~THE PROBLEM OF THE WEST

Such is the title of an article by Mr..
F. j. Turner, in the September number
| of the Atlantic Monthly. He deals
with his subject in a broad and liberal
minded manner. He clearly shows that
! the west is different from what the
| east holds it to be, different in every
respect, but in none more than in It's
aims and ideals. It cannot be denied
! that the east has viewed the west
! very much the same as England and
Europe have viewed America. And
that transatlantic view of America
and things American has nettled the
people of the east, the region Of coun-
| try beyond the Alleghanies The east
! still gets its views of the west from
the writings of Lewis and Clark, Long
and Pike, to very large extent It
who have moved west, from the DAYS
when they went through the Cumber-
land Gap into the great Ohio valley till
the days when they go on trans-conti-
mental railroads, have always main
tained very keen interest in what
their friends whom they have left in
the east have been doing, in what they
were thinking, in what ideals they
were striving after. Not so the peo-
pie of the east. They have not main
tanned an active interest in what their
friends who have gone west were do
ing and thinking and striving for. The
western spirit of protest against the
east that has been so often noted and
commented upon is the same as the
spirit Of protest against Europe that
breathes through Lowell's essay on "a
Certain Condescension in Foreigners"
Europeans have misunderstood Ameri-
cans, and the Americans of the Atlantic
seaboard have misunderstood the
Americans of the Mississippi valley and
the great west and the Pacific slope
Mr.. Turner says that the west lis
more American, but less cosmopolitan,
than the seaboard.' He sums up the
western problem in these words: "The
western problem is no longer a sec
tional problem; it is social problem
on a national scale. The greater west,
extending from the Alleghanies to the
Pacific, cannot be regarded as a unit:
it requires analysis into regions and
classes. But its area, its population
and its material resources would give
force to its assertion that if there is a
sectionalism in the country the sec
tionalism is eastern. The old west, uni
ted to the new south, will produce not
a new sectionalism in the country, but
a new Americanism. Tt might
mean the drastic assertion of national
government and imperial expansion
/ under popular hero. The old north
west holds the balance of power and
is the battlefield on which these issues
of American development are to be
settled. 1t has more in common with
all regions Of the country than has any
other region. 1t understands the east
as the east does not yet understand the
west''
Mr.. Turner has done real service, a
service very much needed by the east.
His article cannot but awaken serious
thought and reflection N all who read
it; and all should read it who can.

Ex-Governor Thayer. of Nebraska,
told a reporter at Canton, O., the other
day that Nebraska had two large su-
gar factories which represented 81,
100000 capital, but that Mr.. Bryan, by
his vote and voice. helped to destroy
them and both are idle. We have one
sugar factory in Utah and it is in a
highly prosperous condition. How is it
that Mr.. Bryan's vote and voice did
not destroy it?

plea for a Confederate Home

There Is n striking contrast between the
condition of the disabled veterans who wore
the blue and those who wore the gray-thc
one cared for by the gratitude of a great
nation, the other dependent upor the love of
an impoverished people. The supreme nobiii-
ty of southern women. those who sent faith
ers. brothers, husbands and lovers into battle
for truths sake. is yet watchfnl of the veteran
whose steu has become feeble and whose lot
has fallen in hard places. AS the women of
the South reared stately monuments OF costly
marble In the Confederate cemetery in Win
chester. so the Daughters of the Confcderacy
of West Virginia are striving to build a home
for the poor and disabled veterans. The
Daughters Of the Confederacy in Martins burg
and Berkeley county are making great ar
rangements to effect this result. About June
Srd they will organize a grand rally which
will be held on the lawn of Senator Faulkner's
beautiful and historic home, BoYdville. There
viii be dinner during the day, and q fete
champetre at night. The lawn win be dotted
| with tents. in one of which a play will be pro-
duced; another wiz contain a museum of Con-
fed crate relics; at another beautiful maidens
VIII tell the fortunes of the anxious swains.-
Bands of music aud numerous lanterns will
beautify aud cnliven the scene magnificent
supper will be served, and it is anticipated
that as a gathering of beauty and chiyalry
the occasion will be unsurpassed.
Gallant aud faithful jefferson viii send her
quota for the sake of the cause she loved so
well, aud battlc-scarred Winchester will come
in force with the same devotion which swelled
her heart when her streets resounded to the
tramp of armed men. There the old genera
tion will meet the new and the veterans will
meet the SONS and daughters of the Confeder-
acy-a younger people, but a people in whose
heart the pride of a heroic ancestry reigns SUI
preme. aud together all will testify by their
presence and by their contributions their ap-
probation of the noble cause for which the
occasion is had. Every Southern veteran of
Berkeley and adjoining counties is,expected
and invited to Sc there.
