Letter From the Editor Dear Readers, Our feature article is about the 1920’s and prohibition. We gave the perspectives on the controversial topic and hoped that you would find some aid from our article in choosing what side you are on.

We also wanted to give you an update on what is happening with this current law, if you live out rurally. For our team of writers, this article was quite the process.

We talked about the eighteenth amendment, the Volstead Act, and how all these good intentions turned into violence, because a few smart men wanted to make a few smart bucks.

On our team, each of us had something to research. They all worked hard to get the job done right, and on time. Once we were all done researching, one of our editors and layout directors put all the information together. Our graphic designer also aided us so that we could get the job done quickly and efficiently.

But we couldn’t have pulled it off without the help of our whole team.

Each one of them always listens to the thoughts of others, and really works hard to get the article written and published.

Thanks team for all your hard work,

We went into depth about each perspective of the controversy, wets versus drys. Each of them have solid points and I almost wouldn’t be able to choose which one I felt more biased towards. But the St. Valentines Massacre did happen, and it has hit the news and rocked the nation.

Letter from the Editor Dear Readers, This issue's feature article is about prohibition and the effects of it.

It is also about the crimes caused by prohibition. It will talk about the 18th Amendment, and the sections of it. It will also talk about the two sides people take about prohibition, those who support it (drys) and those who are against it (wets). It will also talk about the crimes of prohibition and how the law can become corrupted with the influence of gangs.

We felt that we needed to address this issue, because people are breaking the law. There are gangs running around and controlling everything. Police and politicians are being corrupted. Alcohol is being sold in our country even though it is illegal here. Gangs are being allowed to do whatever they want.

Our reporters researched this topic. We all researched different parts of the article. We hope you learned something about crime and prohibition from our feature article about this topic.

Sincerely, Ruby Garla (Anna Steib)

Dear Editor, The wildness of our youth today bleakens our future of staying such an independent and strong country. Most of them are dewdroppers, four-fluffers, and don’t work nearly as much as they could. Their clothing styles are rather distasteful, and show far too much skin. The other day, I saw a woman with her skirt to her knees, and her dress had slits so you could see her shoulders. Quite distasteful indeed, and they look almost boyish. Women in my day were proud to be who they are, and were confident enough in themselves that they needn’t show off skin to earn a man’s charm.

The automobile is as untrustful as it is smelly. My daughters went out the other day on another of their silly outings, and the car broke down halfway. They could have been at home, learning their arithmetic and writing, but they had to find trouble. The women also smoke and drink in public, which is extremely unattractive, and my husband agrees with me. Women may not be weak as men seem to think, but when they submit to such foul habits, they submit to weakness.

The courting that I dreamed about when I was young has now turned into a reckless thing they call dating. They find a man they half-know and “fall in love” as they put it, but I know they just want a man beside them to rebel against us, the older generation. It’s not really love they have come across, but a new excitement that will die down as a fire grows cold. Their man will leave them, and they won’t give it another thought, they’ll just find the next excitement. For me, and most of my generation, well we found the man just perfect for us after searching long and hard. We settled down, had a family, and we’ re still happily married, those girls will have a different experience.

Sincerely, Jean Fallon (Kristina Rosebrook)

Dear Editor, I believe that prohibition does nothing to help society. It is as helpful as a dewdropper. After the 18th Amendment was passed, the amount of whiskey drinkers had increased and illegal drinking establishments have reached about 100,000 after the law was passed. Alcohol creates business for people, entertainment, and maybe a source of connection or happiness among people. Speakeasies are the cat’s pajamas and where sharpshooters go to drink laps and give their knees to their goof! Did you know that the mayor of New York enjoys speakeasies? Crazy isn’t it!

Anyway, alcohol is a great source of entertainment but is also a great source of crime.

Racketeers and gangsters compete for business and that often results in violence. Al Capone is a very successful and feared man that is well known throughout the alcohol business. He likes to scare out his competition, but don’t tell him I said that. If only he and the government knew that many people brew their own alcohol in their bathtubs using stills and average foods such as raisins, prunes, apples, and potatoes. All in all, people still figure out ways to consume alcohol so why bother banning it?

