THE SENSATIONAL FAD

The latter-day trend toward sensationasm was illus
trated last week in the of an address delivered
by prominent local clergyman He said: The day of
the odfashioned mother is past and the newfashioned
mother is not here yet We are at present in a transit
tory state The oldfashoned mother is that she
should be put in a glass example"
An utterer of such sensational nonsense that is
not SO rare as to warrant his exhibition in glass
The clergyman in question should have enlightened his
audience by pointing out the field of his observation in
respect to mothers past and present AS he to
know all about the "the newfashoned mother who is not
here yet he might also have turned back the curtains
of the future to an interesting view for his audi
ence.
Dropping from sensationalism to the hard-pan Of
sense 1t is fact that the average mother of
the present day differs but little from the average
mother of one, two three generations ago. The only
essential change arises from conditions peculiar the
steady improvement in of domestic comfort. The
mother of the present day manages her domestic duties
with less labor than did her mother and with far less
labor than did her grandmother That relief solely
from extraneous sources. 1t indicates change what
the personal attributes the present day mother
charged in the sensational paaver quoted above
The average American mother of our era devotes her
life her mother and her grandmother did, to making
home pleasant for her family and to bringing up her
children "in the way they should CO." She allows
outside influence to draw her attention away from those
paramount duties Whatever she may do outside of the
domestic the betermen Of others she rates as
of secondary importance AS remarked before she has
the benefit of helpful domestic appliances that
unknown to her mother and her grandmother thus
making her household duties easier and giving her
leisure for good works outside the domestic circle But
she forgets for the fundamental require
ments at home.
Sensationalism goes beyond endurabe limits when 1t
draws invidious comparisons between the average
parents of this generation those of generation
two ago. The fathers and the mothers of this day.
rule practically just like the fathers and the mothers
of the oldfashoned days. Notwithstanding the libels Of
sensational writer's and speakers.

consider these figures fanciful would
do well to drop into the county re-
corder's office and ask to be shown the

AS If the disappearance of noted
Southern California names, with their
sonorous cadences, were not sad
enough, the postoffice department of
the United States started out to per-
retuate piece of catholicism of a pc
culiarly horrible kind in mutilating
the names of postoffices where there
was a prefix of San or Santa, dropping
them or running them together. 1t
would be hard to imagine a greater
crime than this. Fortunately this con-
spiracy has been defeated, and If we
shall be compelled to witness the dis
appearance of patronymics Of dstinc-
ton we shall at least retain a SAVIOR of
the old Spanish lingual sweetness in
our postoffices. Some of the nom
descript names which the postal dry
asdusts were turning out were fearful
ly and wonderfully made. They ex-
ceeded in cacophony the performances
OF an owl orchestra.

THE TROTTING RACE MEETING

The Herald fails to essential analogy between
the proposed rong meet at Agricultural park and the
notorious race gambling scheme that was worked all
last winter at Ascot park.
A considerable number of Los Angeles men of recog-
nized character and standing who own fine trotting
stock have prepared for series of lasting only
one week. There can be valid objection to such an
exhibition is contemplated. The breeding excep.
tonally fine horse stock has long been a conspicuous
California feature and that has given state the
highest rank in that line.
The respectable character of the proposed meeting
is vouched for by the gentlemen who are promoting It.
including Mayor McAleer The mayor says that "the
charge of this harness horse meeting are local
of good standing; they will the meet themselves
and will not farm out any of the privileges their
word for that" The mayor also says THE horses to
at Agricultural park owned by local men.
have few out there myself" In that assurance the
mayor becomes sponsor for the respectable character of
the meeting. The Herald probably expresses public
sentiment quite generally in saying Take the mayor
at his word"
In regard to the betting feature the trotting races
nothing be said except that the chief feature of race
gambling is eliminated That is to say there will be no
so-called "bookmakng" the feature which the Ascot
gamblers mainly for fleeing victims. The Herald
is opposed general principles to every species OF
gambling to such betting provision has been
made for the trotting events at Agricultural park.
The special liquor permit. operative during the week
of the trotting races, The Herald Is opposed to on
fundamental grounds That permit though good for only
few days, adds another saloon tem to the 200 al
lowed in Los Angeles. No break that 200 line
should be tolerated under any consideration The as
that the bar privilege will be conducted under
the eyes of such interested gentlemen as the mayor
all that is necessary in regard to its orderly character
But it will be bar nevertheless For week It will
be Los Angeles bar No. POI. The Herald stands in
fexiby against that much aggression of the liquor
traffic beyond the dead line.
