A YEAR AGO AND NOW

= ENATOR Robinson candidate for vice presi-
y dent on the Democratic ticket has been do
ing some loud speaking against Herbert
Hoover. So the Minneapolis Tribune just by
way of refreshing the senator's memory wrote
quite lengthy article the other day on how Rob-
inson expressed himself year ago. The Tri-
bune, said in part:
ION June 26, 1927, there was a meet
ing at the state capitol grounds at Little Rock,
Ark, at which Mr.. Hoover was the guest of hon.
and Senator Robinson the principal speaker.
Here is how the senator pledged his memory
and gratitude to Mr.. Hoover:
"How often do generous deeds go
acknowledged! How quickly are they
forgotten! The state of Arkansas, ris-
ing in her PRIDE sings song of
glory. The storms have abated, the
clouds have disappeared. Our people
moving forward with courage and
determination to repair the damage
that came with the flood. In few
months the industries of the state will
have passed the altitude they had
reached when the disaster came
We have not forgotten; never will
forget the human touch the kindly spir
it, the friendly sympathy, the effective
aid which Mr.. Hoover and his associates
brought in time of need and strain.
No one can doubt Senator Robinson's un-
falterng appreciation of Mr. Hoover after so
masterful an euogy this But this was only a
small meager measure of Senator Robinson's
appreciation of the talent and humanity of Mr.
Hoover on this gala June day in 1927. The
senator said:
This large assembly and these cere-
monies attest the appreciation of the peo-
pie of Arkansas for the unusual service
which Mr.. Hoover has rendered by spe-
cal commission of the President in
time of great distress. He suspended
the performance of duties in the cabinet
and came in person to where the diff
culties greatest. His presence
his advice, his counsel are an inspiring
example to in high places through
out the world.
1--WE cannot conceive that the senator from
Arkansas has forgotten these words or the SEN
timents which gave them utterance. Nor these
words:
"Mr. Hoover's heart has not only
shared the sorrows and burdens of the
passing flood disaster; he assumed
task of the greatest Importance task
which he might well avoid and leave to
others to perform. We are proud of
him much because of his readiness to
advise and assist in the permanent solu-
ton of flood prevention and control,
that the future may be safeguarded
against the loss of life and property
which came in this spring of this year.
THE senator is doubt well aware that
the problem of Mississippi flood control still
remains and that Mr.. Hoover has not been de-
prived of any of his abilities along these lines
within the last year. We quote Senator Rob-
inson further:
"Few men in the history of mankind
have exemplified exceptional talents in
