SUBSTITUTE FOR SALOONS

Dr.. Fiank Crane, whose always
bright and interesting writings are
appearing in many American periodi-
calls, writes along most original lines
for 1.-The American City" magazine
on that popular topic. "a Substitute
for the Saloons"
DR.. Crane says "tne only way to-
get anywhere is to start where you
are now, and the present-day saloon
would be his starting point. Nothing
fancy, nothing with the touch of up
hit" or charity will get anywhere, he
believes. He says:
1t must be a place where any
man with a nickel can go in, have
good time, and feel that he is
helping support the concern.
1t must not be a place where
men are urged to go. II they
are urged they will not go. 1t is
human nature. Preferably it
should not be entirely approved
by the moralists. 1t should be as
tough" as its neighborhood. 1t
must be run by private enter
prises, and pay we'll enough to at
tract an efficient manager. If the
city runs it,or church, or some
benevolent society, it will fall.
1t must arise from a read need of
the people themselves.
1t must have a free comfort
station. Some kind of a free
lunch also would help. There
should be opportunities for card
playing and billiards.
There should be an expert bar
keeper 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 distribute to the
ward boss.
All this may seem rather low
along the ground. Perhaps it is.
But there's where folks live, the
kind of folks that so to saloons,
and if you want them you must
you must go where they are: they
will not come to you.
And this is the kind of sub
stitute that will grow up to meet
the need. And any kind you at
tempt to devise and hand down to
the ex-saloon crowd will most
certainly fail.
There is wisdom in this. The fire.
quenter of the saloon will shy off
from pink tea surroundings and he
wants no charity. Likewise he does
not desire to be "upliftedP or wei
Jared" Both are being overdone in
this country. But he does want some
place to go, and some such place
will spring up to meet the demand.
And it will not be altogether desir-
able, but it won't be as bad as the
saloon, so we shall get one step fur
Their along. at any rate. We must
understand that the abolition Of the
barroom will not herald the millen-
mum.

Soldier craftsmanship in the Dominion thus far has
