Is WEST IGNORANT
AND UNPATRIOTIC? :?

In speech in this city, Senator
J. Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, char
acterized the people of the middle
west as a selfish, unpatriotic unit of
the nation because, paralyzed in ig-
norance, they are inviting inevitable
humiliation and ruin by preventing
adequate military preparedness. He
urged his hearers to go west and edu-
cate his constituents to the under
standing that they are not the enc
mics of the east and that the east is
not the enemy of the middle west.
While Senator Lewis picture of
the ignorance and selfishness of the
middle west may be over drawn, it
has become more and more apparent
in recent years that the west, or at
least the voluble part of the west,
has endeavored to make it appear
that there is an unbridgable abyss
between the two sections of the
country. Since Mr.. Bryan named
New York "the enemy's country
this idea-for it is nothing more tan,
gible-has spread until it has reached
the Pacific coast. But for anybody
to assert seriously that the west is
stepped in ignorance and that it is un-
patriotic would be to invite the laugh
ter of those who have been beyond
the Alleghanies and who know the
quality of that Americanism and thai
intelligence which are among its chief
characteristics. If it is slow now in
realizing the need of preparedness,
it will be speedy in redeeming its
delinquencies after it is converted, and
one way not to convert it is to come
east and call the west ignorant and
npatriotic.-NewY York World.
