JOSEPH E.sM|TH THE
MORMON HEAD DEAD

Salt Lake City, Nov. 19--Joseph F.
Smith, president of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints,
the church organization of the Mor-'
mons, died early today after long
illness.
Joseph Fielding Smith was presi-
dent 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 scat
tered in colonies throughout the world
to the number of some 100000. The
church is ruled by council, but Smith
was its nominal head, and laid claim
Z q the aIlthnritu of. tha as;; ap;,aol Ma.
mon prophet Joseph Smith, his uncle.
This claim was disputed by several
apostate organizations, including II
Missouri branch, at the head 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 Nor
mon leaders whose birth occurred
prior to the settlement of the cult in
Utah. Joseph Fielding Smith was
l81 years old. His father, Hyrum
Smith, and his uncle, the original pro-
phet Smith, were shot to death by
a mob which stormed the Jail in Cart
hage, Mo-, where the two were con-
fined shortly after they began to
preach plurality of wives. When his
mother, with the rest of the Nor
mons, was driven from Nauvoo, ILL.,,
the eight-year-old Joseph Fielding
Smith drove an ox-team across the
plain into Utah and became a hero
boy, and then missionary, when, in
1852, Brigham Young established the
headquarters of the Mormon sect at
Salt Lake City, Utah. He was sent
on mission to Hawaii when only Is
years old.
He entered the army which Young
despatched to intercept the United
States troops which were about to in
wade Utah, and performed active SER
vice as a scout, harrassing the FEEDER
al Exposition until the Presidents pro-
clamation ended the Mormon War;
Joseph Fielding Smith was ar
avowed polygamist. According to his
own testimony in the United States
Senate inquiry into the case of Reec
Smoot, United States Senator from
, Utah, Smith had five wives. 1t is sale
his children numbered 43.
In 1890, after the Supreme Cour
had upheld the Edmunds-Tucker Ac
t making polygamy unlawful in the ter
= Iritories-which resulted in the i'm
: prisonment of more than 1000 Nor
v mons-President Woodruff of tn,
e church issued manifesto declarin,
that polygamy was no longer practic
ed by the Mormons. In public ad
monitions, President Smith uphel
this manifesto, but as to his own case
. he said, before the Smoot inquiry
that although it was contrary to tn
law of the land, he had had a plurs
family for many years and he pre-
ferred to meet the consequences c
: the law rather than to abandon hi
ic children and their mothers. He te!
a titled that he had eleven children Dor
since 1890, and that all of his wive

must be wiling afIe lssiiy fo do our
best. We have paid enough money
into the Tampa hospitals to go long
way in support of one at home. We
always go "over the top" and l feel
certain that we can in the case under
consideration. I know that the first
expense can be readily met. The I'M
portant question is one of mainten-
ance. For we all know that the run
ming expense of such an institution is
no small item.
However, in my opinion, this can be
simplifed. 1t has been done in less
enterprising places, it can be done
here.
| have studied this matter from ev
cry standpoint, L have investigated
the organization and working Of va
rious plans, and l am fully satisfied
that the one have to suggest is the
most practical. My plan is as follows:
After the ground has been secured,
the building erected and equipped, a
head tax on all employees may be col
lected through the employers and
placed in the hospital fund. This tax
may be prorated according to the
wages received by the employe and
deducted each week from his wages,
thereby creating a fund from which
weekly benefits may be paid and the
expenses of the hospital maintained
This method would guarantee the care
and sustenance of families bereft Of
bread winner, and at the same time
care for patients who have no fami
lies, in case of sickness. The charge
should be graduated according to g
persons responsibilities.
This matter may be considered by
the board of trade, civic societies ano
by the citizens en- masse, adopting
such resolutions as will give it the
proper status to insure working sue
lcess.
You may question the practicabilitS
of this plan. l would say, however
that it is practical and may be easily
accomplished if the citizens want 1t
IIf they wish to place themselves ant
their community in a position where
their afflicted ones and their familie:
will be cared for, suffering relieved
and inconvenience overcome, ant
this, too, without adding burdens tt
the taxable property of the city. Il
this way many who do not own rea
estate, who are at present exemp
, from taxation, but who owe responsi
, bilities to the community, would b
called upon to assist in the work.
t In certain places citizens have take
5 this matter up, and it has been foun

Editor Leader:
Pardon me for intruding on your

paper; but l, have a few words to
say to the people of Tarpon Springs
and | know of no better way than
through the columns of The Leader.
I'have no doubt that all citizens of
this city realize the need of a public
hospital. The recent epidemic of in
fiuenza must have brought its lesson,
and brought US to a realization of our
needs in this respect. Much of the
suffering, several of the deaths, would
undoubtedly have been avoided and an
equalization of the work and respon-
sibilities accomplished, if the city had
been provided with adequate and suit
able hospital facilities where many Of
the sick could have been cared for. 1t
would have been a matter of econ
omlcs in labor, money and life. We
all know that many sick pople were
without proper care because help was
Some failed TO volunteer
their services through fear, others
through inability to do so. We remem-
oer the wonderful heroism and work |
Of the Red Cross, and the difficulty |
hey experienced in eniisting aid in
he way of nurses.
Now, with hospital, with properly !
equipped rooms, great conservation |
If labor and money would result and |
suffering and death would have been
ahyiatea in ,anany eases.

EMPEROR BEGS FOR JUST ONE
 YEAR MORE IN WHICH TO WIN
In Birthday Response Kaiser Wii- helm Asks People to Hang To-
 gether in Serious Time.

London, Jan. 29.--Emperor Will- jam, in telegram responding to birthday congratulations from Pres ident Kaempf of the Reichstag says
 Receive my warmest thanks for the loyal wishes with which you have again gladdened me on the Reichstag's behalf.
 Tt being a serious and decisive year with proud thankfulness for the immense successes which have been gained by our indefatigable warriors and their brilliant leaders, know to what extent the loyal work of the people at home was contributed Co these successes and how much distress and anxiety had to be borne by everyone. Those are imperishable pages of glory which last year were added to German his- tory and in which the great army leaders, the simple workers and the lonely widows inscribed their names.
 My ardent daily wish is that my beloved people, without arrogance but with a deep consciousness of their power and right, may exter- nally and internally in the wish of self-diseipline preserve their union until the final victory of arms lays the foundation for the glad news of the unfolding of their mental and economic power.

EOR COUNTY TREASuRER.

In this issue will be found the formal announcement of c. L. Baker as candidate for the office of Treasurer of Polk county. subject to the pleasure of the Democratic voters at the coming primary.
 Doc Baker, as he is known far and wide, is a veterinary by pro- fession and this calling has given him a wide acquaintance in Polk county. He has never held nor asked for public office in this coun- ty, but has frequently assisted Sheriff II. W. Finger as special dep uty in cases where a good man was wanted and has been found the right sort and doubtless will per farm his duties conscientiously if the people choose him to care for their funds.
