| Description | Cartoon shows an old geezer in a rocking chair, holding a paper reading "The Solution of the Liquor Problem, 1930," talking to a young boy. He tells him, "Quite a coincidence! I was the class orator at your age and the subject was the same as yours." The intemperate use of alcohol had been viewed as a social problem since the middle of the nineteenth century. The introduction of Prohibition was viewed as the solution to the problem in the 1920s, but by the end of the decade, many people had decided that Prohibition was a failure. |
