Who was responsible for the condi-
tions that prevailed before the report
of the Vice Nsefhmission? II the COM
mittee will place that responsibility
officially, as it has already been placed
in the public mind. it will have per-
formed a great public service. If
1t does not place that responsibility
ii will not only have done little good,
but will have done much harm. II
will have done harm In making easy
in the future the violation OF the law
with impunity by men in high posi-
ton. The damage that such a report
might do TO Richmond cannot be over
estimated. Such "a failure on the part
of the committee would almost neces-
sariIy mean a relaxing of tlba war on
vice that has accomplished so much,
for it would mean the failure of the
city To condemn lawlessness, or, in
pAiNi WIN IL Npuih EtNC lflG
consent OF the city to lawlessness and
crime,
| We have gone long way towards
cleaning up Richmond. There lis a
/ long way still to go, VIII this COM
/ mittee place responsibility for what
/ Richmond has endured or will 1t de-
vote itself to minor matters?
It cannot be doubted that grea,
progress has been made by the en-
forcement of the law. The Chief OF
Police, who is put down as favoring
segregation as the best means of con-
trolling vice, in an Official report de-
clares that conditions now in the old
segregated district are the best he
/ has known in twenty-seven years OF
service. That testimony alone should
move the committee to a definite
declaration as TO who was responsible
for the violation of the law in tht
past. Who restrained the force from
performing its duty?
Men charged with the enforcement
of law, as are the members of the
police board, can by no conception
Of duty or right be denominated fl
TO hold office when by their own con-
4 fession they have violated the Law
they were supposed to enforce. Mem,
bers of the Richmond police board
now on trial have not only been shown
to have violated the law, but have
pleaded guilty to such violation. Nc
man can contend with reason that ar
official whose private practices engage
him in the company of criminals II

force is worthy TO hold public Office

John BarIeycorn.

John Barleycorn is a liar In his
ceaseiess battle for death. hell and
the grave, one of his favorite lies Is
the assertion that more whiskey il
drunk in dry territory than In the
domain of the open saloon. His con-
slant repetition of this fabrication is
kind of a nerve-bracer for him as
he sees his malign power successfully
attacked and curtailed In the enlight-
ened communities of the world. He
thoroughly understands that it is
lie of the whole cloth but he cannot
flourish on the truth--and like the
liar that he is, he dies hard.
John Barleycorn is a thief He steals
from a plodding wife, and from tho
children of her home. the music and
the flowers and the pictures that
might have been theirs in order to
furnish the money to feed the con-
Stunning lust for drink of some man
| in whom he has planted the seed of
consummate selfishness. He has rob-
bed many a boy and girl of an edu-
cation. He has stolen from the do
/ nestle hearthstone more of happi-
ness and of peace than all the other
bands of moral burglars combined.
He is in league with the thieves of
lust and gambling and vice, and he
robs the home to replenish the in
sane asylum. the hospital. the peni-
Tertiary and the cemetery. He is a
Viking bold, whose cheeks are never
mantled with the blush of shame.
He is a loafer in the market-places of

Seldom, If ever, in the history of
Richmond has a body of official char
acier been charged with so important
a task as that which confronts the
Council committee investigating vice
conditions in Richmond. The public
hearings of the committee have come
to an end, and after delay longer
than seemed necessary TO the average
citizen. the committee Is formulating
it's report. Because that report will
mean SO much for the future good or
Interested in it's nature and contents.
The city has right 10 expect some
valuable and constructive recommen-
dations for the future. The city also
expects, with equal Justice. that re-
sponsibility for the non-enforcement
of the law in the past be placed where
II properly belongs.
Someone eyidentiys prevented the
law from being enforced. Someone
maintained commercialized vice in
power in this city. Who was it?
The law is plain. II declares that
vice must be suppressed. 1T appoints
officers to suppress vice. But vice in
Richmond was not suppressed. 1t
fiourished as the green bay tree. 1t
festered in open shame In the segre-
gated district and was covered with
a thin shade of secrecy outside that
district. but IL was here among us by
the consent of the officials whose duty
IT was to combat vice. Then came the
night of The Virglrian against the
open violation of the law. We de-
clared that the law was not enforced
and demanded action. The Vice Com
missions report was the next step,
1t also proved that the law was not
enforced, and on the basis of the reve-
lations made in that report as TO gen
eral conditions Of nnrestrained vice
and specific violations by members OF
the police board of the law Hney were
supposed to enforce an investigation
was undertaken.
In that investigation every substan-
tial point made by The Nirginian and
the Vice Commission was suhstand-
ated. The vital Issue at stake was
the enforcement of the law side
issues dealt with difficulties of enforc'
ing it. II seems TO be the impression
OF the public that the committee, be-
fore which the main issue and the
side issues were bots, proven, will per-
haps ignore the main issue and de-
vote itself TO q report on the side
issues. with recommendations for
minor changes. but failing TO place re-
sponsibinty for the great outstanding
fact THAT the law was not enforced
and. that someone responsible for
its not being enforced.

PEOPLES FORUM.
should Publish Cards in vIrsinian.


Editor virginian:
Sir,--May l not make a suggestion
for the guidance OF temperance voters
and temperance. candidates in Vir-
gia? That is, that all men who are
honestly dry" publish their cards
in The Virginian, SO that the tenn
perance voters may have before them
the claims of dry candidates.
The Virginian Is our own paper.
II is the organ of temperance con-
yiction in the State of Virginia in a
high and peculiar sense. Reading a
mans card there would be a guide
to thousands of our people who read
The Virginian to the exclusion of the
wet organs of the State. The Vir
gilman circuiates very widely in the
State, and I believe it is taken by
all the people who are really and
sincerely dry. II they do not take 1t
they certainly do not give practical
evidence of their dryness. We must
support our own paper, for most as
suredly the wet people will not sup
port IL for US
Let the honestly dry candidates for
Office in Virginia publish their cards
in The Virginian so that the honestly
dry people who take our great pa
per may see their claims.
Your friend,
