Substitute For the Saloon
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)


From the way prohibition is gradual
ly covering this country it seems as
though it viii only be matter of time
until the saloon will have to go out of
business. A few spots may remain
moist. but the most of the Union will
be dry, ranging from rather to bone
dry.
What will take the place of the sa-
loon?
To answer this question let us ask
another: What is saloon?
1t is a place for Sociabilty with the
stimulus of Alcohol.
Nothing since the world began has
been discovered that promotes good
cheer social feeling, and sense of per-
sonal comfort so quickly and so cheaply
as Alcohol Scientists say it does this
at the expense of our health, and moral
lists claim it does it at the expense of
our character; but the point is, it does
it. No appeal of good fellowship and
care-freeness can yet equal "the stein on
the table and good song ringing clear"
If we are to take away the stein what
will we put on the table in it's stead?
Tea? Coffee? Drug store drinks7
Water?
First, It may as well be admitted that
to man with developed craving for al
cohol nothing can take its place. All
temperance drinks leave him cold His
organism cries out for his accustomed
stimulus, and to offer him strawberry
soda is like offering soapsuds to baby
that wants milk.
There is, therefore. nothing to be done
with the alcohol tipplers. While they
live they will complain
The only hope is with the children
They must be trained to find in some
other way that JOY Of life, that release
from care, that excitement which men
now find in partially paralyzing them
selves with alcohol.
What that other way, or those other
ways, will be depends upon the spon-
taneous effort of the future people them
selves Nobody predicted the saloon; 1t
Just grew; nobody can predict the COM
ing substitute for the saloon; it must
also just grow.
Certain it is that people who have
never become addicted TO alcohol are as
happy. healthy, and resourceful, to say
the least as the drinkers. When they
become the overwhelming majority they
will devise their own forms of social en-
tertainment, their own outlets for vital
ity.
The substitute for the saloon Is not to
be prepared by the wisdom of reformers
and presented ready-made TO the world;
it will grow in its own way, in its own
good time, and when it comes it will be,
wholesomely, as the saloon is now un-
wholesomely, "of the people, by the peo-
pie, and for the people"
