SENSATfoNALISM FAILING

1t appears though the Tallman Is not
.rcckng." Since the brutal murder of
discovered in Los Angeles last week. there has been
tempt to play up" the murder in the way the
Hickman given world wide notorety two years
ago. and similar other crimes have been played up in
the past.
The more sensational papers in Los Angeles have
been striving desperately to the old bayhoo in
the present instance, but is not achieving results.
There is why it should. The American
people should be sick and tired of reading the intimate
details Of crimes and of those concerned with them.
1t does not make interesting reading usually being
too sordid to appeal to any but stagnant brains.
Crime has legitimate place in any newspaper. It
is and readers wish to be informed about it. But
there is to surround it with halo of mawksh
sentimentaty portraying the slayer hero and the
slain a martyr This is usually the method in a
triangle case, where in most instances if the truth
were known, all parties equally to blame and none
can honestly claim the title of hero.
The Tallman case is not Clicking 1t would
have been Just the ordinary crime not attracting
than ordinary attention after first disclosed had
been for the absurd stupidity of the police in let
ting the suspected slayer slip through their fingers and
the equally stupid handling of the suspect by officials
of the boat which he supposed to be prisoner
Should the young suspect be caught all the sob
sisters and feature writers along the coast will get
busy build up atmosphere, to help the case along
There is no doubt that the playing up of crimes by
newspapers anxious only to increase their daily sales
is one of the for the so-called crime wave,
which ordinarily should be only crime ripple

THE KIDS SHOW US

The younger generation, perhaps we should say
the youngest generation, gave Us surprise last night
We were walking toward city park to attend the
Flag day exercises preceding the American Legion
buge corps by half block or more.
AT Sixth AND Commercial streets a group of five
six youngsters, the Oldest than six, were
playing in vacant lot. The sound of the buges and
drums reached their One of these urchins
the street than the others screeched out at top
of his lungs, "Come fellers hurry up get ready
to salute the flag He repeated himself several times
his effort make his companions hear him and they
came running
His call struck us as odd in one so young. In
day would have said, Hurry up feers here comes
a band and let If go at that.
Impressed by what we had heard, stood to
side and watched to what would happen The young
sters grouped themselves the curbng and the
flag carried by the Boy Scouts in sight, five
touseled kids stood at salute. Their salutes would

they were the best sautes saw not excepting
the snappy one John j. Pershlng gives. The five
waited until the flag had passed and then they scutted
across lots to the park, to be present at the Eks
sseryice.
THAT It gave It's new insight into what schools
teaching the youngest generation. There was no
promptng about the action Of these kids there was no
desire to attract attention. they did not know they were
being observed and in all probability they wouldn't
care They were willing to stop the most important
thing to youngsters = play not to hear band or
see some rncn marching by, but to salute the flag.
