''Why Prohibition!'' is a book written by Charles Stelzle in 1918, during the height of the Prohibition era in the United States. The book provides a detailed account of the reasons behind the Prohibition movement, which sought to ban the sale, production, and transportation of alcohol in the country. Stelzle argues that the consumption of alcohol is a major cause of social problems such as crime, poverty, and health issues, and that the only way to address these issues is through prohibition. He also provides a historical overview of the temperance movement, which preceded Prohibition and aimed to reduce alcohol consumption through education and persuasion. The book is written in a persuasive style, with Stelzle making a strong case for the benefits of Prohibition and the dangers of alcohol consumption. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Prohibition and the temperance movement in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
