HooUer's Interest in
Workers of America

Herbert Hoover reaches the heart
of labOr's greatest problem when he
goes after full-time employment for
all workmen, John L. Lewis, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America, said in commenting on the
attitude of the Presidential nominee as
reflected by his address on labor at
Newark recently.
"Mr. Hoover penetrates the heart
of Americas industrial and economic
problem when he declares for full and
stable employment for the workers of
America" Mr.. Lewis said. His
Newark address reveals his intimate
and comprehensive grasp of the eco
nomic factors which are the everyday
concern of the average American.
His specific declarations in favor
of high wages, free collective bargain
ing, restrictions on the use of iniunc-
tons in labor disputes, and tariff
schedules protective of American la
Dor will appeal to every. thoughtful
citizen.
mo less farsighted are his views on
the continuance of immigration re-
strictiOns. further expansion of our
foreign export trade and government
assistance to the depressed textile and
bituminOus coal industries. The en-
tire program is well thought out and
has a wide appeal to those who know
labor conditions"

Lemuel BOlles, former national COM

"A surgeon" he said, twas giving
us some of his war "reminiscences at
a Paris banquet. He had cut eff a
soldiers arm, he said, and afterwards
he certified that the man was unfi,
for any more fighting. Back came th,
question from headquarters-why was
the man unfit? The surgeon replied
that it was because he had only one
arm. Back came the answer again:
"'HOw do you know he only has
one arm?"

What Are Vermin?

Just what is meant by the term
"vermin' is usually matter Of con-

According to Forest and Stream Maya
zine the word applies to any wild ami.
NAL that preys on other game. Yer
min, its rays, may be undesirable in
some parts of the country and bene-
fetal in others. In Connecticut, for
instance, the following animals and
birds are vermin to the authorities:

owls, starlings, crows, red squirrels,

Tariff q Vital Issue

Tariff bills originate in the house
ways and means committee. Ogden l..
Mills, undersecretary of the treasury.
recently examined the record of the
ten present Democratic members Of
the committee and found them to be,
with a single exception. "low-t tariff
men" Naturally, since they are Dem
OcratS.
Let no Republican voter be de-
ceived by Democratic tactics into
thinking that the tariff is not one
of the most vital issues this year.
None is more important. unless the
continuance of the country's indus
trial and commercial prosperity and
the maintenance for labor of the high
est wages in the world can be shown
to be of no account.

PROSPERITY UNDER
REPUBLICAN, RULE
Figures Shotu Advancement.
in Eight Years.

Prosperity has been an extremely
real matter to the American people
during the last eight years, it was re-
vealed with the publication of the
textbook of the Republican national
committee. The details are given in
special section of the book entitled.
Seven Years of Republican Rule"
Some of the more important accom-
plishments under Republican rule
are: employment for an additional
100000 workers, higher wages than
ever before, % per cent increase in
the price of agricultural products, and
70 per cent increase in savings de-
pOsits.
Fifty per cent more wage earners
are taking out industrial insurance
now than in 1921 and their policies
are twice as large. American homes
have doubled their purchases during
the prosperity era, and the cOnsump-
ton of gasoline has increased more
than 200 per cent during the admins
tratiOn.
New records for expenditures in
recreation have been established I'M
der the principles of government
which Herbert Hoover will continue
if he is elected. The radio industry
has jumped from nothing to the plac-
ing of 100000 sets in American
homes. Recreational visits to nation
al parks have increased 100 per cent.
D,ltn Of fh,N Tnig Ien in
dustry has brought 1t to be the sec
Ond industry in the United States.
Legislation sympathetic to business
has brought benefits 10 it which rival
the benefits the family has received.
A gain of go per cent was recorded
in monthly sales of motor trucks.
There was a 81 per cent increase in
the number of cars loaded every
month and gain of 1876 per cent in
the amount of building construction
awarded.
The production of iron ore has
doubled. Copper production is four
times what it was under previous adj
miristratiOns. Food consumption has
risen. as shown by the increasing de-
mand for -four, pork and other sta
pies. Home ownership has grown, and
100000 homes have been equipped
with electricity.
Six million telephones have swept
away the barriers of time and dis
lance. Fourteen million automobiles
add to the enjoyment of life or speed
industry and commerce. Tn" pur-
chasing power of wages has steadily
increased and the use of electrical
power in industry has doubled. The
12-hour day has been abolished and
the job of every man is still secure.

Hoover Aboue Subterfuge

Every few days we notice where
some one is apologizing for some
statement Of Governor Smith in his
campaign. Recently his running mate
in apologize tone said that there was
room enough in the Democratic party
for men of different beliefs. and thus
sought to bridge the wide gap be-
tween himself and Smith on the pro-
hibition question. But no one has To
apologize for Herbert Hoover's con-
duct or utterances. They are all
above reproach.

A Danish Relic.

Place names in New York are so
predominantly Dutch and English, af-
ter the nationalities of the city's early
overlords, that the contributions of
folk Of other countries are seldom
brought to mind. Yet one of the city's
biggest areas bears a name acquired
not from the Dutch nor from the Eng
fish, but from a Danish pioneer. He
was Jonas Bronck, who settled on the
mainland north of Manhattan island
with party of settlers from Dem
mark in 1859, and his colony, known
first as Bronck's land, is now the b.
rough of the Bronx.

What Governor Smith has in mind
is not farm relief. but Western votes.

may eventually Chamber down on their
side. He wants to sell them pig in

also what he is doing on modification

shrewd politics to him. Yet il cuts all

To Get Funds
Especial 70 The Heraldl

HARLINGEN. May s.-The best
geological, dramatic, and literary tall
ent in Harlingen has been drafted
into service to write the lines, ar
range settings, and settle other de-
tails Of the three-act play which is
TO be staged at the Fair grounds here
the night Of Tuesday. May %, with
wild animals taking the leading part.
Indians, a tenderfoot, and IN auto
mobile also are to figure in the
drama, which will be a thriller, with
lots Of horror in il. according to A..
ID. Holmes, commissioner of the parks
and zoo. who is arranging il.
The play is to be for the zoo fund.
and tickets, accompanied by tags, are
being sold now. New animals are
needed 10 liven up Zootown, accord
ing to Mr.. Holmes, and this method
Of securing them has been decided
upon.
The play opens with an ordinary
scene in which hunters are camped by
the roadside. when 10. an automobile
from Chicago approaches with a ten
derfoot in it. He asks the way to
Harrington. and after some discussion
accompanies the hunters. And 10,
again.
The tenderfoot is found out in the
wild wood, Of the Limberlost variety,
all by himself and scared, in the sec
ond act. The story does not tell how
he got there, but there he is. And
some horrors are thrown in at this
point. Animals and snakes rush at
him. and more horrors are thrown in,
to be adjusted later TO fit the audi
ence. Scene shutters and gag men are
working hardest on this part at the
present time, as they want 20 get
the real life touch TO it. they declare.
Then the tenderfoot is found tied
to a stake out in the wild woods.
Then the animals rush at him in a
body. Snakes, wildcats. bobcats. ana
any other new animals. If the zoo
happens to get any more by that
time.
The catch in the play will be what
happens to the tenderfoot. The scene
shifters believe they will make the
audience believe he is eaten up. but
there is some difference Of opinion
this point, as some unbelieving
persons declare that he won't be eas-
en-. Mystery which wells this may re-
unsolved through the age.
