ACED PRESIDENT OF THE '
LATTER DAY SAINTS DIES;
Joseph Smith, 8;i Years Old Expired
Yesterday—He Will Be Succeeded
Aa Head of the Church By His
Son. Frederick M. Smith
By Associated Press.
Independence. Mo., Dee. 11.—Jo
seph Sn:.th. president of the reorganiz
ed church of Latter Day Saints, died
at his home here yesterday. At his bed
side was his son. Frenterick M. Smith,,
who will succeed him as president of
the church and other members of his
family who had been called from va- j
rious parts of the United States.
Prerident._ Smith "as S2 yean old'
and had been in ill heaith for several
months. Recently he IH anie blind
and was forced to abandon many ot j
his diuaes ns editor oe the '• Saints
Herald, the official publication of the
church.
Two weeks ago he was stricken with
heart disease and he hj«l beta in a
critical condition since. Th-ree days
ago the aged patriarch expressed a
wish to die.
••Don't try to keep me,'' he said,
to those at his bedsiiie. "If it is the
Divine will that I should go, I have
no right to attempt to stay. "
A stenographer was in constant at
tendance ou the dying man, who gave
•firevtions for carrying on the work of
the church. His family ami the officers
of the church also wanted his last re
marks preserved for posterity. His
six sons were at his beds*!?' a-most
constantly until his death an t he • uve
special instructions to the son who is
to succeed him.
A historv of Joseph Smith, who was
a son of Josieph Smith, prophet, and
founder of Mormorisni. is a historv of
the Reorganized Church of the Latter
Day ■ < >aiints. It was he who brought
together the little bands of Mormons
in Illinois. lowa and Missouri, left be
hind when the main bodv emigrated to
Utah. He became the first president of
the reorganized church, and heki that
office more then hail a century, until
his death. He was a cousin of Joseph
Fielding Smith, in recent years presi
dent of the Latter Day Saints in Utah.
The greater part of President Jo
seph Smith's life was a struggle, as
had been the life of his father, to pla-e
Mormonism upon a sound footing. Dur
ing tbe last years erf his life he was
blind.
He was born November 6, 1832. at
Kirtiund. 0., where his father had gone
two years earlier with a few follow
ers. from Manchester, N". Y. Soon aft
erwards the colony moved to Mi«ssouri.
There at Independence, the prophet,
as he was known, established the
"New Jerusalem" of the church,
obeying, he said, a revelation. Enmity
of other settlers, however, resulted in
the Mormons beii»* driven out. Prophet
Joseph Smith was arrested and placed
in jail at Liberty, Mo.
In the jail, whore the younger Jo
seph, them five years old. spent the
first night with his father, the prophet
bent over the child as be sobbed him
self to sleep, and to him commended
the hopes and aspirations of the
c-burch.
" M v mother accompanied mv fath
er to Überty," Joseph Smith told, in
later years, "but fermug for her life,
my father iixhwed ber to go with mem
ber* of the ehureh to Illinois.
"I tramped across the almost unin
habited prairies of Missouri to Xauvoo,
j II!., where my father, when he was re-'
leased, joined us. Then, in IS4I. when'
I I was twelve years old, one day his
! dead body was brought to us. He had
been shot by a mob in Oartkige. 111. * *
After the death of the prophet most
of the members of the church emigrat
ed to I'tah under the leadership ot
Briyham Young. Young Joseph Smith,!
remaining bahind, worked us farmer
• and r.s a clerk an I studied law. This
he gave up to effect the reorganization
of the church, which was formailv «<■-
j complished at Amboy, 111., in iSGO. N
Twenty years kuer beadquarters of the
church was e*»taCVishe*l in Lamotti.
lowa, and in 1906 a removal was mcde
to Independence, Mo., where Prcsi lent
Smith male his home and where he re
sided uutil his death.
, President Smith lived simply, or
cupyinrj a modes* eottjge. one room ot
which constituted his office. He Bros-.'
j early and until his health began to fail
a few years ajo and blindness overtook
him, he devote I his dcys to editorial
werk for the "Saints' Herald," the
official publication of the church, and
srovermentr.i affairs cf the organiza
tion. as well as responding to many
picas for advice from communicants.
T.te a.'eu church heal »a< a familiar
figure in Independence, with heavy
: whitened beard and dressed phiinlv, |
he had nr.K-h the appewance of a weil
to-<lo farmer. He wa< in close touch
with the members of his church and
was familiarly a l.lressed by them us
'' Brother Joseph." Much of* the a--tivel
conduct of his office he turned over
in 1912 to his son, Frederick M.
Smith, who, he <kvlared, a revelation
had 1 should succeed him.
President Smith was married three
j times, losing bis first and second wives
by death. He denounces! polygi moils
teachings and practices and nust em
pbuticclly denied that his father was a
pok'jaiuist or sanctioned polygamy.

