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) (lied at his home here
early today, after a long illness. Not­
withstanding his
(illness,
WAS PIONEER LEADER.
Joseph Fielding S^mlth 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 Smith was its nominal
head, and laid claim to the authority
of the original Mormon prophet, Joseph
Smith, his uncle. Tills cluim was dis­
puted by several apostate organizations,
'including the Missouri branch, at the
liead of which was Joseph Smith, son
of the prophet, who died in 1914.
With the death of both Smiths, has
/passed probably the last of the Mor
anon leaders* whose birth occurred prior
to the- settlement of the onlt 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 which
Stormed the jail in Carthage, 111..
Where the two were nonfilled shortly
after they began to preach plurality of
wives. When his mother, with the rfjt
of the Mormons, were driven fr^ifc
Nauvoo, 111., the 8-years-old Joseph
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. Ho was sent
on a, mission to Hawaii when only 15
years old.
He entered the nuny. whiflh. JutflWUl.
despatched to intercept the United
States troops which were about to in­
vade Utah, and performed active sen*-,
ice
hb
a scout, harassing the federal
expedition until the president's procla­
mation ended th6 "Mormon war."
In 1800, after/the supreme court had
upheld the Edmunds-Tucker act snak­
ing f-julygainy unlawful- in the terri
tories-r-whieh resulted iu the imprison­
ment oil more than 1,000 MormOl'is-r
President Woodruff of the church Is­
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
iof his wives had borne children since
that time, but he reiterated tfiat no
plural marriages had been performed
hy officers of the" Mormon church or
sanctioned to be performed by the
^church since 1880.
Aside from his religious activities,
Smith wa#, several times a 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.
In 1918 President Smith had five
living wives, although he. had been mar­
ried six times. Of his 43 children .10
were living and he hrfd 91 grandchil­
dren.
ORANT MAY SUCCEED.
Hebcr J. Grant, president of the
quorum of twelve apostles of the
Church of Latter Day Saints (Mor
mfrn) church, is regarded as likely to
succeed to the presidency, precedent
having established his succession. In
every case slnctf 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 trhstee in trt^st.
The first presidency comprises the
president of the church, and two coun­
selors, appointed by the president.-. In
most instances they have been chosen
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
coiutseloi's. If they arc selected 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 tbqir places in that body, and the
only vacancy existing in the quorum is
that of the newly elected president.
At present the first and second coun­
selors, Anthon H. Lund, and Charles
W. Penrose are member? 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
ization: The, measure goes Thusrday

