Begin the education of the colt as
early as possible. Handle and pet
but never tease or trough" a colt. A
good plan is to break the colt to lead
before it is weaned and to harness
it between the ages of 2 and years.
Accustom a colt to work gradually
and do not use it at heavy work un-
til it is practically mature.

DELAWARE PARENT.
TEACHER ASSOCIATION

At the first of a series of Parent
Teacher Association conferences to
consider plans for the years work
held in the Public School Buildings
at Georgetown, Saturday, October
/ 4th, State Pres. Howard 7. Ennis
! displayed the banner which he re-
/ ceived for Delaware at the National
| Congress of Parents and Teachers
| in convention at Denver, Colorado
4 last May. This banner was, first
awarded to Delaware in 1927 for the
largest proportionate increase in
membership according to popula-
tion. 1t has since been held by Colo
RADIO and Hawaii. Delaware must
win it a third time in order to hold
it permanently. Mr.. Ennis chal-
lenged the members of the various
associations to make the most of
their opportunity to take part in the
program of Parent-Education which
will be carried on this year.
Glenn Gildersleeve, State Director
of Music, made a plea for another
"R" in the curriculum of the adult:
the "R' of release from restraints
of this machine age which is to be
found in Music.
Miss Marguerite H. Burnett, Di-
rector of the State Bureau of Adult
Education, announced that the State
Board of Education is ready to pro-
vide leadership for adult education
in any field. The offer is limited by
the financial resources of the Board
so early application is advisable.
Miss Eta Wilson, Exec. Secretary
of the State Parent-Teacher AssO- /
citation, discussed the possibilities |
in the pageant which is being plan
ned for the spring of 1881 to cele-
brate the Booth anniversary of the /
landing of the Dutch at Lewes. She
urged that the adults and children (
be brought together to make it
genuine Statewide celebration.
Greetings were extended by Supt.
Norman J. Bond and Allen Hulsizer,
Director of the Demonstration
School. Sectional meetings were led
by President Ennis and his assis-
tant, Miss Elizabeth H. Mensch,
Miss Wilson, State Program Chair
man, and Mrs. OrVille K. Wright,
State Publicity Chairman.
Similar conferences will be held
October 18th in the Seaford Public
Schools for white leaders at 10 a.
m and for colored leaders at 2 p. m.

Pat Campbell, of Helena
Now Grocerymam, am Old
Time Railroader Inn State

on st. Patrick's day 1857, but he
doesn't look it. Pat can pass for SO
any day and get away with 1t big.
The afternoon mail had just arrived.
1t was the little weekly paper pub
lished in the old home town. Pat
never forgets old days, old friends.
Like the majority Of veteran rail-
readers, who came west in the early
sos, Pat went ~railroading when he
was about II years old. That was In
1874, when he clerked for the o. g. L..
c.. Central, Vermont. Pat explained
that was the Oddensburg and Lake
Champlain Central railway. In the
early days Of his career, Pat followed
in the footsteps Of the average eastern
lad with r%ailroading ambitions. He
twisted brakes IN every road In the
country. He has seen the whole circus
from the sideshow up to the main tent,
from brakeman to yardmaSter, con-
ductor and trqinmaster-and how.
Pat Campbell has some early day
records that are coveted by the North
ern Pacific railroad. One Is an old
yellow tissue duplicate Of an order dat
ed December /, 1888, permitting him to
run Wild from Ellist0n to Helena dis
regarding everything but time-card
trains. "I've kept her for so many
years don't see why I should part with
1t now" said Pat as he put 1t back In
the safe. 1t was also signed BY En-
gineer Jim Holder, revered Northern
Pacific veteran, and Pat signed as con-
ductOr. In those days both the con-
ductOr and engineer signed all orders
received by them.
Jimmy Holder of Missoula, who re-
tired recently from the Northern Pa
cif1c railway, has his first and last Or
der received by him during a lengthy
career on the Northern Pacific road.
Pat produced an order written by
him in the early days when he was
yardmaster. 1t was written in purple
ink. The penmanship was not unlike
a copper-plate engraving-so plain.
concise-it was almost a work OF art.
Pat went to work for the Northern
Pacific railway a few days after he ar
rived in Helena in 1886. He went out
during the big strike and never re-
turned to the road. He went back
east and worked on the old New York
Central railway. Later he returned to
work for the Montana railroad. He
showed a letter dated Aug. 81, 1896,
reading.
pat H. Campbell has been appointed
trainmaster and will have charge OF
the handling Of trains and all work in
connection with the yard and track"
This was signed by A. @. Lombard,
chief engineer, a personal friend.
When Pat quit railroading he opened
his grocery store near the. Northern
Pacific station. That was March 2,
1902. He has been there ever since.
"Yes, I'm still in the game, and
what's more / am going to stay until
I die" he said.

