The daily press last week told
us that two regular army officers
have recommended the actual use
of the bayonet in training the
soldiers of our army. They say
that to make of a man the prop
err kind Of a fighter he must
know the actual feeling of the
knife as it enters the raw flesh,
and recommends that they be
made to cut and thrust upon the
carcass of a beef at the barrack
kitchen. Now that is modern
civilization for you, and in an
age of agitation of eternal peace.
In other words a soldier can not
be expected to be an efficient one
until he is entirely case hardened
and able to butcher an adversary
with a bayonet and must not
hesitate to become a bloodthirsty
william and dark age cut throat.
Some mighty queer people secure
positions of authority and as the
critics of discipline in our SER
vice.

That women in Washington
are proving capable and worthy
officials is the statement Of the
press these days. A Vancouver
women acted as justice of the
peace in a case and her decisions
are said to have been as good as a
justice of the supreme court
would do. Another Washington
woman served on a jury in a
murder case the other day and
stood the test as well as the
other members. Women should
be allowed the privileges of the
male portion and with it the
right to vote.

cultivation, and that statement is
the most detrimental that has
been made concerning the reser-
walton up to date. The Pioneer
believes that the land here is
capable of producing crops for a
longer period than a few years,
and it also believes that the
Major did not mean to say as he
is quoted in the interview. The
land here will stand cultivation
just as long, and perhaps longer,
than some of the lands in other
parts of the country, and there
it is still productive and has been
farmed for over a century.

Death of c. A. Bulen

The death of c.. A. Bulen &C.
Cured at the residence of S. G.
Irish northeast of Roman last
Sunday morning, Dec. 3lst, of
pneumonia. He was IS years of
age and had only recently come
here from Shelby, in this state,
to which place the body was
taken for burial.

ever, remarks that in the mangrove
fringed oceans of the east such leaves
are actually common, and he adds that
a bifacia leaf is zone of the common

1t must be said however, that nature
has not displayed any especial partial
ity toward the little leaf fish in her
distribution of self preservation favors.

enough to keep the white underside

Another Rural Route

A petition will be in circulation
the first of next week asking
that another rural route be estab-
listed. starting at Roman and
covering the territioy to the west
and southwest of town. 1t starts
at Roman and goes one-half mile
west, thence | mile south, thence
2 miles west, thence mile north,
thence 7 IL miles west, thence
8 miles south, thence l mile east,
thence / mile north, thence l
mile east, thence 2 miles south,
thence | mile east, thence l mile
north, thence l 3-4 miles east,
thence l IL miles south, thence
2 miles east, thence l mile north,
thence 2 IL miles east, thence l
mile north to point OF beginning.
This makes a route practically
% miles long and would accom-
modate over 100 families who are
now many miles from a post
office and would afford them a
service which would be very
grateful to all of them. To more
accurately describe the route
would be to sap that it goes west
to the lane leading south from
the ice house to the Cox corner
and from there west until after
Mud creek is crossed, then to the
township line and then west to a
point 10 miles due west of Roman,
from there it traverses the coun-
try southeast and crosses Crow
creek and supplies the people in
the DR.. Resner neighborhood and
returns to the Manning crossing
of Grow creek and thence east to
the intersection OF the Ronan-St.
Ignatius road and then north to
town.
With two petitions in circula-
ton it will demonstrate to the
department at Washington that
there are a large number of peo-
pie here who should be accom-
modated with rural routes. The
fact that Roman is the only post
office supplying all this territory
is factor which helps in secur-
ing these routes and no doubt
with the assistance of the Mon
tana delegation in congress to
urge the matter, both will event.

