It Is ono of tho few links that bind
prlmltlvo pioneer days with tho

people living in Plttston today who
were thero when tho Gazetto was
launched. The close association of
tho Gazetto with tho growth of
Plttston from n river ferry hamlet
to a city of enterprise and Import-'
ance makes Its history a constituent
part of tho history of tho city, and
tho Inauguration of a now epoch in
the life of the Gazette makes this a
fitting time for retrospection. The
Gazetto Is oho of Tho Citizen's most
appreciated exchanges and we are
glad to know the Plttston papor Is
not only Influential politically but
successful moneywlse.

We find the following sentence
In the Wllkes-Barre Record's report
of Roosevelt's tour of the Wyoming
Valley last week: "The party drove
on straight to Plttston, a town of
10,000." Apparently the Record
writer has little regard for Plttston
or for accuracy. His petty attempt
to belittle a neighbor is as uncalled
for as it is unjust. We suggest that
our contemporary send its reporters
up to Plttston to take a look around
and see what a large and progres
sive community Plttston really Is.
