~The political center Of gravity In
the nation has shifted 10 the
states that lie between the Mississippi
River and the Pacific Coast"-New
York Times editorial.
This opinion is typical OF an idea
which Is rapidly spreading throughout
the country. There is a feeling that
Athe West Is In the saddle for the pres
idential nomination in 1920"
The fact that the West decided the
last presidential electionhas made It
potent factor In future calculations.
Moreover. the politicians know that In
case the woman suffrage constitutional
amendment does not become operative
IN time for the next national election
there are. nevertheless, TO states west
OF the Mississippi which have already
given their women the franchise, add
ing an increment OF some six million
votes. which might easily turn the cleo

IL 10 believed that but for the fed

The plan OF matching" every dollar
Of state money with an equal amount

stimulated the construction OF new

ORDERS OF VENGEANCE"

In the days OF the unfenced West
gunplay was a science rather than y
hobby to be trifled with in idle mo
ments. The man with the quickest
gun frequently lasted longer than
the man with another cheek to turn.
Gun fighting is a blot on the eseuteh-
ION of the great West. but there was
a time when it was the first law of
the men who rode the range. There
have been times. within the memory
of many of US. when gun-play was
the only way TO settle a feud.
Gun-play at its height as a science
is depicted in Riders OF Vengeance
