His father had been for many years :
dry goods merchant in that city, and I'll
son was expected to follow in his foot
steps. He soon tired Of il, however, an
returned 10 Newark. He became inter
ested in the manufacture OF patent anC
enameled leather at Newark. Shortly
after the firm of j. H. Halsey d Smith
was formed. To-day the firm manufac-
lures an enormous amount OF patent and
enameled leather, and their product is
shipped TO all parts Of the world.
Ten years ago Mr.. Smith entered poll
tics. He had always been a Democra'
but as his influence widened he wa
called upon to fill municipal offices. IL
first office was that of Councilman o.
Newark in 1883. He was elected from q
Republican ward by a large majority
His excellent work in the Council gave
him increased popularity, and in the fol-
lowing fail he was nominated for Mayor.
Notwithstanding the fact that he wrote a
letter stating that he would not run. He
stood by his letter, and another candi-
date was nominated and elected. Later
he was elected President OF the ,NeNar
Board of Public Works. Othsr OF
fees in the gift OF the county an,
State were rendered to him, but he de
clined them all, preferring to attend &
his private business and TO do what h
could as a private citizen towards pro
noting the interests OF the Democratic
party. From a leader in municipa
affairs Mr.. Smith became a county leader,
and IL was under his management that
Essex county, in which Newark is
situated, which had long been a Republic
can stronghold, became Democratic.
From that time Mr.. Smiths power began
to be felt in State and national politics,
until he has come to be one of the leaders
OF New Jersey. Early in 1892 he favored
Gov. Hills nomination for the Presidency.
but long before the convention assembled
he yielded to the clamor Of the New Jer-
sey people for Cleveland and became an
ardent supporter of the President-e elect.
Mr.. Smith is wealthy and lives I'm q
handsome house in Newark, facing Wash
ington Park. His wife is a tall, hand.
some woman. They have had nine
children, but only five are living. In
personal Mr.. Smith is a rathe'
stout man, with a large, round, clean
shaven face. There is always a joll
twinkle in his eyes, and he has few enc
mics. He has a quiet, u~nassuming man
ner, but he rarely fails 10 accomplish L.

garden ofthe proprietor's house in the Via

both explosions were caused by a man
whom he discharged recently fran his
servica.

Coolidge's Tariff scheme.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. %. Rep
resentative Coolidge OF Massachusetts,
makes a novel suggestion as to the change
in the wood tariff to be made by the next
Congress. 1t is that instead OF making
the removal OF the duty on wool and the
CORES bonding reduction on the duty on
manufacturer goods take effect all at once,
that half OF he reduction in duty be made
TO take effect, say, I'm six months and the,
say, in a year. Several OF the Democrats
on the WAYS and means committee, to
whom Mr.Coolidge has advanced this idea,
regard IL as worthy of the highest con-
sideration.

man nature and understood its weak
nesses us well as he felt his own power
over men and his own scheming ability.
It is said that Smith was coarse and
ignorant but we can only Judge Of mans
true ability by what he accomplishes,
and the results Of Smiths work show
him to have been remarkable man.
He founded a religion that in sixty
years is nearly as strong numerically as
the Presbyterian which computes its age
by centuries. The Mormon church to-
day has millions in property; hundreds
OF missionaries PROSECUTING in nearly
every city on the globe and its every
member is an enthusiast, ready to do and
suffer for the creed.
The church was organized April 3, 1880,
at Fayette, Seneca county. New York,
with only six original members, viz:
Joseph Smith, Hyrum Smith, Samuel q.
Smith, Oliver Cawdry, Peter Whitmer.
Jr and David Whitmer.
Smith alleged that he received the
revelation on polyasmy in 1882, but be
did not announce it until 1913. He was
assassinated in 1874.
The introduction of polygamy caused
a rupture in the church that was never
healed and to day section OF the church

ent of Joe Smith, but it has no inter
course with the Utah branch which at.

A Subscriber on Tree Planting,
70 the Editor Of the WORLD:

70 the Editor Of the WORLD:
"Arbor Day" will soon be at hand and
it always iustifes an appeal for tree
planting. Will you not urge upon the
readers of the WORLD the Importance of
doing something in this direction?
Everybody loves trees and would be
glad to have them; and yet, except along
the Saline, there is hardly grove in
Trego county. The county has been
settled for dozen years and more. With
prompt and judicious planting there
might have been by this time scores of
nice groves, the trees 30 to 40 feet high.
Look at the trees on the farm of George
Galloway, o. A. Cortright, Sheriff Court
ney, Clement Young and several others
who might be mentioned! These show
what can be done. On one timber claim
on blackberry creek Cottonwood cuttings
that were set five years ago are now from
fifteen to twenty feet high, and the larg-
est have bodies eighteen inches in cir
conference.
None of these trees are in exceptional
locations, nor have they had unusual
care. They were planted on low ground
where the roots can always find moisture,
and they were protected from fire and
stock. That tells the whole story. There
are hundreds of acres in the county, just
as good for tree growing as any on the
farms mentioned, and where success is
just as certain. Why can't that ground
be used? x.