Sincerely, Mildred Razner (Kassidy Putchio) Dear Editor, Your article regarding rural versus urban life was, in my opinion, completely inaccurate. I do not understand how living on a farm is a desirable way of life. The city has endless opportunities. By living on a farm, you may be keeping in touch with the way America used to be, but now there are so many new innovations. The city has automobiles, jazz, and spectator sports. Women get to express themselves with fashion, makeup, and attitude. Women also have a lot more job opportunities in the city.

Don’t people who live in rural areas want to expand their horizons? They should live a little. In fact, they haven’t lived if they’ve never seen Babe Ruth hit a homerun. Sure, they’re used to the traditional American lifestyle, but I guarantee- one day in the city, and they will never want to go back to their muddy, outdated rural lives.

Sincerely, Anna Weckerlin

Dear Editor, I strongly agree with you about creationism, the belief that god created the universe as described in the bible. I am a traditionalist but I don't agree with how the government handled the subject. The government has started to take away our freedom of religion and freedom of speech which is the first amendment. It states Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

For example, on May 13 1925, Florida passed a law requiring daily bible reading in public schools as well as in Texas. The text board prohibits discussion of the Theory of Evolution in its school textbooks. These states are taking away are first amendment by requiring students to read daily bible reading because not everyone believes in christianity or in the bible or even in god so by forcing students to read from the bible is taking away citizens rights of freedom of religion.

The government is also taking away our freedom of speech as shown in the trial of John T. Scopes. The Scopes was about a Tennessee science teacher who was fined one-hundred dollars because he was teaching the Theory of Evolution in his class. If I express my opinion in what I believe, will I also be fined one-hundred dollars? To sum it all up the government is taking away our freedom of religion and now our freedom of speech. At the rate the government is going, it’s eventually going to take all of our freedom that the constitution was built on. We'll all be gone and everything that America has fought for will be gone.

Sincerely, Fatima Kammona

Dear Editor, I can’t believe anyone would ever want to live in a rural community. Who would want to live on the farm when they could live in a big city? All that life on the farm has to offer is physical labor that begins before sunrise and ends only at sunset. The women who are responsible for looking after the house and family have to cook, clean, tend to domestic animals and tend to a vegetable garden every day. Rural life is boring as you can see and is the same thing every day. It is out of date and for old people, who like to knit and drink tea.

City life however has a lot more to offer like movie theatres. The theatres in the 1920s are huge and have an usher who leads you to your seat.

They play amazing movies with suspense, daring characters and always ripple laughter throughout the theatre. You can also enjoy dance halls which are basically a dance club where you hang out and dance to the newest and best songs. The foxtrot, waltz and the american tango are the bee’s knees.

Sincerely, Louise Flaske ( Charnea Burton)

Dear Editor, I agree with the new youth culture. During the war the older generation gave young lives away. So we should be able to do what we want to do. Flappers should be able to look masculine if they want to. The 19th Amendment did give women the right to vote. After the war, the women who had to work outside the home, refused to give up their social and economic independence.

The older generation might be worried about us and what could cause harm to us, but we can do what we want to do. Flappers can drink and smoke in public. They also can be more open about sex.

Sincerely, Anna Staib

Dear Editor, My perspective is on behalf of the drys.

There are some powerful men for prohibition such as Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, and Andrew Carnegie. We believe prohibiting the manufacture, sale, and transport of alcoholic beverages will help our nation.

The 18th Amendment has some positives.

First of which, the national consumption of alcohol is declining. Poor, working class groups are spending less of their daily income on their guilty pleasures at salons as well. Also there is a 50% decrease in the suicide rate today! The punishment for going against this Amendment is $1,000 or 30 days for first offence, $10,000 or a year for further convictions.

