only reached to be abandoned, and the
journey continues to the other side of

But the majority of the stars do
not make this extreme journey. They
are content with smaller excursions
from side to side. Our sun is one Of
these, and probably v strays fur.

ninety light years from us-something

According to Prof. Turner's idea,
the stars. with their satellites and
planetary systems. travel back and
forth from n side to the other of
the star community, not in ordinary
elliptical orbits, but in very much nat
tened elipses. and their pendulum
like swing is due to the preponderat-
ing attraction of the star masses at
the center of the star community.
His notion that no particular light
or heat emanates from the seat of
government" that is. the central part
of the star community. raises a query
which no astronomer here is Compel

What then is there at the center of

of a supreme intelligence that rules
creation? There is at least no evil

THE. WILD EAST.

Monk Eastman. Chick Trigger. or
some other gangster of the lower
east side in New York. would prob
ably make a fortune much larger
than the one accumulated by Buffalo
Bill by organizing a show called
THE Wild East" and travelling with
it in these days in the effete west.
The west is no longer wild and
woollN.' If any one out here I'M
dertook to shoot up a barroom or
rob a stage coach, arrest, conviction.
and a long term in prison would
soon follow. The police insist upon
the observance of the law in the
west. The COWBOYS are content to
ride their horses and herd their cattle
In an orderly manner. saving up their
wages to buy nice Libraries for their
comfortable homes. Instead of go
ing on a tear" they save their money
TO put a new bathtub in the second
story back of the ranch. They are
content to leave the wild and woollv'
business to the east.
New York today seems to he what
Dead Mans Gulch and similar spots
We're a generation ago. A gambler
who peaches on the police who
protected him is shot dead in front
of a leading hotel in Broadway. The
street is ablaze with light. a crowd
~jostles and shoves in front of the no.
tel. A group of gamblers stands
conversing, the man who "~squealed''
being the center of an admirine
crowd.
A taxicab drives up. Three men
jump out. Several shots ring out.
The gambler who %"squealed" falls
dead. The three men jump back
into the taxicab, which whirls away.
Nobody knows who fired the shots.
The scene is typically of the wild
and woolly" east. Nobody seems to
care.
In Chinatown the Tongs fight and
kill almost under the noses of the
police. The gangs on the east side
settle their difficulties in their W
way, either with knife or bullets.
The police arrest somebody. but the
honor of these murderers will not
permit them to give evidence against
each other; and there are few con-
victions.
Soon western millionaires, fearing
that their sons will grow up as mol
%lycoddles, will be sending the young
sters to New York to harden them to
gun play. 1t is quite plain that the
east and the west have exchanged
their roles.
