The Scranton Tribune has inaug
urated a campaign against n system
ol' petty robbery that is not only no
torious in Scranton, l>ut obtains in
many other places, even in the small
er boroughs and towns of the st-atv.
The worst of it is Hint it is done
undisguised of maintaining law
and order and is frequently done
according to law.
in Laekawana county there are
nearly a hundred aldermen and, jus
tices of the peace. There are as
many more constables and each con
stable has two or three deputies.
This army of men do nothing but
fo'low their official business for a liv
ing, and when legitimate business
is slow they often have ti» create
business. Advantage is taken ot the
foreigners, with which the coal re
gions swarm, and they are handed
into the justice's court and fined on
every possible pretext, charges be
ing trumped up against them, if u >
real misdemeanor exists. The tine
of course, together with "costs" is
divided among the crowd who make
the arrest and sit in judgment upon
the case.
It is a serious indictment to bring
against the machinery of justice in
this land of the free that it is be
ing used principally to collect funds
for the support of a lot of miserable
cormorants from the unsophisticated
aliens who come among us, but (lie
fact is too evident in many cases to
dispute.
Furthermore, our legislators are
either hood winked into or lend
themselves maliciously to the pro
motion of this system. For what
other reason are the game and fish
laws changed so frequently that even
the intelligent dare not attempt the
-port without a copy of the law past
ed in their hats unless it is to befog
and trustify the ignorant and catch
them with a tine?
Laws are supposed to be founded
upon justice and equity and to be
enforced in the same spirit. If, in
stead, they are prostituted to base
purposes, it becomes the shame of
our boasted civilization.
Dragged under the trucks of a log
car until his brother ran the whole
length of the train to signal the
engineer to stop, Itay Ityan, whose
parents live at proctor, and who is
employed at the Sones Lumber
camp near Masten, was saved from a
horrible death by a miraculous leap
from under the wheels of the car
in an aciident near Ilillsgrove Fri
day morning. Although his injuries
are serious, it is thought at the sani
tarium of Dr. Koser, where Hie in
jured man was taken that evening,
that he will recover.
Bryan was riding on a train of
empty log cars mi the narrow gauge
lumber railroad between Ilillsgrove
and Masten. When about a mile
from the former town, he walked to
the front end of the cars to set the
brakes, as the train was approaching
a heavy grade. After he had com
pleted this, John whitbeck and Lor
en Vargeson, two fellow woodsmeh
who were sitting at the rear end of
the ear, called for Bryan to come to
them.

it mirrors the work of the school,

Many men save part of their earn
ing and are then puzzled how to in
vest their savings. The savings
banks are safe, but the iuterest rate
seems low. Some investments offer
big returns, but the risk may be
great. Shrewd careful investors are
taking advantage of the reliable and
accurate information furnished by
the financial experts who conduct
the column, "Answer to questions
from investors" printed iti the
PHILADELPHIA PRESS seven
days a week.
