The text surveys contemporary public claims and then counters them with observations attributed to the author’s experiences as a prison commissioner. It emphasizes that young people continue to consume alcohol despite difficulty in obtaining it, and it links Prohibition to ongoing immorality and unquantified harms. The narrative culminates in a direct challenge to reformers and “drys,” asserting Prohibition lacks the supposed magic influence.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":45,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/religion-spirituality/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-volstead-act-some-truths-regarding-prohibition/325815/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-volstead-act-some-truths-regarding-prohibition/325815.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"River Wang","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-15","2026-09-21",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":39},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"Who is presented as the author of the work?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The document credits B.

hearing a greatdeal about Prohibition these days.From certainchannels there are favorable comments by peoplewho are imbued with its efficacy.They tell us ofthe real good it has accomplished.  \nIam of the impression that we will continue tohear more from its opponents as time goes on,formany persons have patiently awaited develop-ments,and have,thus far,refrained fromexpress-ing themselves.  \nBut I feel qualified to express myself,since thecauses of crime have been a life-study with me.  \nI have personally met and conversed with alltypes of people both poor and rich.The subjectis one of intense interest.  \nMy views are shared by thousands of persons,doctors,lawyers,clergymen and men in all walksof life who look at the subject from an impartialpoint of view.  \nThey know by visual evidence that there neverwas a time in the history of America when youngpeople of both sexes,either had a desire to,oractually did consume more alcoholic drinks thanthey do today.The very fact that it is difficult toprocure makes them all the more anxious toobtain it.Whether it is done with the idea ofbeing smart or due to a disrespect of the law,isdifficult to say.  \nNevertheless,it has led to immoralities,theextent of which will never be known.During myincumbency as Prison Commissioner,I was ","cbCaiiVF93Rym48B","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiVF93Rym48B","pdf",789105,17,"English","# The
