All of these things fall within the general category of Progressivism, except laissez-faire, which progressives opposed by advocating increased government regulation and creating the Federal Trade Commission.

Prohibition.
It fits the time period and the goals of the progressives.
Conservation was under Roosevelt.
Laissez-faire is more a philosophy than an act.
Settlement houses, I'm not the most familiar with.
