Delegates returning to Richmond
from the National Anti-Saloon League
Convention at Atlantic City yesterday
were enthusiastic In their accounts
OF the convention. stating that 1t was
beyond doubt the greatest temperance
gathering ever held. The attendance
was larger than that at any previous
convention, and every day at least ten
thousand people we're present in the
two great auditoriums in which the
meetings were held.
The most significant feature OF the
conventions work was an aroused en-
thusiasm for national prohibition as
the dominant aim of all temperance
activity throughout the county The
determination to make prohibition in
1920 a reality In the history OF tenn
perance characterized the sentiment

Denounce cotton Embargo.

Wilmington, n. c.. July 10.-The
Chamber of Commerce has adopted
resolutions urging President Wilson,
so far as consistent with the rights
of this country, to bring about a

quarters, that the report be at All
modified by Council.
The removal of officials found de-
hnquent in any respect is not the end,
but the beginning. of really construc-
tive effort to better conditions In Rich
mond. The decks are cleared for
positive action by this incident Of the
campaign. which Is only an incident
and in no way conclusion. The
stamping with the seal of public dis
approval actions of public officials
which nullified the laws they were
supposed to enforce brings the city
into a position when 1t directly and
positively frowns on vice and nom
enforcement of the law as it has never
done before.
This report is further step in the
advance already made. Other steps
were the work and report Of the Vice
Commission, the abolition of the Sc
gregated district of vice. and the rea-
sonably effective enforcement Of the
law against vice. which must be made
more effective.
There remain for the future great
constructive iabors. The first of these
will be the awakening of the people
to the need of putting in charge of
their police and other city depart
ments men OF the highest character
and unquestioned loyalty to law en-
forcement. Public Indignation when
the city understands from the report
OF the Council committee that the
charges of incompetence or of de-
rejection TO duty, or both, have been
the committee may reasonably be ex-
pected to sweep aside the erring Of
ficeholders and put in their places
men of strong convictions.
But there are many other construc-
tive measures to be undertaken be-
fore the city can hope to be in posi-
ton to effectively enforce her laws or
to wage a successful battle against
vice. The laws that we have on the
statue books should be rigidly en-
forced, and any supplemental meas
ures needed or desirable should be
placed on those books with the great
est celebrity. The Vice Commission
recommended a board of public
morals TO look after the city's general
condition. Nothing has been done by
the Mayor or Council to adopt this
suggestion. It should be adopted. And
the city must realize that the most
valuable work to be done in Rich
mond for the suppression of vice lies
in the future. II is not In the past as
