Who Pays the Raise?

According to a report based on
an investigation by the bureau of
labor submitted to congress on
March LIST, the hard coal compan-
les have increased the wages of
81, 600, 600 year by the strike
agreement of last year. The
price of anthracite coal to con-
sumers has been increased $13,-
$50, 600. The net profits to the

FAT MONTANA HOGS TOP
THE ST. PAUL MARKET

A carload of fat hogs raised
at Columbus, Montana, was
recently sold on the St. Paul
market at the extreme top notch.
The animals were fed on alfalfa
and finished on wheat, and al
though brought into competition
with corn fed porkers, they were
easily the best delivered on that
day and attracted much attention
and comment on the part Of
stockmen and buyers. The pigs
tipped the beam at 2S7 pounds
and the excellence of their con-
dition is shown by the fact that
when dressed by the packers they
yielded the splendid percentage
of so IL, showing that Montana
can grow and fatten hogs equal
to any produced in the entire
country.
Hog growing and fattening in
Montana is comparatively in it's
infancy but with ideal climatic
conditions, freedom from disease
peculiar to the animals in eastern
states, with an abundance of feed
which produces the finest quality
of pork, and also judging from

THOMPSON STORE At ST.
|CNAT|US DESTROYED BY FIRE

Our neighboring town of St.
lgnatius was visited by a costly
fire early last Saturday morning.
The Christ Thompson store and
restaurant and the Buckhouse
meat market were entirely des-
troyed and only by the united
efforts of the people of St. Ig-
natius was the big general mer-
camille establishment of the
Beckwith Mercantile Co. saved.
About IL O'Clock on the pre-
ceeding night the work of oiling
the floor of the Thompson store
was finished and a fire built in
the stove for the purpose of dry
ing the oil into the floor, and it
is thought the fire was started
from the oil and too hot a fire in
the stove. The fire was discov-
cred at | O'Clock in the morning
and before the people could be
awakened and reach the store it
was beyond control and the loss
was practically complete. Mr..
Thompson places his loss at $12,-
600, half Of which is covered by
insurance. +. Johns who owned
the restaurant, lost $500, and
Buckhouse Bros. $1,000, neither
Of whom carried any insurance.
The people of Roman, who
know by sad experience what
a fire means, sympatizcs with
those who were the direct losers
and heartily congratulate those
who succeeded by hard work in
saving their property. much of
which was in great danger.

FLATHEAD SURVEY ORDERED

1t will be welcome news to the
residents of this valley to know
that the Northern Pacific will
very soon put a party of engi-
neers and surveyors in the field
to survey their line north from
Dixon, and this is the informal
ton received in Roman.
Secretary E. E. Healey, of the
Roman Commercial club, on Tues
day of this week received a letter
from President Elliott of that
road conveying this information.
In his letter Mr.. Elliott said:
I'VE have instructed our chief
engineer to put a party into the
Flathead reservation to make a
definite location of line, and
that party will be in there short
ly, but on account of bad weather
it has seemed unwise to start too
soon, because, as you know, the
roads are not very good in GER
tain parts Of the reservation and
progress would therefore be very
Slow"
From this statement it can be
seen that the Northern Pacific
certainly contemplates the build
ing of this line at an early date
and it is possible that it will be
done in time to move the 1913
crop. Going into the matter a
little further, President Elliott
says:
1T is a very unfortunate fact
that the attitude of the govern
ment toward the railroads in this
country has been such of late
years as to discourage railroad
investment. Whether that atti-
tude will change or not with the
incoming administration remains
to be seen.
Our plan, however, is to get
a definite location and be ready
to build if we find business con-
ditions such that we can raise
money on satisfactory terms for
such an enterprise"
The fact that the Northern
Pacific has signilied it's intention
of building into the Mission val
ley at an early date will give
those already here renewed con-
fidence and will undoubtedly in
duce many others to come and
take up their residence in this
valley. Even though the line is
not built this season, the definite
location of the road will help ma
terially. 1t is beyond doubt en-
couraging and Mr.. Elliott's let
ter is good news to all the Mis-
sion valley.

