BRUMBAUGH GIVES
HIS VIEWS ON PEACE
Says Church, Home and School
Must Join in Education of
Individuals
As an outcome of the constructive I
peace meeting lield Saturday night at
the Technical high school under the
nuspiccs of the Pennsylvania Arbitra
tion and Peace Society, a number of
follow-up meetings will be held Sun
day nights at various large churches of
the city and a big meeting for perma
nent organization is planned about the
middle of May.
Many applications were signed by
persons desiring to join a permanent
organization, and were taken charge of
by Dr. J. J. Mullowney, chairman of
the committee of arrangements.
The views of Governor Brumbaugh
nn the peace question given in a letter
read by Dr. Mullowney were as fol
lows:
"Wo Are Peaceful People''
"I am intensely interested not only
in the preservation of the peace of this
nation, but in the development of the
spirit of peace in the citizens of this
(treat, Commonwealth.
"If we are to maintain another cen
tury of peace with the nations of the
world, wo must first have a definite
high national ideal. It then becomes
our business to train our people to
realize this ideal, to know what it
means to be a citizen of this country.
"The hope of securing peace in
America rests upon a trained citizenshi
America rests upon a train
ed citizenship. We are a peace
ful and a peace-seeking peo
ple. The man here wlioo plans for
war is no friend of this country. The
time lias come for Christian people to
do more for the great Prince of Peace
than they have done in the past. What
this country needs more than anything
else is good behavior In each of her
citizens. If we can secure that there
will be no cause for thinking about a
larger army and navy."
The Woman's Side
Mr?. Mabel Cronise Jones gave the
woman's viewpoint on the peace ques
tion, saying that war will be ended
when women have the vote. Profes
sor Alvin S. Johnson, of Cornell, spoke
on the economic features of war,
pointing out that commercial and colo
nial jealousy and fear on the part of
the great nations involved is at the
bottom of the present conflict.
other speakers were Henry C. Nlles,
rice-president and August Cadwalla
ler of Philadelphia, secretary of the
Pennsylvania Arbitration and Peace
Society.

lticular is said to have received 20,000
I grains of morphine in one week, to
i gether with large quantities of othor
! "dope."
1,0(10 "Dope" Users
Physicians are just finding out the
i full extent of the evil. One said that
ithere are at least 1,000 persons }n
'this city who use the drug. These
J are now suffering dreadful agony be
cause they cannot obtain it.
j Unscrupulous physicians, who pre
-1 scribed the various forms of opium
| and allowed their patients to have
I these prescriptions refilled, are the
I cause of so many persons being vlc
jtims of the habit, according to the
statement of a prominent doctor.
Ilcroin and "Coke" Favorites
I One of the physicians said that
| about the only cure for a fiend is to
| gradually cut down the supply and
j eventually overcome the craving for
I the "snow" as the white particles are
[called. Heroin and cocaine are said
!to be the favorites. Some of the users
■ are quite young.
Another physician in explaining the
effects of the drug and results when
its use is discontinued said, that when
a person uses the drug regularly the
system forms what is sometimes called
an "antidope" which reacts wifh the
form of opium and that when no more
"dope" is taken, this reaction causes
great agony to the fiend."

ATTRACTS LARUE CROWDS
Inclement weather failed to keep
record-breaking crowds away from the
churches of Steelton, Highspire, Ober

Sunday yesterday.
In all five towns the churches were
filled with larger crowds than when
the weather was balmy. Many of the
ministers preached sermons appro
priate to the day and the choirs sang
special music. The campaign was in
augurated by the Ministerial Associa
tion of Steelton and vicinity.

LOCAL OPTION BILL
STATE-WIDE QUESTION
[Continued from First Page.]
the legislature to-morrow arrange
ments should be made for a. public
hearing. "Let the hearing be a big
one and let everyone come and speak
with absolute frankness. We want
their views. Compensation is a new
thing to us and we want the benefit
of all experience and all opinions," de
clared the Governor.
Attorney General Francis Shunk
Brown this afternoon declared in favor
of a constitutional convention. "Tha
time is right for a constitutional con
vention," said he. "I see no reason
why there should be any fears that
such a convention would not be made
up of men fully able to meet the prob
lems and of the proper spirit to framo
for this State a constitution that will
g.> farther toward meeting the needs
of the State than the one we have
now."
Mr. Brown said that it was an idea
of his that the Governor should be
permitted, to name some delegates as
in that way the State might get the
benefit of brains of men who would
never enter an election contest for
delegate.
Bills Go in To-morrow
The administration workmen's com
pensation bills will be Introduced into
the legislature to-morrow.
Attorney General Brown to-day an
nounced that they were about ready
and that there would be no changes
of Importance in the bills as compared
with the tentative draft made publio
some time ago. Francis H. Bohlen,
secretary of the Industrial Accidents
commission which drafted the original
bill, discussed with Mr. Brown a num
ber of suggestions he had received and
some of those submitted to Governor
Brumbaugh were taken up.
In all probability there will he pub
lic hearings on the bills at which labor
leaders and others interested will be
Invited to make statements.
The child labor bills will be consid
ered at a public hearing on March 16.
