IT IS A GREAT THING to have a Westerner in the office of Secretary of the Interior. That Department of the Government deals chiefly with the many billion acres and the many million people located west of the Mississippi river, to say nothing of the millions of other people who are destined for those waiting acres. The Secretary must be capable of a sympathetic insight into the problems of Western folk; he must be in touch with the reclamation pioneer, the stock-raiser, the miner, the homesteader, the defenseless Indian—all the people of the wide spaces who are, in a way, the wards of the Nation. In such an office, a competent and broad-gauge Westerner, surrounded with a force of men who are Westerners like himself and who know their country and its needs, may be productive of untold good to the whole people of the United States. Franklin K. Lane, now in office for a little more than a year, is such a man and his administration of the Department, it is already evident, will mean tremendous progress in Western affairs. The Secretary contributes to this issue of SUNSET the first of two articles in which he outlines certain policies and calls upon the West for its coöperation.
