Formal opening ceremonies at tho Panama canal probably will lie" postponed from starch to July, and Frcsfdont WllBon will go to 8an Francisco by rail In March and to Panama later when tho naval review will bo held. Although no formal announcement of tho change in plans has been raado the president has taken up the ques tion with Sccrotary Daniels. Tho report of Governor Goethals that ho could not guaranleo passage of warships at tho orginal time set for tho formal opening Is understood to have been instrumental In bring ing about tho change. Tho president today (old tho North Carolina congressional delegation ho would probably bo unablo to speak at tho unveiling of a monument to Gen eral Nathaniel Greene, at Guilford court house, N.

The battles In Gallcla appear to bo developing on a broader Bcalo along the Carpathians for a distance of 100 miles. Doth sides appear to attach great importance to tlio outcome. The Hungarians, It Is said, havp been concentrating In the Carpathian pnics aluco December, awaiting tin; arrival of Bavarian reinforcements. Mixed a Little An editor of a country weekly was recently making up a pago of his pap er, when ho "pled" a wedding notlco nud a notlco of a public sale. Ho gathorcd up tlio scattered matter and replaced It In tho form without tak ing a proof of it, and this Is tho way It read: "Win, Smith, 'only son of Joseph Smith, and l,ucy Maxwell wero dlspoFed of at public auction, one mllo east, In tho presence of 70 guests, in cluding 2 mules and 12 head of cat tle.

EA N MARSELLAISE THE DOLLAR ABOVE HUMANITY IN ittf pnsdioii for eeoiioniy tho legislature givbs sigits of going too far when it proposes to eripplb tlio state 1 Ji i t .lit J d . I .. eieeoniosynarv insuruuons uy ciuiuig jihu uppruprmmiiia deemed essential by those whose administration has proved effieient and who are best qualified to judge Of the needs of (he inmates. It is no fault, of the management of the state institu tions that the inmates are inereasiug out of all proportion to the increase in,the state's population. Insane asylums, feeble-niiiided institutions and our civilization, and speak louder than -words ol the out come of legislation placing the dollar before humanity. The least the state can do is to make adequate provision for the care of the wreckage created by social and industrial con ditions. Although a new insane asylum was recently built in eastern Oregon, the older institution has only sixty-nine fewer inmates than it had before the new asylum was built, which now contains HS0 inmates. Additions are no soohor constructed than they are filled. ' No oiie who is familiar with the institution can say that it is not a model institu tion of its kind and efficiently conducted. K the new wing asked for is not built the inmates will be crowded several in a room nud even forced to sleep in the corridors. The roof leaks in places nnd the windows nre far from secure. The last report shows 1G2G inmates of the insane asy lum, an increase of fifty-five for the last quarter. At the present rate of increase there will be close to 2000 at the close of the biennial period. "While the people seek economy, there has been no wnste shown in the management of any of the state insti tutions under the business administration of the present state board of control, and they do not want it at the ex pense of the helpless state wards. Emergency measures, saddling extra judges onto the taxpayers and other meas ures pending offer plenty of opportunity for legitimate economy, without punishing the unfortunate. GOVERNED BY FORMULA THE United States senate offal's a fine object lesson of the rule of conventionalism and formula. A number of Democrats are opposing the president and threatening to oppose the party program because of a few dinky offices sought by spoilsmen. The Republicans arc seeking to block legislation by re sortimr to tlio absurd filibuster tactics, wherein "senator ial courtesy" permits' one manded by a nation. The president is the sole representative of all the peo ple at "Washington. He should be clothed with" the same power and responsibility that the English clothe their prime minister with. Popular government is a political evolution. The fed eral constitution prevents or at least imposes every ob stacle to that evolution. It took fifty years to secure pop ular election of senators and all other political necessities have to overcome the same, bourbonisni. Rigid and immobile, the United States, restricted by its constitutional handicaps, imposed by those distrustful of the people, is far behind that of many constitutional monarchies in the actual rule of the people and the ability to secure legislation in response to popular demand. A MERITORIOUS MEASURE A BILL has passed the house, and should pass the sen ate (II. B. 120), which prohibits advertising signs, placards, posters or any advertising display along state highways, including the Pacific highway as well as the Columbia river highway. The bill reads in part: It rhall bo unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to panto, paint, brand or In any manner whatsoever placo or attach to any building, fence. Bate, bridge, tree, rock, board, structure or anything whatever, within tho limits ot any state highway , or on tho properly of another within view ot such highway without such owner's written consent, any written, printed, painted or other advertisement, bill, notice, sign, picture, card on postor. except within tho limits of nny city, town or village through which sold highway may run. A penalty of from $10 to $100 or imprisonment for not less than teii nor more than one hundred days is provided. Tlio law permits any person to remove or destroy any sign or advertisement placed in violation of the act. This is the first requisite toward beautifying the high way. Next will come the planting of shade trees, which the ladies of Jackson eoimtv have undertaken. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.- The Commercial club of Omaha today filed a complaint with tho interstate commcuo commission, charging the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fo and other railroads with discrimination against Omaha In favor of Loulsvlllo, Peoria, 111., and Cincinnati, In rates on alcohol, high wines, whiskey and brany shipped to points in Montana, or Washington and California.

