wounded three other children, is con-
spicuous illustration of the criminally
careless driver, young and old, that the
law should make an example of for the
safety of other children and grown
folks on the streets.
Goddard knew perfectly well he had
done criminal thing, for he dismissed
his companion to seek safety, tore the
tel-tale numbers from his machine front
and rear, hid them under his coat, and
went to seek the help and counsel of his
father. H did not go back, according
to accounts, to see about the body of
his victim.
Goddard will doubtless say he is very
sorry he ran over and killed Marie
Brusci And perhaps he is sorry. But
his belated regret does not bring back
to life and to her parents the dead body
of the little girl sacrificed to his carless-
ness, his lawlessness and his criminal
mania for speed.
The courts will doubtless deal with
young Goddard as they should. But, if
they do, the example, hard as it may
be upon him and upon his own relatives,
will not only serve the ends of justice,
but will also serve Wholesome and in
creasingly necessary purpose of re-
straining other fast and careless drivers

TO ABOLISH DEATH SUNDAY.

City newspapers are giving consid-
cradle attention to the weekly sacri-
flee of life due to reckless automobile
driving. This serious hebdomadal
tragedy has centered during the past
few weeks in the crowded highways of
Sunday, Vermont having paid her tragic
toll to the mania for speed.
This does not mean that joy-riders
and high speeding has caused all the
Sunday accidents of July, but the spirit
Of recklessness which speed engenders
has had deplorable part in the catas-
trophies of the past few weeks.
Much of the hazard of the highway is
due to the incompetent and reckless
driver, Common sense might dictate
that the horns should be sounded be-
fore leaving the tangent of a blind
curve, before passing through covered
bridges or making a turn at right

FRIDAY. AUGUST IL, 1914.
ILLITERACY MUST GO.

lllJl LINZ - L Iu CAoA w.
Secretary Lane of the Department of
the Interior has found a new outlet for
official activity. He has made up his
mind, after patient and thorough inves-
tigation that there are altogether too
many illiterate persons in this country.
He recommends that an Independent
investigation be made by Congress and
urges the passage of an appropriation
for the purpose. 1t will be surprise
to many to learn for the first time that
there are today nearly $500, 600 persons
of 10 years and upward who are unable
to read or write.
For the purpose of showing wherein
the danger lies from such vast army
of illiterates, Secretary Lane has
aligned them in a hypothetical double
line of march at intervals of three feet
apart He estimates that this army
would extend over a distance of 1867
miles and would require more than two
months to pass given point proceed
ing at the rate of Is miles per day. 1t
requires no severe strain of the imagin-
alton to conceive the Danger Secretary
Lane points out.
Time was when our boosted public
school system, while granted grudg-
ing support and federation, was not per
mitted to interfere with the cherished
schemes of politicians who sought to
preserve to their constituents their Cod
given right to illiteracy and Ignorance.
That time has passed. The most in
vincibe enemy to the State is ignor-
ance and shall ever remain so. Any
war against this common foe should en-
list the most earnest sympathy of the
people.
Much has been said about the hordes
of foreign illiterates in the United
States, yet they exceed the number of
native illiterates by comparatively few.
Again, we of New England have had
the imputation launched at our rural
districts that they are the breeding
places of illiteracy, whereas the fact
turns out to be that generally illiteracy
is greater in our city communities thar
in the rural districts on account of the
congestion of immigration in New Eng
land, the Middle Atlantic and the East
North Central States.
That concerted action will work won
ders in the eradication of illiteracy j!
apparent from the case afforded by
France where the number of illiterate
has been reduced from As in 100 to fiv,
in 100. The Boston Globe admits will
becoming humility that the great Hub
that center of culture and ineffable up
lift, has "a, GAS illiterates over ten year
of age.
Educational experiments in tn
mountainous regions of the Souther
States, such as Kentucky and Georgia
have been pursued along the lines o
bringing the fundamentals to aged per
sons whose youth had been passed with
out the opportunities for learning eve
the rudiments. The fact that a cor
federate veteran at the age of 6
learnrd to read and write and that
woman learned these essentials at so
all too pathetic.
Secretary Lane will not be likely t
find many obstacles in the way of hi
aggressive campaign but rather wi
have the sympathy and cooperation G

PANAMA CANAL OFFICIALLY
OPENED.

Panama, August 16.-The Panama
canal is open to the commerce of the
world. Henceforth ships may psas
through that great waterway, a new
ocean highway for trade thus being es-
tablished.
The steamship Ancon, owned by the
United States war department, with
many notable people on board, yesterday
made the official passage which signal
lied the opening.
She left Cristobal at seven O'Clock in
the morning and reached Balboa, on the
Pacific end, at four o'clock in the after
noon, having thus navigated the water
way in nine hours.
The Ancon did not anchor at Balboa,
but proceeded into deep water in the
Pacific beyond the fortified islands
where she anchored in the channel of
the canal until her return to Balboa
when she landed her passengers.
The Ancon will remain at the Balboa
docks for some time, discharging her
cargo, this being the first commercial
voyage made through the canal.
The canal having been officially
opened, it was used to day for the trans
fer of four cargo ships which will thus
shorten their route.
The private yacht Lasata, owned in
Los Angeles, also will be transferred to
the Pacific, homeward bound.
The trip of the Ancon was the fastest
yet made by large ocean steamer, the
locking operations being quicker, owing
to greater experience.
The steamer went through the Gatur
locks in 20 minutes, speed never before
equaled. The other lockages were
equally rapid.
Gov. George W. Goethals, builder o.
the canal, and Governor of the zont
watched the operations closely and wa
manifestly pleased at the improved
handling of the locks.
He declared that even this would b.
made much better with time. Capt
Hugh Rodman, superintendent of trans
portation, who directed the trip, voice.
similar sentiments.

Washington, August 16.-With the
passage through the Panama canal yes
terday Of the war department liner An
con, the great waterway becomes free
and open to the vessels of commerce
and of war of all nations on terms of
entire equality, in accordance with the
provisions of the Hay-P auncefote
treaty.
Vessels drawing not more than so feet
of water may now make the passage.
1t would be possible to put some of the
big American dreadnoughts through at
any time.
ANY of the foreign warships now in
the Atlantic and Pacific waters could
also make the trip, but the naval plans
of the European powers which have
vessels off both coasts are not known
here.
No embarrassment will face the United
States should one of the beligerents
seek passage. Strict rules are laid down
in the treaty for the perpetual neutral
ization of the canal, and every detail
will be under the direction of Governor
Goethals and his staff.
Except in cases of absolute necessity,
vessels of belligerents must make unin-
terrupted passage through the canal.
They may not coal revitualize or EN-
bark or disembark troops in the canal
zone, and these privileges also apply to
the terminal waters at both ends of the
canal, within limit of three miles.
Twenty-four hours is the limit of time
bellgerent vessel can remain within
the canal except in cases of distress,
and vessel of war of one belligerent
cannot depart within "a hours from the
departure of vessel of war of another
belligerent. All of the plants and es-
Establishments that are part of the canal
are immune from attack or injury by
any belligerents. Vigilant American
pilots will see that no foreign vessel
makes observations of the canal de-
| fences.
