Prohibition m Riverside, California

Fix Years' f xperiehce,

This is what the editor of th»- Daily Press says about the effects of P:ohs biiion m California's greatest oritngii city (as quoted m a O»li?oriii u> Tern perance journal, for December): — Opponents of Prohibition are never weary of ringing the changes on the old itock argument that no town can be prosperous without saloons They we careful not to name any community ■which has attained either mated ii, Intellectual or spiritual growth through the Instrumentality of the open saloon, but, notwithstanding this fact, their Statement a oft-times go unchallenged That ® city or comtaanity may prosper without saloons is demonstrated hy th^ iiisfcory of Riverside S. California's greatest city. The city has enjoyed local Prohibition lor six years, and those years mark an er» of prosperity and growth unexampled m the history of Southern California towns. Facts and Figures mat be Dry Things, fecit they are convincing, and more difficult to refute than wild generali ties or the unsupported allegations of the saloon advocates. Riverside now baa 7,978 aoala, so the census bureau Informed us a few days ago. Daring the past decade there have been saloons In the city for two years ; they were expelled by a Prohibition oriinance m 1893. Daring this ppriod of ten years fche city has gaim-d 3,250 inhabitants -a gain of 70 per cent. Prom Jan uary Ist, 1900, to July Ist, 1900, there were built m the Oity ot River side 100 houses and business bkcks, and a local paper recently published the statement that fifty new houses were now In course of erection, and that the buildings erected m the town daring the present year woold aggre gate m cost 225,000d01a. Most of these buildings were for new residents who had come here to get the benefit of good schools, good society, prosper ous business conditions, and to escape from communities where the saloon corse existed. People who do not spend their money for drink have Money to invest m Public Improve ments and the luxuries of modern civilisa tion. The comparison between River side and San Bernardino clearly demonstrates this statement. The two towns have nearly the same population. Each is a county seat. San Bernardino is *a • wide open town,' thoroughly dominated by the saloon influence A new high school building was needed therp, and the school directora made the modest re quest that the people vote bonds for lb^OOOdol. They were overwhelmingly voted down; The same aorfc of a pro position was submitted to the voters of Rivprside, with the difference that a 40.0Q0d01. felgh school building was wanted. A week after the San Ber nardino bond issue was defeated, Riverside decided, by a vote of 211 to 7, that Ample School Facilities should be provided for the oncoming generation of boys and girls! The same liberality and public spirit have characterised the people m other nut ters. An improved electric light ser vice was demanded m Riverside. The Oity Trostosa asked tho people to vote 40,000d01. bonds for an auxiliary steam plant. Th«* proposition carried by a vote of 767 to 132. Bivereide believes that light is a good thing. Riverside believes, too, that water is more to be desired than beer, and so has developed a water supply and water system which has vo paer on the Pacific Ooast. More than 4,000 inches of Water is Flowing m Three Canals and artesian wells bored within the past year have added to the already adequate supply. The saloon breeds and fosters crime ; its absence guaran tees a law abiding community. Advo cates of the saloon are wont to assert that there is as much drunkenness and crime m towns where there are no saloons m where Prohibition is en forced. Riverside's Jail Record for the past six monchs will effectually refute this absurd contention. Both city aod county prisoners are confined In fche city jail, and the following record of registration for the six months ending July Ist partakes of the phenomenal. There are m every city a few confirmed inebriates who appear before the City Recorder with unfailing regularity. Riverside has soms of this class, and their presence accounts for a good number of the arrests and convictions for drunken ness. Then, too, there is on the out skirts of the city quite an Indian and Mexican population, and they always manage to obtain liquor for their periodical sprees, The jail register shows the enrolment to be as follows ;—

For a continuous period of twenty. five days m July aed August The 'Jail was Closed foe Want of an Occupant —a condition unheard of where the open Baloon is present to breed and foster crime. But, we are told, that fche drag stores and hotels dispense as much liquor as would the open saloon. This is not a fact. It is possible to obtain liquor m a drag store, bat it must be on a physician's prescription, and the purchase of liquor by minors, the fostering of the social evil, the gambling table and other attendant evils of the saloon are not present. The awful, demoralising influence of the saloon is done away with, vice and crime are minimised and society is elevated and purified I Prohibition Stands pr Peacb, Prosperity, and Plenty. Riverside has found that the saloon has no satisfactory substitute for these ; and after four years* trial of Prohibition, the city voted over whelmingly two years ago to keep out saloons. The result is seen m the superior class of citizens who have beea idded to th& city's population
