HON. A. ]. BR0WER CAN
O|OATE FOR STATE SENATE

Hon. A. ]. Brewer has an
nounced himself as a candidate
for the republican nomination
for state senator and his petit
tions are now in circulation. Mr..
Brewer did not make up his
mind whether to be a candidate
or not until last week after at
tending a meeting of the repub-
lican county central committee
at Missoula, of which he is a
member, and had received the
assurances from many of his
friends that his candidacy
would be acceptable to a great
many of them.
Mr.. Brewer is the Roman
member of the lower house at
this time, and he relies upon his
record during the last session
of the legislature to carry him
through successfully this time.
Up to the present time no other
candidate has announced HIM
self to compete with Mr.. Brewer
for the republican nomination,
although others are mentioned.

SPECIAL FEATURES At THE
MONTANA STATE FAIR

One Of the new and distinc-
lively novel features of "The
Fair that Educates" will be the
educational department of the
Montana State Fair. In this
unique contest any pupil in the
state, whether attending at a
one-room country school house,
rim the best graded city school,
will stand an equal chance to
become the champion speller.
The county champions will first be
determined by the county SUPER
intendents, and will later COM
pete at the fair. An amount of
$4,000 will go to the various
winners, with a sum of $40. 90
to the champion of Montana.
Spelling books should be a
popular diversion for the chill
dren during vacation as attempts
will probably be made to brush
up on spelling for the state fair
contest.
Besides the opportunity of
competing in the educational
phases, the boys and girls will
have many other chances at the
premiums of the fair. F.S.Lusk
of Missoula, has inaugurated a
pig contest in which he offers
prizes of one numbered dollars to
the boys and girls who raise the
best pigs in Montana. The state
fair has joined in this movement
by adding an extra $4,000 max
ing a total of $4,000 in the
boys and girls pig contest.
Besides these donations, are the
premiums offered by the Folger
Spice Company of San Fran
cisco, and awards gixen by Harry
Childs of the Yellowstone Park
hotels, and the usual medals in
the boys and girls corn and po-
tato growing, and corset cover
sewing contests, all of which are
outlined in the 1914 premium
catalog, copies of which have
been sent broadcast over the
state.

high school. If a pupil has had only
a part of the eigth grade work, he
may be admitted to do such work as
he can in the ninth grade, and ar
rangements will be. made for him to
strengthen himself and qualify in
such subjects as he may be backward
in. wish to hear from all persons
in District % who are thinking of go
ing to high school this year, particu-
larly if they are ready for the Junior
or Senior year, so that may make
arrangements accordingly. I shall be
glad to assist anyone in his or her
ambition to get high school educa-
tion, whenever can find a way,
Places may be secured for a limited
number where they can work for
their board and room by assisting at
housework or chores. Janitor work
will offer employment to a few de-
pendable and Industrious boys and
girls. S. R. LOGAN

If the editor of the Pioneer
should send away from Roman to
buy his groceries, there is not a
merchant in Roman who would
not roar his head off; but there
is only one firm in town but what
buys envelopes of the govern
ment. 1t saves them a few cents
per hundred, but in that case it
is the merchant who saves and
not the buyer of such goods as
they have to sell. Condemnation
of mail order houses by a local
paper always brings words of
praise from local merchants, but
buying of Uncle Sam by the said
!. m. to the detriment of the
local printer is another matter.
Be consistent. -

Missoula has three candidates
for congress the present men,
ber, Hon. John M. Evans, again
a candidate as a democrat. w. j.
Mccormick and Harry H. Par
sons, both republicans, who as
pire to succeed him. 1t would
not be impossible, however, for
all three OF them to win out at
the primary election, as all the
voters in the state are entitled to
vote for two at the primary elec-
tion, and both Mr.. Mccormick
and Mr.. Parsons could be nom-
mated.

