BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

MIDWEST AMERICA, October IS
There is something hopeful. something
buoyant about the spirit of the West
today which finds it's reflex in poli-
tics, of course, but which makes the
wayfarer feel the throb Of evergrow-
ing confidence that the dark days of
depression have passed and that the
dawn of a prosperous tomorrow has
come.
1t is not altogether due to the rise
in the prices of agricultural products
or the favorable crops. 1t is due to
some extent to a feeling of stability,
feeling that the reconstruction of
Americas economic life following the
war has come to a steady, upward,
but assured, pace. There is an air
of progress, of things moving, of un-
rest dispelled, of great opportunity.
He would be blind who saw no dis
content, no symptoms of political up
heaval in the years to come if the
West is left to hear it's own protesting
voice as the cry is raised for a lower
tariff or reduction in freight rates.
President Coolidge has achieved a con-
siderable strength on the farms as we'll
as in the cities of the West, but it
would be mistake for his supporters
and advisers to interpret the votes
that will be cast in his direction a. s due
entirely to the enthusiasm Of approval.
1t Is, In a sense, a passive acquiescence.
a belief in things as they are, in thu
maintenance of the status quo, but
with 1t hope for the future. s
West Il Changing.
The West is changing. Cooperative
marketing, diversified farming, inn
proved methods of production, better
credit facilities, motor transportation
all have played their part. The politi-
cal parties have been torn by local
strife and the wounds of the everlast-
Ing controversy between conservatives
and radicals. Persons mean more than
issues as factor in the balloting.
President Coolidge's strength with
the voters of the West is a curious
thing. 1t was the same West which
threw Its hat in the air for the rip
roaring cowboy, the irrepressible T..
X. OF 1912. And today the West si-
iently, but just as effectively utters
It's favor for the rugged, honest, SIM
pie. unassuming plain man Of the
New England hills
John w. Davis is always we'll
spoken of. His speeches are COM
mended and his record Is applauded,
but the West regards him as of the
same school of thought as President
Coolidge on most of the important is
sues Of the day. The emphasis placed
on La Toilette at the left side of the
political scene and Coolidge on the
right, has meant a shuntipg to one
side of Davis. Western sentiment
which clamored for McAdoo has not
accepted Davis as a substitute.
This Is not the fault of Davis. It
is because his record was not that of
McAdoo, who stood for high wages
on the railroads, a record of achieve
ment in Office with respect to agri-
cultural credits and, generally speak
ing, liberal radical. He would
have carried many Western States,
but not all of them. The favorable

The Collapse

Perk Perkins walked with stately
stride about our little town; we
always spoke with honest pride OF
him and his renown When he re-
turned, at divers times, from circles
high and grand, the churches all
rang out their chimes, we met him
with band Triurnphal arches
spanned the street, flags bur- DER
every door, and damsels, gar.anued
and sweet, sang, Home Again Once
MoreT To we.come him in noble
style we used 10 plot and plan; and
this was surely worth the while OF
any mortal man. But all this love
and high esteem were not enough
for Perk; he had dark and hateful
dream OF gratis he well might work
he worked his gratis and gathered
chink, huge, dishonest pile; and
he would give il al. think, to see
his neighbors smile. The other day
marked his return to Punktown-in-
the-Gien; he saw no ruddy beacons
ourn, no maids sang Home Again.
A clammy silence. held the town, as
cold as winter sleet, when quaking
Perkins journeyed down the old
familiar streets. Men watched in
sorrow as he trod the highway s
turns and bends, the man who
traded for wad the faith and love
of friends. He shivered as he met
the gaze OF neighbors he had known
in those old glad, triumphant days
when honor held its throne.
