1t is strange that in the distribu-
ton of offices that the fourth represen-
tative district of this county is never
considered. 1t was always regarded as
the Democratic stronghold, but for all
that the Democrats of the district have
never yet been humored by giving any
of its members political position. In
one or two instances a Democrat from
the lower end has been appointed to a
! position in the Wilkes-Barre courthouse,
| but even in these cases the appontee
was relative or close personal friend
of the person in whose power it was to
make the appointment, but in no case
was the appointment given to the person
who was backed by the people of the
district. No person seems to care any
thing about the fourth district until cleo
ton time The voters are then patted
on the back and praised, but when the
election is over they get the dump if
anything is to be given out.-Pldin
Speaker.
The TRIBUNE has been teaching the
above to its readers for the past two
years, and we think the Democrats of
this locality have agreed with us in the
matter. The responsibility for this con.
) dition of affairs rests with the Demo
cratic voters themselves, in allowing the
party organization in the county to re
main under the rule of Mutual Admira
ton Society, with headquarters at til,
d county seat When this little clique o
political wirepullers is deprived of tn,
:, power of debating nominations ant
| patronage the fourth district may get it,
share. As it is, the district is now on
of the Democratic column, and there ar,
poor prospects of getting it back unless
change is made in the county leaders

In looking over some of the

notice that, with few excep-
tions, it is the same old story
over again. The long list of
fatal and non-fatal accidents
are there as usual, and not
withstanding the many i'm
provements made in the meth
DDS of mining coal, it seems
there is no alternative in the
end but to nurse the wounded
and bury the victims as they
are brought to their homes,
bruised and bleeding from a
disaster over which the unfor-
tunates in most cases had no
control. 1t is sad to think
that human lives are sacrificed
year after year, and that but
little effort is put forth to les

are annually offered up to

No Time for chicken-Hearted Fakirs.

The opinion of Democrats on the con-
duct of their representatives in congress
who have tried to build barriers to op-
pose the march of tariff reform may be
gathered from the way in which Mr..
Beltzhoover's case has been handled in
the FORK, Adams and Cumberland dis
trict. There is no longer any room in
the Democratic organization for those
temporizing statesmen who are loud for
tariff reform everywhere else except in
their own particular localities. What
ever demoralizations exists in the Demo-
cratic ranks may fairly be attributed not
to any sneaking preference for protec-
ton, but to sheer disgust at the failure
of the party to redeem its promises -
Philadelphia Record.
The remarks of the Record are both
timely and true, and if Democratic
voters are given control of the congress
sional convention in this district Lu-
zerne's Beltzhoover" will not succeed
himself. Hines made a record as a
jumping jack on the tariff bill, and his
clamoring for protection to coal disgust
ed the men who sent him to congress.
Neither will his baby act in refusing to
vote when the bill first came before the
house be forgotten, He thought by
holding aloof and assisting to prevent a
quorum he could compel the president
to give him the selection of the
internal revenue collector and he would
rather sacrifice the principles of the
party than submit. Hines is one of the
men who aided at every step those who
were opposed to redeeming Democracy S
pledges, and to give him a renomina-
ton would be putting premium upon
party traitors. We want no more men
of the Beltzhoover or Hines stamp.

There appears to be an ex-
cellent opportunity here for
the investment of capital in
tenament houses. Thenumber
of people now looking for resi-
dences that rent from 81 to $40
per month is surprisingly large.
OF vacant storerooms there is
an abundance in town, more
than will be occupied for a
few months, but the dwellings,
are very scarce. Now if some
enterprising capitalists would
build a numbel of neat houses
they would reap a fair percent
age on the money invested,
and there would be very few
of them empty at any time of
the year, providing a reason
able rent was asked.

