Signs of Profife and Prohibition Advancing Across States
A Prohibition sermon by Rev. L. M Grigsby cites growing temperance virtue and social ostracism of drinkers. He notes physicians opposing alcohol, business and railway sectors excluding drinkers, and a nationwide wave of reform. He lists state-by-state prohibitions, local options, and declining crime, asserting 30 million Americans live in prohibition territory with more to come.
