About the author

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_...

From Wikipedia entry: Ernest Hurst Cherrington (November 24, 1877 – March 13, 1950) was a leading temperance journalist. He became active in the Anti-Saloon League and was appointed editor of the organization's publishing house, the American Issue Publishing Company. He edited and contributed to the writing of The Standard Encyclopedia of the Alcohol Problem, a comprehensive six-volume work. In addition, he was active in establishing the World League Against Alcoholism.

Cherrington favored education over the coercive use of force to bring about Prohibition and sobriety, a position in direct opposition to that of Anti-Saloon leader Wayne Wheeler. Following a number of name changes, the league is now the American Council on Alcohol Problems.

Cherrington remained active in temperance activities until shortly before his death in 1950.
