IT DOES NOT PROHIBIT.
They strove with Prohibition For fifty years in Maine, But all the while kept selling stuff That burnt and charred the brain. At length, of such deception Dead weary, eager men Rushed to the polls and killed the fraud In 1910. They’re trying Prohibition In Memphis, Tennessee — Forced on them by outsiders who Would moral censors be; And yet to-day in Memphis (It makes “dry” hearers roar!) They have two hundred more saloons Than e’er they had before! Likewise in Chattanooga The farce goes on apace; In Alabama’s capital, And many another place; In Nashville and in Knoxville, Where “drys” are in full swing, State Prohibition never did Prohibit anything.
