KEGS AND BOTTLES NOW OUTLAWED THE “BONE-DRIEST” ENFORCEMENT RULING—a “signal for war on home brew”—leading papers call the latest Prohibition decision of the United States Supreme Court, quoted at the close of this article. The Court’s verdict that kegs, bottles, corks, and whatsoever enters into prohibited liquor-... continued

Moonshining During Prohibition

Flapper — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:06:59 +0000

Before the prohibition era moonshining had never been a commercial proposition, It originated, as I think is generally known, as a gesture of defiance at a law which the majority of the inhabitants of that section considered as basically unjust as the Prohibition Act is considered by a large number of well-educated citizens.

Statistics and Prohibition

A REPORT just issued by the Moderation League makes very broad statements about the evil effects of prohibition. It represents the "next generation" as drinking "as never before." Almost simultaneously has come the announcement of a book by Irving Fisher called "Prohibition at Its Worst." He offers statistics on the other side.

Referendums on the Liquor Issue Part 2

Flapper — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:44:56 +0000

A VERY bad form of referendum proposal is the one to be presented to the voters of New York State on November 2. This particular referendum proposes, in effect, to ask the Congress of the United States to permit the forty-eight separate States to construe, interpret, and enforce a provision of the National Constitution, namely, the Eighteenth Amendment. It is utterly futile and in its effect would be utterly disappointing to both wets and drys.

IT is perhaps not very logical for the country to be so wrought up over the liquor issue that it thinks of very little else.

Flapper — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:59:13 +0000

IN the battle between wets and drys there appears to be no ground for a genuine compromise. In the matter of the Volstead Act the choice is between enforcement and nullification. In the matter of the Eighteenth Amendment the choice is between its maintenance or its repeal and the return of the licensed and legalized liquor traffic.

MANY voters on election day will have something besides candidates to discuss. In nine States some phase of the liquor problem will go before the electors in the form of a referendum. The New York referendum is admirably discussed by Congressman Davenport in this week’s issue of The Outlook. Mr. Davenport, as our readers know, is one of the outs... continued
