rn | ( ‘ ae me a ; THE ATHER CENERALLY FAIR, THIRTY-EIGHTH YEAR. \ BISMARCK, MORMON CHURCH ~HEAD-IS DEAD | AT AGE OF 80 Joseph F. Smith, Last of Pio-; neers of Latter Day Saints, Passes Away 43 CHILDREN SURVIVING Was Founder of Great Family, With Five Wives and 91 Grandchildren Salt Lake City, Utah, Nev. 19.— Joseph F. Smith, president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon) died at his home here early today, after a long illness. Not- withstanding his illness, President Smith attended the recent semi-anual conference of his church, held the fit week in October, and spoke strongly against polygamous marriages which had been reported. as surreptitiously performed during the last year. WAS PIONEER LEADER. ‘ Joseph Fielding Qmith was president of the Mormon church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the seat of ‘which cult is in Utah, though its members are scattered in colonies through the world to the number of some 400,000. The church is ruled by council, but Smithwas its nominal head, and laid claim to the authority ‘of the original Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith, his uncle. Thjs claim was dis- puted by several apostate organizations, including the Missouri branch, at the ‘head of which was Joseph Smith, son of the prophet, who died in 1914. With the death of both Smiths, has spassed probably the last of the Mor- | ‘anon leaders whose birth occurred prior | to the settlement of the oult in Utah. Joseph Fielding Smith was 80 years old. His father, Hyrum Smith, and his uncle, the original Prophet Joseph, were shot to death by a mob whieh | stormed the jail in Carthage, IIL,/ where the two were confined shortly after they began to preach plurality of | wives. When his mother, with the rést of the’ Mormons. were driven. fram Nauvoo, UL, the years-old Joseph 5 Fielding Smith drove an ox team across the plains into Utah and became a herd hoy, and then a missionary, when, in 1852, Brigham Young established the headquarters of the Mormon sect at Salt Lake City, Utah. He was sent ona mission to! Hawaii when only 15) yeurs old. i! { He. entered the ‘army..whish Young despatched ‘to ititercept the ‘United States troops which were about to in- yade Utah, and performed active serv-/ ice as a scout, harassing the federal | expedition until the president's, procla- i mation ended the “Mormon war.” { In:1890, afterf#he supreme court had upheld the Fdmunds-Tucker act mak- ing ypslygamy unlawful~in the terri-j tories;--which resulted iu. the impyison- ment of more than 1,000 Mormon: President Woodruff of the chureh 4é sued a manifesto declaring ‘that polyga- my was no longer practiced by the Mormons. In public admonitions, President Smith upheld this manifesto, but as to his own case, he said, before! the Smoot inquiry, that although it was contrary to the law of the land, he had had a plural family for many years and he preferred to meet the conse- quences of the law rather than to abandon his children and their moth- ers. . He testified that he had eleven ‘children born ‘since 1890, and that all of his wives had borne children since that time, but he reiterated that no plural marriages had been performed by officers of the Mormon church or sanctioned to be performed by the ‘church since 1890. Aside from his religious activities, Smith -wag, several times 1 member of the Utah ‘state legislature and of the city council of Salt Lake City. He was a widely traveled man, having made many trips to Europe. In 1874 he was sent. to England as a mission- ary and was so, active with the Mor- mon propoganda that his work attract- ed wide attention. on f In 1918 President Smith had five living wives, although he had been mar- ried six times. Of his’ 48 children 20 were living and he hdd 91 grandchil- dren. s GRANT MAY SUCCEED. Heber J. Grant, president. of ihe quorum of twelve apostles of’ the Church of Latter Day Saints (Mor- mon) church, is regarded as likely ‘to succeed to the presidency, precedent having established his sucession. In every case sincé the establishment of the church in the Salt Lake valley by Brigham Young, the president of the quorum of twelve has succeeded to the first’ presidency, which carries with it also the titles of: prophet, seer and revelator, and usually tristee in trust. The first presidency comprises the: president of the church, and two coun- selors, appointed by the president.« In most instances they have been chosen j from the quorum of twelve, but it is not compulsory to select’ them from | that body. | The quorum of the twelve apostles | select the president, who appoints the! counselors. If they are seleeted from | the quorum, of ‘twelve, and the two counselors who are relieved were not} members of the quorum before their} appointment as ‘counselors, there are | three vacancies in the quorum of twelve to fill. If the retiring counselors have been members of the quorum, they re- sume their places in that body, and the only vacancy existing in the quorum its that of the newly elected presidént. At present the first and second coun- selors, Anthon H. Lund, and Charles W. Penrose are members of the quorum of twelve. } ACTION IS FAVORABLE, Washington, Nov. 19.