Washington, D. C. The following
itt?ment was issued here by Her
bert C. Hoover:
"1 breakfasted with Senator Hard
ing this morning at the Senator's
invitation. 1 presented the views
which 1 believed 'were held by a con
siderable group of independent and
progressive Republicans upon various
questions. The Senator staled that
it was his most sincere desire to be
the instrumentality for bringing the
divergent elements of the party to
gether; that the views of both the
conservative and piogressive wings
of the party would be fully represent
ed in the administration; that he re-
pieseuted no particular group but
that be considered it was his first
djty as leader of the party to con
solidate all elements into a united
tront. He twill, of course, issue no
statement until after the Democratic
convection, and then after consulta
tion w ith all sides.
"My own position on various issues
io well enough known, and as to the
party situation 1 cannot make it more
clear than the following letter which
I sent to friends in different parts of
the country two days ago and before 1
had any communication with Senator
Harding:
"I beg to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter. I have received many
hundred other communications from
friends advising various courses with
respect to the situation that eventua
ted in Chicago, for undoubtedly many
of the independent and progressive
Republicans like myself are greatly
disappointed over some tendencies
that were apparent at Chicago. The
Chicago platform is not radical; the
greater part of it is constructive and
progressive; nothing prevents the
compromise planks un labor, the Lea
gue, etc., from being given a forward
looking interpretation; some things
including a reorganization of our
election expenditures and the pri
maries, are not adequately dealt
with.
"In these times when the great pro
blems and issues created Dy ttia w ar
are new and are so complex, we must
expect a wide divergence of view
among the members of the party as to
the methods by which they are to be
met. It folldws, therefore, that if
there was to have been unity io the
convention, there had to be a large
measure of compromise. The com
promise on the platform and the can
didate are proof that we have not ar
rived at an era of new political and
social tendencies and for this same
reason the same divergent groups and
the same attitude of compromise will
be found In the Democratic conven
tion. "Nothing could be more disastrous
than the development of several party
organizations representing the com
plexion of every group in the coun
try. With the legislative and execu
tive functions more widely separated
than in any other democracy, the
whole process of constructive govern
ment twill come to an end if we have
more than two dominant parties. If
we should come to this position, there
will be no possibiity of the American
people securing an expression of the
will of the majority and we shall be
entirely ruled by log rolling minor
ities or sterile political coaKtions.
"I am convinced that those of us
and I believe they are the majority of
the party who hold more definite
vietws, could not, even were we so In
clined, successfully enect the con
summation of such views outside th
party, and that our duty is to endeav
or to bring them to realization within
party organization itself as the is-
suei on which they bear arise. The
tendencies of the party will gain their
meaning ODly from actual administration.
"I am convinced that unity of ac
tion among the liberal thinkers of the
party, especially if they exert them
selves in the current of congressional
elections, will Insure the country
against legislative reaction.
"If the Republican party is to be
Irrevocably split I cannot concelv
that Senator Harding will for one
moment submit the administrative
side of the government to the domin
ation of any group or coterie. Fur
thermore, iwe have the possibility of
having administrative measures and
policies determined by full cabinet re
sponsibility, and of having coopera
tion restored with the legislative side
of the government. I need not re
Iterate my conviction that the con
itructive ability so critically needed
for the vigorous business reorganiza
tion of the Federal government and
to meet the many economic Issues be
fore us lls In the Republican party.
"For all of these reasons, I believe
that those of us who look upon party
organization not from the point of
view of partisanship hut solely from
the point of view of its usefulness as
an agency of maximum service to the
country, should support the Republi
can paty at the polls.
"Yours faithfully,
(signed) HERBERT HOOVER."
Realism Abounds
In "Partners Three'
Kealisin prevails in the production
( Tanners Three." the latest Thorn
us H. Ii.ee photonlav. featuring Enid
Hen net t. which comes to the Star
theater on Sunday.
Much of the action of the story
takes place on the great American
! desert and to secure the proper set
; tmg Mr. Ince sent his diector, Fred
i Niblo and the entire company out
I on the desert for a week to shoot
the locations. The players camped
i in tents out on the sand, amid cactus
1 and sage brush. Large cans of wa-
ter were taken out in the conunis-
isary automobile, but before the
, scenes w ere finished it was necessary
' to send a machine back for a new
; supply.
I Director Niblo succeeded in get
jting some wonderful desert scenes.
The supporting cast is excellent.
Casson Ferguson, a popular play
er, is leading man. John P. Lock
ney, a sterling actor, has a splendid
part, while Robert McKim will be
seen to advantage in a heavy role.
Lydia Yeamans Titus has an excel
lent characterization.
Mango Lives Down Bad Reputation
The East Indian mango is one of
the great fruits of the world. To
those who have realy tasted the good
sorts of it the peach loses its place
of highest honor. But the early
travelers were more interested in de
scribing its peculiarities than in ex
tolling its wonderful fragrance and
the depth of its flavors, for they told
the plum and cherry eating inhabit
ants of the British Isles that the man
go resembled a ball of tow soaked
in turpentine and molasses, and said
further that in order to eat it you
must undress and climb into a bath
tub and that after you ate it you
must comb its yellow hairlike fibers
cut of your teeth.
No other fruit in the world has
been so maligned. The mango trees,
which are now loaded with their gol
den fruits in south Florida are so
valuable that the mayors of the town
of South Florida are being beseeched
to keep the boys from stealing the
fruit from the trees, not because
they are balls of tow soaked in mo
lasses and turpentine but be cause,
as they hang on the tree, they are
worth 26 or more cents apiece, and I
a boy can eat up a five-dollar bill's
worth in the time it takes to tell
about it. 1
The office of Foreign Seed and
Plant Introduction of the United Sta
tes Department of Agriculture has as
sembled, through the work of its ex
plorers and through exchange with
the British East Indian department
of agriculture, one of the largest col
lections of selected mango varieties
in the world. There are now fruit
ing at the Plant Introduction Fiell
Station, Miami, Florida, about 20
varieties this year, and these repre
sent the selections from more than
70 sorts of this great fruit. Som
of these have scarcely more fiber in
them than a free-stone peach and
can be cut open lengthwise and eaten I
as easily with a spoon as a Rocky
Ford cantaloupe. They have an in
describably agreeable aroma remin
iscent of pineapples. The mango tree
when it is in bearing, Is a gorgeous
sight, for it is a large long-lived tree
and the golden-yellow fruits as they
hang in great clusters from the dark
green foliage makes one of the great
tropical plant sights of the world.
To anyone living within reach of
the Miami Plant Introduction Gar
den on Brickwell Avenue it would be
worth a long motor ride to see this
remarkable sight.
The mango has come as a tree crop
in Florida and. although it is tender
and can not be grown above the line
of heavy freezes, it is destind to add
greatly to the charm of lite in the tip
end of the Florida peninsula.
Hmlttlon Sale- Success.
The public sale held at the O. S.
Hodsdon ranch north of Lexington
last Saturday Vas a success. There
was a good crowd in attendance and
nearly everything that auctioneer
Miller put up, went at a good price.
The Hodsdon ranch is being farmed
by Mr. Hodsdon's step-son, Bert
Mnith. Mr. Hodsdon makes his home
at College Place, Wash., but both he
and Mrs. Hodsdon were present at
the sale.
