Mr Dooley on Bishop Potter's Model Saloon SOCIAL SIDE OF THE WHISKY BUSINESS FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE MAN BEHIND THE BAR gg SEE," said Mr. Dooley, "a bishop I down in NewTork has opened a saloon." "Glory be!" said Mr. Hennessy. "Not our kind av bishop?" "No," said Mr. Dooley. "Wan iv th near-our-kind. He didn't ra-aly open it th' way ye think. He don't own the jlnt. He on'y backs it with his moral infloo ence, like a brewery. Te see, it was thls way. "Wan day this bishop dhropped into his club. I don't know why it Is that we always say a man dhrops into a club. He's more likely to dhrop out If he ain't supported. But, annyhow, th bishop dhropped Into his club an hurlin' hlmsllf into a sumchuous ar-rm chair, opened his brewery an' settled down to wait fr th avenln' pa-apers. As he sat there with hl3 feet cocked up on a chair, readln' his devotional book an occasionally dlv ln' Into th' milk punch, he saye to hlm sllf: This is rale comfort. A club is a gran place. Suddenly th' thought sthruck him. "What, says he, 'am I doln' f'r th' poor? Here I am loungln' In comfort In me club. Has th poor wurrukln man a club? Not at all. He has no club but th wan th pollsman carries. Thin where does he spind his time between four o'clock in th afthernoon an eight o'clock dinner? In th' saloon. Th' saloons I r-read about where th poor wurrukln' man buys a shell Iv beer, ates four dollars worth Iv free lunch an' goes home an' beats his wife or vicy varsy as th case may be, Is no place f'r him. I will start a model dive 'where me humble mechanic friends lv th slums can take their karoslne amid comfortable surround in's, chat with their fellow jugglers on th issues iv th day an' go home illvated In lvry elnse Iv the wurrud,' he says. "An' he done It. Fr'm what I can make out about this model saloon it ain't much different fr'm th' peaceable hell that I'v been conductin' f'r thirty years. Th', main Ingreejent iv anny rest cure is there! on th shelves. They'se a bar f'r thlm horny handed sons lv tile who can sleep standln' an chairs an tables f'r th' less hardy ruffyans that prefer to coal up In a settln' posture. Th' bartlnders ar-re affable an' sober men but that's thrue lv alL bartlnders. They are supposed, Hlnnlssy, to give th' consumers a brief moral chat while pushln' out th' paint. Afther the third basin it may be nlclssry f'r thlm to have an lllvlnth command ment handy in th' shape iv an ice pick. In a corner lv th' lmpoorum is a sody wather fountain eo that th' poor wur rukln' man don't have to dhrlnk th' de stroyer If he don't want to, but can go over an' inflate hlmsllf at th' gas wur ruks. "Whin a customer at th adjlnln' counther begins to cry over th' Maybrlck Dooley, quoting Bishop Potter "A man, be he rich or poor, shud niver take on more thin is good f'r him (Th manager iv th saloon; or thim he's good f'r). He accipted th' correction." "The unhenighted American wurrikin' man will go to th' saloon because that's a place where wan man's betther thin another an' , nobody is raaly on but th' bartinder. There ought to be wan place where th' poor wurrikin' man can escape bein' patted on th' back." "Somehow or another, Hinnissy, it don't se'em jus' right that there shud be union in church an' saloon. These two gr-reat insti tutions ar-re best kept apart. They kind iv offset each other like th' Supreme Coort an' Congress." case, th' prelate In command there steers him to th liquid air department where he does th r-rest Iv his shoppln. charges hlmsllf with a pan lv carbonic acid an' floats home. This Is to help his hic cup eo that his wlfe'll know" he has not been Idle. I undherstand this branch lv th' plant hasn't had to hire anny extra help. Th' principal customers Is mlmbers lv good governmlnt clubs disguised as poor wurrukinmen in ol tennis clothes. "Wan iv them was heerd to say that he