A "Substitute for tho Saloon :"

The Rev. JAMES E. FREEMAN, an
Episcopal clergyman who is rector OF
st. Andrews Memorial Church at Yonk-
ers, has written a book entitled II Not
the Saloon-What?' 1t is an argument
for the establishment Of a substitute
for the saloon The Hollywood
Inn was put up at Yonkers in 1895. and
enlarged In 1902, az such a substitute, and
we are glad to learn from Mr.. FREE
MANS book that II has been very sue
cessful undertaking.
This clergyman, however, will not
find among the frequentes Of liquor
saloons any honest confirmation OF this
theory put forward by him:
The great majority of those who patronise the
saloon. we are constrained TO believe. are not at
trac,ed thlther BY Its liquors. but BY Its recrestve
features. We venture 70 believe that. 70 the vast
number Of Its patrons. the magnet Of Its chief at
tracuveness Is It's associations rather than it,
intoIicants.-
Now. actually, Mr.. FREEMAN. the sole
reason for the existence Of the liquor
saloon is that it supplies intoxicating
or alcoholic beverages to drink. The
magnet OF its chief attractiveness is
the liquor II has for sale. People 60 to
a liquor saloon or beer saloon to get a
drink, as they 60 TO butchers for
meat or to a bakers for bread. Take
the drink away and II would have no
attraction for them.
Undoubtedly, club like the Holly
wood Inn at Yonkers may have greater
attractions for many men-games, enter
tainments, dances. baths, a gymnasium,
q library, smoking and meeting rooms,
and what not; and therefore it may be,
as Mr.. FREEMAN quotes the most con-
spicuous leader Of the liquor interests in
the State as acknowledging it to be, the
only institution with which the saloon
interests have to reckon; the fairest
and altogether the most reasonable SUBJ
etitute that has been devised But.
after ALL the saloon continues to
flourish in spite Of all such competition.
Heavy license taxes cannot drive it out
Of business. Increasing the license fee
in this city by half may shut up some
Of the liquor saloons, but the vast ma
jority Of them will 90 on. and they will
go on so long az the inextinguishable
appetite for stimulation remains In man.
Legislation is powerless to stop liquor
selling and drinking, as the experience
in the Maine-law States has demon
strated so emphatically. Neither will
philanthropic substitutes for saloons .
be more successful. In spite Of the
remark quoted by Mr.. FREEMAN, their
competition is not seriously regarded by
the liquor dealers, who know that their
trade comes from people who want drink
and will take no substitute for II.
Mr.. FRERMAS's club experiment at
Yonkers is both sensible and laudable,
and IL Is remarkably successful also; but
why' Because there is a great popular
demand for the facilities it offers in the
way Of association and recreation. not
because it provides substitute for the
saloon People want other things be-
sides drinks. But when they want
drinks they 60 to place where the beer

The Raids on the Metropolitan Com
pany and Stocks.

Much light has been shed on the meth
DDS Of corporate corruption hunters
within the past forty-eight hours, and,
incidentally, some halos worn more or
less coAspicuously Of late years have lost
brightness. Until last Friday there may
have been . few persons who doubted
the motives Of the lay and professional
oonfederacy who have undertaken an
investigation Of the affairs Of the
Metropolitan Street Railway Company
Since then all doubts have been dis
PEELED. The aggregation, with WILLIAM
N. ANoRY at one end, HENRY J. BRAKKR
at the other, and PHILBIN, TAYLOR and
Others in the middle, are displayed in
all their glory.
Mr.. PHILBIN. whose historical con-
nection with reform it Is unnecessary
to recount, was retained by BRAKER to
investigate AMoRr's charges against the
company. Before he accepted that re-
tainer he wrote to his old friend Mr..
JOHN d. CRINMINs to ask whether the
latter had any objections to his taking
the job. He assured Mr.. CRIMMINs
that. although he had been told that
q suit against the company would re-
turn fame and fortune to himself.
nothing could compensate him for
getting mixed up in the case II Mr.. GRIM
MINIS objected.
Replying 10 that letter, so full OF 80
licitation for his old friends large in
toraata In thu co,v,vorv ,y,a rLod for az
tack, Mr.. CRIMhINs advised. PHILBIN
TO steer clear OF the whole business,
adding the sage observation that such
suits were usually instituted for either
revenge or gain. But Mr.. PHILBrN list
ened 10 the siren singing Of fame and
fortune and, after the receipt OF Mr..
CRIMhnNs's letter. he accepted the re-
tainer.
Thereupon, Mr.. PHILBIN conducted
what he was pleased often to refer to as
. judicial investigation Of AhoBY's
charges. He assured everybody who
made inquiries that, unless he found
AMoRY's Representations to be true, he
would do nothing, and. even il true,
he would take no action until he gave the
company a chance to explain. He in
vestigated and thought he discovered
the theft Of enormous sums from the
company's treasury. He reached this
conclusion by an examination Of certain
public reports from the company TO the
State Railroad Commissioners and from
other public documents. Then Mr..
PHrLBrN effected Q most brilliant and
original performance OF his promise TO
give the company brought under his
suspicion a chance to explain. He sent
his report TO the company, but before
