Some interesting statements made by
01veu Witter unnerving the east and
the wood are quoted by Mr. Arthur Stod-
man in a sketch of the young author.
"One thingl have noticed. " said Mr.
Wister. "regarding the east and the
west. It can bocxpressed briefly, 111-1
though it mil require explanation after-
ward. In saying that the head of the
country seems to be in the east while
the heart seems to be in the west. 1 may
perhaps mean that the west seems
1 vrudor. although I never phrase it to
myself in just that way. but in travel-
ing about there one is struck continual-
ly with the kindness of everybody and
with their interest ,in all people who
are in trouble. Their knowledge and
good feeling also are not confined to
their own part of the country and what
iii going on 11111111. whether 11 be pros-
perity or adversity. but thei’interest
extends to the east. That is to say. if ,
you 'go to Chicago or San Francisco.
or wherever the centers of population ‘
are. you will find that most people you '
talk with are familiar with things in‘
New York and the east. and are inter- 1
rated to know what New York and nth-1
or large caste 111 cities are doing. while.‘
