Prohibition Move and Reform Debate in New York
The piece discusses a letter from John B. Cornell declining New York County Prohibition Association presidency due to duties, reaffirming support for temperance. It cites Methodist doctrine against liquor and analyzes the economic and social impact of liquor establishments, alleging massive citywide profits and societal harm from Prohibition-era alcohol trade. It highlights ten thousand liquor shops metaphorically as a single vast establishment and calls for reform through family, church, and state action.
