go where they are, they will not come to
you.
And this is the kind Of Substitute that
will grow up 10 meet the need. And any
kind you attempt 10 devise and hand down.
To the ex-saloon crowd will most certainly
fail.
In course Of time, as habits Of sobriety
become established, and new generation
arises free from the faint Of alcoholic crav-

But the only way TO get anywhere Is
10 start from where you are now.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

When the Saloon goes what shall we have
in place Of ~
To answer the question iDteligently we
must consider what the Saloon has meant
what human need IL supplied.
I. II meant INVESTIGATION, more or less
BY Alcohol men escape from themselves:
They find In IL way out of the horror OF
the humdrum, out Of their worries. There
Is no substitute for Alcohol which Is not
worse than Alcohol Men will simply have
TO get along without poisoning themselves
into a deceptive contentment
2. II meant Democracy. Rich and poor
met on a level.
3. IL meant a Comfort Station. The abb
sence Of suitable Comfort Stations Is
serious defect in American cities, and one
that every community should remedy al
once. -,
4. II was domestic "City of Refuge
II was n place for the man to go VINO dih
not want 10 20 home. j..
3. IL supplied that true Communion OF
human beings that comes only from eating
and drinking together.
8. II wasn't respectable. IL was DIT
of color. II had enough flavor OF deviiish-
ness In il 90 make IL attractive. Beer ~ not
as good as ice-cream soda. but it's wickeder,
which more than compcnsates.
The substitute must cover these points.
The first point suggests no substitute.
When Alcohol Is removed II leaves a hole
nothing can fill IL. But 1t Is like taking
a splinter out cf a wound; by and by; II
a man Is healthy. the sore spot Will heal.
The Substitute must not be better IMAM
the people who are supposed 10 patronlze
II. There must be no "uplift" business to
IL. II must be clean Of any purpose TO 10
the men good" 10 elevate the poorer
classes" or TO any such thing. People do
not want 10 be Improved" They want q
place for seIf-expression. place to be bad
II they choose. :,
The Substitute may pay for itself. II
there Is any Charity" about IL. If II Is
endowed or supported by benevolence, 1t is
dead from the beginning.
IL must he a place where any man with
nickel can go in. have good time, and
feel like he is helping support the concern.
II must not be a place where men are
urged" 10 go. II they are urged they will
not go. IL Is human nature. Preferably u
should be not altogether approved by the
moralists. II should be rs tough as its
neighborhood.
| II must be run by private enterprise. and
pay well enough 10 attract an efficient man
ager. II the City runs IL, or Church,
or some Benevolent Society, IL will far. IL
must arise from a real need of the people
themselves.
II must have a free Comfort Station.
Some kind Of Free Lunch also would help.
There should be opportunities for card
playing and billiards.
There should be an expert Barkeeper
who gets part Of the profits.
There is no reason why a place of this
sort should not thrive, as it would have no
license to pay and no graft to dispense
TO the ward boss.
All this may seem rather low along the
ground. Perhaps II is. But there's where
folks live. the kind OF folks that go TO

Dancing Masters Say
Weird Steps Must Go

A nationwide campaign to re-
form dancing and abolish public
vulgarity, poorly disguised as ball
room etiquette" was opened last
week at the annual convention of
the American National Associa ton of
Masters of Dancing, in the Aston
Motel, in New York City. "Shimmy"
dances, ear-splitting jazz music,
which invites questionable. body
movements and half-steps are to be
replaced by the more delicate and
po. was the unanimous opinion OF
the 800 or more dancing instructors.
THE first thing we want to ahol-
ish, declared Nose Christensen, head
of the committee, sis that contortion
commonly called the 'shimmy' 1t
originated in a negro dance hall in
Chicago and was seized by certaic
mercenary theatrical managers. The
real reason for the spread of i'm
moral dances is the peoples readi-
ness to initiate anything they see on
the stage. And theatrical managers
seem to crowd their stages these
days days with as much vulgarity
as is humanity possible.
"JaZz music invites immoral steps.
By jazz l mean that medley of cow
bells, dish-pans and whatnot You
can't really dance to such tunes as
they play nowadays, and the result
is the adoption of numerous half
Syncopations should be replaced with
tempos."
Fenton Bott, president of the as
ISOLATION, declared the dancing mas
ters are going after questionable
dancing in earnest
