Forty-eight Years in Office
Mr. Smith was for three years coun
ty auditor of Warrick county, Indiana,
beginning in 1849, and came to Minne
sota in 1853 as private secretary to
Willis A. Gorman, territorial governor,
his brother-in-law, which office he held
i for three years. He was appointed by
Governor Gorman as county treasurer
of Ramsey county in 1856 and held
1
that office by subsequent elections till
1868. He was a member of the state
house of representatives in 1872, mem
ber of the St. Paul city council from
1883 to 1887, state senator from 1887
to 1891, mayor of St. Paul from 1887
to 1892, and from 1894 to 1896, post
master of St. Paul from 1896 to 1900,
mayor again from 1900 to 1908, county
commissioner from 1911 till his death.
Counting twice the four years that he
was state senator and mayor of St.
Paul at the same time, he was in office
forty-eight years between the ages of
i 22 and 85. During thirty years of that
time he was also in the banking busi-
iness.
Betrieres Only Defeat
His only defeat for any public office
was in 1892 when Colonel Frederick
P. Wright obtained a majority of 3,800
i over his vote for mayor of St Paul,
This total was completely reversed
when Mr. Smith defeated Colonel
Wright in 1904 for mayor by 4,200
majority.
Mr. Smith endeared himself to all
who knew him, not only by kindly dis.
position but by his voluntary sacrifice
of all his property when the bank
1
of Minnesota, of which he was vice
i president, failed in 1896. Mr. Smith
I BJQL OALG tnrnnri all
for which he was liable under the law
but every bit of property he possessed
and thereafter lived on the salary he
received as postmaster and later as
mayor and county commissioner.
It is believed that no man in Minne
sota has as long a record as a public
official. In politics he was a democrat,
but when he ran for office his support
was largely non-partizan.
Mr. Smith was born in Boonville,
Ind., in 1827. His father, William
Smith, was a native of England, and
his mother, Elizabeth (Graham) Smith
was a member of an old Virginia fam
ily.
Mr. Smith was graduated from the
law department of the University of
Indiana in 1850.
He was married in 1851 to Miss
Mary F. Stone of Bloomington, Ind.
The body of Mr. Smith laid in state
in the St. Paul Masonic Temple Sat
urday from 10 a. m. to 2 p. m., when
Masonic funeral services were con
ducted. Mayor H. P. Keller called a
special meeting of the city council and
county commissioners Friday for flor
al tribute and resolutions. Assembly
man T. R. Kane and C. D. O'Brien,
former Mayor will speak.

Robert A. Smith, St. Paul's "Grand
Old Man" Dies at Daughters'
Home Wednesday
Robert A. Smith, former mayor of

ough, Summit avenue and West Sixth

MINNESOTA
Immigration Commissioner Maxfield
Gives Out Interesting
Figures
Some comparative figures compiled
by H. J. Maxfield, Commissioner of
Immigration of farm statistics, cover
ing the period of thirty years, from
1880 to 1910, are particularly inter
esting as they show remarkable
strides of agricultural development in
Minnesota during that period. From
92,386 farms in Minnesota in 1880 to
156,137 in 1910 gives a gain of 63,751
farms or an average annual increase
of 2,125 farms. Of the 92,386 farms
in 1880 but 54.1 per cent of the land
was improved. However, 1910 figures
show that of the 156,137 farms, 71.0
per cent are improved, a gain of about
17 per cent.
In 1880 there was 7,246,693 acres of
these farm lands improved, while 1910
figures show that there are 19,643,533
acres, a gain of 12,396,840 acres or an
average annual increase of 413,228
acres. Perhaps the most remarkable
figures of all are the values in 1880,
Minnesota farm lands with improve
ments, including the buildings, a
mounted to $193,724,260 and in 1910
it had reached the sum of $1,262,441,
426, a gain of $1,068,717,166, and an
annual increase of $35,657,238.
The value of implements and ma
chinery on Minnesota farms in 1880
was $13,089,783 and in 1910 it amount
ed to $52,329,165, or a gain of $39,
239,382 an increase of about 40 per
cent.
Minnesota live stock values in 1880
was $.31,904,821 against $161,641,146,
a gain of $129,736,325 and an average
annual increase of $4,324,544. To
total the whole, including farm lands,
improvements and property, we find
that in 1880 these figures were $238,
718,864 against $1,476,411,737 in 1910,
a gain of $1,237,692,873, or an average
annual increase of $41,256,429.
MANKATO SURE OF ARMORY
Not Yet Known How Large An Ap

Governor is Positive
Mankato is to have an appropriation

Captain A. O. Scott of Company H.

from Governor Eberhart:
"I shall do everything in my power
to assist you in securing an appropri
ation for the Mankato armory and
regret very much that the application
was not made early so that we could
have had an armory by this time.
However, we are sure to get one in

in this matter, I am very sincerely

Helen Keller, born deaf, dumb and
blind, has almost fully surmounted
one of her handicaps, and will make
her first public appearance on the lec
ture platform at a socialistic meeting**
in Montclair, N. J., tomorrow night.
Although Miss Keller has been able to
speak a little during the past year, the
development of her voice, under the
care of a singing teacher, has nom
reached the stage where her word®
will carry in an auditorium.
"The belief that the loss of one
sense increases the powers of the oth
ers is a fallacy," said Miss Keller last
night. "The habit of patience is the
only thing that helps on* to bear the
1
limitation."
Miss Keller's teacher explained that
the delicate vibrations of her lips,
nose and throat were too illusive t*»
be reproduced. It was only by saying
the sound over and over again thai
she learned to talk.
TEACHING FARMERS FARMING
W. W. Sivright reports that on his
recent trip to Illinois he had a good
opportunity to observe the working of!
the county superintendent of agricul
ture law of that state. Kane county,
for instance, pays a farming expert
$3,000 per year and supplies him with
an automobile in which he rides
around disseminating knowledge on
farming both scientific and practical.
Visiting farmers as they call for him
samples of soil are taken from sever
al places on their lands, chemically
analyzed and a report made showing
he crops to which the soil is best
adapted. He inspects the fodder on
the place and specifies a balanced ra
Mon and instructs in numberless ways,
instead of the farmer going to school
tne school is brought to the farmer in
a way that has made the law the mokt
nopular of any ever written into the
tatutes of the state of Illinois. The
..cpert is the busiest man in the coun
ty and that he has added thousands of
collars to the incomes of its farmers
