An Accurate Picture.

New York Evening Post: There are
saloons and saloons. Ordinarily, when
one hears that city of about 200. 600
people has | 400 saloons, and that they
are open seven days in the week, he
expects to find vagrancy, poverty and
crime very prevalent Milwaukee is
such city, and yet The Sentinel, which,
in making an annual review of the So
cial and business conditions, has re-
Gently collected the most minute in
formation and made comparisons with
other cities, testifies to these results of
the investigation: "It finds that the
arrests are smaller in proportion to
population than in any other city hav-
ing more than 100000 population. 1t
fnds that although the death-rate is
lower than that of any other large city,
yet there are more deaths than there
are arrests for drunkenness and disor-
derly conduct. There is almost no
poverty in the city, as the annual re-
port of the Associated Charities shows.
There are more homes owned by work
ing people than in any other city of the
size. There are fewer vagrants brought
before the municipal Judge than in any
other city of the size. There are more
children enrolled in the public, paro-
chial and private schools than in any
other city whose reports we have been
able to obtain. We have particularly
home-loving people, and the member
ship OF the musical societies shows an
exceptionally music-loving people. We
are church-going people, the average
attendance at Sunday services being
r61 900. We sincerely believe there
IS not more prosperous and comforta-
bic community to be found in this
country" 1t will be very hard for
thoroughgoing prohibitionist to accept
this statement, but we think that it will
be considered a reasonably accurate
picture by anyone who has ever resid-
ed in the city. One thing more, how
ever, needs to be said IN explanation,
and The Sentinel thus says it: "We
have few saloons of the character Of
those that aff1ict most cities, and par
ticularly smaller cities. For the most
partthey are free from persistent loung-
ers. Those to which Germans 90 to
spend an evening hour do not lure the
young to ointemperance. The character
OF the population has much to do with
the comparative harmlessness of the
beer saloons" The moral of Milwau-
KEGS experience, therefore, is not that
the saloon is necessarily a boon, but
that there may be saloons by the hum
dred IN community and vet that COM
munity be temperate and prosperous
one.
The Milwaukee conditions on the sa-
loon question can with truth be applied
to Watertown, although there are
rather more saloons in Milwaukee in
proportion to the population than in
this city. In Milwaukee there is one
saloon to 140 of the population and in
WatertoWn one saloon for about 100 of
the population.
