EASTERN DISAPPOINTMENT

The -effete east is very much
wrought up over its defeat of being
the ruler of this great nation. The
west was settled by the most dar-
ing and courageous element of that
land, who had tie hardfhood to leave
the parental roof and cause these
bCundless plains and prec,pitous
mountains to blossom as the rose.
They were the brave and hardy eie-
ment, who were willing dixie our Pill
grim fathers) to endure privation and
hardship to found western empire
that should be free from todyism
and false worship % the God of Mann
mon. The Younger generation of
these sturdy men and women, that
are fast populatirg the great west,
are by nature born with bread ideas
and unlimited ind.s ny, and the east
will, by force, cone 10 recognize
them as their stuldy country cousins.
The attitude of many of the cast-
ern papers since tie election, has 10
say the least, not been of an cdify-
ing nature towards the west, That
lpas the reasoning power to work
out its great problems, and also has
the courage of its convictions.
The west was unit for Wilson
because it saw in his administra-
ton the spirit of progression that
as so dear to every western heart.
The little Ccreioan general that at
tire Europe, at last met his Waterloo.

and gently bow to a future govern

GROWING STRONGER

The defeat Sustained by the Re-

the last election has proven that
nearly 5000, 900 out OF 100000 Pro-

factor in the future.