didn't care whether th bar-boy made it an egg-phosphate or a vanilla sthrawber ry mixed, as he did not intlnd to go home till th' followin day, anyhow. Th more permanent poor wurrukinmen, th ath letes In outing clothes Iv blue canvas, has thus far not investigated .th model saloon beyond th' beer pump.g An now I come to think lv It, I can't raymlmber lver seeln' a poor worruklnman sprlntln fr th' Dutchman's pause In front lv a dhrug store as If In doubt. It may have hap pened, but I didn't notice It. Th saloon was opened In person be th' bishop. I r-read his speech. It was fine. He recognized that dhrlnk was an evil havln' met It. But It was a nlclssry evil. On th whole, he was Inclined to think It was more nlclssry thin evil. Takln' It all In all or half an half, or annyway ye "like, It was a good thing. He took his dhrlnk at th club an' why shud his more humble but akelly droughty frlnds among th wurrukln' classes not have their souse as well? They shud. He wud advise modhration, howiver. A man, be he rich or poor, shud nlver take on more thin was good f'r him. (Th manager lv th' saloon: 'Qr thin he's good f'r.') He ac cipted th correction. If he was a savin' mechanic in this bright land lv oppor tunity, he ought to be good f'r what was good f'r him, or more. "Whin a poor wurrukln' man felt th insijous march lv th brannlgan he shud say: 'No, boys, no more f'r me. I mus' go home to th' 111' wans. If I need more I can slnd thlm out f'r it.' A poor wurrukln' man shud nlver "WHAT AM I DOIN' FK TH' POOR? BISHOP POTTER AN ME A-RE BOTH MIMBERS OP TH' SAME IXOCK, TH JCIQUOR DEALERS' PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION. f rget his fam'ly while on a carouse. No amount lv sobbln on th neck lv a bar tinder while tellin what a comfort wife an chlldher was to th' inebryated arti san wud make anny difference. He mus' get home some time durln th' night or he is no thrue upholder iv th' Christyan saloon an its reflnin' inflooence. His par sel shud be no more thin that lv anny glntleman at a club, lest he be as th beasts lv th' Held who don't dhrlnk. Boys. It's on me. "An so, Hlnnlssy, th model saloon was opened. Th arch deacon tapped a fresh keg, th' vicar glnral tossed together a model Christyan gin-fizz an th' good bishop smiled tflnlvolently as th hardy vlstrymen quaffed th nlclssry evil. An whin th' dice-box was passed, did th' hand Iv th' potter shake? I don't know, Hinnissy. But I do know th model sa loon Is goln to be a gr-reat moral In flooence In that neighborhood. "Whin th' poor wurrukln' man goes home an thries to wind th clock with th fox tarryer, th' good woman turns to th little wans an' says: 'Chlldher, see what a lovely bun father has got fr'm th bishop.' An whin th tired tiler wants rayfrishment at night he calls: 'Mary Ann, take th' pitcher an' go down to th cathedral f'r a quart.' I'd give something to have what Hogan calls an impreematur over me dure. "Do I think It will be a success? "Well, Hlnnlssy, it wudden't become me to speak Iv a rival in me own line iv busi ness. Bishop Potter an', me ar-ra both mlmbers lv th same flock, th' liquor dealers' protlctlve assocyation, an In that fellowship an Injury to wan Is th con sarn lv all. I don't know whether he has th qualifications f'r a succlssful sa loonkeeper. Not that th' two lines is al together apart. Both a bishop an a sa loonkeeper has a flock to take care iv, but to a certain extlnt, Hlnnlssy, we ar-re each Iv us thryln' to keep our flock out lv' the other's hands. It ain't lvry man that can be a bishop. An' It ain't lvry man that can be a saloonkeeper. A saloonkeeper must be sober, he must be honest, he must be clean an If he's pas tor iv a flock iv poor wurrukln' men, he must know about Ivrythlng that's gdin on In th' wurruld or lver wlnt on. I on'y discuss th light topics lv th' day with ye, Hlnnlssy,. because ye're a frivolous