East and West

In the western states, what Rev. John
ston describes as laxness is merely an
absence of the vilest and lowest of all
sins, hypocrisy. In the broad and boun-
tiful west men are free; free to think
free to act. They do not stretch that
freedom into license, however nor de-
grade it into RIGHTEOUSNESS. The man
who would give Seeley dinner in Utah,
Washington. Nevada, Oregon, Califor-
MIA, Arizona or any state or territory of
the west would be considered unfit to as
sociate with any but macquereaux. And
they would not deign to recognize him
unless they were drunk. And yet these
satyrs and panders of the Sterling
eastern civilization" are welcomed there
IN society, and welcomed there in the
