Prohibition is an awful flop.
We like it.
It can't stop what it's meant to stop.
We like it.
It's left a trail of graft and slime
It don't prohibit worth a dime
It's filled our land with vice and crime,
Nevertheless, we're for it.
-- Franklin P. Adams, 1931, (newspaperman)
-- in the New York World,
-- following release of the report of the Wickersham Commission
