Why Prohibition! (1918)

Why Prohibition! is a book written by Charles Stelzle and published in 1918. The book is a passionate defense of the Prohibition movement in the United States, which sought to ban the sale and consumption of alcohol. Stelzle argues that alcohol is a destructive force in society, leading to poverty, crime, and moral decay. He cites statistics and anecdotes to support his arguments, and also draws on religious and moral principles to make his case. Stelzle addresses common objections to Prohibition, such as the argument that it infringes on personal liberty, and argues that the benefits of a sober society far outweigh any perceived drawbacks. The book is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the social and political climate of the early 20th century, and the debates surrounding Prohibition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
