Parent and Teacher,

Another parent-teachers' association is
projected-it is actually planned-in one
OF Washington's suburbs. This merito-
rious idea of closer understanding be-
tween parents and teachers has made re-
markable progress and no doubt has
achieved commendable results within a
few years, and it is destined to so spread
and extend that it will at length link all
parents of public school children and all
teachers of public school children in a
harmonious endeavor to promote the
school and home happiness of children
and to advance their mental state.
Too long have too many parents shirked
just responsibility for the welfare of
their children simply by trundIing them
Off to school, with the belief or the wish
that the teacher would not only hear the
recitation of the lessons, but would mold
the manners. habits and character of the
pupils, thus relieving parents of the per-
Torrance of this duty. Too long have too
many teachers learned nothing directly
of the home life and home influences OF
their pupils.
This get-together movement Of parents
and teachers promises good for the child
and increased efficiency for the school.

The Mexican Middle.

The Mexican situation shows no inn
provement. The blocking of the way OF
the commission for the elimination and
examination of Benton's body is an
other of the incidents too frequently
happening to fog and complicate con-
ditions. Villa is reported as saying that
the order delaying the Benton investi-
cation commission which was halted at
Juarez was issued by Carranza, who
had determined to handle all diplo-
matte subjects himself. The report from
London was that the parliamentary
secretary of the foreign office an
nounced in the house of commons that
the American Secretary of State had
furnished the explanation that the
Benton commission did not proceed be-
cause it was considered unsafe for it
to do so.
Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign
secretary, said in the house of COM
mons today that all efforts at securing
an investigation into the death of Ben
ton had SO far failed. and that the pre-
sumption was that the constitutional
lists were seeking to conceal the truth.
There was no disposition on the part
Of the British government to hold the
United States government responsible
for the safety of British subjects in
Mexico, that government having shown
as much interest in the death of Brit
ish subject as it had in the cases Of
outrages on American citizens. The
idea of the dispatch of a British force
to Mexico was fantastic. and such ex-
petition would be futile.
The news at Washington today repre-
sents the President as still strongly
against Intervention, but as discussing
the situation in less hopeful tone.

Car-Step Accident.

Impetuosity of youth and extraordinary
crowding of the street cars were prob
ably the causes of the unhappy accident
yesterday in which one high school boy
was killed and three injured by being
knocked from the steps of street car
by vehicle standing near the curb.
There has perhaps been no other time
in the history of the city when street
cars have been SO crowded as during
this storm. The failure of the cars Of
one system to run multiplied the burden
on the cars of the other system. One
system after partial recovery from its
breakdown operated cars under reduced
schedule with the result that there was
dangerous overcoming. In the matter
of the sidedoor cars crowds chung to the
entrances SO that conductors had much
-rouble In closing the doors, and there
was delay in getting the cars under way.

since John Kelly, then leader of Tam
many Hall, defled his enemies in the
party, and ran a state ticket OF his
own.
: There is no likelihood Of a Tammany
bolt this year whatever Mr.. Osborn
| may do. But there is difference be-
tween Tammany merely regular and
Tammany earnestly active. In the one
case a large vote is never polled. In
the other case a deciding vote often is.
Two years ago, Notwithstanding the
drubbing 1T had received at Baltimore,
Tammany worked hard for Mr.. Will
son, and was the source Of his success
in New York.
The New York democrats have chosen
a man of large means, fine ability and
high standing for chairman of their
state committee. He comes of distin-
guished democratic stock. His father
helped Mr.. Tilden uncover Tweed S
record. and send Tweed to Jail, where
he died. He himself has held several
offices of Importance. A Princeton man,
he went straight from school into
politics, and gave his first allegiance
to Mr.. Cleveland.
He has undertaken a mans job.
Things political in both parties in New
York are at SKIES and sevens, and in
the democratic party chaos almost
exists.
But Mr.. Osborn starts with the open
favor Of Gov. Glynn, whose candidacy
for full term at Albany he may be
called upon to support, and the implied
favor of. the national administration.
Mr.. Wilson wants to see his party in
New York in marching and conquering
order again, and will do all in his
power in aid of the general in COM
mand.
For ultimate reward should he sue
coed, Mr.. Osborn, who is in the early
fifties, has much to hope. An elective
office at home, or substantial recogni-
ton by Mr. Wilson should the demo-
Gratis win again in 1915, may be sug
geSted.

The Fire Danger.

Washington was fortunate in escaping
a serious fire during the high wind Of
Sunday night and yesterday. These great
storms of cold and wind are favorable
to conhagration- Fortune also favored
in the matter Of yesterdays fire at st.
Johns Church Orphanage and the fire
men deserve praise for their work there
These alert and jealous public servants
never fail to do their duty. Fire In an
institution shelterins sixty small chill
dren and on a day such as yesterday
was a thing full Of dread possibilities
Luck, discipline of the firemen and calm
ness of those good women in charge of
tho chiIuren averted disaster. All the
tires breaking out during the progress of
the great storm were extinguished with
out large loss Of property or other very
serious consequences.

Bury the Wires!

Every storm that breaks drives home
the lesson that the place for telegraph,
telephone and Other wires is under
ground. In the storm which seems now
happily to be passing railroad business
in the storm area was paralyzed and the
paralysis was due mainly to the fact
that communication was cut off by
broken wires and that railroad tracks
were Uttered with fallen poles and wires.
In the cities swept by the storm and in
which communication is maintained by
means of air wires and where street rail-
road traffic is carried on by overhead
wires great loss resulted. The first cost OF
buryinS the wires is, of course. great,
but there would be an ultimate economy.
That fact is known. but corporations gen.
orally find it hard to part with large
first cost even for the sake of increased
efficiency and ultimate economy.

