Funeral of Smith Highlights Simplicity Over Flaunt
The funeral of Mr. Smith, late Leader of the Commons, was marked by stark simplicity. Mrs. Smith rejected pomp. the hearse was driven by a former bribery convict and the coffin later moved oddly to a freight truck. At Hambleden the interment occurred as many officials attended Westminster Abbey mourning Old Morality. In London, other dispatch notes report large numbers of destitute peasants in Russia and modest Tory gains in Buteshire elections.
