Mob Boss Al Capone
Letters from the Editors We chose crime and prohibition as the topic of our feature article for many reasons. In this decade, crime and prohibition are very heated and serious problems or topics depending on which way you look at it. There are many different points of view on this topic, so we tried to be unbiased as we wrote this informative article. This law called prohibition may be the most controversial and ignored law to come about in our country yet. Many people are balled up and just don’t understand the law, while many did understand it but broke it anyway. There are thousands of speakeasies in every big city and many bootleggers who keep these businesses running by supplying the alcohol. Due to this law the crime rate has increased dramatically and now there are violent gangs and mob bosses in America’s large cities. We hope you enjoy our article on crime and prohibition and come away from it with a better understanding of the topic. Sincerely, Cole Mabry
We discussed what the feature topic would be heavily. We thought about which topic would draw the most attention and which would have the most controversy. A lot of people have strong beliefs about this topic. We think that this kind of stuff makes the best articles. We also thought that this topic had plenty of things to talk about. For example we talked about the thousands of illegal speakeasies that people can visit anytime. The gangs and mobsters such as Al Capone that made a business of of manufacturing and smuggling alcohol. The last thing is the thoughts of the wets and drys the had strong opinions about the topic. We hope that you learned a lot out of the feature article. We think that this is a very important thing that is happening in our society today, and that everybody should gain knowledge of the subject. Sincerely, Mitchell Pottratz

Letters to the Editor Dear Editors, I strongly agree with you article on the scopes trial. John T. Scopes was teaching what he was required to teach. He said he does not remember teaching the theory of evolution but he does remember going over the evolution chart. As a teacher he does what is required by the state to get payed and feed his family. But he permanently incriminated himself so that the case could have a defendant. The theory of evolution should be taught in schools around the nation. Evolution isn't inconsistent with religion. John T. Scopes shouldn't have been fined $100 for doing what is required by the state even though he might have gone a little over board. Clarence Dabrow was doing what was right and defending Mr. Scopes. His fine should be taken away. Thanks again. Sincerely, Brendan Mott
AP Images, The Scopes Trial
Dear Editors, I can’t believe John Scopes had the courage to teach the theory of evolution in a school of the next generation. The theory of evolution is false and schools should not teach the theory of evolution because it contradicts the bible, and the bible is the foundation of our governments. Our bible states human beings and all other life forms were created by god in a series of six days. William Jennings Bryan represented us Christians well. July 15 was the day everybody knew was coming, the Butler act was ruled constitutional and John scopes was given a guilty verdict. The butler act states that the theory of evolution can't be taught. Thank the lord that some states are even going to the point of passing their own laws which we should do at the federal level. The laws should be say that the theory of evolution should not be taught at school. The textbook publishers are taking the right steps by deleting all content on the theory. It's only a theory too, it's not a fact. Thank you for publishing this in your newspaper. Sincerely, Zach Albright
Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, I really enjoyed your article on prohibition. I thought it was very insightful. I agreed with your perspective all the way through. On January 16th, 1920 this great law was established. Why is everybody making such a big fuss? These men and women should not be spending so much time and money in bars. Women are starting to get very upset because men are spending too much of their income on alcohol. They are running out of money for their families. Alcohol also takes time away from their families because they spend way too much time at the bar. I really liked what you had to say about the American Temperance Society. I was very intrigued by how they tried to recreate the bible so it had no reference to alcohol. I also did not know that people were going to work in the factories while drunk. I did not realize how big of a part alcohol is in these people's lives. I believe that this amendment is very important because without it we would have many problems. what if people start driving drunk in their automobiles? That could potentially lose a lot of lives for innocent people. Thank you again for writing such a good article on prohibition. I completely agree with your point of view. Sincerely, Patrick McCaffery
AP Images Alcohol being destroyed
Dear Editors, I was very impressed by your article on prohibition. I think that it honestly shares both sides of the topic. Personally I disagree with the act of prohibition because I don't believe that any government or group of individuals can tell us what we can and cannot drink. I agree with The Volstead act because I know that there are many young men coming back from the war that are using alcohol as a supplement for their stress disorders. I think that if they fought on our country's behalf, then they should be able to have an alcoholic beverage to drink and that no man in that big old, white house can tell them any different. I think that if some of America's workers choose to spend some of their pay on a drink after a hard day's work then they should be allowed to! They say that too much of this alcohol can make a person make bad decisions. If this is true which I believe it may be then the real men in charge of this nation need to stop sipping on scotch. This country was founded on people who had dreams of starting new lives so that no government could tell them what they can and cannot do, yet our citizens sit back and watch as our government does exactly that. Just yesterday I went into the city to one of my favorite bars to listen to the Yankees game on the radio. As I sat there quietly I realized that the bar I was in was just like any other restaurant I had ever been to. The only difference was the product that was sold. As I made small talk with the bar owner, he told me about how he'd used to run a speakeasy out of his apartment and how the money he earned helped him support his family after the crash in the market. He said that if it hadn't been for beer and whiskey, he wouldn't be where he was today. Sincerely, Jack Davenport