Even if you commit this heinous crime you have to deal with the conditions. There have been reports of dead rats in the stills and clumps of stuff you can't even recognize in the illegal alcohol. Is it truly worth it?

Sincerely, Rita Sawyer ( Jade Escher)

ENTERTAINMENT By: Louise Griffen (Charnea Burton)

The 1920s are the source of new, popular types of mass entertainment with movies, radios, and sports heros. Radios are a huge deal, they broadcast news, advertisements and entertainment. Now in, 1925, almost every home has a radio. Moving pictures are relatively new and attending the theatre is just the bee’s knees in entertainment. Clara Bow, Joan Crawford, Charlie Chaplin, and Rudolph Valentino, are film stars who have risen to become national celebrities.

Film is taking over the 1920s and one of the main stars, Charlie Chaplin, has been gaining popularity throughout the movie business. Silent films are an ideal medium for physical comedy. Hardy and Laurel films are one of the top silent films when it came to comedy.

They depend on on physical objects, an object to throw, fall over, or destroy. Their films are very controlled and structured.

Movies with sound are now played in theatres and have changed everything in the film industry. Two of the leading american film studios began to develop an interest in sound. Al Jolson improvised a line with dialogue in a silent movie that is when dialogue started to become in movies. Warner Bros, used the sound-on-disc system, they depend on sound reproducing music instead of a live performance. However, the system has been discarded because the system has too many problems. Fox has introduced sound-on-film which is favored. The first film to come out with this system was Don Juan.

Other than movies and their stars, you can also experience a variety of music today.

The music world has been wide open, making way for the popularization of genres like Jazz, Blues, Broadway, and Dance Bands.The foxtrot has been an extremely popular song and dance among our younger generation.

Jazz music has become extremely popular among the younger generation.

Southern African American musicians began moving up to Chicago to look for work and inspired the “harlem renaissance.” Jazz had a big impact on the roaring twenties. It influenced fashion, dances, youth culture, accepted moral standards, and race relations. Jazz was the first music by African Americans that whites actually accepted into their culture.

Sports have become an entrance for extreme fame and rowdy crowds. Audiences enjoy team sports, like baseball and football.

120,000 people came to see Jack Dempsey, a boxer, fight Gene Tunney. Jim Thorpe, a man with quite the athletic skills has gained olympic medals, and has played on several baseball teams. Another baseball player, Babe Ruth who plays for the New York Yankees, has set records and become one of the country’s most popular celebrities.

Our Modernized Entertainment Rita Sawyer (Jade Escher)

The entertainment that exists here today is so complex and mind blowing! We have the radio, films, new music, and dances!

and whites come together to make these great dances.

Radio, films, music, and the dance moves today are starting to put our two races together. This, is the future.

The radio today is very entertaining, CBS and NBC have been booming recently. Radio has also introduced us to Billboard Music Charts and Bing Crosby.

The short films today are super complex. Our top films are Metropolis, Nusferatu, Why Be Good, and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. You should watch them now!

Music has been daring and fun in the recent years. People have been using music for campaigns. They use the music to let you know about world problems, remember past memories, present tones, and inspirations for the future. It’s the “universal language” of today.

To go with today's jazzy music are some funky moves. Some new dances today are Charleston, Charleston Fox, the Trot, Waltz, Tango, and the Breakaway. Blacks

Spectator Sports why people are spending pennies in the 20’s Anna weckerlin

Spectator sports are gaining popularity.

People can go to baseball games, basketball games, boxing matches and more. Keep reading to find out all about ‘em.

Reporter: Have you ever been to a spectator sport?

Charles Shirley: Sure have, I had a swell time alright. I love baseball, my friend even knows Babe Ruth!

Reporter: Are you a fan of Babe Ruth?

Charles Shirley: You bet I am! I heard he hit 54 home runs for the New York Yankees, and 29 for the Boston Red Sox.

Babe Ruth and his Baseball Card The Original Celtics are the first professional basketball team, established in 1922. With the players now guaranteed a straight salary, along with coaching and team practice, I may just sign up.