Taken as a whole, the COM
pany's superintendents have
no superiors in the state
as far as qualification in
the coal industry is concerned.
Their methods are all practical
and based upon long years of
experience, and when an emer-
gency arises in which danger
threatens the lives of their en-
ployes they are always to be
found on the ground in com
pany with the foreman direct
ing the work until the threat
ened danger is over. While
accidents will occur to the
most careful, occasionally, yet
it is evident that the officials
of this company have exercis-
ed very good judgement in the
many details which can only
make coal mining a less haz-
ardous occupation, for the
collieries over which they have
charge are among the most
dangerous, and have been for
the past three years, in the
Lehigh region.

In the list of fatal accidents
the showing is not very credit
able, there being an increase
of ten in this district over 1892,
while the non-fatal accidents
have decreased eleven. The
fatalities are diveded up about
evenly among the larger pro-
ducing companies, with the
exception of the Upper Lehigh
Coal Company. Although the
death-rate of the district in
creased and the company men
toned mined over 100000 tons
of coal, there was not a fatal
accident at any of it's collieries
during the year. This is a
showing that certainly reflects
credit upon the management,
and is due, not to good luck
alone, but to the efficiency of
the gentlemen under whose
control the workings are di-
rected.

This is plain proof that
dwellings are needed at present
a great deal more than business
blocks, as of the latter there
appears to be sufficient for some
time to come, or at least until
several of the handsome but
vacant storerooms are rented.
Real estate is always a good
investment, especially in a
town like Freeland, which is
good yet for many, many years.
and the men who will put their
spare dollars into dwellings,
will show good judgement.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-04-02

The building of dwellings,,
for some reason or another,
has never found much favor
with persons who had money
to invest in property here.
Instead, they nearly all prefer
red to erect a combination
storeroom and residence, spend
ing as much on one building
as would put up two or prob
ably three houses. The result
of this policy can be seen today
in the many storerooms that
are vacant, while the residence
portion of the property is
occupied.

MANY USES OF TAR.

To the Poultry Raiser 1t May Be Said to
BE Indispensable.
Poultry raisers seem to have failed
to learn the value of tar. 1t is valua-
BILE in many ways, says G. w. Norris in
the Epitomist. | am led to believe that
to tar the fence around the poultry
house, instead of whitewashing. will
be much better. 1t will contribute
largely to the durability of the wood,
protecting it from storm and time. It
Is in the poultry-house that the value
of tar is the greatest, for it conduces
greatly toward healthfulness When
cholera makes its appearance, we
would advise, first, thorough clean
ing of the house, next, an application
of tar on all the joints, cracks and
crevices of the inside of the building,
and then plenty of fresh whitewash
properly applied. The tar absorbs or
drives away the taint of disease, and
makes the premises wholesome. The
smell is not offensive, in fact many
people like it, and it is directly oppo-
site to unhealthy. To vermin, lice,
ETC., the smell of tar is very repulsive,
and but few will remain after you
have tarred the house. A neighbor of
ours was once troubled with chicken
cholera, and by adopting the above, in
connection with removing affected
fowls, he soon put a stop to its raw
ages. A small lump of tar in the
drinking water supplied to the fowls
will Ire found beneficial. 1t is also
very beneficial to the human system in
case of consumption, bronchitis and
Severe colds.

The recent Pullman troubles impart
special interest to discovery re-
Gently made by File Clerk Walter Fl.
French, among the archives of the
house of representatives, says the
Washington Post. The discovery is in
the nature of petition to congress
preferred in 1919 clearly foreshadowing
the modern system Of sleeping cars.
The petition is all the more interesting
because the power of steam used in the
propulsion of railroad trains at that
time was still in it's infancy and wrapped
more or less in vague mystery. The
paper is as follows:
''The memorial of Benjamin Dear
born, of Boston, respectfully repre-
sents: That he has devised in theory a
mode of propelling wheel carriages in
a manner probably unknown in any
country, and has perfectly satisfied his
own mind of the practicability of con-
veying mails and passengers with such
celebrity as has never before been ac-
complished, and in complete security
from robbery on the highway.
For obtaining these results he relies
on carriages propelled by steam on lev
ell railroads, and contemplates that
they can be furnished with accommo-
dations for passengers to take their
meals and their rest during the pas
sage, as in a packet; that they be suf-
ficiently high for persons to walk in
them without STOPPING, and so capa-
cious as TO accommodate twenty, thir-
ty or more passengers and their bag

