Editorial Opinion
THAT CAMP MEETING TRAGEDY


From the Smyrna Times.
The disgraceful shooting affray at
Mt. Friendship (Colored Camp. Sun
day. is deeply regretted and for the
second time within a period of six
years has cast suspicion on the
Camp in Mudge's Woods and caused
many law-abiding citizens to feel
that camps do more harm than
good" We do not think that any
one blames the ministers in charge or
the good respectable negroes who
gather around "the circle" in en-
deavor to preach and live the gospel,
nevertheless the camp seems to
draw a lawless class who delight in
committing depredations on the out
side, play crap and indulge in booze.
To be true the camp authorities may
not be to blame. Their jurisdiction
may only be within the camp grounds
Nevertheless the fact that a woods
meeting is in progress proves a draw
ing card for the lawless element who
take advantage of the crowd to dis
pense their booze and indulge in dis
orderly conduct. In such cases would
not more good be accomplished by
sticking to church services and
abandoning the woods meetings alto
gether?

Governor Wilson. in his speech accepting the Demo-

vision of the tariff schedules the paramount issue in
this campaign The Republicans have fought many
successful battles with the Democrats on that issue
and no doubt will welcome the fact that It has been
brought TO the front again this year Low tariff low
wages and little work go hand-in-hand In addition,
there is no assurance that the Democratic plan will
carry with it lower prices Cor the necessaries of life
to compensate the working for the lower wages
he would receive under Democratic revision of the
tariff This is year in which the American working
man is not disposed TO do anything assist in reduc

Doses to revise the tariff downward to meet the idea
" the free traders and tariff for revenue only men,
and which to gain those ends, also is willing to revise
wages downward, would not have ghost of a show

SECOND ATTEMPT
TO ASSASS|NATE
ROSALSKY
Another Bomb Sent to Trial
Judge in Brandt Case
FOUND BY POSTAL CLERK
Deadly Package Similar to Bomb
Which Exploded While Being
Opened a Week Ago

New York, March 25.-Notwith-
standing it has become known that
the New York police are in possess
ion OF a second bomb mailed to Judge
Otto A. Rosalsky of the court of gen.
eral sessions, the trial judge in the
Brandt case, detectives would not dis
close yesterday on what clews they
are working to solve the two myster-
ious attempts upon the life of the
jurist. The new bomb, which forum
ately was detected in the mails and
kept intact, coupled with the threat
ening letters sent to Delaney Nlcoll,
attorney for Mortimer l.. Schift in
the case of Folke, +. Brandt, Mr.
Schiff's former valet, are believed to
have encouraged the police to renew
ew efforts in running down the send
err The latest bomb is said to be
identical with that which exploded a
week ago in Judge Rosalskys library
while being examined by an officer.
A clerk in the postal substation II
near Judge Rosalsky's home, discov-
cred a suspicious looking package in
the mail last Wednesday. The ad
dress was typewriter on slip OF
paper pasted to the package, as in the
case of the first bomb. The postoliice
had been instructed to scan the
judges mail carefully and when the
suspected bomb was found the auth
critics were notified.
An inspector from the bureau OF
combustiles took 1t In charge and
opened it with such precautions that
an explosion was averted. With the
materials intact, it was hoped that
some clew to the sender might be
found. PostolIice inspectors were
called upon to help, but they are a:
reticent as the detectives as to whai
progress is being made. A list OIL

DESCRIBES PLAN AT SERVICE

Chicago, March 25.-Dean Walter
r. Sumner of the Protestant Episco-
pal cathedral of SITS Peter and Paul
at Chicago delivered a sermon yester-
day upon the Sacrament of Marri-
age" during which he made the fol-
lowing announcement: after consul
tation with the Rt. Rev. c. p. Ander-
son, bishop of Chicago, and with his
Dean Sumner and his Co
workers of the cathedral of SITS. Peter
and Paul have agreed upon an advan-
ced policy with regard to the admin
istration of marriage in the cathe-
dral
Beginning with Easter, no persons
will be married at the cathedral UNI
less they present a certificate Of
health from a reputable physician to
the effect that they are normal, ply
sically and mentally, and have Meth
er an uncurable nor communicable
disease This step is taken only af-
ter months of study of the situation
and deliberation as to its adyisabilty.
1t is believed that this stand will meet
with the immediate sympathy Of the
clergy in the church at large, all of
whom have long felt the undesirable
ity of being party to the marriage OF
persons, who, because of their ply
steal condition, should never be allow
ed to enter into the marriage state"
I'VE do not expect to bring about
any great good at once by this plan
Of ours" Dean Sumner told his con
gregation. but we are hopeful that,
standing as protest, 1t may encour-
age other clergy to take a similar
stand. Our move will at least cause
a deeper interest in the problem and
a wider action on the part of fathers
and mothers"
The plan as announced by Dean
Sumner, and which has been under
consideration for some time, provides
that the young couple desiring to
enter the bonds of matrimony shall
first visit a physician of repute and
be separately examined as to physic.
al qualifications and freedom from
infectious diseases. The certificate
the doctor will then issue must be
taken back to the cathedral and pre-.
scented to the clergyman who is to
perform the ceremony OF marriage,
together with the civic license.
'As matters now stand marriage
certificate issued by this cathedral
means no more than does a marriage
license issued by the county clerk. y
said Dean Sumner. Everybody
knows that in Chicago there has been
an attempt made by the state to SUI
pervise the desires of those who wish
to marry All the man has to do is
to visit the Office of the clerk, and
poke through the window a slip with
the name of the female written upon
1t alongside of his own. But we will
make the certificate issued by the
cathedral stand from this time on
for absolute purity. Our seal upon
the certificate will speak volumes"
Dean Summers innovation caused
much discussion among the celrgy OF
the city. and while expressions OF
opinion were given sparingly they In
the main expressed the belief that the
plan, regardless of its merit, was i'm
practicable.

