The South of Tehachepi Secession

A movement is under way the secession of the southern California--those counties lying south of Tehachep It is universally known, but such secession has been possible any time within the last sixty-four years-under resolution adopted by the California legislature 1857. It remained the south to decide whether it desired withdraw. There has always. however; been much local opposition secession that it has been seriously attempted notwithstanding periodi- cal agitation of politicians who always at the bottom of state county divisions
 This opposition has always rested two things, loyalty to the great state the foundation of which was laid, the center associations of which are, in north and the objection to the expense of a new state government
 The loyalty of southern part the has steadily weakening until it is asserted the old Californian spirit dead. It has been replaced by the Iowan sprit--not the spirit of Iowan cities. but of Iowan life spirit Bird Center and of Eallvile, whose inhabitants have moved masse to Angeles taking with them their whsbers their arctict overshoes earnuffs their shiny Sunday suits and the household goods and gods of their fathers.
 But in inverse the decadence of the Cali foruian spirit south of Tehachepi has been the strengthening the ascendancy of the second of the objections the south to new state-the ex- pense of The Iowan is thrifty. He is not given to wild and expenditure He is not the kind of a man who would give up his good right eye with no other object than stimulate gass-eye indus try Desrous as may be for a separate govern ment he is unwilling to yield himself expensively to the schemes and whims of politicians who want new set of state offices with appurtenant salaries created He would rather let the wealthier north nav the Hons share of supporting the present state government.
 The people north of the Tehachep, we learn from their newspapers are indifferent to the secession movement of southern counties; they are willing to let the erring sisters There is no longer homogeneity The Californian and the Iowan spirits cannot coalesce Beside. suppose, though there has been no alusion this fact, the population of the south is increasing entirely of proportion to ts increase of taxable wealth, and if the present rate s increase of population is maintained it will ulti-

The Pioneers

Welcome to the pioneers today the men and women who carved and paved the way and made it possible for the us to come-who opened up the best state in the union.
 As a rule the pioneers reaped little what they sowed- They by the toll of planting that the harvesting was largely left to those who came fresh and vigorous.
 We wonder at the hardhood and the endurance of the pioneers What high courage must have been theirs the trackless with unnamed perils at the end And then there the discomforts and the prvations Such denial was imposed the pioneers of other region had been called upon to endure unless may except the Pilgrims who arrived in midwinter the in hospitabe New England
 II is to be regretted that this reunion held earlier, many years earlier. when hundreds o the men in the vanguard alive and might have been brought together and when association might have been formed and arrangements might have been made for future reunions.
 No achievement of The Republican has been so gratifying it as the which has been given So great promise of this calling together of the pioneers. The call has been answered from section the state louder than was antic- rated- Though many of the who took part in qe building of Arizona have answered by their
 esence they have replied by letter expressing their Appreciation of the for their reunion and their determination be here in spirit.
 Hardly less gratifying has been the interest and qe cooperation of citizens who pioneers hut who recognize their obligations to those who 6pened the way them. It the first opportunity they have had give voice their recognition of that obligation
 The whole people of the state, consequence of tnis reunion of the pioneers will be brought closer together: they will have been given touch of another, intimate than they ever felt be- fore It will be felt by those who not present. will be communicated to them by those who will be- The present will be linked with the past.

 Back to the Home


 This fact the feminists themselves have just lately realized. Several re- cent intelligent books on feminism set forth the new viewpoint in a very convincing way. That long discard ed and much ridiculed motto: "Wom- ans place is in the home, seems to have been hauled out of the attic, dusted off, subjected to a few revi-' sions and qualifications, and placed on the wall again.
 At least these recent writers seem to have reached the conclusion that woman should be protected from all sorts of wofk which in any way in lures her usefulness as a mother, and they are forced to admit that many kinds of industrial work are in that class. They agree that the woman of brains should follow profession II she chooses, and that women in the arts and professions have as good a chance as men. They admit that every woman should be given every opportunity to fit herself for any kind of work her health will stand But they see that motherhood is her most important function, from her own viewpoint in most cases, and from that of the state in all cases.
 The trouble is that woman is now in industry by the million. For the most part she is not there by choice She is there because she has to be 1T order to eat Therefore merely to establish the conclusion that she should come out again is futile.

 What is to be done, then?

