Alter one of the most exciting politi

den Smith of Grand Rapids, congress
man, editor, banker, railway mans,
merchant, millionaire and man of al
fairs. has grasped the toga In so do
ing he has smashed the old Republi
can machine of the state, erected a
pew organization and paved the way
for the retirement of Senator Julius
Caesar Burrows, the stalesman from
Kalamazoo. From now until a Dew
champion appears and conquers the
geld Senator Smith and Gov. Warner
will control the political patronage of
the state and, according to present
indications, use it judiciously for the
purpose of placing William C McMIilk
lam of Detroit in the senatorial gar
ment upon which Burrows has a lien
until 1811.
Mr. Smith is 4% years old and a na
tive of Dowagiac, Mich. He was edu
cated in the public schools and went
with his family to Grand Rapids when
he was 12 years old
In Grand Rapids he began his ca-
reer of self-reliance by selling pop
corn and newspapers and running er
rands, for the family was poor. He
turned all his earnings over to ‘his
parents for the family support.
The stepping stone of his political
career was his appointment as a
page in the house of representatives
of the state
Finding that another boy had se
cured a position as messenger boy,
tor which he had applied to his home
representative, he trudged the 25
miles from Grand Rapids to Ionia to
solicit in person from Lieutenant Gov-
ernor Sessions a position as messen-

ger to the senate. His ambitions In
this direction were dashed, for he was
told that there were no vacancies, but
he was undaunted. He made his way
to Lansing on the opening day of the
session. and his persistence brought
him the appointment as page from
Speaker John T. Rich
His first winter in the legislature
as a page gave him a wide acquaint
ance with men In the state. It
strengthened a determination he had
formed to become a lawyer, and he
took up the reading of law in the of-
fice of Burch & Montgomery, and at
the age of 24 was admitted to the bar
He soon became associated with Fred
W Stevens, and later the firm be
came Smiley, Smith & Stevens
He became general counsel for the

pointed state game warden for his
work in the campaign, in which Luce
was elected
Mr. Smith built a logging rallroad
from Rapid City to Kalkaska and
Stratford a distance of 44 miles, ten
years ago, to tap a tract of lumber on
the Upper Manistee river, which had
been left uncut because of its dis
tance from the railroads. Later he
built a line from Lowell to Hastings
For this work he reecived $100,000 in
stock which was considered worth.
less. He held it until the Pere Mar-
quette had use for the branch, then
sold it at par
Mr. Smith was first elected to con-
gress in 1894. He was reelected In
1896, and with Increased majorities
each two years since, until in 1904
his majority was nearly 18000. In
1906 the Democrats placed no cand!
date in the field against him
In the years he has served In con-
gress he has developed Into one of
the strong men of the house. He
voted for the employers’ lability bill
voted for the absolute control of the
corporations by congress. and frst
and foremost has at all times advo
cated the amendment of the constitu-
tion of the United States to provide
for the election of United States sen-
ators by the people.
Besides being a lawyer and a politi

Grace Darling of America, celébrated
her fiftieth year in the little light
house on Lime rock, Newport harbor,
of which she is in charge as keeper.
As girl and woman lda Lewis has
lived a remarkable life. Her bravery
and skill in handling a boat are well
known, and her fame is secure as the
greatest woman life saver in the

of her rescues having been effected in

be severe indeed to keep her away
As keeper of the Lime island light

record as a lifesaver, on the death of
her father, Miss Lewis has shown her
could be. She is one of the few wo
men in such a position
She cared for the light several
years before appointed keeper, when
her father, because of sickness, was
unable to pertor® his duties. At the
same time she helped keep house and
rowed her sounger sisters to Newport
daily to school
She was appoluted keeper of

without a break ever since
Although she will be 65 years old

that his embezzlements will amount

for four years, and he was found In

In 1903 Flower was arrested and re-