Reporter: Talk about an earful. But thanks for your time, Charles.

Charles Shirley: My pleasure, pal.

As you can tell from the interview, these sports are a big hit. There’s another league hittin’ home runs left and right, The Negro Leagues.

Not only men are playing sports nowadays, women are in on the action too. For instance, have you ever heard of Gertrude Ederle? She was the first woman to swim across the English channel. She swam so quickly, she beat the men’s record by two hours!

Because of the Jim Crow laws, African Americans are discouraged or even prohibited to play sports with whites. There is even something called, “The Negro World Series.”

Last but not least, boxing is at its peak.

Before World War 1, boxing was regarded as disreputable, but now people line up to see the latest match. Are YOU a fan of spectator sports?

Speaking of Jim Crow Laws, there’s another Jim in town. His name is Jim Furey, and he’s the manager of the Original Celtics.

Economy Anna Staib

Today cars are affordable and many people, especially in the urban areas, have automobiles. Cars can be built quickly and efficiently, thanks to Henry Ford and his assembly line. And as the auto industry boomed, so did the support industries.

Sellers realize that people are consumers. The feeling of “gotta have it”, is making people buy things.

Credit, has fueled this feeling, and allows people to buy things in the moment and pay later. Many people don’t listen to the warning that overspending or the misuse of credit buying could spell disaster.

classes to learn how to be one, but being a salesman is hard work.

In the past, advertising was factual, but now advertising begins to appeal to the public’s emotions. Advertising is everywhere, it’s in newspapers, magazines, billboards, on the radio, and even coupons rain down from airplanes.

Chain stores are a network of stores owned by one company, which are slowly gaining ground in the entrepreneur world. They have a wider selection of products than small family-owned businesses and can hire more service. They also have lower prices than small family-owned businesses, because they can buy more things in bulk.

Some advertisement is based on “snob appeal”, or a famous person telling how good the product is. Some advertisements play on the public’s fears, promises improvements on the body, offers mail-order lessons, or uses pictures of attractive women.

Our economy today is bustling and active with excitement. Women can do things they were never allowed to do before, products have been increased and improved, and Americans are happy with these new changes.

Shoppers are encouraged to buy by salesmen. Salesmanship is important for stores in order to sell their products. If a man wanted to learn how to be a salesman they could take 14

Society

Mildred Razner (Kassidy Putchio) Immigration has shaped the United States for many years. It has been so overwhelming that Congress decided to pass a law in 1921 that created a quota system which limited immigration.

1920 for the robbery of a factory and murder of two men. There was a major lack of evidence which had people worldwide wondering if they were found guilty only because of their nationality.

The quota was set to 3%. Many Americans, including Congress, believed that this would help reduce the amount of immigrants pooling into America, but it did not.

So, in 1924, Congress passed the National Origins Act which reduced the quota to 2%.

Many non-Protestant immigrants were highly affected. After the law was passed, Italian immigrants dropped from forty thousand to less than four thousand a year. Those lucky four thousand Italians usually grouped together.

Other immigrants also grouped together. Puerto Ricans and West Indians lived in Harlem, Armenians went to New York, and Sikhs from India and other Asians lived on the West Coast.

The Klu Klux Klan (or KKK) is a group of white, native-born, American Christian males that target the lives of African Americans, Jews, foreigners, radicals, and catholics. The Klan grew more and more power in the 1920’s and at the peak of its power, the Klan had over 4 million members in 48 states. The Klan grew more and more power in the 1920’s and at the peak of its power, the Klan had over 4 million members in 48 states. Yikes! There were six classes apart of the Klan; The promoters and organizers, Businessmen, Politicians, Preachers, Lovers of “horse play,” and Bootleggers, for protection. As you can see, the Klu Klux Klan was a well-oiled machine that whipped and lynched innocent people.

Another problem in America known worldwide was the trial of Sacco and Vanzetti. This was known as one of the biggest trials concerning society. Sacco and Vanzetti were Italian men arrested in

After the war, many problems have arisen, and one them has been labor unsettlement.

