Excerpt: “The strange phenomenon of Prohibition, after an appearance amongst us of over three years, is still non-understandable to the majority of a great, and so-called free, people. It is one of the most astonishing manifestations the world has ever witnessed. It came upon us like a phantom, swiftly; like a thief in the night, taking us by surprise. Yet the Prohibitionists will tell you that no one should be amazed, since for years—for almost a century—quiet forces have been at work to bring about this very thing. Most of us can remember how, not so many years ago, when we wished to throw away our vote, we cast it for the Prohibition ticket. Some unknown “crank” was running for office on a dry platform. “What a joke,” we said, “to give him the weight of our affirmation, to enlarge his pitiful handful of white ballots! It will be a good way to get even with the arrogant Mr. So-and-So. And into the box we laughingly dropped the bit of paper which might cause a mention to be made of the crank in the next morning’s news columns. Delightful, insincere flattery, which could not possibly do any harm. How well, how thoroughly, how consistently we gave it, never dreaming that the solemn hour would strike when our gesture would no longer be a joke.'.

Towne (1877-1949) was an American author, poet, editor and popular New York celebrity who had moved to that city from Kentucky with his family aged three. From 1901 he held various positions at the Smart Set, a new magazine for a sophisticated urban readership, becoming editor in 1904. This was the first of many important magazines he was to edit, including McClure's (1914-20) and Harper's Bazaar (1926-39). In addition to his editorial duties, Towne was a prolific writer, publishing many volumes of poetry, novels, plays, travel essays, memoirs and lyrics for musicals and operettas. Much of his work celebrates New York City and he was considered by many the quintessential New Yorker. From 1931-37 he wrote a column for the New York American, taught a poetry course at Columbia,and then in 1940 joined the touring company of the Broadway hit Life With Father. In 1945 he summed up his career with his autobiography, So Far, So Good. This work, subtitled The Human Side of What the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act Have Done to the United States, was first published in 1923, with two of its chapters having previously appeared as articles in the New York Times.