The highest estimate of the amount

iof which I know, placed the total at

WORLD'S DEMAND FOR FOOD, RAW
MATERIALS AND FACTORY PRODUCTS
WILL EXCEED SUPPLY—VANDERLIP
BY FRANK A. VANDERLIP.
President of the National City Bank,
New York.
(Written, for ^he N. iE. A.)
The first great trade influence that
we are likely to see immediately is a a
insistent demand for food, for raw
materials and for certain raaqufactur-
1
edcts from abroad.
That demand will be so insistent
that it must be met. It will not be
congned to the belligerent countries,
for the war has dislocated commerce
the world over.
If we are to sell to other nations
great amounts of our products, raw
materials and manufactures, the ques­
tion must at once arise, in view of ex­
isting international financial positions,
as to how other nations are to p'.iy for
what they need. Whatever is bought
must in some way be paid for. J.his
mqst either be by the sale or goods
to us, by the export of gold ^tous, or
by floating with us in some form,
credit obligations. They canuot at
once provide goods in sufficient amount
to pay for what they need from us.
Certainly they have not the gold 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.
Our ability to develop a great for­
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
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 sav­
ings to investment in foreign securi­
ties. I believe that the total is not
less than three billions a year. The
banks and the investment houses have
a 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 ils most significant
results. In the period from the war's
outbreak to the time that we ourselves
filtered the struggle, this country
bought back of our own securities held
abroad about two and one-half billions.
It purchased the obligations of foreign
^coveBrmients, to a total of some $2,
200,00|,jfl0,- ijaml now since our entry,
our government has loaned our asso­
ciates over seven and one-half mllions.
This, with the increase of foreign bank
credits, makes a total change in our
situation measured by about twelve
and one-half billion dollars.
GOVERNMENT'S ATTITUDE.
We are facing a time when there is
going to be the greatest need for the
wisest governmental attitude toward
buslnessand toward this wlole subject
of reconstruction. Are we to continue
ORPHAN WAIF
DRUMMER BOY
TO GOVERNOR
Career of Andrew Horace Burke
Might Have Been Plot for
Optic Tale
The life' of Andrew H. Burke, for­
mer governor of North Dakota, whoso
death at Roswell, N. M., was announc­
ed in Monday's Associated Press dis­
patches, might form the plot for one of
the Oliver Optic "Do or Die" series.
Born In New York city in 1S50 left
an orphan at the age of four held
until nine as a ward of the Children's
Ai society at Reynolds island, whence
he was farmed out to a well-to-do
country family near Noblesville, Ind.
enlisting in his early teens as a drum­
mer boy with *ari Indiana regiment in
the Civil Yar returning, still a waif,
at the end of that conflict to the only
home he knew, where he emulated the
boyhood of Lincoln, by toiling through
the long hours of the^day and study­
ing by candle-light at night, young
Burke finally worked his way through
Asbury college, now DePauw univer­
sity. and in 1880, still a young man,
followed Greeley's advice and came
west to grow up with the country.
Burke located at Casselton, in Cass
county, first as a bookkeeper in a coun­
try store. Two years later he became
cashier in the First National bank of
Casselton, and In 1884 he was elected
treasurer 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
electecl by a big majority. Ten years
before he had entered the territory
of North Dakota with $65 and his
young wife, formerly Miss Carrie P.
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.
The former governor was a 33rd
degree Mason, prominent, in tfce coun­
cil of the Episcopal church and for
many years prior to, his retirement
from active business a financial power
in the Red River valley.
GIVEN REPRESENTATION.

America, in a resolution announced
today.

CAN THE WORLD PAY?

tities by the war-torn nations.
They look to America to in

How will they pay?

the workshops bare and the workmen

I League of Nations take stock of the
I whole world's store of raw material
and for a time ration each nation a«
cording to its needs?
Those are all questions of tre
mentions import, and we should
have .well-considered- opinions, for
we caiuiqt expect to have the gov
ernijaeiit have sounder judgment
tliaii the sum-total of public opin­
ion.
The problem of demobilization is go­
ing to be one of great importance. We
have found the operation of the selec­
tive draft to be on the whole satis­
factory. Should the selective principle
which would bring back into commerce
and industry first those men best fit­
ted and most needed^ be applied to the
demobilization process?
Wo liave our duty towards recon­
struction as clearly as. we had our
duty towards the war. Let us con­
tinue to be altruistic. If we render
£o the world a great service we can
rest easy about our reward. Wo have
a' great opportunity. Let us see what
we can make of this opportunity, not
what we can make out: of it.
WASHBURN SCHOOL
IS REOPENING
Washburn, N. D., Nov. 10.—After
being closed a month, the Washburn
I schools were reopened on Monday.
This probably is the first town school
in McLean county to be reopencdi 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. Any child show­
ing ^a sign of cold Is sent home until
the physician ascertains if it is n. case
of the influenza. No pupil is aflowed
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 castes yet, and the
attacks are becoming milder.

IN1KERMANY
Believed Former Emperor May
Become Center of Reaction
When Revolution Quiets
London, Nov. 19.—The rumor that
William Hohenzollern will return to
Germany has caused a stir here. The
fear has been that the kaiser sooner or
later would become the center of a re­
action in Germany when the present
revolutionary storm has blown over. On
the other hand the fact of the former
ruler placing himself or being placed
in the hands of the new riders of Ger­
many would l^e .welcomed in other
quarters.
These rulers, the Morning Telegraph
contends, would be able to execute-jus­
tice upon him. There is everywhere
^agreement that the ex-emepror's pres­
ence in Holland is intollerable and
that he must be placed in a position
where he will be powerless to do fur­
ther mischief. There are demands at
The Hague that he be deported.