VICTOR BERGEv|N ACCIDENT
ALLY SHOT THROUGH BODY

Victor Bergevin, the 17-year
old son of Thos. Bergevin of 81
20, living about 10 miles north
west of Roman, was accidentally
shot Monday afternoon, the bull
let passing through his left arm
and entering the body, passing
upward and lodging in the left
shoulder blade. The wound
came from an automatic 22-cal-:
ibre rifle and while serious the
boy is expected to recover.
The cause of the accident was
through the accidental discharge
Of the gun by the boys sister
kicking the trigger while both
were riding in the wagon with
the gun standing between them
on the wagon box bottom. The
bullet struck the boy in the arm
passing through and into the
body, penetrating the left lung
and missing his heart by a scant
two inches.
DR.. Fuhrer was called and
made q hurried auto ride. to the
home of the injured boy and
brought him into town and on to
St. 1gnatius, where he was placed
in the sisters hospital. The bull
let was located near the surface
of the skin on the left shoulder
and it was extracted at once.
DR.. Fuhrer reports the patient
as getting along nicely and ex-
poets him to recover rapidly,
barring an infection which might
occur.

Ed. Weber dropped in from
Seattle last Sunday for a short
visit with Roman friends. He
came via the Great Northern and
stopped over in Spokane to visit
a brother who was lately mar
ried, and from here goes on to
St. Paul and Minneapolis. Ed.
says that Seattle is keeping up
nicely, growing steadily and that
times are pretty good in that
city, the tourist travel leaving
much money there every day.

Another War Imminent

From present indications an
other European war is imminent.
Austria Hungary has issued an
ultimatum to Servia and from
the reply of the latter power it
appears nothing can forestall an
other war. The relative strength
OF the two countries in this
struggle is so incompatible that
it appears criminal for Austria to
make war on Servia, as the total
war strength of Servia is only
24O,00 men, with no navy,
while Austria s strength is 2,O00,-
600 men.
Both countries are backed by
other nations, Servia by Russia
with total war strength Of s.
500, 900, and Austria by Germany
with 5, 200, 600 men. Russia has
a navy of 22O vessels of all kinds
and Germany has 325 vessels of
war OF all varieties.
England has taken steps to
reconcile the other powers and
prevent war if possible, and
while the chances are not bright
may succeed. With general
war over Servia, all the other
nations in Europe may be dragged
into the conflict.
Later War has been declared
and hostilities commenced.

.FLATHEAD GETS
ONLY 100000

The appropriation for Flathead
reclamation work for the year
1914, has been fixed at $500, 600,
according to the following tele-
gram received in Roman Wednes-
day:
Washington, D. c..
July %, 1914.
Stanley Scarce,
Roman, Montana.
Flathead reclamation gets
5000, 600 for immediate use, with
out conditions.
JOHN M. EVANS.
This amount will do some good.
and will be the means of furnish
ing a few more farmers with
water next year, but it is entirely
inadequate and will only prolong
the work and increase the total
cost. 1t means that fully one
half of the total cost of the COM
pleted project when all is figured
up will be found to have been
salaries paid engineers and book
keepers, when it should have
been reduced to a small percent
age of the total.
What the government should
do is to advertise for bids for the
completion of the project and let
the lowest bidder do the work.
Place a time limit on the con-,
struction and with sufficient
money appropriated to pay the
contractor, the work will be fin
ished according to the terms of
the contract. Then the govern
ment should reimburse the tribal
fund for all money taken from
the Indians to build this project
and absolutely donate the water
to the farmers. That would for
ever settle the controversy and
would be fair to the settlers and
Indians. This action would only
increase the amount annually ap-
propriated for river and harbor
improvement $6,OOO,OOO, the
amount estimated now as the
total cost of the Flathead project
when completed, and this on
basis of $500,00O each year, but
with only $500, 600 appropriated
each year, it will cost double that
in the long run. The overhead
expense is just as great with
500, 900 as with $500, 900 or
$500, 600 annually appropriated
and no one, except the engineers,
benefited.
Our senators and representa-
tives in congress have worked
hard for this appropriation and
we are thankful to get even this
dribble.

