After Mrs Jobson had traced the
development of prohibition sentiment
tn Richmond and in Virginia tor the
last thirty three years, she gloried in
the victory won September 22 last over
the saloon in Virginia and appealed
to her hearers for their moral sup
port in securing the rigid enforcement
of prohibition laws in the State.
Mrs Jobson also spoke of the work
going forward for national prOhibitiO
and predicted that nationwide prohi-
bition viii be- realized by 1920. She
referred to the recent moral victory
won in Congress when the House gave
a ma jority for a prohibition constitu-

to do more OF their buying of these

Does Not Settle Controversy.
1t is admitted here that the note OF
Great Britain does not settle much Of
anything about the controversy be-
tween the two governments. but II is
likewise pointed out that the American
note was not itself much more spe-
cific in its demands than Is the Brit
ish note In Its response. II Ia con-
coded. however, that the correspond
ence has shown the two governments
not far apart as to principles or poll
cies but merely differing over the de-
gree OF justification for the British
practices and the methods by which
the British policy has been executed.
No reason Is seen here why all mat
ters pertaining to the controversy
should not be satisfactorily adjusted
without serious difficulty.