The former royal family has been
unable to obtain any meat, milk, or
bread in the neighboring villages, and

Chicago, Nov. 10.—"The American
people do not yet realize th'at the ar­
mistice brings the United States face
to face with a gigantic problem in
food ^production and conservation
which' dwarfs all previous accom­
plishments In that direction," said
Thomas 10. Wilson yesterday.
Mr. Wilson, president of Wilson &
Co., Is chairman of ttie packer's com­
mittee supervising co-operation of the
meat industry with the government.
While pointing out the resources avail­
able in American, lie said:
'"The president's address to congress
discloses that the supreme war coun­
cil at Versailles, in arraning armistice
terms, has pledged this country and
its allies to a task which will tax the
food resources of the world on a scale
never known before.
"Peace will not add a singje,pound

final peace terms are signed, food ill

1000 people in Russia, the Balkans and!sonally
elsewhere, who long have been threat-
ened with starvation but to whom it
was too perilous to ship food.
"Now, augmenting these new claim­
ants are the hunger-maddened crowds

son points out that our aid is essen­
tial to aver disorder and save the re­
forms for which we have fought from
anarchy-like destruction. Shipping of
tiio central nations soon will avail­
able for additional exports.
•'How acute is the situation? m«& be
gathered from government Calcula­
tions of our resources. There are just,
so many cattle, so many sheep, so
many hogs and so much grain in this
country. The problem is not how to
ship it but liow to make it go around.
Here are the latest statistics of live­
stock on the farms:
"Cattle GG.830.000.
"Sheep 48,900,000.
"Hogs 71,87-1,00.
"This is not as greatly in excess of
the normal figures as one would Wish.
In 191.3, there were 56,527,000 cattle,
51,482,000 sheep and 61,178,000 hogs.
"But already, without the new fac­
tors, the presence of 2,200,000 Amer­
ican soldiers in Europe, added to the
necessities of our allies, has brought
our exports to an unbelievable figure.
Exports of bacon in the first seven
months of this year were not fat from
being equal to the total bacon exports
for the five years preceding the war.
"These heavy asportations have forc­
ed us to speed up production to such
a high pitch that a further large ex­
pansion canot be effected with the
same facility that would be possible
in slack times. Each additional pound
of beef sent abroad means strenuous
effort at- home. Even South America
production will feel the strain. We
must awaken ourselves immediately
to the seriousness of the situation.
Whether it means the government will
be forced to continue its policy of
maintaining minimum prices on hogs,
or perhaps even to establish maximum
prices, no one can say now.
"It does mean, however, that the
farmers must produce fls never before
but the packers must continue their
night and day shifts and manufacture
as never before, and that the Amer­
ican public must co-operate as never
before—if the world is to be fed and
saved for democracy.
"We have been selling our stuff to
the governments of democracy at
prices controlled by the United States
Food' Administration, and, although it
seems not generally known, our latest
figures how that We have been serving
meat to the American civilians well
within the profit margin fixed by the
government.

PETAIN A MARSHAL
Paris, Nov. 19.—General Petain, commander-in-chief of the
French armies, today was named Marshal of France, at a meeting
of the cabinet, presided over by President Poincaire.
The raising of General Petain to Marshal will increase the
number of Marshals to three, the others being Marshal Joffre,
and Marshal Foch. Marshal Petain was on May 15, 1917, ap­

French front, which command he has since held, while* Marshal
Foch as Generalissimo commanded the French and other allied
armies throughout the entire field of operations.
Amsterdam, Nov. 19.—A dispatch to the Daily Mail from The
Hague reports that the German soldiers' council in Antwerp
Thursday last adopted a resolution that the soldiers' and work­
men's council in Berlin demand extradition of the former emperor
and former crown prince as well as certain generals.
The resolution expresses belief that the ex-Hrier exercises'•
too much influence in Holland and forms the center of counter rev­
olutionary intrigue.
The Daily Express sees the possibility of a plot to trick the
allies and create a federation far exceeding in strength and re­
sources the former German Empire.
This newspaper contends that the former emperor is back of
Chancellor Ebert, former Chancellor Maximilian of Baden, and
Field Marshal Von Hindenburg and it lays emphasis on the fact
that the emperor signed no formal abdication and issued no vale­
dictory message.

Order, it said, was maintained with an iron hand, and robberies
