The Best of Us Went West

THE western population began with immigration
from the East and migration from the East has
never stopped until the present time. Such
process always involves selection. Without dis
paragenent II may be said that on the whole the
men that went West were those who couldn't get
on well in the East. They were too energetic, too
individual. often radical, to be happy in what
they have long been pleased call the etete civza
ton of the eastern seaboard In mind and in
physique they showed greater mobility, lndl-
VidualitV. energy, unCOnVentlonallty, than those
they left behind them. The relative wealth that
their inventivcness and energy won from a virgin
soil had the effect, which abundant nutrition always
has the evolutionary process, OF multiplying rapid

West became inevitably different from the East.
Then the difference was exaggerated by another

upon thousands.-men and women that have

East They have yearned for its more definitely
organized social ways its more formal manner OF
life. its greater comfort and wealth. These men
and women, as they have accumulated fortunes,
have drfted back to swell the ranks Of the rapidly
growing wealthy class in the large eastern cities
They have gone specially to New York and Wash
ingon which latter, partly for this reason, IS des-
tined to become the most beautiful city OF leisure,
art and culture in the civilized world,
Thus the folk Of the East and the folk of the
West have grown unlike.-unlike to some extent

From the earliest DAYS this America. the land of
mysteries and narves has attracted to its shores
the adventures and the FL Dorado seekers the dare

the economic outCaStr, of every European land. As
we watch to-day the incoming tide from ltalv and
Hungary. from Greece and European Turkey, we
fall INTO way Of regarding II a phenomenon
and strange: but Il Is the thing that has been
happening Tor four hundred Years. Since 1913,
when California wreSted from Mexican control,
We have used the same language and the same law

IN many phases OF feeling and of interest distinct
and separate. 1t has been from colonial times.
Before the Revolutionary War was declared the

some very interesting developments have taken
place which have tended to make the Westerner

1t is worth while to linger this last point for

and the East. certain curious points of unlkeness

Can We Become One People

CAN all this heterogeneous human material ever
- be assi1nilated and a1nalgamatedc Can 1t become
of one mind and soul? Can the differences that
distinguish West from East and South from North

Can conflicting interests be graSped and controlled
by supreme ideals and great dominating purposes!
Can all this mighty population ethniCay varlegated
is and passionaely indiVidualistic, be mentally
fused from time to time into one superb mob mind,
become IN memorable moments one collective soul,
become, a word, people!
Do we hesitate to answer this question! NO!

unity inCOmparably stronger. Differences OF

ton, stubborn they must yield to the great

Differences of race will not check the process.

never there Il greater mixture of races than has
been merged and lost in the EngIShman. P1CtS,
Cets, Angles, Jutes, SaXons, Danes, Normans,-
all have been melted into the English composite
Now it is precisely such blend that we are al
ready getting and shall certainly maintain in
America. Rather more than seventy-tive per cent.
of our population at the present time is blend OF
injecting Italians Iungarians, and Savs: but these

ion of wholesome kind in regard to
railroad properties and railroad
duties. The public should stop look
ing at the railroad as something they
should try to beat, or as something
thai Is always trying to beat them,
ana railroad managers should learn
that they are under the greatest
obligations to all the people to work
Tor Lne greatest good of the greatest
number; and all the people should
learn that every dollar invested IN a
railroad is entitled to as fair return
as though 1t were invested in aaY
other business enterprise Juries and
courts should guard the rights of the
railroads AS jealousy as those Of the
individual. The travelling public
should understand that it is a. much
OF sin TO steal ride on a railroad AZ
1t Is to steal an equal amount in value
OF merchandise from store. There
Is no reason for the continuance of
hostile sentiment between the rail
roads and the public. Such a senti-
meht can only lead to a low moral
tone with regard TO the rights of
railroad properties, and it will there
by weaken the moral tone of public
sentiment relative to all other proper
ty rights. The one thing needed is a
i broader education, a clearer con
ception of the rights of all concerned.
Prejudice and envy with regard to
railroad property and other large
accumulations OF capital in any one
business enterprise, if allowed to
continue, can only lead to the greatest
bitterness and hatred, and must re-
suit III an impossible gulf Of class
distinction in our economic rela-
tons, which has heretofore, in the
history OF the world, led to revolu-
ton. By a liberal education of the
masses relative to these matters, this
chasm can be bridged, and the public
made TO understand matters in their
true relations. Massachusetts. with
all her wise men and experienced
statesmen and economists. with her
past record of having helped to solve
50 many great and important ques-
tions. should have no difficulty in
coping with this industrial PROPOSE
ton.
The people of Maine are most
interested in having the best posi-
bic service to the markets to which
they go, and the greatest market is
New York,-and they do not care
who owns the railroads, if they get
good service at reasonable rates.
