Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fortune of the Republic: And Other Addresses Upon the America of to-Day and to-Morrow Several years ago I wrote the outline of this book and promised to publish it the following autumn. Before going to press I decided to spend the summer in the interest of some first hand information as to the problems and people of the republic. Having lectured some thirty times in various cities on the Pacific Slope, I discovered that events had changed so rapidly that I must restate my position. I therefore decided to see as much as I could within three years of every great industry in every state and territory of the Union. Including summer lectures before the Chautauquas and summer schools, and winter addresses before the lyceums, I have lectured some three hundred times in as many cities, and gone through the shop, the factory, the public institution, the mine or special industry that was the pride of the community.