Letters to the Editor
Dear editor,
Dear editor,
I strongly agree with your article on people keeping their rural lifestyle instead of moving to the city like the rest of the bandwagon. Less and less families are still living on farms due to the drop in prices of crops and and the hard work and rough lifestyle required to live on a farm. With life in the cities becoming more and more appealing due to jobs in factories and more opportunities in large corporations that pay tons of dough, many think it’s just the bee’s knees. The entertainment and "fun life" that come with living in the city does not match to keeping the tradition of our ancestors and farming God's land. Those city slickers cannot live without their radios and tv's and electricity. Those of us that are rural people must work very hard and be very touch just to make a living. We are taught traditionalist moral values and uphold those throughout our whole life. Tall buildings and bright signs and advertisements around every corner will never out due the great outdoors, cornfields, rolling hills, and beautiful forests of rural America. Thinking that more than half the population live in urban areas now just gives me the heeble-jeebles.
In the article “Youth vs Adult,” I have completely sided with the youth. I believe that adults should let kids choose what they want to, and stop telling them what YOU want them to do. Do we really want our kids to act as robots? Listening exactly to every command we tell them. That’s right, i didn’t think so.
Sincerely, Cole Mabry
I also think that people need to let women do what they want. It is okay if they don’t want to be a stay at home mom and clean all day. They should be able to go out and find a job if they want to. Women who call themselves “flappers” need to stop being criticized. They are just trying to express themselves. Also I don’t think it’s hurting any of the guys if women look good. Sincerely, Mitchell Pottratz

Politics in the 1920’s 3 presidents in the 1820’s
The 1920s is suffering through 3 undistinguished leaders. Warren G. Harding has failed every measure by which a successful president is evaluated on. He is known as the man of limited abilities. Harding ran for governor of Ohio and was thrashed. 2 years later, he got a senatorial seat in Washington. He was also the president during the teapot dome scandal. The second president was Calvin Coolidge or silent cal. He believed the best government was the one governed the least. He is very quiet and often took 4-5 hour naps everyday. He spent a lot of alone time. He didn’t go deep into foreign affairs and avoided all manner of problems. He got blamed for the stock market crash. The last president was Herbert Hoover from Iowa. He is a rich intelligent man unlike Calvin, he is very enthusiastic. Won in the 1928 race. He isn’t trying to ward off the depression too severe. He has also passed the Agricultural Marketing Act in April.
Teapot dome scandal
Stocks were being bought and were rising greatly. investors purchased large volumes of stocks in the 1920s. The center of the stock market stood on Wall Street. Shares bought and sold rose from 451 million to 1.1 billion. Nearly 6.1 million shares changed hands. On Wednesday October 23rd, thousands of small investors were wiped out. In one day, people failed to failed to replace their share of 4.1 billion dollars in paper losses. Prices dropped 5,10, even 15 points a minute.People were frantically trying to sell their stocks. On Tuesday, October 28 the stock market crashes. Also the Teapot Dome Scandal was a big thing around the nation. President Harding turned over his oil field to the “Ohio Gang.” After that 2 big oil companies bribed the gang with $360,000. All they had to do is give lease the reserves to the companies.
World There was a lot was happening around the world when the 1920s began. The United States was going into war debt because no country was agreeing to pay the money they owe to the U.S. The U.S. came out with the Dawes plan, this restructured German payments, these payments amounted to 3.9 billion. Countries not paying the U. S. was one of the main causes of the 1929 Wall street crash. The U.S. is heavily involved in Latin America. The Monroe doctrine stated any attack on Latin America was a direct attack on the United States. The U.S. has started using the Doctrine as an excuse for intervention in Latin America. Latin America does not like that the United States is intervening so much. The U.S. is trying to block any European influence from reaching Latin America. Post world war 1 the Germans have now destroyed 3 million homes. The Germans also have ruined millions of acres of farmland and killed a lot of livestock. Post war, Russia has invaded Poland and the German Kaiser departed, following that a new socialist government has been formed in Germany. Uprisings have also followed the war. Finland’s revolution has been crashed by their government. France is determined to make Germany pay in every way possible. The communist party was founded and out of all the affected countries Britain was the most stable. The U.S. has failed to join the league of nations. The league of nations said that peaceful steps should be taken to settle disputes, not violence. This is completely ineffective in theory, it failed to establish means of any enforcement. The senate rejected the Treaty of Versailles. This was one of the many peace treaties. President Wilson’s extreme position received a lot of criticism. His dream of having the the treaty signed has died after the senate turned it down. treaty signed died after being rejected by the senate.

