THE NEW SALVATION BARS

Sociologists who have given proloun' study to the reasons for the saloon ; attraction have bean inclined 10 daub, if it's place can be taken very successfully hy any form or community center, soft drink cate' reading room or any other warrant Of the poor mans club Men do go to saloons for sociability, to De sure. but they go for other reasons one Of which Is to drink, and N drink something stronger than eot- fee or ginger ale. NeYertheless' since men accustomed t0 staying away from home are not going to get into the habit of going home immediately, all encouragement IS dua to the various bodies which are trying to remaks the saIoons' in many cases the old stands, into piaces Of social meeting which shall attract former visitors.
 If any of the various religious civic or social organizations which are planning this can do it success fully, 1t is likely to be the Salvation Army, whose plans were announced in yesterdays papers. That or ganizatlon has won general admira- tion by its work in various and dli- ticult fields, most recently in It's mInistrations to our soldiers What it does it seems to do well, Moreover, the Salvation Army un- derstands the temperament of the classse of the population which frequent rhe cheaper saloons; Il knows how to approach them and what 10 give them. And in a world at present diversified by so many manifestations Of intolerance it Fs a pleasure to hear from Con- mander Booth that, while members of the salvation Army do not smoke, they have no objection to other peoples smoking tn the new Salvation bars. and apparently feel that those who are to frequent them have some right to their own idea of the comfort and cheer
 which the reformed saloons are tc promote.-New York Times.

WHY NOT DO IT?

Woud it not be 8 good scheme if the presen { council would place street names at the various corners? Also would it not now be the time for the numbering of houses?
 A stranger coming into Seward cannot help but be impressed by the main thoroughfare, Broadway. This stresr is the best in all Alaska This first impression is a lasting one. If the stranger would also find street signs up and houses numbered, the impression would be greater.
