The Union in Cincinnati, Ohio

Prohibition woes and modern manners in a bustling era

A kaleidoscope column rails at Prohibition, racket fears, and social trends. It cites Blanton’s impatience, Wilson’s improvisations, and cockeyed boosters while lampooning moral outrage, education via films, and the era’s sexual double standards. It mocks Washington politics, clergy sobriety, and the era’s social fallout with sharp, often scathing wit.
