Third, Courage to act. All of these elements are important, but the most ant is courage. ‘ It is the element in which most of us are lacking. ; Having vision and intelligence without courage is like a complete machine, perfect and ready to run in all its parts, but inactive, for want of power, Most of us have vision enough. Most of us have intelligence enough. But if any of us of any experience will look back our careers we will find that most often our vision ee right, our interpretation was right, that our failure to grasp opportunities for achievement has been the fear action ; Vision and intelligence without the courage to act “are of no avail. In every field of endeavor we meet men of little vision, small intelligence and to a point of actual ignorance, ‘yet they are men of large accomplishments—tbhey fave succeeded in doing exactly what they started out to do. We wonder at these instances—we compare them with men of more intelligence and education who have not suc-| But it is no wonder at all, It simply means that these men have had large courage _ of action on small vision and low intelligence.

FRANK CRANE (Copyright, 1919, When the Saloon goes what shall we have in place of it? To answer the question intelligently we must consider what the Saloon has meant, what human need it supplied. 1, It meant Intoxication, more or less. By Alcohol men escape from themselves. They find in it a 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 1 get along without poisoning themselves into a deceptive contentment. 2, It meant Democracy. met on a level, 3. It meant a Comfort Station. The ab- nen of suitable Comfort Stations is 4 serious defect in American cities, and one that every community should remedy at onee. 4.

It had enough flavor of devilish- ness in it to make it attractive. Beer is not as good as ice-cream soda, but it’s wickeder, which more than compensates. The substitute must cover these points. The first point suggests no substitute. | When Alcohol is removed it leaves a hole— nothing can fill it, But it is like taking a splinter out of a wound; by and by, if a man is healthy, the sore spot will heal. The Substitute must not be “better” than the people who are supposed to patronize it. There must be no “uplift” business to it, to “elevate the poorer classes,” or to any such thing. People do not want to be “improved.” They want a niace for self-expression, a place to be bad if they choose. The Substitute may pay for itself. It was a bit | It must be clean of any purpose to “‘do | If | by Frank Crane) saloons, and if you want them you must ‘go where they are, they will not come to iu.

In course of time, as habits of sobriety become established, and a new generation arises free from the taint of alcoholic eray- ing, the Substitute will improve. | But the only way to get anywhere, | to start from where you are now. | | yor GROWDING A THOUSAND _ YEARS INTO A DAY BY THE REV.