There have been many strikes across the country, and workers have been demanding better pay, working conditions, and better hours. There have been almost 3,600 strikes across the country, involving four million people. In Gary, Indiana, there was a national steelworkers strike, which resulted in eighteen workers being killed. Business have been ready to believe that the rebellion was directed by Vladimir Lenin, but we have learned this is not true.

World New Pacts, Plans, and Decision Making BY: Alice Kegly (Kristina Rosebrook)

That meant that Japan was unable to import vital raw materials, which created depression in Japan’s economy. This prolonged depression turned people to an authoritarian government with an expansionist military.

After WWI, Americans were distrustful of foreigners and wanted isolationism. The first sign of this was when Congress refused to ratify the Versailles Treaty.

During the war, German Americans were being discriminated against. German names for food were changed, and songs by German composers were no longer played.

There were other problems challenging the U.S. as well. Britain and France still owed huge sums of money to the U.S. and were struggling to pay it back. The Versailles Treaty imposed the entire cost of the war on Germany in the form of reparations. Russia refused to recognize czarist debts and the U. S. considered rescheduling the debts.

In the Red Scare of 1919, a drive was led

by Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer who rounded up 10,000 immigrants and a lot of them were expelled from the U.S.

The Dawes Plan came to pass in 1923 and solved a lot of issues. Private loans from the U.S. were given to Germany, who then could pay some reparations to The Allies.

Eventually some of the debts were paid back to the U.S, But some of the loans led to situations in which old debts were paid only through new ones. This was one of the factors that led to the Wall Street Crash of 1929.

Warren Harding’s secretary of state, Charles Hughes, was determined to change this and pursue a more vigorous foreign policy at the Washington Naval Conference. Japan and the U.S. had been in a naval race in the Pacific, when a group of nations came to an agreement. U.S, Great Britain, France, Japan, and Italy all agreed to scrap large parts of their navies.

They also agreed to respect each other’s territorial holdings, to not build any more fortifications, and to settle all future disputes peacefully.

There were just a few problems with the new agreements. One of the agreements was undercut by U.S. trade controls, which excluded Japan from exporting to the U.S. market.

President WArren G. Harding Fatima Kammona

“I don't know anything about European stuff. You and Jud get together and he can tell me later; he handles these matters for me.” That is exactly what Warren G. Harding said to Charles Evans Hughes who indeed made the foreign policy decisions for the president with Judson Welliver.

President Warren G Harding couldn't deal with problems across the ocean nor could he deal with problems back home. “ I can't make a damn thing out of these taxes problems. I listen to one side and see ‘em fight and then - God; I talk to other side and they seem just as right and here I am where I started.” It’s one thing not knowing how to handle foreign affairs it's another thing not knowing how to handle affairs in your home country.

Other than not knowing how to deal with foreign affairs and taxes problems president Harding was easily able to be manipulated especially by Forbes.

Forbes, was selling hospital supplies to private firms at a fraction of their price to the federal government. Harding had the sales temporally stopped intell Forbes convinced him that everything was in order.

Many had said that President Warren G. Harding would be the worst president yet elected in the United States. They weren't proven wrong. Harding was visibly depressed and often times would sit and stare out the windows lost in thoughts. President Harding died of coronary thrombosis which was incorrectly diagnosed as acute indigestion by Doctor Sawyer. The doctor was like all the other merely incompetent cronies, as Harding repeatedly asserted, “Good enough for me.”

Calvin Coolidge in the successor to president Harding. Coolidge has preside over one of the greatest fortune economic booms in the country's history as well as believed in material improvement and limited government were the normal conditions in American life.

Someone who has been very influential on American history would be Herbert Hoover. Hoover has been promoting business and encouraging what he calls associationalism, which involves bringing industry leaders together.

Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover have done an excellent job with the government and the economy. I applaud them for that but if I had one wish for the country it would be never to have a president like Warren G. Harding again.

