ST. PAUL PIONEER IS DEAD
Robert A. Smith, for Fifteen Years
Mayor OF That City, Succumbs
to Pneumonia.

Former Mayor Robert A. Smith,
one of the most prominent pioneers of
St. Paul, both in politics and bust
ness, is dead. Mrs. G. w. Copley, his
daughter, was the only one present at
his bedside when the end came. Al
though he had been failing rapidly
FOR several days he rallied and his
death later came very suddenly. 1t
was due to exhaustion, caused by his
extreme age and the weakening eff.
fects Of an attack OF pneumonia from
which he was just recovering. He
was eighty-fve years of age, was
mayor of~St. Paul five terms and coun-
ty commissioner at the time OF his
death.
The death of Robert A. Smith re.
moves man who spent half cen.
fury in public service. For three years
he was auditor of Warwick county,
Ind; for three years he was secretary
to Willis A. German, territorial gov.
ernor OF Minnesota, which included
the functions of territorial librarian.
Following this he was for twelve years
treasurer of Ramsey county, and three
years he represented the residents OF
the old Third ward in the city council
As representative in the legislature
he served two years, while to this
must be added four years as state
senator. A similar term was spent az
the postmaster of St. Paul. And, ii
nally. Robert A. Smith was mayor OF
st. Paul for fifteen years. +
His two defeats were for mayor and
lieutenant governor. His only defeat
at the hands of St. Paul voters came
in 1892. Although in his defeat FOL
the office of lieutenant governor, how
ever, he carried Ramsey county, while
his running mate for governor lost the
county by over 1000 votes. ~

There are cities in Minnesota out
side of the twin cities that are favor
ed by the railroads in certain ways,
and also enterprises that in one way
or another receive favors. Tt is not
strange, therefore, that such localities
and such concerns should respond to
the railroad appeal on the distance
tariff bill. If it were true as one rail-
road man claimed, that the distance
tariff would force industries to the
twin cities, the twin city papers would
not be against it so strongly. The
"natural" a3"antagcs claimed by the
large cities ION" since ::ecame a small
factor in ,2e:4 growth. Rank discrimi-
nation and fcvoritiS have been the
principal <2"e"c fo@ th2 growth Of
Minnesott> : big towns. So far as the
railroo''s are concerned, we do not be-
leve they care very much about the
money involved IL The question. That
they will get in one form or another,
what they do not want to lose is the
}5reme ndous power Of discrimination
and favoritism between localities, q
power which no creature of the state
should have. Such performance as
the 500 Line is continually guilty Of,
in avoiding established trading points
and conducting TOWNSHIP booming
scheme as side issue for the fortunate
Officers who have stock in the town
site concern, and this without regard
to the needs Of the country traversed,
would never be allowed under proper
legislation. It is the power the rail-
roads hate to lose that is bothering
them the most in the matter of the dis
~tance tariff. They could no longer
grant favors to one industry as against
a similar one elsewhere, nor favor
some town where the railroad officers
happen to have got in early on real
estate. Towns that are dead and want
to stay dead, or who are so favored by
railroads that they care little about
the exactions put on their neighbors,
may want to fight the distance tariff
bill. All the rest should support it.

this been the case in Iowaf The law

it Iowa has become the greatest agri-

land sells at higher price than any
other territory in the Union except a

Low corn rates, low hog rates, low
cattle rates have made Iowa the great

railroad company to charge the same
rate per ton per mile for the same
distance on all commodities shipped
within the state. In other words, if
they charge a low rate on one part of
