Missouri never enacted prohibition but rejected it statewide. When prohibition finally was imposed on Missouri in 1919 by the 18th Amendment, Kansas City kept the bars open and liquor flowing, and Kansas City's federal prosecutor never brought about a single felony prosecution.
An editorial writer in the Omaha Herald remarked, "If you want to see some sin, forget about Paris. Go to Kansas City."
