Concord, N. C September 7, 1911.
v The world seems to hsve gone
peed-crazy. It began with th. bicy
cle,' took a tremendous bound when
automobiles came into use and posi
tively surpassed the sanity-line after
tha introduction of aeroplanes. Speed,
speed, to break speed records, seems
to be the sole aim in life of thous
ands of persons who daily sacrifice or
at least endanger their own lives and
those of other persons, not at all in
terested in breaking speed records,
by racing their automobiles or aero
planes through space with the velocity
of a hurricane. In their mad desire
to make the utmost speed automobil
ists diregard the laws, take the most
desperate risks and wantonly destroy
the lives of other human beings. The
daily list of accidents and deaths
caused by the speed mania and reck
lessness of automobilists is appalling
and the law seems to be powerless to
put a stop to it. It is true that occa
sionally a few of the offending auto
mobilists are arrested, but they seem
to consider that merely as one of the
annoying features of the sport. The
fine which they have to pay is a triv
ial matter and they grumble only be
cause they were checked in their mad
rush. In view of the unreasonably
large number of speed limit viola
tions within the limits of Greater
New York the conviction is gaining
ground that a change of the speed
laws is not only desirable but abso
lutely necessary. The penalty for
such violations should be imprison
ment, not a mere fine. Every man
who raees through the public streets
of a densely populated city is a po
tential slayer and should be punish
ed as on the same theory that an
armed burglar is considered by the
law a potential murderer.
President Taft has reached the
point where he has no one backing
him except a small hand full of weal
thy manufacturers and tariff rob
bers. When the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill was passed in 1909 President
Taft defended that act in general
terms as the "best ever" but admit
ted that the tariff in the cotton and
woolen schedules and a few other
Hem were too high. The last con
gress which was controlled by Dem
ocrats' and insurgents, passed a bill
teduciag duties on wool and woolen
goods which President Taft bad pre
viously admitted were too high. Not
withstanding - the admission he
promptly vetoed this bill when it was
presented for his signature which
rould hare made a material reduction
$n raw wool and also manufactured
Woolen goods and thereby greatly
lessened the burden resting on the
Consuming , public I in . general and
UncW Sam's Poor!' in particular.
- The prohibition campaign in Maine
frill does this week. We note that
. ton. Robert B. Glenn, is now making
p.eehes in that state in favor of pro
jjubition. '. He is a great speaker on
any subject, and is especially at home
when speaking on temperance or pro
hibition. It is safe to say that the
fans he espouses will be materially
Strengthened wherever he has the op
ortunity of speaking.

gaccossc Coalaad le Italians.
Cathelia ftoKtiaeat tm Paver of
Rosa, Sept T. That Pope Pius
eeanot last meek longer is sunning
a Batter of eoavietiM ia all quartan.
As a oocaaqnenoo the .poaaibilty of
the imminent conclave ia la the
thought of all p etnas connected with
the Vatican, though there to not . the
slightest sign as yet of eejivaaaing or
inrnrae- wsar the Cardinal for the
chair of St. Petar. Nevertheless prog-
noetieatioas as to th possible soe-
ceaaor to th praaant Pontiff are be
ing made.
The Sacred College now has only
forty-nine members, twenty-eight Ital
ians and twenty-one foreigner. Th
Italian majority to strong in number,
but it to stronger still in influence.
Nearly all of th Italian Cardinals
reside in Kom and direct all tne ai
f airs of the Papacy. As head of eon
greeation they have th power ex
ercised elsewhere by cabinet minis
ters. Their views are earned out by
Italian subordinates. All the Papal
nuncios are Italian, depending from
an Italian Cardinal secretary of state.
The majority of the Vatican officials
are Italian, from the high chamber
lain of the apostolic palace to the
lowest menial employed about the
premises. All these people, with their
influence, which is strong, nave noth
ing to gain and everything to lose
from a foreign successor to nw A.
Foreurn Cardinals being thus out
of the contest, the choice of the next
Pope will be confined to one of the
twenty-eight Italian members of the
Sacred College. The best Catholic
sentiment in Rome at the present
time seems to be unanimous in its
expression in favor of Cardinal Ram-
polla as successor to Pius X. Cardi
nal Kampolla came near being a
successful candidate in 1903 when the
present Pope was chosen. It may be
assumed that thee ardinals who voted
for him at the last conclave will again
support him, while it is well known
that many of his former adversaries
are now his supporters. Pius X is
reported to have said that he felt that
his successor should be leo AJ.V,
thus clearly designating Rampolla,
whose policy would have been a con
tinuation of that of Leo XIII.
The election of Rampolla at the
last conclave was prevented only by
Austria's veto. There will be no
mention of a veto at the next conclave
for one of the first acts of Pope Pius
X. was the promulgation of a con
stitution abolishing the veto power
of Austria, Spain and France in the
Papal elections and prohibiting Car
dinals under the pain of excommuni
cation from receiving even in the
form of a simple desire any demand
for their good offices in presenting a
veto or making it known in the con
clave regardless of whatever manner
it may have come to their knowl
edge. Cardinal Rampolla is without ex
ception at he present time the most
notable figure of the Sacred College.
