"Enforcement of law is good; obedience to law is better; but the best thing of all is the conviction that the happiest man is not the chap who absorbs alcohol but the fellow who cuts it out," said Senator George Wharton Pepper, of Pennsylvania, at the thirty-year Jubilee convention of the Anti-Saloon League here today. "I.aw enforcement is an obvious, though difficult executive duty. I salute those who are honestly engaged in It.

Obedience is an equally obvious and equally difficult Individual obligation. I respect those who are discharging- it. 'But- enthusiasm for the object of the law carries you into a country far happier than the realm of-duty nnd obligation. It lifts life Into a land in which law is replaced by liberty and In which the pursuit of hap piness runs alone an entirely dif ferent road than the race for rum. When Man I nt His Bent "If a man is at his best when he leads a non-alcoholic life then the eighteenth amendment becomes a national Declaration of Independence and the man who resolutely upholds is seen at once to be the apostle of human liberty.

It is up to you and me to make our fellow citzens see not merely that they may be happy as well as dry, but that they may achieve happiness by becoming dry. "The picture to present to the youth of the nation is not the picture of a community where everybody is effectively prescribed from doing what he wants. It is the picture of a community where everybody Is in training for the race of Rood citizenship and where tt is a discreditable thing to break training before the race has been won. "I do not want to be connected with ft gloomy enterprise. I do not want to be the comrade of those whose only job is to clamor for the punishment of others.

I am glad to be a crusader provided the object is not to kill Saracens but to possess the Holy Land. I am content to accept the prohibition of the Old Testament If I can also live the free life of the new. "In Term of Sportsmanship" "Men and brethren, it Is up to you nnd up to me to interpret our cause to our countrymen In terms of good sportsmanship and manly strength. Let us catch the spirit of the Great Apostle and speak to them In terms of the glories of liberty and not in terms of the irritations of restraint. Let us proclaim to them the splendor of the human body and the ideals of an independence of bodily appetites which should characterize the true American.

Let us therefore cast away the works of darkness and let us put on the armor of light.

SENTIMENT From Page One but we propose to carry the contest to the rank and file of the party in Pennsylvania primaries for McAdoo delegates. borne of the opposition, according to newspaper stories, nre. tend to find consolation in the fact that we have not opened McAdoo Headquarters. The McAdoo move ment Js functioning satisfactorily in Pennsylvania. The date of the primary is Aprl 22, and the last day for filing papers is near the middle of March.

When the primaries are over, tne opposition will have cause (o feel that a great majority of the Democratic homes in Pennsylvania were active McAdoo headquarters. "The nomination of a conservative democrat to oppose President Cool- Jdge nnd his administrative policy would leave the Democratic party without an issue, and dispel the hope of holding even the party's present Birengin in tne i ongress. "In Pennsylvania Congressional districts where real fights are made by Democrats, this thoiurht will be given marked consideration. National Commit iceman "As to the Pennsylvania contest for national committeeman: Many prominent democrats or the State liave publicly advocated my election, and many have written to me pledging support and this has given me cause for deep appreciation. I am primarily interested In a McAdoo delegation from Pennsylvania.

I understand prospective candidates for Ihe committee place are now Bounding the depths of Pennsylvania sentiment to determine whether to run as a dry, a wet, or to choose a neutral position. But when and where will any national committeeman, as such, have a vote in any body of constituted authority to change or modify the Eighteenth Amendment or to make less effective or more drastic the Volstead Act? "And it seems to me that Pennsylvania Democrats when the entries are closed and the candidate Mated will be influenced in casting their votes for national committeeman by this thought: What has this candidate done or what will he likely do to stabilize, to harmonize and to improve the Democracy of Pennsylvania and will he faithfully and uteadfastly reflect the sentiment of the party of the whole State, not s. part of It. in the national organization of tha party."

I CO.VYNGHAM, Jan. 15 The Iron cage bought by the Conyngham town council when this place was formed into a borough twenty-three years agohaa been thrown op the scrap heap at the blacksmith 9hop of Harry Hecktote, without being used once. The cage was to have served as Con-yngham's lock-up, and was kept In the old planing mill of the late Charles II. Knelly, but In all the time that the borough maintained It, not an arrest was made for Infraction of the law. The cage cost $230, and Its purchase has been charged up to dead loss.

Council feels that with no arrests in twenty-three years the chances are that no lock-up will be necessary, especially since the prohibition law became effective.

REQUEST CITY TO VACATE STREETS From Page One subject for review by the City Planning Commission, especially because It Involves the parkway route, so action was deferred temporarily that Council and the Planners might confer. Propone Speed Action The city clerk was directed to proceed at once to try to arrange for a joint meeting on Thursday or before If possible. While the Children's Home authorities expressed to Chief Engineer Cowden a desire for immediate action on the street vacation request, Councilmen said the failure to act today would not necessarily cause a long delay because a special meeting of Council will be held for other purposes on Thursday morning and legislation to vacate the street sections could be introduced at that time. Final action on such an ordinance could be had at the regular Council meeting next Tuesday, if that is necessary, it was pointed out. The Children's Home Association grew out of the consolidation of the Children's Industrial Home and the Nursery Home.

Dronosed home. iajmjwii Bucci la not actuaiiv opened at that point, so that the southern line of the Harrisburg State Hospital grounds really is the bound ary line on the north side of the proposed home site. Cly Engineer's Ideas It is suggested in the Detition. which is joined in by Webbert, that Hamilton street may never be opened as laid out along the line of the state Hospital property and It Is held I no narm can come by vacating "paper" streets that cut through the site; including Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth, from Relly to Hamilton, and, Hamilton street from the hospital grounds to the land of Henry Schuddemage. During the informal discussion City Engineer Cowden told Council it would be to the advantage of the Children's Home to have a parkway boulevard -running along Its property line and that, in his opinion.

It may become easier for the city to locate the parkway there, with the Children's Home there than If the ground were privately owned.

Council to Consider Purchasing Steamer A special meeting of the borouch council will be held this evening for the purpose or considering the liaui- datlon of the borough's public Indebtedness, and to consider the purchase of a pumper for the Washington Klro Company. COUNCIL MEETS AGAIN THURSDAY City Council Is scheduled to meet In special session Thursday morning to consider a proposition to add S00 feet more of thirty-six inch water pipe to the new high service main now being laid to replace about two-thirds of the old thirty-Inch main, extending from the North street pumping station to the new reservoir In Reservoir Park. This additional pipe would cost something like $15,000. If Council approves, the cost may be paid entirely out of the remaining funds In the water department loan or part of the loan fund and part out of the water emergency fund.

There is enough money to pay it out of the two funds, but the Councllmen aren't 6ure there'll be enough remaining in the loan fund. They're now investigating. As it is, the thirty-six inch main stops at Thirteenth and State streets, but the proposed section would extend it out State street to Fifteenth. That was theoriginal plan of James H. Fuertcs, the consulting engineer, according to Commissioner, Hassler, hut when It seemed likely that there wouldn't be enough available money to go to Fifteenth and State streets, It was decided to Join the new larger main with the thirty-inch pipe at Thirteenth.

Lack of funds makes It Impossible. city officials said, to extend the thirty-six Inch main nil thA -uratr the new reservoir, but running it to Fifteenth street is regarded neces sary because, when part of the larger main was tested recently, a blowout occurred on the old main at Fourteenth street. In the opinion of city officials this extra 500 feet of pipe can be laid in two months or bo, by which time the was built.
