There are.about 88 million Catholics the United States, so all .Smith will need will be a few western states where religion don't count, either way. t ii.'t The south is afraid of Smith. They don't think he caff turn the country Upside down, but they fear thnt he might turn out to be the entering wedge. Raskob is not a democrat at heart. He's a Smith-ite, and so is DuPont. A Hoover Democrat is not neces . -?< sarily a Republican, mfie is only a Baptist or Methodist or Presbyterian who doesn't like a Catholic any too much, wet or dry. Most platforms are built on popularity-stilts, and no planks are used to any great .extent that might smother a vote, A good politician endeavors to find out what most of the voters want, and then builds his platform accordingly, and what he does after he's elected matters not. Farm relief is a very long, thick, heavy, knotty plank that both Hoover and Smith have in their platforms. Nobody yet believes that either can^ didate will evet lose* any sleep over the plight of <the farmer, therefore ?the farm-relief-plank should not be considered seriously by the masses. <?And what if something could' be done for the farmer? Why, the city dweller wants low farm prices and the city dweller is many multitudes by himself, and he's not interested in either Hoover 6#1 Smith on that account. And, furthermore?the west wants highpriced corn, and the south craves high-priced, cotton, and the east prays for expensive spuds, and there you are, but neither section wishes to see the other section get what It, desires.

Willis, widow of Sheriff Sam K. Willis, of Greenville county, who was murdered in his garage in June of last year, a psychic predicts .that his slayer will be found after the .first of the year. The SpSrfanl^Kg Journal reposjts the prediction afeVlCollows: , The slayer of Sam K. Willis, form; < er sheriff of Greenville county shop down in the dodfc of his garage during the summer of last year, will be brought to justice and that rather soon. At least so said Gene Dennis, "the girl who knows," in the final performance last night at the Montgomery Theater, . Her questioner was Mrs. Willis. Coming over wiph a party from Greenville, the widow of the late sheriff propounded similar questions it was said to those asked at a mati nee in Greenville when Gene Dennis was an attraction. "Who^illed my husband?" was followed with other questions, some by Mrs. Willis, some by Miss DenniB as the story developed. . The killer was a stocky man, Miss Dennis claimed, with dark hair and was about five feet ten inchea ins height. He wore a cartridge belt. At the time of the shooting there j Were three men at the garage?I see Step," the'pychTc asserted," and it appeared that the man was hiding be- ' hind , the steps. Another man was expected to do the shooting, but Sheriff Willis turned, and the stocky man had fired, saying "I've got you, Jim," In the first name of the sheriff Miss Dennis was mistaken* Mrs. Willis was not connected with the affair, the psychic declared, and that after the first of the year the mystery would he turned , up. The shooting was rather for political rear sons thirtr personal, she' explained. The psychic recounted experiences prior to the shooting, to * several of which Mrs. Willis gave corroboration.

Hcmember that a policy carried year after, I year is an investment in security. When allowed to lapse and renewed "now and then" it is little different j than gambling.
