Out Where the West Begins BY ARTHUR CHAPMAN Out where the handclasp’s a little stronger, Out where the smile dwells a little longer, That's where the West begins. Out where the sun is a little brighter, Where the snows that fall are a trifle whiter, Where the bonds of home are a wee bit tighter, Out where the skies are a trifle bluer, Out where friendship's a trifle truer, That's where the West begins. Out where a fresher breeze is blowing, Where there's laughter in every streamlet flowing, Where there's more of reaping i less of sowing, That's u e the West begi Out where the world is in the making, Where fewer hearts in de are aching, That's where the West begins. Where there’s more of singing and less of sighing, Where there’s more of giving and less of buying. And a man makes friends without half trying, That's where the West begins. 1 “I believe that the next ; few, ye ‘ |e unpara’ ‘ prosper the Pacific t The Bolsheviki madness first raged in our city— we stomped it back into the earth.