DISTRICT NO. 28
HIGH SCHOOL

If there is any one phase IN the euu-
cational development of District 70
upon which the people are to be espec-
tally congratulated, it is the rise OF
rural high schools. In this day OF ex-
trelaae economic colnplexity, when the
farmer must be business man, an
agricultural expert, and an Intelligent
cooperative member of his commun-
itv to attain marked success, high
school education is even more essen
tial to the welfare of the boys and
girls of the country community, and
of the community itself, than the ele-
mentary education without which the
fathers and mothers would find them
selves so handicapped. The common
school is primarily concerned only
with teaching subjects which are but
the tools, or means, whereby informa-
tion may be secured, and is no longer
adequate. The high school is con-
cerned primarily with the information
itself, with skill, understanding, mott
walton and direction for life work. 1t
is upon the high school that we must
depend to produce high type OF
citizenship, efficiency, and leadership.
The mere possession of high school
by community is condition OF
great promise for the community and
its Individual members.
When the high school functions in
accordance with the requirements of
its environment and is accepted and
supported as the most important fact
or in the civic, social, economic, and
intellectual life Of that section, then is
its promise fulfilled and the communi-
ty salvation effected. To assure this
condition there must be: A course of
study based upon the experience of
the pupils in both practical and cultur-
al subjects thoroughly and deeply edu-
Gated teachers who feel themselves to
be an organic part of the community,
who are conscious of the ultimate pur-
poses of secondary education, and who
are specialists both in their branches
and in the psychology of their pupils;
and conception of school as but
phase, of unlimited potentiality, of the
present life of the community in all
its relationships.
We believe that the high schools of
District %, springing as they do from
the needs of the communities of which
they are a part, rather than being
handed down from the scholasticism
of the middle ages or let down from
classical college of ancient and inap-
plicable lore as means for assisting
a neager handful of pupils to get
through certain sets of college requir-
ments, as young as they are, actually
approach the fundemetal character
istics indicated in the above para
graph. If | were to select between
the to us fabulous lly rich schools
Of Butte or Missoula, and our rural
high schools for my children, should
un!,esitatingly choose the latter,
whether expected my children to go
on 70 college and the professional
schools or to terminate their schooling

ROMAN, COUNTY,

at the end of their secondary course.
The University of Montana, whose
entrance requirements are on a par
with those of the best universities in
the country, accepts our work and
welcomes our pupils from the years
for which we are accredited just as
freely as work and pupils from any
of the cities of Montana. Further
more the rural high school recognizes
that country boys and girls are too
good to be turned into the devouring
jaws of the city, to be ground into
drudging, hopeless, and anemic ac-
countants, stenographers, clerks, bar
tenders janitors or factory laborers all
at the mercy Of the boss and condemn
ed to the everlasting routine of cog
wheel existence, while in the man.
like and woman-like life of the open
country unlimited opportunities pre-
sent themselves and are passed by be-
cause not perceived, begging for
recognition. Through the rural high
school which does not hold up the city
type of living as most desirable, but
rather brings realization of oppor-
tunities in the country for a life of
great usefulness, patriotism, and
comfort, and of content based upon
ideals of truly cultural education, the
country will again come into it's own
in the councils of the mighty, and as
the seat of civilization such as has
never been known.
We are glad to be able to announce
a teaching corps for each of the dis
trict high schools this year which will
compare well in quality and fitness
with that of the best. Each teacher
will give instruction in his special
subjects. In proportion to the num-
ber of years given, each high school
will have more high school instructors
than the average high school has.
Some of the teachers have taught
very successfully in large high schools
of excellent reputation; all are college
graduates with one or more degrees.
Practically all of them are keenly in
terested in the country life movement
and prefer country teaching to city
teaching, provided they may teach in
progressive communities.
By organizing for departmental in
struction from the sixth grade up in
schools where both elementary and
secondary instruction are given, we
shall have all the benefits of the "six
and six plan" advocated by Conf
missioner Claxton, with no real dis
advantages.
Through financial assistance from
the refund which the district has been
able to secure from thee county high
school tax fund by virtue of getting it's
high schools accredited, the Board of
Trustees will be enabled to appro-
pirate money enough to provide
equipment adequate to the immediate
needs of the district high schools. At
at least two points, mechanical draw
ing, woodwork, and sewing will be
given; at four points, drawing and
sewing will be offered. Microscopes
and other scientific apparatus will be
provided for botanical, geological, and
other scientific study at Arlee, St.
Ignatius, Leon and Roman Where
there are two teachers ninth grade
subjects will be offered.
All who have the eigth grade work
are eligible to enter a district