LORE OF THE WOODPECkER.

somesQuaint Notions Entertained In An
Client Times Regarding the Bird.
The beliefs and convictions that con-
stitute the folklore of the woodpecker,
or sapsucker, as it Is sometimes err
roneously called-for its boisterous op-
erations occur solely in quest of in
sects that lie concealed beneath the
bark, and are never injurious to the
trees-are, in fact, very many and va
ried, and many of them can be traced
back to somewhat more venerable an
tiquity than is usual in such matters.
Probably, says an English journal,
every one remembers having read or
heard, at one time or another, the
story of the transformation of the
pagan god Picus, the son of Saturnus,
to the woodpecker by the witch god-
dess, Gree, in revenge for his coldness
and nonrequital of her love. The tale
of itself is of little Importance, and
is but one of the countless fairy
legends that compose the lesser and
and extremely poetic mythologies OF
the Greeks and Romans. But it hap
PLY serves the purpose of illustrating
the connection that evidently existed
in the Roman mind between birds and
the supernatural and the unknown in
general. And it would seem that the
relation in different forms was almost
universal in ancient times, for the
image of the bird which was used by
the Romans to represent the perse-
cuted deity already mentioned-after
whom the family is named incident
ally, in ornithology-and by the aug
urs and priests of the city as a sort Of
symbol in foretelling coming events,
abounds in many of the marvellous and
complicated sculptures and carvings OF
Central America and Peru, and has
even been found in some of the South
Sea islands and other parts of the
world in the form of wooden charms
and fetiches.

the inner life of royalty from the com.
mon gaze was raised the other day by
Mr.. Rentoul, NJ. P, at meeting of la
dies in support of the women's suffrage
movement, says the Westminster Ga.
zette. Mr. Rentoul said his idea had
always been that the queen was q
merely ornamental sort of parsonage,
who signed such documents as were
submitted by her ministers, and was
restrained from doing any harm by
constitutional safeguards. He had.
however, recently made the acquaint,
ance of two lords in waiting, who have
been in attendance on her majesty for
many years, and the information he
had obtained from this source had COM
pletely altered his views as to the in.
fuence exercised by the queen in mat
ters of domestic and foreign policy.
He had learned that she is proficient in
eleven European languages, and that
she has during the last four or five
years completely mastered Hindus-
tanee, in which she converses with
great correctness and fiuency with any
of her Indian subjects who are pre-
sented at court. Her majesty frequent
ly writes to every important sovereign
in Europe, and her influence on the
side of peace is said to have been very
beneficial, her knowledge of foreign af-
fairs being most intimate and accurate.
AT several critical stages in the rela-
tfons between European nations the

AMONG THE POULTRY.

A SANDY soil is the best location for
poultry yard.
The growing fowls should have a
change in the grain ration every week.
GEESE lay three times a year, and as
many as a dozen eggs each time.
KEEPING the nests dark will often
prevent the hens from eating the eggs.
Two WEEKS is long enough to make a
fowl fat il highly fed With n fattening
ration.
AR-sLAKED lime freely, used in the
poultry quarters will destroy unpleas-
ant odors.
THE late-hatched turkeys can nearly
always be given fresh range much
younger than those hatched earlier.
AFTER the chickens are six weeks
old there is a steady gain on the part
of the large breeds over the small one s.
WHERE the poultry are allowed to
shift for themselves and are given the
range of the farm they often prove a
nuisance.
DRY earth is the best deodorizer
known 1t is also the best absorbent
to preserve the manure in the least Of

ONE of the best ways of making the
poultry-house comfortable is to make
a double wall and line the inside one
