East and West at the Fair.
Western papers show an intense in
icresr, in me woriu s lair, which is in
marked contrast with the apparent in
difference of the East. We believe
that Eastern indifference is only ap
parent and that when the fair is at
last fully underway there will be no
lack of attention Riven it, but at pre
sent the general feeling in the East
seems to be one of reserve and cau
tious distrust. Jealous New York news
papers have not failed to repeat and
amplify every story of Chicago narrow
ness and thrift until those who con
template a visit to the fair only won
der whether they will get back with
their skins and scalps. Thioughout
the West the newspapers, great and
small, have for weeks been printing
columns of news and gossip about this
colossal exposition, and of course they
would not do this if there was not a
demand for that kind ot reading.
The fact is that the people of the
West travel much more and much fur
ther than the people of the East. The
average Western man or woman thinks
nothing of a thousand mile excursion
The distances between points of inter
est or importance are vast. 1 he aver
age Easterner looks upon a trip to
Chicago as a remarkable journev.
The view of money also has much
to do with it. In the West it is quick
ly made and lost and carelessly spent.
An easy liberality, which with us would
be reckless extravagance, is there the
rule. It is part of the "booming" po
hey of Western life. "If you are not
wealthy have wealthy ways," appeals
to be the motto. In consequence of
this different attitude in the matter of
travel and expense the people of the
West will go to the fair in much
greater numbers and from far greater
distances than the people of the East.
There is a general public interest in
the West because the general public
is going to the fair and the newspapers
can not print enough about it for
them. Lancaster Intelliyencer.