NKW VORIC, Jan. 27. Frank P.

This Investigation, Mr. Walsh an nounced will bo begun within a few days after tho commission concludes Its hearings here, probably tho latter part of next week. He said he could not at this tlmo make public the names of witnesses who will be summoned to testify in Chicago, COAST GUARD BILL SIGNED BY PRESIDENT WASHINGTON, Jun. 28. Presi dent Wilson today higncd the conut guard hill, which carnitines the icv i'iiiic cutter Hcrvico nud lite liiV Hiivin Hvrvictfi . . PARENT-TEACHERS I Tho Pnrcnl-Tonchor associations have accomplished nt least ouo thliiK. they have brought about a recogni tion everywhere of tho need of greater co-operation between tho teacher nnd tlio parent a fact which must In tlmo help vastly to cltmlnato that unfortunate break be tween tho school and tho home. To tho child, his llfo nt homo Is . one thing tho real thing; school, how over much ho may bp Interested In It, is a thing sot apart, und cannot but becomo to soma degree artificial and stcrcoupod just as It falls ot 'hitching up" with real life ns he knows It outside. Anything that tends to make tho teacher regard the child as an Indi vidual and less as n disembodied In tellect, nud subject for "lessons," anything, on tho other hand, that helps tho parent to renllxo that the teachers nre human. olMntcntloued and generally able to see tho child with somowlmt jtister objectivity than tho paront hlmwlf cn will be a long gain toward tlio ltnllztng of our schools. This Is one hopo that the Parent-Teacher organization holds be fore Itself. ' Xccil of Co-opentllnn Hut tho need, of such co-operation Is no where moro crlng than In tho early high school years. Tho bojs and girls at that stugo are in that try ing period of adolescence, when. If over, they must bo regarded ns Indi viduals; they cannot be lumped, nnd ninssel, and Indiscriminately gorged yith texts, nubbllng with new phy sical life, bursting with a now self importance, awkward, sensitive ln nrtlculate, wallowing In seas of In consistency and foolishness, while of ten In turmoil of spirit In tho search ,for tho now Inward llfo which Is opened up in them In a chaos of choice and opoprtunlty It Is nt this period of vanishing childhood and on coming adulthood thnt every youth perilously needs tho combined holp of both tho teacher and tho homo. .Most liiiitortant Period No other period Is so important In tho fixing or Ideals and tho sotting of u bent. Now Is tho tlmo to catch wayward Impulses and reckless ener gies and to turn thorn Into such direc tion thnt they may be contorted Into fineness nnd gifts. Hut for this Is needed the superior skill nnd oppor tunity of tho tencher together with tho patience and Insight of the par ent who best poor the child In his environment nnd heredity. In organizing a Pnrent-Tcacher as sociation In our high school here, it has been earnestly hoped that all the parents of high school children would respond to this attempt to bring to gether tho homo nnd tho school, and would como to tho meetings eager to holp In a mooinunt that looks, toward the bettorlng of opportunities for odr boys nnd girls, and thrdugh this to nn enlarging of their possibilities for usefulness In tho future Tho first meeting will deal with a considera tion of thb need of organized physical training for tho high school. This Is a question that Iibb but ono nnswor. A sound wholo mind can hardly reside In an unsound body. G. Stanley Hall In his admirable book "Youth" which every mothor of an adolescent ought to read, says on this subject: Sound Mind In Hound IWnly "To learn to know nnd excellence and defect, to bo known for tho IIbI of things one can do and to havo n record or to reallzo what wo lack of power to break best records, oven to know that wo nrn strengthening some point whero heredity has loft us with somo shortcoming, nnd perhaps dan ger, tho realization of nil this may bring the first real and dcop feeling of growth that may becomo a passion later In things of tho soul. Body culture Is ultimately only' tor tho euko of tho mind and soUI, for body Is only Its other ego. Not only Is all musclo culture at tho samo tlmo brain building, but a hook-worm with soft hands and tender foot, or an cnomio girl prodigy, Mn tho morning hoctlc, In the evening electric,' is a monutor, Play at Its best Is only a school of othlcs. It gives not only strength but courage and confldonco, tends to simplify llfo and habits, brings out individuality, and gives energy, deci sion and promptness to tho will." A Good Resolution.
