An old woman labeled “Prohibition,” holding an umbrella labeled “Intolerance,” stands between two sluices that power waterwheels. She is holding a board in the shape of the U.S. Capitol labeled “Politics” in one sluice, blocking the water to the waterwheel on the right, which has paddles labeled “Good fellowship, Recreation, Temperance, Discipline, [and] Health” and runs past “The Closed Canteen.” On the left, water labeled “U.S. Army” flows through the sluice and over a waterwheel with paddles labeled “Drunkenness, Immorality, Disorder, Vice, Disease, [and] Gambling” that runs past “The Blind Tiger” and “The Open Dive,” where a man labeled “Divekeeper” is carrying a bag of “The Grist of Vice.” Puck calls Prohibition’s attention to the problems resulting from closed canteens. Caption: Puck (to Prohibition) — Look around: See whom you benefit while you keep that sluice-gate shut!