DECLARES MODERN MOTHER
NEGLECTS HOME DUTIES

Representative Ezekeils of
Silver Bow county took occasion
to fevently criticize the modern
mothers in an address to the
lower house last Saturday while
the anti-cigarette bill was up for
discussion.
The women of Montana urged
the passage of the anti-cigarette
bill and maintained considerable
of a lobby in Helena, to which
fact was due the remarks of the
representative from Silver Bow.
The home of today and the
home of forty years ago were
contrasted, much to the advan-
tage of the latter.
He said: THE women of the
present day are engaged in other
things than looking after their
families, and these other things
require considerable time. You
seldom find the mother at home
today. She is out playing bridge
or attending a sewing guild. The
girls are out at night and the
boys run the streets all the time.
When the father rises in the
morning they don't say any
more: Father, how did you rest
last night" but they say, We'll,
old man, how do you feel to-
day? y He declared that if the
women devoted more time to
their homes and less to matters
outside the home, their children
would not be forming the cigar
cite habit, nor would it be neces-
sary for the women to come
to the legislature seeking the
enactment of a bill to stamp
out habit that would not have
been formed if the children re-
ceived the care at home they
should.
While very severe, the remarks
apply in a great
many cases, but by no means in
all. The big majority of rural
homes are still presided over by
ideal mothers and few if any of
these are to be found filling the
ranks Of the marching women Of
today. They have other and bet
ter things to demand their at
tention and it is a safe prediction
that not one of these was to be
found in the Hobbies of the cap
itol clamoring for the passage of
the anti-cigarette law. The re-
marks of Representative Eek
ellis on the floor of the house un-
doubtedly were heard by many
for whom they were intended,
but the mothers of the old school |
did not hear and they will not
finch or blush at what he said.

FEW SEEK HON0RS
At TOWN ELECTION

At the present time there ap.
pears to be no scramble for
honors at the hands of the
qualified electors of the town of
Roman. 1t is only thirty days
from now until the annual town
election and if there are any who
have the bee buzzing in their
bonnet it is time their wishes
and desires were made known.
At the election ON April 9TH there
will be full set Of town officials
elected, six aldermen and one
mayor. Three of the aldermen
will hold office for one year and
three for two years, and the man
lucky enough to be chosen mayor
will sit supreme for a term of
two years. The inducements are
sufficient to warrant any promi-
nent, aggressive and ambitious
citizen to seek one or the other
of these seven positions of honor
and trust, but up to this time
there is only one avowed candi-
date so far as this paper has
been able to learn. True, there
may be others who are in a
receptive mood and who might
be induced to accept one of the
positions in case the people in
sisted strenuously enough, but
nowadays it is not customary for
the people to be placed in the
position of begging public SER
wants to fill public positions
especially of the lucrative sort
and any citizen of Roman who
feels that he might fill the re-
quirements demanded of a mayor
or town coucilman should not
force people into this position.
He should let the fact become
konwn that he is of the proper
caliber to fill the bill and that he
also is willing to demonstrate his
ability by devoting one or two
years of his life to the public
welfare. Roman is sorely in
need of at least seven of Just
such citizens. That such number
will eventually be found, there is
little doubt, but the suspense in
cident to the weary days of wait
ing is becoming strenuous. That
we have at least one avowed
candidate is some consolation,
but not enough.
For mayor, Mr.. Joe Haine-
bcah, more familiary known as
Buffalo Joe, p" is an avowed can
didate. He is willing to devote
two years of the best part of his
life in taking care Of the various
interests of the town of Roman
and has circulated a petition ask
ing that his name appear on the
official ballot as a candidate for
this position. Joe has great
hopes that he will be chosen and
promises that if he is there will
be great things doing in the |

And the Reserva
ton Schools.