Williamsport, Pa., Dec. 11.—
"Woman's place is in the home looking
after her family, and not in politics,"

AND WIAI IS THE MATTER
WITH THEJMED STATES?
Timidity and Backwardness Inex
plicable Under Present Conditions,
Say* Herbert N. Casson, In "Asso
ciated Advertising''
"What is the matter with the Unit
ed Statesi"
As I have been residing in Utndon
since the beginuing of the war, 1 have
bwn hearing this question asked on
all sides. I have never heard any satis
factory answer. Xo one seems to know.
Why are the American factories not
running night and dayt Why are the
railroads not opening up new territories
ami getting ready for the millions of
immigrant* "'ho have already made up
their minds to leave Europe as soon
as the war is overt
Wliy aro there not fifty American
drummers in London right now, trying
to sell $200,000,000 worth of American
goods in plaoe of the goods that were
bought la*t year front Germany and
Austria?
Why have some advertisers become
quitters, just at the time when their
advertisements were most needed and
most effective in cheering on the tiusj
ness forces of the United States?
The European Point of View
From the European point of view,
the I nited States is a haven of peace
Rnd security and prosperity. It has
no troubles that it dare mention to
Belgian or Austria, of France or Ger
many, or Servia or Great Britain or
Kussia.

Loudon, a week in Paris and a week
in Antwerp.
1 would let them look at the United
States from the scene ot' war. 1 would
give them a look at real trouble, 1
would let them see trains, ten at n time,

1 would let them hear, from frag

of battlefields 150 miles wide, and
armies that are greater than the entire
population of Texas.
"Realise Your Opportunities"
I would let them see graves 100
yards Ions; and full, and Belgium, the
country that was, nothing now but
1,000 square miles of wreckage.
Then, when they began to under
stand, to some slight extent, the mag
nitude and a \vf illness of this war, I
would say to them:
'' No.v go back and appreciate the
I uited States. Realize your opportuni
ties. Don't start digging trenches
when nobody is firing at you. Don't
fall down when you have not 'been hit.

SURVEY FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT
Makes No Difference Whether Laud
Is Public Property or Not
Washington, D. C., Dec. 11.—In the
Thirty-fifth Annual Report of the Unit
ed States Geological Survey, made pub
lic to-dav, George Otis Smith, the Di
rector, discusses particularly the pro
vince of the Federal Survey. An
amendment which was offered in Con
gress to last year's appropriate bill
would, if passed, have restricted the
geologic work of the Survey to the pub
lie lands. As the amendment failed
the only result was to attract more at
tention to the basic investigative work
of the Survey, which embraces all the
lands of the United States, the pri
vately owned as well as the public
lands. The examination of private
property for private purposes is for
bidden by the organic act of* the Sur
vey, but the examination of private
lands must be included in any general
investigation. The determinative fac
tor in the whole matter is whether the
investigation work on privately, owned
lands yields results that are merely of
local and personal interest or results
that are of general and national value.
Land ownership is only an incident
when large questions of natural re
sources are considered. The special
interest of the Government in its own
lands—the public lands—being grant
ed, it must be added, as was suggested
last year by Representative Sherley
at a hearing before the House Appro
priations Committee, that "So far as
the development of the mineral re
sources of the country is concerned, it
is just as important to know the re
sources of privately owned land as of
Government-owned land." it is
j remembered that in the First Annual
Report of the Geological Survey Di
rector King prophesied for the United
States a future annual output of min
eral products having a value of a bil
lion dollars, and that the present pro
duction is Hyo and one-half times that
amount, it must be conceded that the
: desirability of the Federal scientific in
; vestigationg of these national resources
is even greater than in 1880.
1 "It is a most conservative state
!ment," Director Smith says, "that at
no date has the general public been in
I clofer touch with the United States
1 Geological Survey or m<tde larger use
of the published or unpublished re
' suits of its surveys and investigations
'than at the present time."

VERY CHEAP ROAD MATERIAL'
Obtained From Tailings of Concentrat
ing Mill at Zinc Mines
Washington, I). C., Dec. 11.—In
Missouri a considerable amount of rood
material is obtained from the tailings
of the concentrating mills at the zinc
mines. This material, which is put ou
the market cs "chats," consists of
small angular fragments of chert anil
limestone. The zinc companies are vorv
glad to get rid of tliis waste material,
which is loaded on the cars by the rail
roads of the district at a cost of about
6 or 8 cents a ton. It makes more
than ordinarily good roads and is wide
ly distributed all through the Middle
West. It sells in most places at prices
ranging from 50 ceuts to $1 a ton, Ibut
in the neighborhood of the mines it can
be had for about 15 cents a ton. It is
used for railroad ballast as well as
road-making. The annual output, af
fording to the United States "Geological
Survey, amounts to about 1,300,000
tons.
In Tennessee and Alabama a quanti
ty of chert is used for road metal, and
in many States crushed slag from blast
furnaces also furnishes a valuable road
material. In Alabama, one of the large
iron-producing States, over 2,000,000
short tons of furnace slag, the average
value of which was about 25 cents a
ton, was crushed and put on the roads
last year. Crushed slag is also used as
railroad ballast and for concrete and
rooting material.

Santa CSaus Is Just As Popular Now

Your old friend, Mr. 8 ant a Ola us, is
coming with bells on this year, for
sure.
Some of the older citizens may for
get that tliis good gentleman was once
a friend of theirs, and that ho is still

judging from the shopping crowds the
spirit of Christmas has taken a Ann
hold on this community.
After the last present has been se

has been overlooked. Such an emerg
ency may be taken care otf by taking
advantage of the Star-Independent's
Bible offer. The $5 volume is just
