LESS DOUBT ABOUT PORTE

Every announcement of a pro- posed attempt to cross the Atlantic in an aeroplauc has been met with general mcredulousae.s and even ridicuIe. That has been the case with Lieutenant Porte.
 But it must be apparent ga everybody who has read l." Associated Press accounts of waa. is going on at Hammoudspor1 \. Y.. that the craft in which he is .o essay the feat is much olle-ca, from the ordinary flying macl.us. in size, driving power and carry."g capacity, it is far ahead of amy other aeroplane ever built. A.' t.e tests to which it has been subject ed have proved highly satisfactory. Last week it made a sHccess.u. flight with seven passengers. nearly three hundred pounds of gasoline, oil and water and two Aaaore- pounds of sand ballast ou boa. ..
 Recently, Laudmaua u G.r""" aviator. spent tweuy-ouc hours and forty-aine minutes in the a.r in an ordinary military aerolj-e, travelling nearly 1,200 miles '. could rave continued his flight longer had his fuel supply na- given out. And the distance un- tween Newfoundland and the Azores the route Lieutenant Porte a.# planned to take, is oaly l.-ug miles
 While the risks to be nca"r.. are great, it is daily oeeo@.us more probable that under ordinary weather conditions the America will carry the stars and stripes to it's destination across the seu and
 another triumph be added 10 the list Of great, world achievements.

fifteen years the announcement as auau Root lhat he will not ...l, or accept another term in the Senate brings genuine regret. Senator Root wIs one of the -uaa.os. lawyers in the United states before he consented to enter public life. As cabinet officer and a member of the Senate he ..s been from the first a tower Ia. a-ure in Washington. lie ..s been designated by competent authority the abIcsJ man in the country Of uudoubted integrity .al seeming to say or do anything ue did not thoroughly believe was right. merely for the purpose of winning popular favor, even the most extreme of his opponents always have respected and admired him.
 There is no doubt Senator Root is no. entirely in harmony with the spirit which has developed during tbe last few years in Ameri- can politics and ideas of govern meat. And undoubtedly there are many who think 1t is now time Gc should give way to some other u.a of more advanced cOnyic- lions. Nevertheless his retirement from the service of the country uHl be loss to it. Men of his remarkable mental Uoiso and caDac- fly are rare in any generation. Cleveland Leader

ADULT )LL|TERACY
CALLED DISGRACE
U, S. COMMISSIONER OF EDUcA-
TION SAYS IT CAN BE WIPED
OUT IN FIVE YEARS.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 16.-Amer-
ica's adult illiteracy described as ma
tional disgrace, can be wiped out by
the time the next federal census is
taken if the work is undertaken at
once, according to DR.. P. P. Claxton,
United States commissioner of educa-
ton, in statement today. This asser-
ton is made in connection with an ap-
peal by the commissioners for an ap-
preparation by congress of $4,000 with
which to eradicate illiteracy in this
country.
1--WE now have" declared DR.. Clax-
ton, more than 5,0000O0 illiterate
men and women, and many millions
barely able to read and write. This
illiteracy is burden and menace to
state and nation. 1t costs the country
at least half billion dollars every
year. An appropriation Of $4,000
would make it possible to begin the
work of wiping out this national dis
grace and the cooperation of the
states. school officers and educational
associations would be such that after
1920 we would be able to show practi-
cally clean slate.
