The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1901-08-02

the so.called "Jermyn school muddle'" II is
said that we should he quick 10 hear, but slow
to speak, for listening car and a silent tongue
are ornaments Of great value. But the Rippcrs
(as We have bccn called in whitening Srcasu)
have been SO msrcprcscntcd that now the time
seems to have come when to Keep silent would
be cowardy VI. j.. Lynott has thrown down
the gauntlet aud II We did not take IL UP We
would be untrue to Our ancestry and to our his
tory; we would be false 10 our conscience and
our country, and would prove ourselves recrcant
to the duties and opportunities Of tho hour. TIE
"battlc" Is forced upon US by a man who cries
Tor peace when he desires no peace
To be silent would he 60 give our consent 10
the monstrous us,rpatons Of a religious minority
in our town. Our foe has prcclrit1ted the con
fict, and we must neither stand still, nor fec
away. but move forward in the defense Of truth
and liberty.
