THEATER AGAINST SALOON.

One Of the unexpected effects Of
the establishment in Walla Walla du-
ring the past summer, Of theaters and
parks has been the greatly diminish
ed evening patronage in the saloons
Of the city. The amusement resorts
have made themselves entertaining,
and have been literally patronized
by men. While the bill is on, the sa-
looms are comparatively empty.
When the theaters close, the crowds
pour out on the streets, but many
Of the men go home, others merely
drop into the saloons for a few min
utes, then they also go home. Their
evening has passed by, and it has
become bedtime. This would seem
to indicate that many of the evening
habitues Of drinking resorts go
there for amusement, rather than
for BOOKING, AMI that if other ways
Of pleasantly PASSING the time are
provided, the evening at the saloon
is not attractive. The men in search
Of an evenings recreation finds the
theater more attractive than the sa-
loon. Besides, he can take his fami-
~ and give wife and children a pleas
ure, and all for less expense. where
popular prices for admission are
charged. This may be new to many
in WaIla Walla, but it has been thor
oughly tried in older and larger
cities. Thus the stage conduces to
family enjoyment, promotes sociabil-
ity, diminishes intoxication, and pro
vides public recreation. This is a
practical ex-emplifcation of the con-
tention Of William T. Stead in his
book IF Christ Came to Chicago"
If the alluremen,s offered to pleas
ure-seekers and hopeless id!ers are
to be counteracted, substitute.

tive must be provided" Stead says
do this and the saloon evil will be
largely removed. Let WalIa Walla's
crusaders take this home lesson to

posterity which have done so much
for Walla Wallas reputation as fine

like a pot of molten lead was at the