—Final favor- able action was taken in the senate this afternoon on the national war- time prohibition bill effective July 1, 1919, and continuing during demobil- izati "Fhe measure goes Thusrday to” jdét. {Witson for’ his approval, |tmaterials and for certain manufactur- BY PRANK A. VANDERUIP. 1 President of the National City Bank, New York. | (Written, for the N..E. A.) 1 The first great trade influence that we are likely to see immediately is an insistent demand for food, for raw edcts from’ abroad. that it must be met. It will uot be congned to the belligerent countries, for the war has dislocated coumerce the world over. If we are to sell to other nations great amounts of our products, raw materials and manufactures, the que tion must at once arise, in view of ¢: isting international financial positions, as to how other nations are to pyy for what they need. Whatever Is bought must in some way be pald for. ahis must either be by the sale or goods to us, by the export of gold ‘tous, or by floating with us in some form, eredit obligations. They cannot at once provide goods in sufficient amount to pay for what they need from us. Certainly they have not the gald to ship, and we ought not to demand it. That leaves the inevitable conclusion that we must absorb foreign credit obligations in payment for a large part of our exports. NEW INVESTMENTS. eign trade depends on the willingness of the country to absorb more foreigu securities, One thing the war has shown us is that we greatly underes- timated the strength of our financial position. Our savings, our ability to make new investments, jumped from | six and one-half billions a year to u total this year of 15 billions. | Our capacity to save is so great that it seems clear that we can probably revote a very large amount of our ings to investment in foreign secu! ties. I believe that the total is not! less than three billions a year. The banks and the Investment houses have n great role to play in wisely selecting | foreign investments and intelligently ; popularizing them with our investors. | The financial change in the position | of the United States brought about by ; the war is one of its most significant results. In the period from the war's outbreak to the time that we ourselves entered the struggle, this count: bought back of our own securities held | abroad about two and one-half billions, It purchased the obligations of fore sovermments, to a total of some 400,000,000,;;and now since our entry, our government has loaned our asso- ciates over seven and one-half milion This, with {he increase of foreign bank | credits, makes a total change in our situation measured by » about twelve | and one-half billion dollars. The highest estimate of the amount | of foreign’ investment ‘iu this country, of which I know, placed the total at fiyé ang one-half billions... We have now paid’ off that debt, and viewing! our, position internationally, have sev- | en billions more to our credit. GOVERNMENT'S ATTITUDE. We are facing a time when there is going to be the greatest need for the | wisest governmental attitude toward | business,and toward this whole subject of reconstruction. .

Two years later he became cashier im the First National bank of Casselton, and in 1884 he was elected; reasurer of Cass county, in which position he served for three years. In 1890 he was the unanimous nominee of the republican party for the gov- ernor of the state of North Dakota, which Avas created in 1889, ‘and he was elected by a big majority. Ten years before he had entered the territory of North Dakota with ,$65 and his young wife, formerly Miss Carrie F. Cleveland of Minnesota, whom he had just wed, as his sole assets. He en- tered the office of governor a wealthy man as riches went in those days, and his administration was an exemplary one.

D., being closed a month, the Washburn schools were reopened on’ Monday. in McLean county to be reopened, and the prospects are that some of them will remain closed until December. The Washburn school board has tak- en extra precautions to guard the health of the pupils.

No pupil is allowed to enter school where there is a ‘case in the family where he or she belongs. These rules, of course, keep down at- tendance, but the board feels the best interests of the public are thus Served. - Washburn is thankful there have not been any serious cases yet, and the attacks are becoming milder.
