Of the board since it's organization in

without dissenting vote. On the sub
ject of the currency the report says:
Probably there is no subject which
is still of such Importance as that Of
the currency. While the great upris-
ing in favor of sound money in 1896
was not without it's good effect, there
is still much to be desired in the way

ditiOn is mainly due to the fact that
the future of our monetary system is
still largely in doubt. confidence

While hard times are undoubtedly a
stimulus to unsound systems OF IL
nance, it is a mistake to suppose thal
the numerous friends of such systems
will be entirely satisfied by return OF
prosperity. The only way to meet II
is by persistent education, for when
purpose some of the 'sound-money
organizations have been continued ana
a national one formed, though without
very much popular interest or support
and by the adoption of sound imam
cial policy, including not only coinage
but banking and currency. While our

of our late financial difficulties, When

MR.. ZENS HITS BACK.
ANSWERS A PERTINENT EDITORIAL
OF EDITOR CULLEY.
POINTS FOR MAYOR COUNCIL.
Says All Down Town Saloons Are Run as
Gambling Dens and the only objection
to His Having License is the Fact
That He wont Sell Milwaukee Beer.

Mr.. Editor: Please allow me little
space in your paper to answer the
mayor in regard to his false statement.
Now he is trying to put the license
question in different light, because
the mayor and the council knows that
their action was very wrong, and
through their action they robbed the
city out of seven months license, which
amounts pretty near to $500, and N.Y.
self and my family out Of $50 rent per
month. Now he says that the council
would not grant a license for free and
easy dance hall. Mr.. Schwartz never
intended to open such business here
for two good reasons. The said
Schwartz knows that such business
won't pay in place like Kenosha, and
the second reason is that he could not
have my business place for such pur-
pose But he told the mayor that he
would open a free concert hall. Now
what is free concert hallg If the
mayor and the members OF the council
were brought up in Germany, where
they have such places and gardens, or
if they lived even one year in big city
like Milwa .kee, they would have a
better idea of such business.
But the beer made the trouble. IF
Mr.. Schwartz would sell the Milwaukee
beer, then of course the concert hall
would be allowed and it would be the
place for the laborng people who don't
earn enough to so to the opera house
every week like our Hon. Mayor and
the members of the council.
Now comes the question: Is it not
better for father who has family to
support, or a son who should support
his old mother, to go in a free concert
hall, (if we had one) to hear the music
and also take drink if he wishes, than
to go down on Main strset in some high
toned saloon. where they gamble for
money, and lose on one Saturday night
the whole weeks earnings.
In some saloons here in this city they
play for turkey, and about fourteen
or fifteen young men or boys pay loo.
each, and the wheel Of fortune is turn
ed and the winner who ought to get
the turkey gets ST. instead, because
there is no turkey in the house, and
the balance of the money, 40 or 5Oc.,
goes to the proprietor of the house, and
that is all right. Our mayor and the
members of the council are so afraid
that our young people will get spoiled
in concert hall, but they don't care a
continental if they spend all the money
they earn in gambling place; and
furthermore, a laboring man who don't
earn enough to go to show or con-
cert mnst stay at home night after
night like prisoner-sleep and work
because our mayor and city fathers
insist on it. Laboring men will re-
member this at the next election.
Yours truly,
ALBERT ZENS.
