Excerpt from World Book of Temperance: Temperance Lessons, Biblical, Historical, Scientific

The temperance organizations are only volunteer scouting parties, whose plucky skirmishes have delayed, but have not stayed the onward march of intemperance and its allies. During the last half cen tury, in which more temperance societies have been organized in the United States than in all other countries and centuries, the consumption of liquors has advanced every year, except during financial panics, until from four gallons per capita in 1844 it was twenty-three in 1907.
