is succeeded in Office by Mr.. Hilton,
one of his assistants.
Mr.. Smith was one Of the most
painstaking and conscier tious officials
the state has ever had. Always easily
approached, of an affable and demo-
cratic nature, he was popular Off
cial. Seldom was he named for an
office that he did not lead the ticket
in the election, and his early death
is doubtless due to his over working
himself. Mr.. Smith spent long hours
at his public duties, and since the
war began the extra duties thrust on
him as member Of the Public Safe
ty Commission and work on questions
growing out of the war and sedition
over the state made mis- duties SO
burdensome that he broke under the
strain.
Attorney General Smith was named
to the position in 1912, when Cover
nor Eberhart appointed him to fill a
vacancy caused by the resignation OF
George T. Simpson. He was elected
in 1914 and again in 1916, both times
being near the head of the ticket in
plurality.

Pastors Aid Third Loan

Rev. A. Schaller, pastor of ST..
Johns Lutheran Church of Redwood
Falls, attended conference with A.
R. Rogers, chairman of the general
Liberty Loan executive committee
last Tuesday, together with forty
two other Lutheran clergymen rep
resenting thirty Minnesota counties.
At this conference methods of rem
dering service by the clergymen to
the government were discussed. The
following resolution was adopted:
"Whereas, it is tenet of the Luth-
eran church which every Lutheran
minister of the gospel breaches and
teaches that Christians owe obedience
to their government in all matters
not contrary to Scripture, we, Luth-
eran ministers of the ninth federal
reserve district, pledge to our gov
ernment's executive committee our
assistance and cooperation in placing
the third Liberty Loan, by continu-
ing to preach publicly and privately

The nation must have educated men
and women to solve the problem OF
tomorrow.
"Every effort must be made to avoid
the grave mistake of European, ma
tions in depicting their trained lead
ership. England and Flance realize
the mistakes they made in this re-
spect. Larger amounts are now ap-
propriated for education in these
countries than were provided before
the war. Larger sums are used for
teachers salaries and pensions than
ever before. The English minister of
education recently said, That nation
which after the war employees best
teachers under the highest pay and
in the best system Of schools will be
the best governed, and therefore the
greatest nation
"The administration of the state
normal schools urges the people OF
this state to cooperate in all efforts
and activities which may be organ
lied to promote interest in teacher
