Editorial association were entertained
last evening at the home of Warren
Wilson, publisher of the Daily Jour-
nal. at 517 Boyle avenue.
The grounds around the EDITORS

themselves in promenading about the
two-acre lot, in the center Of which

Fully $50 of the visiting editors were

remaining at home from sheer exhaus-

Frank G. Finlayson of The Herald and
L. M. Holt nestor of Los Angeles ed!-
tors.
FinIayson's Address
"Not only we, the newspaper men
of Los Angeles, welcome you to our
city," said Mr.. Finlayson, "but our
flowers, our fields and our climate join
us in extending the right hand of fell
| lowship, that you may sing our praises
and write Of our glory when you return
again to the east.
From the north, east and south we

In 40 they came, those big, strong,
whole-hearted men. Like the Rocky
Mountain grizzly, they left deep in
the sands of time, the imprints of their
trail, and also like the grizzly they
are fast passing away. But again in
81 We were reinforced and today we
are proud to be called native sons"
because we are proud of our fathers.
Southern California fiction is made
in the east, but, aside from this eastern
production of the imagination, Los
Angeles, with her surrounding towns
is rapidly becoming the modern Greece
of America"
Mr.. Holt reviewed the trials and
tribulations of a newspaper editor from
little town in Ohio, as he worked his
way to the Pacific coast. He also
spoke of the western journalism in
comparison to that of the east.
How They Spent the Day
Pasadena yesterday assisted in the
cordial reception which Los Angeles is
giving to the train load of editors who
are spending three days here. before
continuing their journey on to San
Francisco and Portland.
Pasadena gave us a taste of the true
Southern hospitality" said native of
Alabama after his trip yesterday, "and
I felt that if 1 got out of funds I could
borrow from some of those people of
Pasadena. I think there must be a
number of southerners among them and
the rest are of the true western type"
Pasadena did not bring forth its good
things until the men of thought and
mighty pens had returned from the as
cent Of Mt Lowe. Almost the entire
delegation of 500 persons who arrived in
Los Angeles Sunday from Guthrie,
Okla, where the national convention
was held. took advantage of the op-
portunity to enjoy one of the principal
attractions Of the southland.
Trip to Mount Lowe
They left Los Angeles at o'clock
yesterday morning and in parties of
thirty and forty persons made the as
| cent without mishap.
The only delay encountered was that
of two hours when a motor on one of
the cars burned out as the car was half
way between Pasadena and Rubio can
yon.
Few of the tourists went higher than
| Alpine tavern, a party of 25 being all
who cared to stand on top of the noun
| tain and add their business cards to the
thousands of others that are attached
to every shrub, tree and rock of Mt.
loves crest.
Every one was accompanied with a
healthy appetite. which today on the
Catalina trip will be of minus guam
tity, and when the last car had disap-
peared down the mountain side. the
pantries of Alpine tavern did not con-
tain eatables enough to supply dutch
luncheon for two.