Crime and Prohibition The 1920’s is all about different culture, changes in society, advancement in technology, and a booming economy. With all the changes, there were obviously problems along with them.

Prohibition was one of these changes.

The eighteenth amendment was ratified in 1920, but put into action in 1921. The eighteenth amendment banned the consumption, sales and manufacturing of alcohol. There are three sections in the amendment. Section one is the sale and shipment of alcohol. Section two is that Congress and several states have the power to enforce the sections. The last section, is that the article shall be inoperative unless it should be ratified as an amendment to the constitution.

The Volstead Act, a bill passed by Congress on January 17th, 1920 is an act that banned all beverages that contain more than 5% alcohol. The Volstead Act also bans beer and wine, and says that no one shall sell, purchase, manufacture, prescribe or transport alcohol without a permit to medically prescribe alcohol.

22

When a new law comes into act, there are always sides to be taken. When the eighteenth amendment was sprung onto American citizens, naturally, they took sides.

The prohibitionists or, “Drys”, say that the national consumption of alcohol has declined and fewer workers spent money on alcohol.

Protestant churches and congregations, and plenty of average citizens are a drys. They support prohibition, and started to advocate a national liquor ban. Their belief is that no drinking can lead to a happier, healthier, society. Drys argue that grain used for brewing beer and distilling hard liquor can be made into bread. This can better serve the war effort. By eliminating alcoholic beverages, the poor will be benefited because their paychecks will not be spent in a saloon.

The other viewpoint is from “wets.” However, every city has illegal drinking places, known as speakeasies. They are kept supplied through the trade known as bootlegging.

Because of bootlegging, the growth of gangs has rocketed upwards and they have made organizations of vices such as prostitution and gambling.

They were in small numbers at first, but when the law banning the consumption of alcohol went into effect, the numbers grew. Most wets are in large cities and immigrant communities. The Massachusetts Senator, David Walsh, argues that the first miracle performed by Jesus was that he turned water into wine.

Nowadays, anti-prohibitionists don’t care if alcohol is banned, they enjoy a drink any day they want. They buy alcoholic beverages distilled illegally and have alcohol smuggled into the United States. Sometimes, they brew their own bathtub gin. Wets believe that a law was in no position to tell them what they can or can not drink.

With the Prohibition Act came gangs, guns and violence. One of the famous massacres was the St. Valentine’s day Massacre. St. Valentine’s day Massacre was on February 14th, 1929, when a few of Al Capone’s men, who were dressed as police, killed seven men of Bugs Moran’s gang in cold blood. They told the seven men to turn around and put their hands against the wall.

Three of the Purple Gang from Detroit were also hired to help Al Capone’s gang with this killing. No one was ever brought to trial for the murders and Al Capone was in Florida at the time, so he said he couldn’t have planned it.

Thousands of ordinary citizens have been criminalized, simply by drinking what the youngins today call giggle water. Drinking is illegal, but everybody still partakes in a little drinking after a hard day of work. But where do they get the alcohol if it’s illegal?

Speakeasies of course, but where do the speakeasies get the alcohol, that’s the question.

Gangs have been organized in urban areas where they illegally are transported alcohol and sell it for a high price. They certainly roll in the dough, especially if they’re the only gang in the city. Al Capone, the leader of a top gang in Chicago has become so rich, he can pay off the Chicago mayor with three million dollars each year. Because they make so much money, they can pay off virtually anyone who wants a little extra cash in their wallet. From politicians to police, they can all become corrupted if you wave a couple hundred in their faces. We have been informed that coast guards have been paid off in Detroit to land rum. Customs service in Detroit have also been found to be taking bribes of two million to allow freedom for the gangs.

Prohibition is a controversial topic, and will always be. Whether or not it helps our country or really just makes all of our problems worse, well that’s your own opinion.

We state the facts for you to interpret in your own way, so that you can pick a side. The Prohibition Act has led to less drinking but also gangs and a little feeling of rebellion for those youngsters who choose to drink in speakeasies.
