certain utilities and for reorgan-
ization and simplification OF gov
Iernment.
When the banks closed in De-

TO demand a plan under which
they could be reopened-and the
small depositors paid off,
PROOF OF ESTEEM
His steadying influence or other
|councilmen, as well as city Of
ficials, was considered so valuable
that when he was offered the
county clerkship in 1885, to re-
place the late Elmer B. O'Hara,
his fellow councilmen Immediately
began taking up a purse TO make
up the difference between Smiths
council salary. of $1,000 and the
SIS, 900 which he would receive as
clerk.
Councilman John c. Lodge said
Smiths loss TO council would be
a calamity and offered to contrib
ute part of his salary to the purse:
Smith, however, turned down
the clerkship, declaring that when
he was elected to council he had
made a contract with the people
of Detroit to serve them for two
years and would not break this
contract to accept a higher salary.
DEFEATED BY READING
In 1887 he ran for mayor. but
was defeated, mainly because of
his success in his long fight against
the gas company.
The company had agreed TO in
troduce natural gas and reduce the
rates, but, although the reduction
was about 100000 year, the
voters decided ii was not enough
and elected Richard w. Reading.
The setback, however, was only
temporary, and when Smith ran
for council again he led the ticket.
Although Smith was of medium
size and quiet voiced--just the OPP
poSite from the conventional pic
ture of politician, he was quick
to fight for what he thought was
right, not only verbally but also
with his fists.
Several times, police and friends
had TO separate him and other Of
ficialS who had run out of words.
FAILING HEALTH
In recent years his health has
been poor. In 1886 he made trip
TO Germany, after his eyesight
began TO fail and underwent an
operation to restore it. He was
also afflicted with diabetes and for
several years has literally lived in
hospitals, appearing at the city
hall in the day time for meetings,
then returning to the hospital to
sleep.

but also took firm stand against

ELECTED TO SENATE
After a short term as chief
county clerk. Smith left politics 10
make some money and was so sue
Icessful in building and selling
houses that he was able to return
to politics and was elected to the
state senate without opposition.
For his work for President
Harding in the 1920 elections,
Smith was named postmaster, and
promptly went TO work TO get
more money for postal workers
here and TO enlarge postal facilities
to handle the rapidly increasing
business.
In 1924 he resigned the post
mastership and jumped into the
special mayoralty election being
held, probably the most bitter cleo
ton ever held in Detroit.
The Ku Klux Khan fought Smith
so bitterly that il even burned a
fiery cross on the lawn of his
home. But Smith was elected and,
among other things, started his
long campaign to get gas rates in
Detroit reduced.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT
Defeated for mayor successfully
in 1927, 1929 and in the special
election in 1880, Smith was elected
to common council in 1881, and ex-
cept for a two-year period, has
been in the council ever since and
has been president of it much of
the time.
In the course of his unsuccessful
for governor in 1884
Smith said something that typified
the spirit in which he has acted as
4 public official.

friends were numbered in the

Some friends OF Smith even said
he could call more than 10000

But friends and honor were all
that Smith got out of his long
years in politics.
Unlike many who use their con-
.nectionS" IN politics as n means
toward enrlc hing themselves,
Smith died a comparatively poor
man. with money still owing on the
home he purchased more than Is
years ago.
LIKE ALGER HERO
Smith was born on the old east
side of Detroit. His early life
reads like an Alger heros.
His father died when Smith was

PETERS TROUBLES GROW

Peters first glimpse of Can

amazing eyes of hers. that rang
ed from q clear gray to a deep,
almost purple according to her
moods, appeared at their largest
and darkest because OF the
smudges of WEAKNESS beneath
them. Her face was pale and
she appeared tired, but there
could be no doubt that she was
happy. They met in front Of the
nurses home and there were
people passing so they greeted
formally; but her glance flung
its arms about him and the pres
sure of her hands did the rest.

She couldn't leave the
grounds, she said. but they were
otherwise free to spend the
whole afternoon together if he
wished. She was off until 5.

affectionate things like kissing
the smudges under her eyes, sug-
gested, "Sleep? Aren't you sup

She dismissed that airily. II

pretty much tied to town. He

though, and stopped off to see

Candace giggled again. She's
furious with me-" she confided.
"She practically put me out and
warned me never to darken her
door again when / told her l

grew suddenly serious. "You
don't feel that way about nurs-
ing, do you, Peter? What did
you honestly think, when !
wrote you what ! was doing?"
Peters heart commenced a
sudden humping that interfered
with his breathing. A less auspi-
cious time, just now when he'd
learned that he had scarcely a
cent in the world and when, for
all he knew, he might have to
assume some of Bruce's obliga-
tions, could scarcely have been
found for acquainting Candace
with his feelings; but the oppor-
tunity she offered was too great
and he could not, he found help
himself.
He said meaningly, trying for

He was totally unprepared for

blush had brought tears brim-
