Los Angeles (Cal.) Graphic

What a joy to the discerning in these days of rampant, self-advertising journalism is that well edited, sanely conducted daily newspaper, The Christian Science Monitor, which requires no biased eyes to see its intrinsic worth. We have no church affiliation with this comfortable and comforting exchange to induce this tribute. It is paid ungrudgingly and in all sincerity after a year of daily reference to its columns. Perhaps the editorial page might be a trifle more sparkling; an occasional bit of airy persiflage would not detract from the otherwise solid information imparted and sound opinions conveyed, but that is a mere matter of personal taste. Invariably the page is catholic in its treatment of affairs of moment, and so well written that to the average reader it cannot fail to prove educational in its tendency. Restrained head-lines over its news columns; foreign correspondence rarely found elsewhere and of a most trustworthy nature; feature articles devoid of sensation, but written in a sprightly vein and exceedingly readable; schools, homes, politics, civics, finance, commerce, sports,—all carefully covered and displayed with a nice appreciation of the relative value of each subject considered. Our compliments to our Boston contemporary; may its influence so widen that eventually, instead of being conspicuous by reason of its distinctive qualities, it shall have set such a pace and won so large a constituency, not alone of Scientists, that hundreds of saffron inclined dailies shall have repented of their yellow course and patterned after our amiable and esteemed contemporary.