He is a Sicilian by birth and it was
just sixty-eight years ago yesterday
that he first saw the light of day. He
was educated at the College Caprani
ca and the Academy ef the Noble Ec
clesiastics in Rome, and in 1875 be
came attached to the nunciature at
Madrid.
In 1877 he became secretary of the
congregation of Oriental Rites. In
1882 he was created titular Arch
bishop of St. Heracles and sent to
Spain as nuncio. He was created and
proclaimed Cardinal,, March 14, 1887,
taking title from the Church of St
Cecilia, and a few months later was
named secretary of state. Since the
d ath of his f ormer -ehief, Pope Leo
XIII., he has lived a very retired life,
restricting his activities almost ex
clusively to his duties as head priest
of St. Peter's.
The distinguished family connec
tions of Cardinal Rampolla, his inti
mate acquaintance with Spanish and
English affairs, and his abilities to
cope with political statesmen are well
known. 'Also he is quite as famous
for his learning as for his ability. He
has written the best works extant up
on the traditions of the Greek church,
and upon tne infallibility of the Pope,
and he is the author of a notable vol
ume on the historical accuracy of the
story of the Maccabees.
Another advantage possessed by the
Cardinal as a candidate for the chair
of St. Peter is his patrician ances
try, for it is a tradition of the
church that he Pope should be a man
of patrician birth.
Rampolla 'a views are quite as lib
eral as those of any of the hierarchy
and he has often expressed warm ad
miration for Cardinal Gibbons, Arch
bishop Ireland and other members
of the liberal party of the Catholic
church in Ameriea.

CajLs-MeetiAga
Here for U
Break. .
Rat. E. L. Bain, prWdian' elder
of th Statesvilto district, ia which
district th famous Rock Spring camp
ground ia situated, write an inUreat
ing artiel about th amp meeting
in th Charlotte Observer. Among
Other things he says:
FoT-eighty-three years, without a
break vn during th Civil. War,
camp-meeting have been held on the
Rock Spring camp-ground ia Lincoln
county, North Carolina. These eamp
meetings hav been among the fac
tor in making Matbodiam th dom
inant religious fore in an extensive
territory. . . ...
There are over three hundred cab
ins, in th parlance of th camp
ground "tent," surrounding . the
quadrangle in three row. Through
th middle of each side of th quad
rangle runs a large pane-way. In th
quadrangle's center stands the, ar
bor covered with heavy metal and
having a seating capacity of fifteen
hundred people.
'lhere are excellent springs of wa
ter on two sides of the encampment.
In a year whose rainfall lacks six
teen inches of being normal and fol
lowing a drought exceeding in sever
ity any ever known, unless it be thst
of 1845, poured fourth an abundance
of water for the ten thousand people
that eame to camp-meeting Sunday,
August 13, this year.
The grounds contain forty-five
aores. Twenty-five or more are in
woods. A good grove covers all of
them. The arbor is located in a
slight natural amphitheater doubt
less the first assembly placed in North
Carolina with a bowl floor.
A splendid citizenship surounds the
camp-ground for miles. The Rock
Spring circuit is one of the strong
est in the Western North Carolina
Conference.
The circuit parsonage is in Denver,
the beautiful country village adjoin
ing the camp-ground.
Thirty or forty Methodist preach
ers occupy the territory to which As-
bury and McUee were assigned. The
methods of evangelism have changed.
We front a new world of thought.
The old camp meeting, glorious in its
day, is an anachronism. Now. for the
last decade or more as in the fondly-
cherished past, preachers of unusual
ability, some of them born and bred
in parsonages, in the very air of the
holy traditions of Methodism, have
preached at Rock Spring. It is both
amusing and pitiful to see one of
them, to whom camp-meeting is a
tradition and a sentiment, preach
fondly thingink that he shall ac
complish something really worth
while by his efforts. "Why notf"
he might ask. "Here are over three
hundred families tenting, besides
many camping in their schooner wag
ons on the circle without. They have
eome to camp meeting, they want the
gospel."
The horn blows. They listen well;
that is all.
On Sunday six, eight or ten thous
and people will surge about the
grounds. All are so decent, so order
ly that there was no policeman ap
pointed this year. The crowd is
sober. Not an oath is heard. Three
thousand in the quadrangle will hear
preaching, good preaching, "power
ful" preaching. But there are no
traditional camp meeting results.
The truth is the people have ceas
ed to eome with the religious inten
tion. They are good people, stew
ards, trustees, Sunday school teach
ers, but they haven't come to Rock
Spring to get more religion. In a
a large audience those who had
brought their Bibles with them to the
camp meeting were asked to hold up
their hands. Seven hands went up
and four of them belonged to preach
ers. Cannot the camp meeting be mod
ernized t May not its traditions be
preserved in a worthy continuance of
religious activity on the old camp
ground? May not the opportunity af-
iorued by tne assemblage of so vast
a multitude be utilized to their spir
itual as well as their recreational
benefit T -
The trustees of the camp ground
have answered this question affirma
tively. - w
: It is proposed hereafter to furn-