LAWRENCE STRIKE
OFFICIALLY At
AN END
Labor Leaders Say II Accom-
pIished Its Purpose
SECURED INCREASED WAGES
Between 100000 and s12,ooo,ooo
viii Be Added to Pay Of Textile
Workers During Coming Year

Boston, March 24.-The great Law
renee strike, which brought in its
train increased wages for 275,000 tex
tile workers in New England, was de-
clared officially off at all the mills in
Lawrence today, having accomplish
ed its purpose, in the opinion Of the
leaders. That the strike had done
this, and more, is acknowledged by
several labor leaders not affiliated
with the Industrial Workers of the
World, which directed the Lawrence
labor war.
Advances in the price of wooden
and cotton goods which have been
made or which are in prospect will
probably place upon the ultimate con-
sumer much of the burden of the ad-
ditonal wage cost to the textile man
ufacturers. This will aggregate be-
tween $1O,OO0.O0O and S12,O00,000 dur
ing the next year, it is estimated.
Mill agents, in announcing adyan-
ces in the prices of certain grades OF
cotton and wooden goods within a
few days, have frankly said that the
upward trend is the result Of wage
advances in New England mills, and
to some extent, to.those in New York
state textile plants
So the housewife, in buying her do
nestle goods, men and women alike
in paying for their suits, may each be
called to contribute the increased
wage of New Englands 275,OO0 mill
operatives
Before formally declaring the Law
renee strike off today action was Ia
ken on several matters. The return
OF the children, nearly 300 of whom
are now in homes in New York, Phil
adelphia, and Barre, VT, where they
were sent during the strike, was ar
ranged, for next Saturday. At that
time a demonstration is planned. A
committee has been appointed to
arrange with the Lawrence city ofIlc-
ials for a big parade, which will In
clude the children.
II is planned to have the marchers
pass by, II not actually around the

prlsoned the original strike leaders

on a charge of completely to murder

TWENTY IN QUARANTINE
Mrs. cullom Of East Montpelier Found
to Have Smallpox

East Montpelier, March 24-Follow-
ing the discovery Friday that Mrs.
John Cullom had broken out with
smallpox, the entire building where
she lives, in which these are four
other families, was placed under quar-
antine and three other families which
have been exposed were also Isolated
in their homes. Health officer Harry
Vincent is taking every precaution TO
prevent a spread Of the disease.
Mrs. Cullom was exposed to the
disease sometime ago, and was plac-
ed under quarantine. About a week
ago Health Officer Vincent decided
she had not contracted smallpox and
fumigated the house and raised the
quarantine.
Mrs. Cullom went about as usual
until Friday, when she was taken i'll
and the characteristic rash was dis
covered on her body. The entire
block was then quarantined, shutting
up about 20 people.
Mrs. Cullom is not seriously i'll and
so far no other persons have shown
signs OF the disease, but 1t is feared
many have been exposed, as the dis
ease is communicable after the rash
begins to appear.

RESULTS OF VOTE
/. IN NEW YORK CITY
ONLY INDEX
Of Popular Preference Toward
Presidential Candidates.
UPSTATE WITH ORGANIZATION
Roosevelt Forces Have Filed Nomlna-
lions In City Districts and Sharp
Fights Are Expected

New York, March 24.-The delega-
ton Of sc district representatives
which New York state is entitled to
send to the Republican national con-
vention, will be elected tomorrow at
the state wide primaries, the first held
under the new law. The results will
be regarded with interest throughout
the state, but the line drawn by the
vote in New York City will be the
chief, practically the only, index as
to popular preferences toward the
candidates. of President Taft and ex-
President Roosevelt for the presiden-
tial nomination.
With the exception of two instan-
ces, the upstate elections will be
without opposition to the regular or
ganization candidates, but in the
metropolis an interesting fight is
promised. In every one Of the thir-
teen congressional districts of the
city proper the Roosevelt forces have
nominated delegates by petition, and
with campaign meetings and litera-
ture they have sought to get out
large vote. Organization leaders,
however, express confidence that their
candidates will win by generally
heavy pluralities.
In the Utica district where Theo-
dore' Robinson, Colonel Roosevelt's
nephew, is running, and in the Twen-
ty-sixth district, where Lawrence Alb
bolt of The Outlook has been nomina-
ted as one of the candidates, there
will also be interesting contests.
The Democrats also hold their pri-
maries Tuesday. but they will elect
delegates only to their state conven-
ton, as they have chosen, under the
privilege Of the law, to elect their
delegates to the national convention
at their state gathering. A large
number of party committees are
also to be elected by both parties, the
long list of names leading to mon.
strosities in ballots. In one district
in this city the ballot is fourteen feet
long, and in all districts they are of
cumbersome dimensions.
