oils Sentinel, September D.
sec so many paragraphs in tho East
srn papers condemning our "Wcstern
business methods" or painting our
Western ''rustlers' in so grotesque
form as to arouse n suspicion of their
business integrity, that feel justified in
intcrposing defc nsc Before passing
Judgment, people should study the con =
ditlons.
An Arabian philosopher once said;
''Aftcr long experience, have OBJ
served that people are more like the
times In which they live Than like their
ancestors" SO I, after considerable
travel in many lands, conclude that poo
pie are more like their immediate sur
roundings than even ''liko the times in
which they live" The same man who
in Connecticut, with good capital, would
make wooden nutmcgs, IN Washing

wooden ships. The same man
who in Rhode Island would
waste the lard from his bones, rack his
Evercd brain and dwarf his soul in
pawninG natural desires for lean pennies,
that age might not go down in poverty,
IN Washington would clutch health
from the ocean breeze, bear n broad
breast, open an office in u borrowed tent
go In debt for months board, live on
salmon and stale butter, dress In n straw
hat and grin, and before gray hair
dared invade his sunburned temple, he
would make "half million in timber
deals" and corner lots.
The people of the East have read OF
these rapidly acquired fortunes, and too
often conclude thati they are the fruits
of chicanery, and that intrigue and
heartless scheming enrich the few Mt the
expense of the conhding many. These
conclusions result from the
natural inability of men to con-
ceivc great enterprises while
cramped by narrow and arbitrary condi.
tions. The people of the East accuse us
of making money by violating business
methods" but we only violate what they
consider "business methods" Our
"methods' differ no more from theii