Among the first parties to arrive we're
several men who later were to play an
important part in the history and de-
velopment of Montana, notably Sam
uel t. Hauser and Conrad Kohrs.
Across the divide in the Bitter Root
agriculture was beginning to get a start.
Baptiste Ducharme and Louis Brown
began farming in 1858 or 1859 near
where MisSOula is now located and
about the same time r. A. Pelkey and
w. Bills located farms in Grass valley.
Edward Pelkey, one of the sons of r..
A.. Pelkey, now m through Montana
several times each year in his capacity
as district organizer for the Interna-
tional Typographical union with head
quarters in Seattle. For many years
before he removed from Montana to
the coast, he was employed as a printer
upon the Anaconda Standard. j. Hen
ry Pelkey, another son, was the first
white child born in Montana.
Thus was the permanent settlement
Of western Montana begun.

That Other Davidson

That other Davidson" has broken silence. He has
broken it in the political parlance Of the hour. He
appeared before a Falls county audience of old p-
oneers an dtheir descendants and delivered a pre-
pared address. He did not name his first choice or
his second choice or his third choice. He did rec
ommend that either the voter be permitted to make a
second choice in the first primary or that the nomi-
nees for state office be selected by delegations from
the various counties. the delegates 20 be named
by the counties at the primaries.
This was the nominating system when Thomas NJ.
Campbell. known as the Sage Of Palestine. won the
gubernatorial prize. Then the politicians changed It;
they knocked out the county system and provided that
a candidate for office was entitled to the nomination
II he received a plurality and not a majority Of all
votes cast. This did not appeal 20 the politicians.
Oscar 3. Colquitt was governor. He was ambitious
to 60 to the senate of the United States. He recon-
mended the system in vogue today. that is, he adj
vised the plurality plan should be eliminated and the
majority substituted in its stead.
Colquitt had q method Of handling law makers.
They adopted his suggestion. They provided for the
majority plan Of nomination.
Colquitt was its first victim. He made the race for
the senate. He received a very heavy vote. Culberson
was his rival in the run-off. Colquitt was buried. His
majority plan may have kept him out Of the upper
chamber Of the American congress.
AS for the primary system. the people have tasted
blood. They love its taste. In other words, they will
not surrender the primary nominating plan without
a very logged and long drawn out battle. Colorado
has a double system II permits the voters Of a po-
litical party to assemble in state convention and name
a ticket for primary election purposes. This does not
do away with the primary election methods. but 1t
bars a lot Of ~weaklings or non-descripts. and the
political leaders Of the Centennial state say that the
system works like a charm.
That Other Davidson has spoken and he hasn't
spoken. He hasn't named his first choice. He hasn't
named his second choice. That Other Davidson" is
a level-headed individual. Maybe he is waiting for
the run-off. Then 1t may be possible that he will
have no choice, speaking Of the leader and the run
ner-up. and will be forced to bury himself in the po-
litical thickets or go over to that ancient enemy Of
democracy-the @. o. p, whose chief spokesman in
Texas is Col. Rene B. Creager, said to be a financial
and political power in the Valley called Magic.
Now the political analysts are predicting a total
primary vote Of $4,000. On with the battle. August
dog days are coming and the heat will be Of the
sizzling variety.
