CRIME AND THE CAUSES.


Iy Removing the Cause Great Deal Of
Good Can he Done.
En-. HERALD Discussions of crime and
the causes thereof in Schuylkill county are
very timely. If the press and fair proper
tion Of interested citizens agree upon some
proper plan of action to curb crime by re-
moving the causes, a great deal of good can
be done.
THE CAUSE.
The principal cause Of crime is the indis-
criminaie granting Of licenses in the county
The licensees take to the business for pecu-
mary profit, and the thousand and more
licenses granted make competition so sharp
that they cater to the criminal, the drunkard,
the debauchee and those Of immature age in
their struggle to make the business pay.
Sales are made at all hours and at all times,
irrespective Of the law, so they but gather in
the shekels.
THE OPPORTUNITY.
splendid opportunity is now presented to
appeal to the courts to correct this evil.
There is no Common Pleas Judge to be
elected for eight years. In other words, the
Judges cannot be made to suffer the con-
sequences of reform now instituted, as
long ere the eight years roll by the benefits
will be so apparent that public sentiment will
reward rather than attempt to persecute the
workers of such reform when again candi-
dates for the office of Judge.
LACK OF REGULATIONS.
The evil is in our present method of grant.
ing licenses to anybody and everybody al
most that makes application, as the law says;
I'm the sound discretion of the court"
There are no rules or regulations laid down
by the court for its guidance that in any way
restrict the number Of licenses granted or the
character of the places licensed This evil
can be easily corrected, and all that will be
necessary for the moral forces of this county
to do is to formulate some plan and ask the
co operation of the court. This can be done
by memoralizing the court:
THE REMEDY.
First--Not to grant more than one license
for each three hundred (SOO) people, unless
in townships it shall be concusively proven
to the Court that on account Of special topo-
graphical conditions more hotels are necess-
ary
Second.-That no place be licensed within
five hundred (5OO) feet of church or school
house unless it is well established hostelry
that provides sleeping or eating accommoda.
tions to the travelling public.
Thrd-No naturalized citizen to be given
license unless such per,on shall have been a
citizen of the county at least five years be.
fore the license is applied for.
Fourth-No person who has been convicted
of felony shall have license.
In the event petitions are prepared and
signed, l agree to present the same to court
free of charge and believe that l can get the
cooperation of at least six other attorneys tC
assist in taking this matter before the court

HEARTS OF THE BLUE RIDGE
Dorothy Lewis appeared last evening to a
fair sized aunience at the Kaier Grand in the
beautiful pastoral drama, Hearts of the
Blue Sidge." Miss Lewis made decided hit
in the play as Missy Carter and appeared as
beautiful and clever in her old North Caro-
lima style as any Of the famed daughters Of
the pine tree region. Robert Iceland as Bob
Reynolds Missy's lover, drew much deserved
applause from the audience for the way he
took his part in the plot. We are sorry that
we can not treat the cast in detail as all fit
ted we'll to their parts. Special mention, how
ever, must be made of the Blue Ridge Quar-
tette They we're fne-in fact nothing better
has ever appeared in Mahanoy City. Any
one who enjoys reading about the customs
and ways Of old North Carolina should go to
hear Hearts of the Blue Ridge, for it brings
the audience right into that land of chivalry
and feuds and gives a true portrayal Of the
