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

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'

amount lv sobbln on th neck lv a bar

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.).