prohibition act is a big argument point

Life in the 1920’s
The United States is filled with many great things such as the automobile, the lie detector, the hair dryer, the liquid-fueled rocket, and even Kool-Aid! However the people of this time are not always happy. Many different races and cultures were discriminated against and people were not always equal. Policies like Nativism favored the rights of native born Americans over that of immigrants. Many people believed in these policies and in 1921, The Emergency Immigration Act was created. This made it hard for immigrants to come to the United States, it said that only 375,000 immigrants were allowed into the US annually. In 1924, policies became even more strict when the Immigration Act of 1924 was passed. This act reduced the number of immigrants allowed into the US annually from 375,000 to 164,000. Even many US citizens are not safe in their own homes. In 1915, The KKK, or the Ku Klux Klan, started up again in Georgia. The KKK hates all African Americans, Catholics, Jews, and immigrants. The KKK is led by a man named William Joseph Simmons. Simmons is known for his strange beliefs and cruelty to his so called enemies. The Klan often attacks people at night, striking fear into their lives and burning down their homes. Lynching people, burning crosses, whipping their captives are now all know the more common across the country. The Klan is also known to occasionally murder their victims.
Ku Klux Klan members burning a cross in 1920 Even African Americans experience extreme hatred. Though slavery is now illegal in all states, African Americans coming back from the war are still having very hard times finding jobs. Both men and women are being attacked by the clan for the color of their skin. The KKK lynched 70 African Americans in 1919 alone. The Chicago riots of 1919 were caused when an African American male swam too close to a group whites in a lake and was murdered. Asian immigrants were also discriminated against. In a few states, Asians were barred from becoming US citizens and in some states from owning land. In some cases, Asian immigrants would not be able to find jobs to support their families. Religious groups such a Catholics and Jews were also targets of discrimination. Rumors about Catholics told that Catholic beliefs and leadership would tear apart the nation.The introduction of 2.4 million Jewish immigrants from eastern Europe made people who were, anti-semitism, or prejudice against Jews very upset. To help solve this problem, the AntiDefamation League, or ADL was created to stop the false accusation of Jewish people.
Economy- mitchell
The Economy is changing a lot. Us Americans are consumers. People are urging us to keep on spending our money. The newest and easiest way of buying things is with credit. Credit is very useful because we can buy stuff now and end up paying later. We are seeing a lot more advertising lately. They are becoming a lot more appealing to the eye, and they are showing up in more places like magazines, newspapers, and the radio. A weird way they are advertising is that some companies are having it rain coupons from small planes. It is getting a lot easier to manufacture cars nowadays. The price of a car used to be $950 and not it is only $350. The assembly line system has helped the price of cars drop a ton, it's so cheap that almost everyone has one.
Cars have also sparked a lot of other industries. Other industries like rubber, steel, and oil have boomed lately. The Auto industry has also created millions of jobs for Americans. Highway constructions industries have also been happy with the auto industry. They have been working overtime to make more roads, wider roads, and so we have more paved roads.

