liquor license clause which it con.

people at the last election. He said
speakeasies had been the ruination Of

court refused to grant restraining
order against the city III the Biddle
Brothers show matter, and dismissed
the application Of the show company
for an Injunction against the mayor,
police department and the city coun-'
eli.
In rendering his decision Judge Ma
son said it was new question and
that 50 far as he knew the Supreme
Court has not passed ON the question.
II involves the extent Of the jnrisdic-
tionof municipal corporations. The
bin alleges thattne show company is
engaged Ia presenting dramas and
plays oftyarions kinds. Itrecites that
they had made q contract with the
Traders Company TO present "a Des-
|perate Chance.'' It further alleges
that the Traders Company has taken.
out . license authorized by the city.
II also states that the play is proper
and not Immoral or indecent and that
ithad been presented in a number of
cities and towns. 4
The petitioners alleged that the .po-
lice and council had expressed the in
tention Of not permitting them to
show, and therefore, they asked that
the police and Mayor be enjoined and
the city council be prevented from
making an order, molesting Them or
impeding the show, and that the coun-
ell be prohiblted from passing al, order
or resolution preventing the play.
Judge Mason said IL raised the ques-
tion Of the extent Of the authority of
the municipality to interfere. He
MAS; OF the opinion that the reyoking
OF the theater Ii sense was esasiye. and
had no material bearing. He said,
s.if tne license was cancelled merely
FOR the purpose OF saking jurisdiction,
1t would be an evasion. The city
would have Jurisdiction whether the
house was licensed or not. The city
takes Jurisdiction under the general
welfare clause = This clause gives
the city authorities power TO take
measures TO protect property, main
tain peace and do things for the health
and welfare of the community. Un-
der that clause the Judge said the city
clearly, has the right to prevent any
thing, which disturbs the peace. He
said the cancelllng of the licence was
one source Of jurisdiction but not a
material one. He stated that there
must be Limitations to the powers Of
city councils and inferior courts, and
that his court or some other might in
sterfere in a proper case. BE said the
city had Jurisdiction which could not
be taken from it, unless it was ex-
ceedIng It's authority or was acting in
anImproper or corrupt manner.

Morrisville, Vt, April IA, 1903.

To the Citizens Of Morristown and Outside
Patrons of our School:
The Board of License Commissioners have,
after due deiberation, seen fit to issue the fol-
lowing licenses:
One Second Class, one Third Class and one
Fourth Class or wholesale. These have been
issued to gentlemen whom we believe are con-
versant enough with the law SO that they
know that they must live up to it or lose the
privilege they have paid for.
Now one word to the patrons ofour school.
This Board asks you to wait and not be in
haste in condemning any act they have
thought best to do, for we assure the patrons
of the school that we fully realize what would
be said. but if you will read the issue of both
papers this week you will see what Mr.. Hutch
ins says to you, and he will beexpected to live
up to this, and if so we fail to see why there
should be any perceptible difference to be
seen on our streets or in the success of our
school. The gentlemen that were honored by
those in power to select-ifthere be any honor
fully understand the responsibility that
rests with them, and they only ask everyone
interested in the welfare of our beautiful viii
lage and OF the town to stand by us and we
will try and see that so far as Morristown is
concerned the license law has fair and open
test. Signed, WM q. MolLNTocK,

Three Licenses Granted.

The License Commissioners met
Monday evening and decided upon IT,
censes for Morrisville. They have
granted three licenses, a second and
fourth. class to FL. j. Isham and a
third class to D. N. Hutchins. Mr..
Isham has leased the store formerly
occupied by G. p. browne & Co. as a
dry goods store and will occupy the
whole as wholesale and retail house.
His license fee, for both classes,
amounts to $1,000. Mr.. Hutchins
will make alterations in his store on
Portland street and will have his bar
in the room now used for his grocery
department. He will dispose of his
pool and BILLIARD tables and close up
this part of the establishment. The
fee for this license is $3.50. The Ii
censes will go into effect April 27.
In issuing these licenses the Com
missioners have without doubt
weighed the matter carefully and act
ed with the best interests of the town
at heart and it is to the people to
assume that they have acted wisely
uhCti II iS JlOF6u ObuFL WlSGs AL DSBb
this business is only an experiment
and no one has any right to kick
about results until q fair trial has
been given. Perhapssome other kind
of a license might have been better
and then again it might not have
been as well. Be that as itmay it is
our duty as citizens, whether the law
comedies with our idea ornot, togive
it a trial before pronouncing iudg-
ment. We believe the gentlemen to
whom the licenses have been issued
will naturally keep within the limits
of the law; they have too much at
stake to do otherwise. On the other
hand our Commissioners will see that
they do sell strictly in accordance
with law and the first violater may
expect no mercy at their hands.
A word in regard to the opening of
license places in Morrisville. The
Commissioners-aDd they are backed
by all right minded citizens-do not
propose to have a repetition of the
affair at Middlebury or
any thing approaching it,
