their depraved appetites. As matter of course
these booths and shops will generally be kent
by men and women of the worst character
and will be the scene of many bloody row
and drunken riot. and, without any manner of
doubt, will fill our jails with criminals and run
the county to heavy expense.
Shall we, under these circumstances. remain
quiet, and permit licenses to be granted to anv

we use some effort to prevent il! The law
provides that If the Grand Jury shall signify to

such cases without the special direction of the

their dIsapprobation of persons along the Della

to sell whiskey, obtaining licenses, and the
