WEDNESDAY, JAN. 30. 1929. 1KH FRONTIER LINGERS The men whose lives connected modern America with its colorful old western frontier are passing rnpidly, and ouch time one goes the newspaper announcements of the fai t are tinged with regret. Wyatt Earp, who wore and used his two six-shooters in the days when Dodge City, Kan:;., was a center of picturesque, lawless turbulence, is the latest of the old-timers to pass on. A few days before he went Tex Rickard died and Tex, for all that he was identified with the ultramodern business of large-scale boxing, really belonged to the old frontier. The old frontier seems very re mote to us now, but it is still amazingly close in point of time. Though their number is diminishing fast, there are still men who can recall the mad, bad days) of Deadwood, Tonopah, and Dodge City, and the wild frenzy of the Klon dike is still a living memory' to a great many. Rut we havi moved away from the things those names symbolize faster than the calendar would indicate. Wyatt Karp, the Dodge City peace officer, -was not an extremely old man when he died ; yet the Dodge City he knew is, in reality, as remote from modern America as the Boston of 1776. ! A whole cycle of history has been compressed into the last 50 years. The country has lived extremely fast. Processes of social evolution that ordinarily take ed into decades. It is not without significance that the death of every man whore life was identified with those old fron tier days is chronicled at considerable length. We have a more or less subconscious regret at the speed with which tlva old days are rushing back into the past. Life on the frontier was hard, wild and tumultuous, and it never foster ,1 the softer graces; but at least it was straightforward and comparatively simple. It had none of the complexity and bewilderment that the decade since the World war has brought. Probably we outgrew it faster than was good for us. Geared to the tempo of a leisurely, obvious social era, we have been plopped down into the middle of an era that is hurried and complex. Unconsciously, we try to solve our ' present problems by standards that were devised for an earlier day. Men who grew up in a day of horse-and-buggy transportation are compelled to spend their maturity amid automobiles and airplanes. This, as much as anything, is responsible for the turmoil and bewilderment that nre so npparent in modern life. Things have come a little too fmt for us. We read of the death of a man like Wyatt Earp with a pang because we feel, down deep, that we arc somehov better fitted for his day than for our own. The generation now growing up will see things differently. It will be used to the age of machinery from the cradle, and it will be ab'e to cope with it without giving way to doubt and perplexity. Instead of having to adjust human lives to mechanics, it W'll be able to. iidjiiit mechanics to human life. For that reason we can look lo the future with a bit. or a mutlilli to the frontier. but it's only 'All the know criminals were rounded up in that Chicago drive, it seems, except the well-known ones.