chararkter, but ye'd be surprised to know what an lncycopeeja a man gets to be in this profissyon. lvry man that comes In here an' has three pans iv nlclssry evils tells me, with tears, th' secrets Iv his thrade an offers to fight mo If I don't look Inthrested. I know lnjlneerln. pam mlstry. plumbin, Christyan Science, med icine, horse-shoeln, asthronomy, th care lv.th' hair, an' th' laws Iv exchange, an' th knowledge I have lv how to subjoo th' afflctions lv th ladies wud causa manny a pang. I tell ye, we ar-re a fine body iv men. Bishops comln into th' saloon business? In behalf lv th' Liquor Dealers' Lithry Club lv th' sixth wa-ard, I hereby challenge th' colledge Iv bishops to a spell down. "Not that I'm proud Iv me profissyon or shud I say, me art? It's wan way lv makln' a livin'. I suppose it was me vo cation. I got into It first because I didn't like to dhrive an . express wagon, an I stayed in it because they was nawthin' else that seemed worth while. I am not a hard dhrinker. I find if I dhrlnk too much I can't meet an' do th lntellechool joynts that swarm In here afther a meet In at th' rowlln' mills. On Saturday nights I am convlvyal. On New Tear's eve, I thry to make th' ol' year just as sorry It's lavln' me as I can. But I have no more pleasure in shovln over to ye that liquid sunstroke thin I wud If I had to dole out collars, hair dye. books, hard blled eggs, money or annythlng else that wudden't be good f'r ye. Liquor Is not a nlclssry evil. Hogan says It's wan way lv ra-allzln th' Ideel. Th' nex' day ye're ashamed lv ye'er ldeel. Th' throuble about It Is that whin ye take it ye want more. But that's th throuble with Ivry thlng we take. If we get power, we want more power; if we get money we want more money. Our vices r-run on fiver. Our varchues, Hinnissy, is what me frindt Dock Casey calls, self-llmltlng. "But I must get back fr'm me lab'rtory to Bishop Potter's. Will me frlnd suc ceed? I hope he will. "We can't get too many daclnt men Into our profissyon. They'se wan thing I wud call me neigh bor's attintion to. Th unbenlghted American wurrikin' man likes his dhrlnk as who does not? But he wants to take It In peace. His varchues has been wrote about. But let him lnjye his few simple vices In his own way, says I. He goes to th' saloon and ye go to th' club mostly f'r th' same reason. Ye don't want to go home. He don't need annywan to push him into a bar. He'll go there be cause that's a place where wan man's bet ther thin another an nobody Is raaly on but th' bartinder. There ought to be wan place where th' poor worruklnman can escape bein patted on th back. He ain't so bad, ye'er grace, as ye think. "Wurrukln men don't dhrlnk to excess. Dhrunkenness Is a vice iv th idle. Did ye lver see a la-ad sprlntln across a joist two hundhred feet In th air? D'ye think he cud do that if he was a free dhrinker? Th' on'y wurrukinmen who dhrink much too much ar-re thruckmen, an' that's be cause they have so much time on their hands. "While they ar-re waitin fr a load they git wan. Aven some iv thlm ar-re sober. Te can tell thim be their hats. "Somehow or another, Hinnissy, It don't seem jus' right that there shud be a union lv church an' saloon. These two gr-reat Institutions are best kept apart. They kind lv offset each other like th' Supreme Coort an Congress. Dhrink Is a nlclssry evil, nlclssry to th' clargy. If they lver admit It's nlclssry to th' consumers they might as well close up th' churches. Te'll nlver find Father Kelly openln a saloon. He hates me business but he likes me. He says dhrlnk Is an evil but I'm a nlcls slty. If I moved out a worse man might come In me place." "Te ra-aly do think dhrlnk Is a nlclssry evil," said Mr. Hennessy. "Well," said Mr. Dooley, "If it's an evil to a man. It's not nicissry, an' if it's nlcls sry It's an evil." (Copyright, 1901, by Mc-Clure,- Phillips & Co.).
