A GOOD RECORD.

Samuel Wright is one of Milwaukee, 8
most active and efficient aldermen. 1t
gives The Democrat pleasure to note the
fact, for two reasons: First, because
he il n particular friend of the publish
ers of this paper; and second, because
he was in his earlier years resident of
Mineral Point, where he gained lot of
experience essential in conducting the
affairs of a great city. The milwaukee,
Journal of Feb. IL had this to say of
him:
Aid. Wright has always given his
support to measures intended to reuu
late and suppress vice in all forms since
he became member of the common
council. He believes the responsibility
must be definitely placed before any
lasting good can be accomplished.
The Journals comment was called
forth ty a statement made by Alder
man Wright that Milwaukee's present
city administration hasn't the ability to
cope with the dance hall evil which il
agitating the minds of the people of
that city. Mr.. Wright will introduce
an ordinance placing Police Jansscn in
full charge of dance halls where more
than one dance week is held. Mr..
Wrights purpose of definitely fixing
the responsibility for the enforcement
of law is in keeping with the political
thought of the times touching the nd /
minstration of affairs in city, state, and
nation.

THE collection Of enamels," said
Mr. Seligmann, CONSTITUTES perhaps a
fourth part Of the Morgan treasures,
but when 1t Is assembled in the Me-
tropolitan museum will be abel
to boast OF the most remarkable dis

museum abroad can begin to approach
1t In size or Importance.

strong effort Is being made to induce
him to modify his intention of remov-
ing the bulk OF them to America. Their
Importance in England Is generally
recognized, Hundreds OF people have
gone to the South Kensington museum
for the sole object of seeing the small
part OF the collection which was dis
played there.
although some Of the finest art
products in existence are being brought
to America this Is only the beginning
OF campaign by which Mr.. Morgan
means to gather here for the edifica-
