    BECOMING MODERN: AMERICA IN THE 1920S PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION Destruction of an illegal still, Miami, Florida, 1925 Anti-Prohibition campaign, Wilmington, Delaware, ca. 1930 Florida State Archives Hagley Museum __Should Prohibition Be Repealed?__ “Five Years of Prohibition and Its Results,” The North American Review June-July-August 1925 & September-October-November 1925 EXCERPTS * After decades of vehement debate, the “Noble Experiment” of Prohibition commenced on January 17, 1920, one year after the Eight- eenth Amendment had been ratified by the states. The debate did not end at that point, of course; it switched to the issues of efficacy, unforeseen consequences, popular support, and repeal. In 1925 the North American Review invited essays on Prohibition—its success or failure—from leaders in the law, government, public health, business and labor, education, and the church. Excerpts from the twenty-one essays are presented here; the pro-repeal arguments appearing first, as they were in the Review. What factors were central in the debate five years into Prohibition? What later factors entered the debate, especially in the 1928 presidential campaign? [Images added.] Samuel H. Church was president of the Carnegie Institute. “‘the greatest mistake in the world’” His essay was titled “The Paradise of the Ostrich.” Finding myself seated one night at dinner beside a United States Judge who possesses one of the greatest judicial minds that our country has produced in this generation, I asked him what he thought of Prohibition. “Regardless of what your feelings may be concerning the use of liquor,” he replied,” the American people made the greatest mistake in the world when they inserted the statute itself in the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution.

    PUBLIC HEALTH REPORTS VOL. 41 AUGUST 20, 1926 No. 34 THE INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC OF 1926 A Preliminary Note on Certain Epidemiological Indicat.ons1 The wave of influenza in the late winter and spring of 1926 in the United States was more than ordinarily severe when compared with the influenza outbreaks which have occurred since 1920. MIeas- ured by the excess of mortality over the corresponding period in 1925, which was not an "influenza year," the toll in lives exacted by the disease was by no means negligible. In fact, were it not for the over-shadowing pandemic of 1918, which caused over 500,000 deaths in the United States alone, and the epidemic of 1920, which caused about 100,000 deaths in this couintry, the 1996 outbreak would have been regarded as a calamity. TABLE I.-Comparison of weekly mortality rates per 1,000 population from all causes in large cities of the United States during the period December 27, 1925- May 29, 1926, with those for the corresponding period in 1924-25 Rate per 1,000 Rate per 1,000 Week ended- Corre- Week ended- Corre- sponding Exoess 1 spondingweek in inExcess1926 1926 week in in 1026 1925 1925 1926 1926 Jan. 2 -14.4 14.3 0.1 Apr. 3 -17.7 14.7 3.0 Jan. 9 -15 6 14.6 1.0 Apr. 10 -17.4 14.0 3.4 Jan. 16- 14.9 14.2 .7 Apr. 17 -158 14.5 1. 3 Jan. 23 -14.9 14.2 .7 Apr. 24 -15.5 14.6 .9 Jan.
