TALBOT'S LIQUOR
QUESTION.
Judge Stump'S Charge to the Grand
Jury Regarding Licenses.

Easton, Now 16.-The November term of
the Circuit Court of Talbot county was con-
vened today by Judge Stump Great interest
was shown in the proceedings of the day be-
cause of the liquor cases, which are promin-
emily before the people.
Judge Stump charged the grand iury as
follows, in reference to the granting of li0uor
licenses in Chapel district, the action OF the
jury on which is very anXiously awaited:
"Thero are some things that even grand
jury cannot do. 1t cannot make or repeal
laws. Your duty is to see that all existing
laws are enforced, and it makes no difference
whether in your individual opinion such
laws are good or bad. Your duty to enforce
them is the same in either case. II they are
bad the legislature and not the grand jury is
the proper tribunal to repeal or modify them.
In the Chapel district majority of the people
under the sanction of the Legislature, has
determined that spirituous liquors shall be
sold by such persons as the grand jury shall
recommend as proper to receive licenses
You have no right to nullify that law by an
arbitrary refusal to recommend the issuing of
any licenses. That would violate the law
and the obligation you have just taken.
That there are persons proper to receive
licenses the people of that district have de-
creed, and tho law has declared. Your duty
simply is to determine who are such proper
persons. You shall make a fair, full and i'm
partial investigation as to the character of
each applicant. If you thus become satisfied
that he would be likely to violate the law by
the sale OF liquor to minors, or by keeping
disreputable or disorderely house, or other
wise, you should reject his application. If,
on the other hand, you are satisfied that he
would comply with all the requirements of
the law, and keep as orderly and decent
place as is compatible with the sale of liquor.
then your duty is to recommend the license,
unless there is something peculiarly objection
able in the particular location, 9. g., close
proximity to a church or public school. or
course, you will exercise fair and wise dis
cretion as to the number Of licenses recon-
mened. What have said is simply in re-
iteration Of the uniform ruling OF each Of the
three judges Of this circuit for 20 years past
and is in exact accord with the decision Of
the Court Of Appeals of this State, in the case
Of Cahan vs.. Jarret (42 Nd, 1870, 1922, Judge
Alvey delivering the opinion"
