Chambersburg Musicians I'm Organ

Good Words

In letter to the editor of the
Chambersburg Repository. dated Mar
tinsburg March Is. Prof. Fred Lus-
comb, leader of the Martinsburg City
Band, endeavors to aid in the organI-
zatlon of a band in Chambersburg
thus:
Mr.. Editor - Knowing that Prof.
Shaw is organizing band, and hav-
ing had Professional experience with
some of the best organizations in
America wish few words to the
public. which may also be some en-
couragement to the organization. II
you will kindly allow me TODD so
through the columns of our paper. In
the first place Chambersburg has an
unusual amount of talent which should
be encouraged and developed. There
is nothing that is more conducive to
the refinement of a community than
plenty of good music Again, fine
musical organization is the best kind
of an advertisement for town there
fore everyone should do what he can
to help the band along. Prof Shaw
is unselfishly working TO elevate the
musical standard of your town IN
every way possible. In fact l often
chide him for trying TO do too much.
Having been q member of his faculty
for the past four years. and intimate
" Sharing his musical hopes and am
billions. | know of no one better
equipped to make the enterprise q
success than himself, and l feel sure
he will receive the musicians best la.
bors and the citizens best co-oDers-
fion and support.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Supreme Court Hands Down Opinion ON
state Liquor Question-Councii Has
Full Power TO Grant Licenses and
County Court Must simply
Acqufece,

The Supreme Court has just handed
down a decision that has an impt r
tant bearing on liquor Licenses in
chartered towns or cities in the State
where the city councils and County
Courts are at loggerheads. The case
in question was that of the liquor firm
of Ward 81 Primm of Grafton. against
the County Court of Taylor county,
in mandamus proceedings to compel
the County Court to grant the plain
tiff license to sell spirituous liquors
within the corporateslimits OF Graf
ton, under the city charter. The
charter was granted by the legislature
of 1899, and empowered the city coun-
Gil to grant license to applicants, TO
sell spirituous liquors in the corpora
ton, if majority OF the votes OF the
citizens of Grafton were In favor OF
license.
The citizens voted in favor of IL
cense, and about twelve Licenses were
granted without any exception. and
without reference to the place where
the saloon should be located. AT a
regular meeting of the city council.
Ward & Primm were granted license
to sell at the corner of Latrobe and
St. Marys streets, and they appeared
before the County Court and filed
their bond and application for state
license to sell at retail at the same
place. The County Court, without
giving any reasons, refused them IL
cense. The said Ward 81 Primm,
through their attorney, John q. st
CLAIR, applied to the judge OF the Cir
cult Court of Taylor county for
mandamus, to compel the County
Court to grant them a license. and
the writ was promptly refused. The
plaintiffs then applied. bv the same
attorney. to the Supreme Court. for
like writ, an the Supreme Court
issued 81 writ against the County
Court to appear before them at Char
lesion, on the LIST dav of January.
and show cause why they should not
grant such license. The Court filed
it's answer, and President Armstrong
! filed separate answer, bringing into
question the constitutionality of The
! law and the case was submitted TO
the Court upon the petition, and an
swers and demurrer therefor, on the
q OF dav of Jauuarv
Judge Brannon delivered the opjn-
ion. and upheld the constitutionality
of the charter of the city of Graf
ton, thus deciding that all the char
| tiers IN the State, in conformity with
the Grafton charter are constitutions
nj, and that the duties of the County
! Court are merely ministerial and all
! that remains for them to do after a
permit has been granted by the city
council is to approve the bond and
grant the license.
This opinion sets at rest all argu-
ments against the city charter of Graf
ton and if the people of Grafton do
not want saloons they must vote
against them and not throw the re-
sponsibilitv upon the citv council
and the County Court. Wheeling In
