In previous years when both
parties placed their tickets
before the voters, did any of
my readers ever look them over
and notice what a contrast
some men are to the Offices TO
which they aspired? In fact
1t is amusing to notice to what
extent some mems ambition
have gone in the wrong direc-
tion. OF course, party politics
had much to do with this, hut
the same should have no place
in municiple affairs, because il
often puts incapable men into
effice who would be in the right
place if they were outside look
ing in. To teach men of this
kind where their proper place
is can only be done by indepen-
dent voting and | expect consi-
derable of that kind will take
place at the coming election.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-01-08

Conditions now are no worse
than they have been in the
past years, but the rapid
growth of the town is such, and
the many improvements that
are in view for this year de-
mand that men of business
qualifications snould handle it's
affairs and not men who are
Indifferent to everything ex-
cept that which gives promin-
ence to themselves. 1t will
require great effort to alter
past ways to what the present
requires, but in the end it must
come and the silence now no.
ticeable in politics may have
something to do with fore
shadowing the change.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-01-08

Nothing is more essential to a
town of Freeland's size than
economic government. The
coming summer is likely to be a
very important one in the town s
history and for various reasons
the citizens should be careful
into whose hands they place the
reins of government. If the an
neXation of theoutlying districts
becomes a reality, together with
the electric light plant, electric
railway, public park improve
ment, better location for the fire
department and numerous other
matters are to be attended to, |
hope to see men iii Office who
will get ten cents worth for every
dime of the taxpayers money
that is spent for any purpose.

Talking to several owners of
property in the Points lately |

any too well pleased with the
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-01-08

1t is reasonable to suppose
that, if they do not come in
until after they give their taxes
and license money to Foster
township, they will not expect
the borough to spend anything
o on them for one whole year.
TO be just to its own present
taxpayers the borough could
not afford to appropriate a cent
in 1894 for sewers, light, street
repairs, ETC., in the Points or
Birvanton, and since the annexa-
tionists are beginning to realize
that this might be done they
feel indignant toward those who
have checked the scheme by
placing self-interests before the
welfare of all.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-01-08

At previous elections there
was always too much eagerness
displayed to have $50 and so'
elected because he was a "good
fellow" or was one of the cold
est residents" or because he
had an lake to grind and
while the stone was in motion a
few of his henchmen could have
an edge put upon theirs. There
is no more of this to be tolerated,
so it is said, and if the citizens
of the town who are working so
industriously to build it up will
not aid in electing good officials
they have fruitless task upon
their hands.

Whether or not these inter
ested parties have done any
thing to check the movement
until after election is question
able, but the advocates of an
neXation appear to think some
obstacle was thrown in it's way.
Men in the Points who worked
very hard to sta1t the movement
and gave their money to push it
claim that they will be in a
more pitiable plight this coming
year if they come in than if
they were to stay out. After
the assessment in the township
is made the taxes and any other
revenue of the Points and Bir-
vanton will go to the township,
it is said, and the people living
in the territory that may be an
neXed will find themselves left
out in the cold and will receive
no support from either township
or borough.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-01-08

People not interested in the
result find it amusing to follow
the ups and downs of the an
nexation question, and those in
the borough who did sympathize
with the efforts of the anneXa-
tionists have seen so many queer
turns made that they have lost
all interest in the matter, and
the position now held by the
people here is one of indiffer-
ence. 1t does not cost thought
to any but a very few whether
the limits are ever extended or
not, and | have heard more than
one person remark that the bor-
ough would be better off by not
increasing its area. My opinion
is that, although the borough
would derive very little benefit
financially through the success
OF the movement, it would be of
great advantage to the town as a
whole, and to further the inter-
ests of the town ought to be the
main object and let private in
terests take a back seat for
while. SAUNTERER.

progress of the movement to
bring that portion into the bor-
ough. None Of the people I have
spoken to could tell what is
causing the delay. if there is a
delay, and l am not sufficiently
informed on the matter either
to state positively that its pace
could be quickened. Neverthe
less, toallappearances, the move
ment is making but little head
way, and it is reasonable to pre-
sumo that the parts asking to
be annexed could be in the bor-
ough now if the petition for that
purpose had not slipped a cog
or two since it was presented at
Wilkes Barre.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-01-08

That certain interests in the
Points will be benefited by a
few months delay is apparent
to all. The saloon men, for in
stance, are satisfied to come in,
but, naturally, they do not feel
like paying double the amount
of license money if there is a
way out of it. 1t is but human
to take care of ones own inter
ests first, and the opposition the
majority of the saloon men have
given is no more than might
have been expected. Then
comes the Foster Democratic
politicians. All through the
township the sentiment has
been to keep the Points in that
district until after the coming
election. 1t is to the interest of
great many that it should be
done, consequently if they
devote some of their time and
labor to accomplish this, who
can criticise them?
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-01-08

1t is evident that the method
by which most offices have been
filled heretofore is not looked
upon with the admiration it was
in years gone by. Every day
which Freeland grows older its
requirements demand men for
officers who are capable of grasp
ing and maintaining modern
ideas, This, l believe, the
voters are beginning to realize,
and if they will only put party
and personal sympathy to one
side at the coming election, as
gossip indicates will be done,
this scramble of incompetent
men for office, which is so pre-
valent every year, will be knock
ed into a three cooked hat.

1t is drawing close to the time
when the citizens of the borough
will be called upon to select
from among their number few
competent men to manage the
affairs of the town for another
short period, and there is such
a death-like stiffness in borough
politics that | have concluded
there is "somethiug in the
wind" just what it is | am
unable to say, but that there
will likely be a revolution of
some kind is not improbable.
Whether it will be done in the
interests of the tax payers, or to
subserve the whims and fancies
of some little clique, [ know not.
That a change is coming is not
to be doubted, however, if cur
rent indications can be relied
upon.

1t has always been a serious question
to us whether socialism works good or
bad reform. Socialism and society are
two different and distinct elements.
Socialism has been the saviour of many
a man. while on the other hand society
has been his downfall. Society selects
and singles out its victims, While social
ism tends to blot out that formallty
which destroys human sympathy-a tie
which the church is struggling to main
tain. More pure cussedness and una
dulterated meanness has been covered
with the mantle of society than any
thing else we know of. 1t is possible
to overdue socialism, but better fall
into the web of socialism than society,
as there are too many of the latter Off
spring occupying prison cells-a mis-
fortune rather than fault.-St. Peter

England has been sending convicts
to the penal colony in New South Wales
for years. Not long ago parliament
ary commission found upon investiga-
ton that 81 per cent. OF these people
have learned to live better lives and
become honest men. The government
then very wisely made great effort to
improve their surroundings, and there
by aroused new hopes in their minds
and higher impulses. Finally all the
penal records were burned, so that no.
body in the future can point to Smith
or Jones or any other convict as de-
scended from convict. That was a
noble reform, says Col. Bob. Ingersol,
and in this matter. at least. the doughty
Bob is right.
