The smitbland Democrat pior

The Smithland Democrat piously
observes: "If people in general
were as enthusiastic about the re-
liglon of Jesus Christ as they are
about politics, 1t would not be a
great while tilt the Lord would come
to the earth again to claim his own.
With the same amount of energy
and money spent in prosecuting the
work of the Lord, that is spent in
conducting political campaigns in
this county, it would not take but a
few years to convert the entire pop
to the religion of Jesus
Christ. The Democrat then pro-
ceeds to use up its entire editorial
page with red-hot political stuff
The above was the only editorial not
exclusively political in its nature.
