Temperance in Potter County

POTTER County, Pennsylvania, affords a good illustration of what temperance will do in a community. No licenses to sell intoxicating liquors are granted in that county; and one of the many good results is that at the recent Quarter Sessions Court the district attorney announced that he had no bills to present to the grand jury; the sheriff stated that he had no criminals in charge, and the directors of the poor announced that they had no paupers to support. Suppress the liquor traffic in a community, and at least three-fourths of all the crime, poverty, and wretchedness among the people will also cease.
