Sixty mile an hour world fuels prohibition debate
Raymond Robins argues that modern life with fast travel, urbanization, and rising education makes prohibition necessary to protect life and property. He cites engineers, social change, and alcohol’s effects on the body, warning of the saloon as a social menace and praising prohibition as a public safety measure. The piece blends commentary with local notes about Thanksgiving, a marriage, and church activity in Elwood.
