In this volume of his Free Lance columns, H. L. Mencken continues to address political, social, and literary issues confronting his native city, his country, and the world. He takes aim at the vice crusade, boldly recommending quasi-legalization of prostitution as a safety measure. He once again criticizes many American cities, including Baltimore, for failing to stem outbreaks of typhoid. He finds much merit in Theodore Dreiser's new novel, The Financier. And he relentlessly attacks the preachers, do-gooders, and other moral crusaders who think that a utopia will be ushered in if only we banish cigarettes, liquor, and other objects of their wrath. Throughout these columns, Mencken uses the sharp weapons of humor, satire, and parody to score his points-and to amuse his readers.
