THE SON OF A PROPHET

Joseph Smith, dead in Missouri at the age OF eighty-two, wa the
son Of Joseph Smith, prophet and seer, who, born in 1905, organized
the Mormon church in 1880. This strange institution, embracing rehg-
ious, political and social theories and practices that shocked American
sentiment for man years. was, like Milerism and Spiriusm, a product
Of Western New York.
Foor wen years before the organization of the church, says the
New York World, the elder Smith had see visions and received ghost
y revelations, and from these and certain alleged tablets he wrote the
various books o which the Mormon hierarchy a founded. Although
the Later-Day Saints, as they called themselves, increased rapidly, no
body liked them as neighbors, and they made exoduses first to Ohio,
then to Missouri, then to illinois, and at length, after the assassination CT
the Prophet by a mob in 1874, to Utah. #tr
Poygamy had been openly proclaimed in 1S3, II of it's chief
advocates being Brigham Young n apostle. On Smiths death his son
claimed the succession, but Youngs influence greater, and under
his leadership the church vas so strengthened as on several occasions
to Compel the use of federal troops against their Dante bands and other
so-ca1ed avengers. The Edmunds law putting N end to polygamy took
effect in 1882.
The Joseph Smith O dead denounced the heresies of THE Brig
hamnes, including poygamy, and instituted in 1860 a re-organized
church which, although fanahcal, has escaped public hostility. He is
said to have been a sincerely pious man.

, AWFUL LOSSES IN MINING

Three thousand mel e killed and 100000 injured in the mining
and metarurgical industries of this country during the year ended June
80, 1914 the annual report of the director of the bureau of mines states.
The report makes this significant comment:
"One-haf of these fatalities and three-fourths of the injuries may
be regarded as easily preventab1e. The money loss from the accidents
may be estimated at not less than $12O000D a year and this loss must
ultimately be paid by the consumers of mineral products throughout the
country"
Preventive measures will have to be based o Investigations made
by technically trained men, but the bureau lacks the funds necessary to
make the Investigations, the report adds.
Through the study of coal nine explosions and the work at tie
governments experimental mine, four types of explosion-stopping de-
vices wered developed. ia
Mine-rescue training was given 2S26 miners, and first aid inNruc-
ton and training to $3.50, brigging the total trained by the bureau since
its organization in 1910 to 247o5.