Congress and the Trusts.

The "feelers' on the trust question
put out under administration influences
are serving their purpose. Responses
show that wide differences of opinion
exist between business men and politi-
clans as to what the situation demands.
1t is not the contention of the business
world that nothing should be done at
this session of Congress. On the con-
trary. 1t is conceded that as the party in
power is pledged to action in furtherance
of its antitrust professions this is the
time for action. But it Is insisted. and
properly. that nothing should be done
in heat or haste, or in mere redemption
of stump speeches.
The peril to business lies there. Much
of the existing antitrust sentiment has
been created by the reckless use of
political catch phrases. Fluent spell
binders, without a days experience in
business Of any kind, and therefore with
out knowledge OF the details of business,
big or little, have made the trust topic
almost their own for stamping purposes.
and for years have been sowing their
transformation and half-baked notions
broadcast.
The democracy has now to deal in a
practical way with the condition thus
produced. 1t must reject all CUFF" and
legis ate in the light Of facts carefully
ascertained and opinions on them gath
cred from expert sources 1t is of no
moment today what Mr.. Y said at
Podunk two years ago about interlock
ing directories, or what Mr.. 2 staked his
reputation on at Shady Grove respecting
the Importance of appointing smelling
committee" to throw a scare" into the
trusts and keep 1t there.
The President has said that he is no
enemy Of business, and wants nothing
done by Congress to injure business. And.
of course. that cannot be challenged.
He expressed friendship for business in
the tariff matter. and Congress, thus
continued. gave five months to the work
OF revision. He took the same ground
as to the currency, and time was con-
sumed in preparing that legislation.
So now with trust legislation. What
ever is done will touch business most
intimately, and on that account should
not touch it harmfully. Nobody wants
d panic. Nobody would profit by a panic
in the long run. Everybody is interested
in prosperity, and DESTROYS that the pres
ent depression in business circles pass
soon.
Such being the case, all legislation
bearing on the trust question-whether
as to preserving the Sherman law with
out change, or what should be done to
supplement that statute-calls for the
utmost pains in its preparation. No leg
islation would be better than legislation
enacted under whip and spur. and in
defiance of all protests from business
bodies speaking from thorough knowl
edge of business conditions and methods

Inauguration Date Change.

The storm has revived interest in the
oft and long proposed change of the date
of Inauguration day. Interest in this
venerable subject is revived around
March each year, but unfortunately the
interest is not well enough sustained or
not powerful enough to effect the desired
change. Perhaps the logic of the situa-
ton will finally prevail and the great
quadrennial national event will take
place at a pleasant and a proper sea-
son. 1t is not wise to give way to de-
spondency because of previous failure of
change of date plans. A question is never
settled until it is settled right. There
was something of encouragement in what
Representative Henry of Texas said to
Star reporter yesterday. That was
in substance that he meant once more to
put his shoulder to the wheel and push
for change of date. Mr.. Henry has
made a number of strong efforts in that
direction and is familiar with the PROPOSE
ton and the obstacles which are always
found to be in the way of the reform.
Senator Overman. chairman of the COM
mittee on the judiciary. which reported
adversely the Shafroth date-change reso-
luton, said yesterday that the storm
warranted a revival of the subject.
The inauguration of tho President and
the Vice President of the United States
has come to be the greatest of national
spectacles. 1t is customary for a great
host of Americans to attend it. 1t is
custom that ought not to be changed
and which cannot be changed A custom
that will withstand the disbursements
of the various fourths of March is a
hardy custom The ceremonies have
often been grievously marred by the
weather and millions of people have suf-
fered discomfort and loss. March en-
posture has cost many lives. The inau-
guration occurs at the most treacherous
and inclement season. Common sense
calls for a change of date.

Chairman Osborn.

Whenever you want me. send for
me-" So said Charles +. Murphy to Will
liam Church Osborn. the newly elected
chairman of the New York democratic
state committee. Mr.. Murphy had voted
for Mr.. Osborn.
VIII Mr.. Osborn send for Mr.. Murphy?
If he does it will be for the purpose Of
securing Tammany's assistance by
Tammauy's methods. The organization
has definite lines of procedure. and fol-
lows no other. What tho effect would
be were Tammany put to work by
methods foreign to its nature and his
tory nobody may say. Love me, love
my style of doing business" Tam

John Barrett's Method Finds Favor

From the Columbus Dispatch.
John Barrett's method of settling the
trouble in Mexico is finding ever-increas-
ing favor John Barrett is secretary OF
the Pan-Ame:ican Union, and, during the
Taft administration, startled the govern
ment by proposing that the United States
ask the stronger of the South American
Countries to assist in the Mexican pacii-
cation. He urged that several govern
ments, acting together, could do peace
fully what the United States could not do
without exciting armed opposition. Mr..
Barrett suffered the usual fate Of man
with a new idea.

they have been SO overcrowded at times
that men and women have been jammed
on the back platforms and have chung
to the handrails with a small foothold
on the steps. The law is against riding
on the car steps. but the conductors in
numerous instances have been unable to
enforce 1t.
The accident of yesterday is one which
might happen on any day during the
rush hours of morning and evening. Peo-
pie are impatient to get on board a par
ticular car and they take too great risks
on the steps. Many killings have re-
suited from riding on the steps and the
running boards of street cars.
