Here in America, as long as we
were concerned only with increas-
Ing our wealth, and developing our
resources, the political capital Of
the country had far less fascina-
ton for the majority of people
than that exercised by a Brobdig-
nagian modern Carthage, like New
York, or maelstrOm of business
energy. like Chicago. The recent
increase of growth of Washington
shows that a limit TO this tendency
had been reached before the wor;d
war broke out, but now there will
be a great acceleration because
the attraction OF manifest power
exceeds even that of wealth.
The intelligence Of the country
will more and more rapidly be-
come concentrated in WASHINGTON,
where il can be Immediately IN

tion, and of power of all kinds

Still more important will be the

have the greatest newspapers in
the country. why should the most
influential journals be published and
edited in the emporiums of com
merce and industry, amid an atmO-
sphere where thought is cOlored and
distracted by business interests?
Americans have not yet got rid
OF the false notion that a great
center Of population must be in
the closest contact with the high
ways Of commerce and especially
with the ocean. Few great CAPT
tails in the history Of the world
have been seaports, or empoTiums
OF trade. Rome grew up far from
the sea and had her port 10 serve

port, neither is Berlin. CONSTANT
nOple was placed between two
connected seas, not for the sake Of
commerce but because the spot
where she stood was the critical
point OF the political world in the
days or her greatness. Carthage.

left no marks o. greatness. You
