Pacific treaty does credit to all elements in the senate. Nothing is to be gained by unreasonably prolonging debate on this subject. No amount of talk will bring forth any new thought or facts. It has been demonstrated by the several votes on proposed amendments or reservations that changes will not be made. The gentlemen who have opposed, and still oppose the treaty have made their fight. Further efforts on their part will amount to nothing more than an obstruction of the dispatch of public business. It is well they have desisted and will permit a vote on the main question. A reasonable assumption and the one commonly held . in Washington, is that the agreement presages ratification. The country hopes it does. Public opinion overwhelmingly favorable to the treaty has been unmistakably demonstrated. An important factor in the situation is that it is a fully informed public opinion that is making itself felt. There has been no concealment about any feature of the negotiations carried on in Washington, nor is there any uncertainty in the popular mind with respect to the significance of the instrument submitted by President Harding. It is short and plain, readily comprehended by people of average intelligence. The people want it to become operative for they see in it the best assurance against war over conflicting interest in the Pacific that can be devised. Its ratif icatioiv will mean the completion of those other momentous anti-war agreements that were negotiated by the limitation of armaments conference.

BRYAN AND THE MONKEY. It would be a relief to know whether that "perennial carpet-bagger," William Jennings .Bryan, is going to run for the United States senate in the next congressional elections in Florida. And if he does run, will he make the Darwinian theory of evolution an issue in Florida as it was recently in Kentucky? What a campagn slogan he would have, with his banners inscribed, "You Can't Make a Moneky Out of Me!" Still, his opponent might succeed, in Mr. Bryan's case, where Mr. Bryan says Darwin failed . And if Mr. Bryan were defeated, the voice of the people being the voice God .would he admit that Darwin was right? Mr. Bryan ought to know that it is not the business of voters, as such, or legislators to seek to decide for men what shall be believed as to the origin of the human race. Any legislator or any adviser of a legislator, who thinks this is a legislative duty has to learn yet the first principle of what Americanism is supposed to stand for. The mischief such men as Mr. Bryan do lies in the fact of the opinion many men have that such leaders know what they are talking about anci always give good advice. If nobody believed anything Mr. Bryan says there would be no mischief in his talking. He cannot change the fact of whether or not the Darwinian theory is wrong; how foolish it is for him to want people not to study it to seek to find out whether or not it is true.

y- PORK LOIN y Ift i' j w)

34 vs. 66

Swift's Premium Ham and Swift's Premium Bacon are produced from only the best hogs. Many of the animals we buy do not furnish meat of Premium quality. Since these are the choice cuts from the best hogs, cured and smoked in the best way, with scientific care and precision, they are naturally in great demand; but these cuts, with the loin from which pork chops come, represent only about 34 per cent of the live animal. The remaining 66 per cent consists of the cheaper cuts, such as spare ribs, shoulders, trimmings, pigs' feet, lard, eta, and skrinkae in dressing and curing. Shrinkage is equal o one pound in each five, and has no value whatever. That is why the prices of "Premium" Ham and Bacon and pork loins are higher than the price of the live animal. Everybody wants them and yet they are only about one-third of the entire weight. Tremium" Bacon alone is only about 8 per cent. The great demand for the choicer cuts, and the smaller demand for the cheaper cuts, constitute the reason for the comparatively higher price of the one-third, and the lower price of the other two-thirds. (Some of the lower priced cuts sell at less than the per-pound price of the live animal. It is only by utilizing all possible byproducts and exercising the utmost skill and efficiency that we are able to average a profit of a fraction of a cent a pound on 5 all our business. N. B. Some very delicious dishes can be prepared from the cheaper cuts.
