WASHINGTON, Jnn. 2S. Formal
opening ceremonies at tho Panama
canal probably will lie" postponed

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. C, July 4, because ho

PKTHOaiUD, via London. Jan. 28.
The battles In Gallcla appear to bo
developing on a broader Bcalo along
the Carpathians for a distance of 100

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

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.

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.
