1 National Prohibition of Alcoholic Beverages in the United States, 1922 1922

handle is hein.beal/natpralbev0001 and id is 1 raw text is: The National Prohibition of Alcoholic Beverages in the United States 1922 Edited and Illustrated by H. N. Pringle, Assistant Superintendent of the International Reform Bureau Washington, D. C. Under the license system, liquors were transported from brewing and distilling centers of the United States by car loads or by train loads; but prohibition reduced that traffic to nocturnal operations with boats or automobiles. The picture above shows a train load of rum leaving Boston for Japan. American prohibition, unlike that of Canada, forbids the manufacture or exportation of intoxicating liquors for use in other countries. In every community men and women have had an opportunity flow to know what Prohibition means. They know that debts are more promptly paid; that men take home the wages that once were wasted in the saloons; that families are better clothed and fed, and more money finds its way into the savings banks. The liquor traffic was destructive of much that was most precious in American life. In the face of so much evidence on that point what conscientious man would want to let his own selfish desires influence him to vote to bring it back? In anothcr generation I believe that liquor will have disap- peared not merely from our politics, but from our memories. -WARREN G.