The milestones Of human pro-
gress in the various departments
of thought and activity are the
successive stages of the growth
of democracy and the successive
Improvements in it's application.
In religion, in government, in
industry and in education. We
have advanced into an era of un-
precedented promise. Never be-
fore have the ideals of a gener-
alton been so high and so capable
of fulfillment. Crystalizations
of aristocracy are melting away
before the advance of dem
ocracy like ice before the ap-
proach Of a spring thaw. And
this democracy is more or less
consciously organized and sys-
tematic and business like.
Where the best school advan-
tages We're once the special per-
ogative Of the rich, they are now
becoming the common right of
all-education for the people, by
the people and of the people.
Where education has been here
tofore largely a separate depart
ment with comparatively slight
connection with the daily expert
ence of it's possessors, the whole
present trend is to become indis-
solubly bound up with the COM
mon needs, material interests
and vital principles and ideals of
the whole public. The school and
the community should be and are
becoming in essence identically
one and the same.
This movement of education
has so permeated the life and
consciousness of our whole ma
ton that, go where you may, you
will see the earmarks of a new
era, of a wonderfully quickened,
logical development of the dem
ocratic principle and the efficiency
of it's application. In a few cit
les where the greater facilities
of wealth have obtained there
are instances of marked advance
ment. There individual ability
and social efficiency are we'll pro-
vided for. Not only is the intel
lect trained to accuracy and pro-
ficiency, but the moral nature
cultivated for the good of each
individual, and the muscles edu-
Gated for the individual welfare,
but the pupils are being modelled
into useful agents of social SER
vice, taught to function naturally
in the social organism of which
they are essential parts. They
are learning citizenship by func-
tioning as citizens, business
through vital commercial inter-
ests. manual service by manual
labor as electricians, carpenters,
blacksmiths, plumbers, cooks and
housewives; agriculture and hor-
ticulture by productive activity
with a view to commercial re-
ward, and any and all occupa.
tional work which they may elect
or their talents require. Leaving
school to them is not entering a
new and foreign element, but
a natural step of advance
ment in responsibility and oppor-
tunity. Fortunate they are that
after finishing their schooling
they do not need to walk the
earth like disembodied spirits,
wondering what shall be their
what field offers them
the best chance Of self express
sion and social service, as is so
often the case under the system
which is now becoming outgrown,
outworn and obsolete.
How fares it with our rural
schools? Are they having equal
advantages with the city schools?

THE NEW ERA IN EDUCATION


ing better and more complete
equipment to enable them to ex-
tend and enrich their course of
study? Judged by their fruits,
where do they stand education
ally?
Your typical country school
house supplies an area with a
radius of let us say three miles.
In equipment it has the bare nee
essities of bodily comfort: no in
dustrial shops, no laboratories.
Its curriculum covers the bare
prescribed course of the state
board up to the eighth grade,
covers it in such a way as to
sometimes practically smother it.
Fortunately we sometimes find
the situation redeemed by a noble
woman or man who is a teacher
by the grace of God, hero. a
martyr and a genius. But how
often? The faculty consists of
one harried, unspecialized and
overworked teacher. With what
result? The pupils are not suf-
ficiently devoted to their skeleton
of a school; it does not partake
of the character of the full, rich
life of opportunity and inspir-
alton; it is an experience too
much apart and unrelated. The
course of study is a mere brief,
unpadded by the flesh and blood,
unshaped by the g'races of the
culture of higher life and teach
ing.
We find the case even one of
ply sical impossibility. One teach
er to find time and energy in five
and ore-half hours to conduct
from 22 to % class recitations,
give individual assistance, main
tain discipline, inspire higher
motives and encourage good citi-
zenship. Mark Twain once re-
marked about bicycle riding that
he had seen it done but it is
impossible" How would he have
characterized a school system
which requires one person to be
sole sponsor and teacher for
eight grades, covering every sui
ject in the common school curri-
culum.
Further, the typical rural
school does not offer and cannot
afford instruction higher than the
eighth grade. After graduating
from this grade the pupil about
Is years of age as a rule must be
thrown out of school entirely or
his guardians must send him
elsewhere to attend high school.
This practically all are unwilling
or unable to do. So that in this
stage of the child's
education, our rural school sys-
TEN falls down completely.
Now is it necessary that we
country people who rear children
in a splendid natural environ
ment, fit to make the finest and
best men and women and citi-
zens, the eternal source of
to the nation. submit to
such inadequate school condi-
lions? Or is there a way where
by we may come to the very
front in education, thus afford
ing our children educational ad-
vantages fully equal to those of
The city, improving country life
and greatly strength
ening the state and nation?
Those who have studied it
carefully, believe that CONSOLE
lation, the centralizing of teach
ng force and faculties, COM
oined with scientific supervision,
affords the panacea for the evils
