It Is our own suc cess hero In America that has brought about tlio complete alteration In feeling. The chief factor In producing tho revolu tion, ami later In producing tho war of 1812, was tho Inability of tho mother coun try to understand that tho freemen who went forth to conquer iv continent should be encouraged lu that work, nnd could not nnd ought not to be expected to toll only for tho profit or glory ot others. When tho tlrst continental congress assembled tho .-British government, llko every other government of Kuropo nt that time, slmplv did not know how to look upon thu general question of tho progress of tho colonies save from tho standpoint of tho people who had stayed ut home. Tho spread of the hardy, venturesome backwoodsman was to most of tho statesmen of London a matlor or nnxioiy miner inun or pride, and tho famous Quebec act of 1771 was In part de signed with tho purposo of keeping tho lOijgllsh-Hpeuklng settlements permanently east of the Alleghenles nnd preserving tho mighty nnd beautiful valley of tho Ohio us n hunting ground for savages, n nneservn for tho great fur trading companies, and as lino us isi mis project wns partially re vived. .Stonily WcKtivaril ftroittli. Moro extraordinary still, oven nfter inde pendence was achieved and u llrm union accomplished under that wonderful docu ment, tho constitution ndopted In 170, wo still see traces of the same feeling linger ing hero and theru In our own country. There wore plenty of men In the seaboard states who looked with what seems to us ludicrous apprehension at thu steady west ward growth of our people. Grave' senfitoi-J and representatives expressed dire fore boding us to thu ruin which would result lrom admitting the communities, growing: up along the Ohio to n full equality with thu older stutes; nnd when Louisiana was given statehood they Insisted ' thut that very fact dissolved tho union, When our people had begun to settle In tho Missis sippi valley Jefferson himself ucceptcd with equanimity the view that probably It would not bo possible to keep legions so In finitely remote us the MIsMsslppt nnd the Atlantic coast In the samo union. Later oven such a stanch union man and llrm be liever In western growth n fearless old Tom Hentou ot Missouri thought that It would bo folly to try to extend tho na tional limits westward of tho Ho'cky moun tains. In 1S3i) our then best known man of letters nnd historian, Washington Irv ing, prophecled that for nges to c-omo tho country upon which we now stand would bo Inhabited simply by roving tribes of nomads.

Thero was nothing In tho past by which to Judge either the tnsk before this country or the wuy In which that task was to be done. As Lowell finely suld, on this continent wo have mado new stntes as Old World men pitch tents. Kven the most fnrseelng states men, those most gifted with the Imagina tion needed by really great statesmen, could not at tlrst grasp what tho process really meant.

Thenceforwnrd It advanced by leaps nnd bounds, and tho frontier pushed west ward across tho continent with ever-Increasing rapidity until tho day came when It vanished entirely.