Prohibition Prohibition is a law that says that you are not allowed to sell, transport, and produce alcohol. The 18th Amendment banned these things. The 18th Amendment is supposed to prevent alcohol from ruining careers and marriages. Most men are losing all their money due to excess drinking and gambling. Saloons are becoming a meeting place for illegal activities after the 18th amendment was ratified. There are two perspectives to this amendment. Prohibition is positively affecting Americans because Less people are losing their money because less workers are going to salons to spend their pay. They are spending more time with their families.The dry perspective is that alcohol causes violence, crimes, and the breakups of families. The dry perspective is that banning alcohol would result in a healthier and happier life. They also think city life would be more calm. Most of the people who are dry’s are people who did not live in big cities, so it did not affect them as much. The wets perspective is that alcohol should be legal. Most of the people who think it should be legal are people that live in big cities and have a night live.
This conflict is resulting in a lot of gang activity and smuggling. People are still finding ways to smuggle alcohol into the United States. Gang’s have ways to manufacture alcohol, and they are beginning to create illegal saloons and bars. Al Capone is one of the biggest alcohol smugglers and manufacturers. He controls all the bootlegging in the city of Chicago (which is also known as alcohol trade). Many people considered bootlegging ok, because people think of it as a business.
Crime
Gangster, with a Tommy Gun
Since the prohibitions act there has been a lot of criminal activity. A lot of the crimes have been about manufacturing alcohol and smuggling alcohol. It was very difficult to catch these criminals The police are having to change a lot and quickly. One of the best police agents is Elliot Ness. He is a huge help by having huge alcohol bust in the time of this prohibition. He and his team are greatly damaging the operation of Al Capone and other big gangsters and mobs.
Other things that he accomplished was he was the head of an elite Squad that is going after racketeers and illegal liquor trade. He is also the youngest man to ever hold the post of safety director.
His team is called the “Untouchables� because he have the best police team out there and they have a lot of successful bust. The most successful mission he and his team had was when they put Al Capone in jail

Entertainment of the Roaring Twenties! This decade was one to remember for someone who likes to have fun. Life started to be more about having fun. Jazz inspired new dancing and a new lively fun lifestyle to go along with it. This dancing was considered evil by some, but to many it was the bee's knees. European and African traditions collided to make this new music. Jazz is very popular with almost all Americans especially African Americans and in big cities. Bessie Smith laid the foundation and Duke Ellington became a big star, but you cannot talk about jazz without mentioning “The Jazz Singer” Al Jolson. Radio and TV also
The Rainier Theatre
became huge in this time. By 1922 600 radio stations existed and 60% of America had radios. Programs were created for specific types of people who liked and cared about different things. Television (also known as TV) made its appearance in this decade too. Movie theatres were becoming part of everyday life for many Americans. Over 800 movies on average were made each year. Music, color, and sound made movies all the more berries to go to. The Jazz Singer was the first movie to have sound, these were called “talkies” because of their sound. Plays and shows became very popular during this time also, many people went to see jazz orchestras, Broadway musicals, and shows of all sorts. The show Shuffle Along was the first all black Broadway show. When Americans weren’t going to a movie or show or sporting event of some kind, other forms of entertainment included writing and reading, art, and going on long drives with their machines. This decade was sure one fun one to be around in!
sports- patrick
Did you know that the US has spent more money on sports and other leisure activities than ever before? Sports is turning into a huge business. Babe Ruth made $80,000 last year!! That is unheard of! With teams making their stadiums bigger and being able to seat more people sports are becoming the bees knees. If you are good at sports you are a media superstar. Most household names include Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. This article is going to be about all sports things going on in the 1920’s, you want to be apart of “The Golden Age of Sports”. The first sport I am going to talk about is baseball. They are putting teams in all of the biggest markets so they are drawing massive crowds. They made massive additions to the stadiums to draw bigger crowds. Mostly all the teams are in the northeast, but then in addition there are two teams in the big markets in the midwest. “The Lively Era” is a correct term for this sport, in most people’s opinions, baseball is the best sport right now.
Babe Ruth ready to go up to the the plate and hit another home run.
The next sport that I will talk about is basketball. For only being invented in 1891 by James Naismith, the sport is catching on quick. Thanks to Mr. Naismith, we now have a game we can play inside in the winter. It is being dominated by the Boston Celtics. Basketball is also one of the first sports to let blacks play exclusively. Other sports that are starting to catch on right now are football and obviously all the olympic events. Red Grange is taking over the gridiron and nobody can seem to catch Paavo Nurmi on the track. This is what is going on in the sports of the 1920’s.
Youth vs Adult
The changing of youth culture is very scary for many adults. The adults do not like how the youth are developing their own ways of speaking and behaving. The youth are also becoming more engaged in activities, and have more and more free time. Women are making a huge change also. Homes are beginning to have more labor saving devices, which means women have more free time. A lot of women are taking advantage of this free time and are starting to work. Even though women are beginning to work, most of them still did not work full time, so they have a lot of time to have fun. A New type of women are being introduced. These women are called flappers. These women are breaking the tradition from other women. Society is not viewing women the same way.
They are thought of as being dependent, and showing behaviors such as; smoking, drinking, and showing public affection. Flappers fashion is quite unique too. They cut their hair short. They have shorter dresses than ever before. Lastly they have loose fit garments. Flappers
