piication of John E. Wade, Hammonds Ferry
road 18th district, was withdrawn. Licenses
were granted to Nicholas Hoch, Hammond's
Ferry road; VIM. B. Wade, Washington road,
and Martin Homberg, Shell and Monumen-
tai roads.
Attorneys Elmer ]. Cook and John Grason
Much feeling was exhibited by Mr.. T. Alvah
Merritt when the license was granted to HON.
berg Judge Burke made this statement from
the bench
1.-THE principle by which the court is con-
trolled in passing upon applications for licenses
was set forth in the order passed in May, 1907,
which stated that no license would be granted
where it was shown by satisfactory evidence
that the applicant had knowingly permitted
gambling upon his premises; had knowingly
sold intoxicating liquors to minors, or had
knowingly permitted liquors and intoxicating
drinks or lager beer to be bartered, sold or dis
posed of on Sunday at his place of business.
Judge Van Bibber and myself. Judge Dun
can, who did not sit in that case, subsequently
fully approved this order, and in all protests
heard since the rule therein stated has been
rigidly adhered to and it will be strictly fol-
lowed in all future cases.
"a new liquor law for the county has since
been passed, being Chapter 179 of the Acts of
1908. Section IA of that act provides that if
any person having license for the sale of
spirituous or fermented liquors shall violate
any of the provisions of the act he shall pay
fine of not less than 500 and not more than
$500, and on conviction a second time, which
fact the court may ascertain from the dOckets
of the court in connection with evidence, be
shall pay fine of $500 and his license shall be
suppressed.
lit is, therefore, obvious that it is in the
power of the residents of any given commu-
nifty either to prevent the renewal of license
to anyone who has violated the provisions of
the Sunday liquor laws, or to secure the sup
preston of the license by conviction, as pro-
vided by the act. The Legislature has put the
matter very largely and very effectively in the
hands of the people of the respective communi-
ties where the saloon is located.
"The court is ready at all times to enforce
the law but it has no power, as many excel
lent gentlemen seem to think, to declare pro-
hibition anywhere in the county. If it is de-
sirabe to invest the court with such power it
must be gotten from the Legislature. This
court will never usurp powers which the peo-
pie have reserved to themselves, no matter how
urgent the demand upon it may be-"
