BROWER RETURNS
RAILROAD PASS

Missoula has no monopoly of
the legislators who refuse rail-
road transportation. Hon. A. J.
Brewer received his pass Tues
day Of this week and immedia-
tely returned it with thanks.
Mr.. Brewer says that he does
not wish to appear as being
under the influence of any cor
poration which may be seeking
favors at the hands of the legis-
lature and therefore feels it his
duty to decline free transporta-
ton.
He voted against the measure
when it was before the house,
believing that it was a bill calcu-
lated to influence the vote of
members and therefore vicious
legislation.
So far as heard from this
makes five members who have
declined the passes, three Of
whom are Missoula county mem
bers. Ronald Higgins, Rep.
Henley and Mr.. Brewer, with
Drinkard of Fergus another and
the fifth being Kirschwing of
Cascade county.

NON.ATTENDANCE
IN OUR SCHOOLS

In the spring time the young
lads fancy lightly turns to fish
ing, base ball, and divers forms
Of hockey" Hence temptation,
hence truancy. But such is not
the serious trouble affecting the
attendance in our schools. The
teacher easily secures good at
tendance where the children are
not discouraged by their parents.
The poor attendance in this dis
trict is to be laid at the door of
the parents.
The grade system of school or
ganization requires regular at
tendance above all things; for in
this system The class is the unit,
and individual activity must keep
pace with class activity or end in
extinction for the individual and
injury to the class. Poor at
tendance is likely to prevent pro-
motion into another grade; and
it is bound to hold whole classes
back from a satisfactory grade
standard. Result: Demoraliza-
ton of the mental and moral
habits of individual and class.
To be non-attendant pupil is to
bear the responsibility of self
injury and of injuring others.
However the real offender is the
reactlonary, unprogressive, dead
weight parent.
Quite a number of pupils have
been taken from school with ap-
proach of spring and the spring
work. In some cases such &C
ton on the part of the parents
has been more or less excusable,
because of the extreme need of
assistance in the fields without
the means to hire. In the ma
jority of cases however the with
of pupils from school
has been from force of habit,
ignorance, Indifference to pater-
nal duties and obligations, or
greed, or all together. The diff
ference between such a parent
and a criminal, an outlaw of So
ciety, is not as great as it was
once thought to be. For his own
temporary present comfort he
robs the present and future of
his own child.
Our laws are gradually ap-
preaching such a view. We
must thank the present legisla-
i've assembly for at least this:
That it has enacted an effective
compulsory attendance law. All
children between 8 and IA are
required to be in school during
he entire term except for illness
" when they are specially excus-
I'd by the superintendent for
certain good reasons. If the /
parents are unable to compel
heir attendance, then the chill
lren shall be sent to the indus
rial school; if unwilling and re-
in their duties, then
he parents Or guardians are
liable to fine and to be bonded to
guarantee the regular attendance
If their children.
Superintendent Logan is de-
to begin strict en-
orcement of the law in this dis
rict as soon as practicable. 1t
5 expected that throughout the
ext school year the truant and
on-attendance law will be rigid
Y enforced.

Roman, Mont, April Is, 1913.
THREE FULL YEARS OLD

This issue of the Pioneer com
pletes Volume III. The paper is
now three years old and with
another issue will have started
on the fourth milestone.
1t was in May, 1910. that the
Pioneer made it's initial bow tC
the people who were then sett-
ling up the Flathead reservation,
the first issue appearing before
the opening of the reservation.
At that time the paper prophe-
sled great things for those who
had come here with the inten-
ton of making homes for them
selves, and it has not at any
time since lost faith in what was
said at that time. The natural
resources of the country are so
many and varied that there can
be no question Of the ultimate
success attending those who
homesteaded the fertile acres,
and have bought the land of the
Indian who has been permitted
to sell his holdings. The climate
of which so much has been said
in the past, attracts and holds
people once they are here and
know it's worth. No extremes
of heat or cold, violent storms
such as wreck and devast other
sections of the country are un-
known to us, and this fact makes
the Flathead an ideal place for
the pleasant and congenial home.
The Pioneer never tires of ex-
tolling the greatness Of the Flat
head and it's fertile lands. The
climate grows in the estimation
of this paper as the birthdays
come around and while it may
sound a little too optimistic, the
belief prevails that in a few
short years this element alone
will be the country's greatest as
set. People love to live in COM
fort so far as the climate con-
trolls and here it can be found in
all it's enjoyment.
The town of Roman has grown
and suffered during the three
years the Pioneer has been a
part of the upbuilding of the
country. 1t has been both fortu-
nate and unfortunate. Fortune
has given us a community which
will test out with the best of
towns, and unfortunate in hav-
ing the almost entire business
section destroyed in a fire, the
effects of which are felt even un-
til this day. But it will require
more than one fire to discourage
the people who have determined
to build a city where the town
Of Roman now stands.
The Pioneer is in fact the old
est paper on the Flathead reser-
walton. There was a paper be-
ing printed in Poison at the time
the first issue of the Pioneer
made its appearance, but that
paper has ceased to exist and its !
name no longer is associated
with the history of the Flathead. I
1t was absorbed by a Compel
;tor who discarded the name and
thereby lost the prestige which
age might have given it. 1t is
the real pioneer in the newspaper
field, as its name implies.
The policy of the past will he
strictly adhered to in the future.
1t will attempt to give the news,
treat everybody alike SO far as
its columns are concerned and !
endeavor to serve the people in
every legitimate way. 1t may II
fail to do so but the effort will /
be made at least
