Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-01-01

While in Hazleton or its sur
rounding hamlets a murder is
common affair, here it would
create the most intense excite
ment and indignation, and any
thing more than an ordinary
''scrap" among such people is
promptly quelled. However,
since Freeland is unfortunately
situated so near a city and
towns which have no desire to
suppress lawlessness, our peo-
pie should endeavor to rid the
the lower end of murders and
heinous crimes, or in time this
part will be contaminated and
disgraced by similar outbreaks
of race passion and prejudice.
Something new in the saloon
business in Freeland is the Civ
ing out of small checks with
every drink purchased at the
bar. These checks are number
ed, and stub, which is dropped
into a sealed box, is numbered
also, and when a stated amount
of tickets have been issued a
drawing takes place. The third
stub drawn from the box de-
notes that the holder of the
check with a corresponding
number wins fine gold watch.
AS a chance on the watch costs
nothing, one being given with
every drink bought, the scheme
ought to take well with the
saloon patrons, but unless the
bartenders can draw additional
trade by holding out the watch
as an inducement, it is hard to
see where their profit comes in.
Tomorrow evening a meeting
of the Freeland council will be
held and in all probabilities a
date will be selected for the
holding of a special election to
vote upon the light question.
In conversation with several citi-
zens last week | find the general
opinion to be in favor of having
this election on the regular
spring election day, which is,
believe, February 20. A larger
vote would be polled then than
II 1t is held before that date,
and a better expression of pub
llc sentiment would be obtained.
Every opportunity should be
given to have the matter present.
ed to the people SO that all NAV
understand it thoroughly, and
as the electric light company is
satisfied to have the election
then, there could be but little
objections to delaying the vote
a week or two longer than is
necessary, thereby giving all
sufficient time to decide intelli-
gently before casting their bal
lots.
The number of students home
during the holidays from the

indicate that the people OF Free
land and vicinity are certainly
aware of the advantages of q

Matters of a Local Nature Written Up
and Placed Before the Readers of the

Here May Interest You.
The number of murders that
occurred during 1898 through
race riots of the foreigners resi-
ding in the vicinity of Hazleton
would make a list that lower
Luzerne might well feel asham-
ed of, if all were gathered to-
gether. AS it is so difficult to
capture the guilty persons and a
great deal harder to have them
convicted, one is not surprised
at the frequent murders, but it
is absolutely necessary that an
example should be made of a
few of these cold -blooded assas-
sins this year. The lower end S
reputation has suffered enough
through these terrorizers, and
any delays in enforcing the law
with the next man convicted
should receive general condem.
nation. If the more intelligent
of the foreigners would lend
their assistance and help in hav-
ing justice dealt out, they would
clear their race from the sus-
picion of blood and murder
which all of them are being
regarded with.

higher education for their child
ren. There is no part of the
state where pupils are more
anxious to go to normal school
or some seminary after they
have mastered the common
branches, and it is most crafty
ing to know and see that the
opportunity is given them by
every parent who can possibly
do so. In fact, the sacrifices
made by some of the families
here to educate their children is
worthy Of the highest commen-
dation, and | hope that when
the time comes to repay their
good old fathers and mothers
the educated ones will not for
get the struggle that is now
being endured to raise the boys
and girls of the present from
the lower walks of life.
Very likely the annual re-
newal of pledges and promises
will be made by many people
today, and "reform" will be
the uppermost thought in sew
eral minds for a week or two
No doubt many a man can look
back to some New Years Day
in the far past and offer up
thanks for the spirit which in
duced him to "swear OFF, some
vice or habit that he knew was
leading him downward. Yet
the silent promise or the awful
oath that men bind themselves
with at the opening of each
year do not play so large a part
as expected in their future. If
ones intentions are not sincere,
honest and determined it mat
ters not how iron-clad his obi
cations may be, he will drift
back to his old ways before
next New Years Day.
Swearing OFF, on anything
is only SO much time and
words wasted unless the will
power Of the self-reformer is
brought into immediate and
constant action, for the novelty
of the thing soon wears away
and if there is a craving to drop
again pledges, promises and
oaths amount to little when sin.
cerity, determination and hon
esty of intentions are lacking.
If you feel that you must
"swear off, on something, sum
mon to your assistance all the
will-power you possess, then
when the attack is made you
need not surrender, but can
come out of the battle triumph
ant and be a man in all that the
word implies. SAUNTERER.
