He governs the most thoroughly American city in the land, a polyglot metropolis that began as a cast-off of the East as the East began as a cast-off of Europe. Chicago's chuffing, puffing yards constitute the railroad centre of the U.S. It holds the U.S. grain trade in its pits. Its stockyards are unmatched. In its grimy lap are a multitude of noisy industries (steel, cement, farm machinery, railroad...
