Of at the risk of Boring my readers i am compelled again to Refe to the hoary subject of where the West begins my Western Bloo being at the boiling stage Over a Covert sneer i have just read in the columns of a Eastern United states newspaper. The subject As you May recall arose in a letter from one w. E. Graham objecting to the classification of Denver As in the far West. The Eastern columnist took the position which seemed Lofficial to me that what we know As the far West is fixed by a slate of culture and not necessarily by geographical boundaries. Commenting on this or. Graham the original objector agreed that there is a state of culture Peculiar to the West. While he is of course speaking of the american states broadly the same principle applies to the Northern half of the continent. This Western culture says or. Graham As one passes from the cast to the Middle West increases in intensity to the Pacific Ocean. In the process of this he avers narrow streets yield to vast valleys higher than the Eastern mountains. Conservative tradition becomes adventurous democracy becomes More he continued and the astounded easterner discovers such amazing things As the grand Canyon we might say in Canada the Ham and Eggers where we might say social and millions of people who will accept one for what he is and not because his great grand father p. Phineas Phunny acc i invert that paragraph As you can see from my parenthetical interpolations. What got me Clown was the Eastern columnist s sneering comment on said the Eastern columnar critic is indeed full of amazing things and one of the most amazing is How often a milk and water political philosophy passes there for adventurous liberalism. I he continued that there is significance in the fact that of the two great shows of last year the one in the West called treasure Island an intimation that it dug lip the past. While thai in the cast was the world of that last paragraph i have quoted heated my Western blood. It might Well have been written by Norman Macleod the Well known Ottawa press gallery propagandist of High Tariff protectionism. Ii has All the smug complacency with which or.
