This article focuses on the prevailing political conditions in the U.S. The most valid argument against New York City, New York as America is probably the undeniable fact that the metropolis is partially Europeanized in its habits of life and thought or, to put it in another way, cosmopolitan. On the other hand, there is no place in the country where one finds more of that restless energy and that devotion to material success which among non-Americans are regarded as the outstanding qualities of the U.S. citizens.