Switch boards, telephones and
all other material have arrived
at Roman and Dixon for complete
exchanges at these points. Work
is being rushed with all diligence
to complete these exchanges and
commence giving service at the
earliest possible time. A large
force of men are now setting
more than thirty miles of poles
in the territory between Roman
and the Flathead river, for the
purpose of giving service to the
ranchers.

nothing has been heard from it, and l

Our great railway station is certainly
a thing of beauty and a very great JOY.
The fact that YOU are adding terraces

assures that you want to make it the

it is fitting that it should be so. Nothing
can be too grand and sumptuouS for this

Medical Society of District
Against New Hospital Plan

The Medical Society of the District at
its meeting i'll George Washington Uni
versity medical building last night by an
to combat the proposition Of the board
of charities to divorce the public and
private hospital work of the District and
to erect q municipal hospital to care for
all the INDECENT sick in the District.
The resolution was presented by DR..
p. S. Roy and had practically the unanl-
nous support of the meeting except DIR.
George NJ Kober member of the board
of charities
Debate Becomes Heated.
During the debate on the resolution
DR.. A. B. Hooe and Dr. kober entered
into wordy war, the former charging
that DR.. Kober was not physician in
active practice and therefore had no
place at the meeting of the Medical So
ciety. and also under the law providing
for the appointment of a board of chart
ties DR.. kober had no right to be
member of that board. as he was dean of
the Georgetown University Medical
School. which maintains a hospital that
receives money at the direction OF the
board of charities for the care of indi
gent patients.
DR.. Kober insisted that it was to the in
terests of the District that the govern
ment should control the work for the in
digent sick in a municipal hospital of its
own, rather than continue the plan OF
appropriating for the various private hos
pitfalls in return for their care of the ind-
gent sick.

Report of Committee.

The report Of the public health CONT
tee was in part as follows:
The weight of testimony of nearly I'll
the men appearing before the committee
indicates that it is very unwise to adj
vocate the separation of public and pri-
waite charities, for the following reasons
1T has a tendancy to pauperize the
public.
1t will surely stife private contribu-
tons.
1T places in an emb arrassing position
that group Of citizens who when i'll car
and are willing to pay part for Their
treatment.
1T has been stated before the commi :
tee. and the committee appreciates q {
force of the argument, that municipa
hospital is very liable to come under tbs
control of physicians whose political l.
fiuences are the greatest and whose skill
is not necessarily the highest, and thu.
scientific work in such an institution l.
liable to. fall below the standard.
Can the emergency work of the Dis
trict be incorporated in the municipa
hospital idea?
The committee reports that in its he
lief the recommendations of the beard
of charities TO unite the emergency work
of the District of Columbia with a munic
ipal hospital by means OF first aid sta
tons is very unwise for the following
reasons: 1t is very impractical. 1t i
highly expensive. 1t increases the ele
ment of risk to life of individuals tc
whom accidents have occurred.

Holds Plan Ic.oracticable.

The representatives of Georgetown
and George Washington university hos
pitfalls are anxious that Congress consider
the advisability of having the emergency
work of the District carried on by the
hospitals of their respective institutions
!, should the Emergency Hospital be aban-
doned In fact ii suggested that
the Emergency Hospital should go out
of existence, and the ,unds on hand be
| divided between the two university hos
pitfalls to carry on the emergency work
of the District, and that the yearly APP
preparations by Congress be also given
the said two institutions.
Under the above plan it is reasonab bic
/ to suppose that ID per cent Of the present
work carried on by the Emergency Hos
ptal would necessarily so to the George
Washington University hospital.
/ Your committee believes that il is i'm
possible for the George Washington Uni
versity Hospital to do in its presen,
quarters the work now carried on by the
| Emergency Hospital for the following
reasons: AS an institution doing private
work. 1t is at present much overcrowded
| The present buildings are not fireproof
and therefore it is inadvisable that they
should be further crowded. 1t contains
| only two wards for wLite male and fe-
male. and has at present no provisions
whatsoever for colored patients.
i The committee suggests that com
! mittee composed of disinterested med
ical men and laymen should manage
the distribution Of funds voted by Con
! gress for the various hospitals of the
| city. rather than that distribution
| should come under the board of chart
| ties, whose representatives in mos
| cases are closely affiliated with the va
rious hospitals of the city.
DR.. Kaufman Quotes Law.
| Dr. Kaufman called attention to the
| fact that DIR. George NJ. kober. who j.
the medical man on the board of chart
| ties, is also dean of Georgetown Uni.
/ versity Medical School. DR.. kaufman
pointed out that the university main.
