New York Recoining Westrrnlml. Is New York becoming western ised.? That ■ Is the conclusion of many observers who .'point to the Increasing prominence In builnexs, professional and literary llfo of men from tho western states. For ex ample, this city has seen a veritable literary Invasion this year. Aa un usual numb, i ,.r i,,.ei:s by" western authors or dealing with western era life are numbered among the best sellers, while tho most popular and successful playa produced dur ing Iho past year have come from the pen* of westerners, Eugene Walter and Augustus Thomas be ing the tnost noteworthy examples. Naturally enough tho pictures of western sconos nnd characters drawn by thoso who have grown up among them are more accurate than the brand of wostorn fiction or drama produced by men who nevor pene trated west of Pittsburg, which was the only kind that Iho east had an opportunity to become famlllnr with •mill within the past four or five weeks. Whother or not It Is true as Somalia a* charged that Now York la popular In Iho weal, It Is certainly the case that tho west nnd every thing wastern cnovs a very great popularity tn New York at tho pres ent time. A caso tn point In which a western book by n western author ta tn greator demand In this part of tho country than In tho west itself la David Graham Phillips’ “Josh-M Craig,” concerning which tho pub lishers announce that tho ndrance tors hare been heaviest from aorh ices as New York, Waaklngtonand Itoston.
