Excerpt from The Saloon Problem and Social Reform
Time-pressed citizen and student may have enough accurate and authoritative data to enable him to reach his own conclusions. The methods of solving the problem de mand special attention. In attempting this task, no effort is made to exploit some Uto pian scheme for social ills. Any extreme measures based on partisanship and emo tionalism, or any academic theory that has not been tested and made effective in the field of action, will fail to meet the present social situation. If the methods advocated are to be permanent and satisfactory they must be buttressed in facts and imbedded in human nature and society as we find them. Each of the essential social forces involved, and more or less responsible for the continued existence of the saloon, is discussed in a separate chapter. The pe culiar significance of each of the social forces does not spring from the fact that it is new or startling, but from its coordinate relation and fresh application to the sub ject. If the feeling of futility is to give place to confidence in the solution of the problem, no one can afford to be ignorant.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and multifaceted issue of the saloon in early 20th-century America.

The book argues that the saloon's influence extended far beyond individual choices, impacting the very fabric of society through its ties to corruption, poverty, and crime. The author meticulously analyzes the saloon's economic impact, revealing how it drained resources from communities and undermined the financial well-being of working families.