The Sweets of Disappointment

Some people cling to disappointment if it the pearl of great price. Rolled in a cherished plan, they and lament their hard luck with a constancy that is worth of a better cause.
 This is a great mistake. No good possibly of it. instead, much harm through the waste of time. energy and enthusiasm So much of the worlds enthusiasm is lost in crying split milk, it is small wonder that there many mediocre people in the world.
 That is something the wise do Of course, there is always the first shock disappointment which means the altering plans, and for moment things may look dark. But we see the positive necessity of abandoning a plan, we should do it and begin at to for better More often than otherwise, we shall find that after all, the disappointment really a blessing disguise.
 How many boys girls in the teens have been broken hearted the sudden termination of the most wonderful love affair in the world, only later to thank all their lucky stars that they escaped entanglement.

THOUGHTS ON "DO-DAZE.n Now for Eat-an- Onion Dayi

Eat-Fish Day, Eat-Apples Day. and Eat-an Orange Day were quite suc- cessful. But there was this short coming: the enforcement officers couldn't tell with any certainty whether every citizen had done his duty or not. A citizen can eat fish, apples, and oranges and prunes and not show it. Or not eat 'em and still show it.
 But with an onion it is different!
 When a man has consumed the National Fruit of Bermuda the proof is conclusive. Against tho man who hasn't, he stands out like steerage air against a pine breeze. Consequently the Onion Day stacker won't have a chance to escape.
 Onion Day may, as matter of fact, be designed not so much to promote the onion industry as to definitely io- cate the people who have been ignor ing the Eat What We Tell You days and the Do-as-W -We-Say Weeks.
 If it doesn't work an Eat Garlic Day may be resorted to. There will be no way of evading that.
 Onion Day hasn't been set as yet but the date will be named soon by the Department of Agriculture. The new onion crop is bumper. and there is an excess of 2,500 carloads of As phyxiation Fruit from the 1920 crop Something has to be done.

measure. providing for the instruction or mothers by state agencies under the general supervision of the chill dren's bureau. As originally drawn the bill provided also that actual medical care could be given by the state when it was needed. This ob viously socialistic measure was stricken out by the senate. which then passed the bin with a reduced appro- priation. It will doubtless come be- fore the house at an early date. It has attracted so much favorable at- tention that there is little doubt of its passage in some form.
 The proponents of the bill have made out a strong case to the effect that something should be done for motherhood in America. A few ex- tracts from the hearing before tt1s house committee will give in brief space the main facts upon which the demand for this legislation is based:
 Wasted Lives
 We are still sacrificing the lives of as many motheN as we did 10 years ago. In 1918, 23,00o made the supreme sacrifice-shall I say for motherhood? Mo- Rather paid the supreme sacrifice to lack of suitable instruction. to absence of prenatal care, to unskii1ed and bungling ob- stetrics. and to dirty hands. Reliable
 
 mortality this year will be about Is per cent higher than the preceding year"
 The infant mortality rate and the maternity mortality rate are an in- dex of social well being. Every fac- tor that lessens the infant and ma ternity mortality tends to lift up liv- ing standards, and every advance in living standards automatically tends to lessen these death rates.~ ''The United States has the highest maternal death rate in a list of r civilized countries, and the chances of child surviving it's first year are worse in this country than in 10 other countries"
 Studies of nearly 24,Oo0 infants in seven industrial cities show that an 1 income earned by the father fairly guaranteeing the possibility of decent family life and permitting the mother to remain at home with the children accompanies an infant death rate about three times as favorable as that in the lowest income group. In fami- lies in the lowest group. one baby in every six failed to survive its first 1 year. In families of adequate income but one baby in r died in the first | year. These studies have no class basis They include every baby born in given town in a given year
 ''1n one city the infant death rate was five times as great in the mil district as in the fine residential dis | trict."
 The bureaus studies in rural areas of six different states revealed the fact that so per cent of the mothers | had received no advice or trained care during pregnancy"

WILL USE IL TRAPS
IN AMERICAN HANDICAP
BY PETER p. CARNEY

Twelve traps will be in operation
when the Grand American Handicap
the trapshooting classic-takes place
at the South Shore Country Club,
Chicago, ILL.,, in August. Previously
when the Grand American was held
at the South Shore club ten traps
Were used. Nine of the II traps will
be erected on the beach front between
the main club house and the shooting
lodge. The other three will be to the
north Of the shooting lodge. These
three traps are now used by CLUB
members. The two traps in front of
the shooting lodge will be used for
practice events, for the instruction of
beginners, and for special events. In
dications are that this will be the
greatest Great American ever held.
With the railroads campaigning the
shooters and offering reduced rail-
road fares, there should be no ques-
ton about the 1000 entries. And to
prove that this will be record break
ing trapshooting season we want to
tell you that 144S club tournaments
and $40 registered tournaments had
been sanctioned by the American
Trapshooting association up to April
23rd.
