Chsuffers' Skull Fractured and
Passengers in a Panic.

A collision which occurred early yes
terday morning between an automobile
and a crowded car of the Nostrand ave-
nue. line. on its way from Coney Island
to Manhattan, created panic in the car
and caused several women to faint, while
a number of men tried to climb through

The automobile was driven by William

with Harry Wilson, of No. III East 2Sth
street, and John Baker, had left Coney
Island for Manhattan. At Wilson street
and Lee avenue they met the car

FRIDAY, JULY 2. 1909.
No Longer q Dream

A great idea, like an indestructible
germ, has vitality that is certain to as
sert itself sooner or later. Ratification
may be long delayed, but it is inevitable
at the properly propitious time. Much
space has been given in the news of the
business world of late to big scheme of
railroad extension that involves the con-
nection of lines already constructed or to
be built in Mexico with those of large
system in the United States. The man
who is the executive head of the entire
project announces that the purpose is Ill
timately to have the roads running
southwark as far as Panama. The finan-
cial arrangements appear to have been
made on scale that assures success, and
the work is likely to be pushed with ra-
pidity.
This represents perfectly logical
growth. 1t is indisputable that traffic is
increasing in the directions indicated,
and the combination of American and
Mexican effort is assurance of still more
rapid Roadway. Two countries of ex.
traordinary resources and with con-
stantly increasing tendencies to get to-
gether commercially will be brought
into still closer relations, and the way
will be opened for much advancement.
The progress which is being made from
the north southwark is being initiated if
not equaled by that from the other quar-.
ter. 1t is well known that wonderful
progress in railroad building has been
made in South America during the past
few years and thousands of miles of track
have been laid or will soon be laid, mos,
of which at some time in the future is
likely to form links in or connections
with the so-called three Americas system
What is being done in the United States
and Mexico is coincident with a genera
plan of majestic sweep.
The hard-headed, practical business
men who are carrying out these enter
prises, in which they are investing theil
money and their genius, are not vision
aries or dreamers of dreams. They see
opportunity reckoning and have faith il
the future. They, with mature judg
ment, are carrying out what might have
been regarded at the beginning as
chimera, but which is now considered
not merely possibility but certainty
The Americas are being brought to
gether by bands of steel, and the tim,
is coming when railroad trains may rur
from one extreme to the other of tn,
habitable sections of the western hemi
sphere. Hinton Rowan Helper died il
despair, but prematurely as regarded hi
ambition of great intercontinental rail
road. Had he lived little longer h,
would have seen his faith fully justified
and the scheme he proposed well on tn,
way to completion, TROY Times.

time of this or that class. There are no
classes with us. Our citizenship pre-
vents it. Our fathers never intended it
and we will not have it. The man who
teaches it Injuries the republic and
shunts the intelligent youth in the wrong
direction. Inculcate in him the sturdy
Americanism of the fathers; that all
of us have an equal chance in the race
of life and that there is plenty of room
on top and that he should strive to get
there.
The great need of the hour is intelli-
gent men with courage and integrity.
Right is just as potential as it ever was
Truth is just as forceful in public life
as at any time past. Intellectual men in
public life are just as numerous as ever,
but conditions about us seem to cause
men to lack courage What we need is
more men with the courage of Senator
Foelker who stood for the right in the
New York Senate last year at the risk
of his life. The wonder TO me is, not so
much that Foelker did what he did, al
though under the circumstances that
was heroic, but that any man could so
far forget decency in government and
the veal as to vote against bills for the
repeal of race track gambling. The cour-

ments of all form of vice; all plausible
prtexts for personal gain at the expense
of honor, home and the moral welfare of
the people.
