Towanda daily review. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1879-1921, 1881-03-18

At late session of the Montour county
court Judge Rockefeller refused all new
applications for licenses and gave the
following reasons: There are at present
in the Borough of Danville fifteen licens-
ed hotels and eleven restaurants and eat
ing houses. Estimating the population
of the borough at 5000 souls, this would
leave at lerst one drinking house to every
three hundred of the population--includ-
ing women and children. AS not more
than third of these are men, there
would be drinking place for every hun
dred men. Now it is well known that
not more than one-fourth of the latter have
been accustomed to or do resort to sa-
looms or taverns either for eating or
drinking. The result, therefore, would
be drinking place to every twenty-five
men who deem drinking house neces-
sary for the accommodation of the public.
In this matter Of granting licenses it is
we'll that line be drawn somewhere.
The number of drinking houses at pres
ent in existence in this place is certainly
amply sufficient for the purpose Of ac
commodating the public; nor is the Court
disposed to increase the number until
there be such an increase in the popula-
ton as may render it advisable. For
these reasons the Court has decided to
reject the applications for new liceses
presented.
The refusal of licenses was not confined
to places of Indifferent reputation or ap-
plicants of questionable character. Unin-
fuenced in these respects, the Court has
taken stand solely upon the want of any
necessity existing for an increase in the
number of drinking houses. AS his Hon
Or remarked. 'It is not necessary at all
that every other house should be grog-
shop" Is it necessary that any house
should be grogshop. We hope to see
the day when there are none.
Towanda daily review. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1879-1921, 1881-03-18

An exchange complains, as many re-
spectacle people have done from time to
time, that the country is terribly infested
by lawyers. At first thought there seems
a great deal of ground for the complaint,
for very large proportion Of our young
men with sharp wits and consciences are
yearly going through some peculiar pro-
cess that enables them to fOist themSely eS
upon the pubic as counsellors-at-law
without being arrested for obtaining
money under false pretences. Neverthe-
less there is no special reason for fear;
most of these alleged lawyers drop
speedily to their proper level, which is
that of the lower order Of collectors of
overdue accounts, while majority Of
the remainder devote themselves to the
immoral and therefore illegal business of
setting quiet people by the ears and stimu-
iating pugnacious people to expensive
manifestations of ugliness. OF lawyers
deserving the name we have too few. We
fill our legislatures and Congress with
men who profess to have studied law, yet
who cannot frame statute that an equal
number of lawyers cannot jump through
and drag their clients after them. There
are not enough genuine lawyers in any
legislative body to assure the public that
such new laws as may be passed will not
be unconstitutional. There are not in
New York any lawyers smart enough to
show the people how to make the Police
Commissioners clean the streets or if
there are they do not do it, which practi-
cally amounts to the same thing. In
stead of fewer lawyers we need more if
only for the purpose of crowding out the
present incompetent generation Of mud
dlers of manners aud morals.-Herdld
