Nearly a hundred and fifty years ago, Bishop Berkeley penned that famous line, a hne which has passed into a proverb, and become familiar as household words to all peoples whose mother tongue is the English language Westward the course of empire takes its way. Never, surely, did poet express a great historic truth more tersely, or more happily. For twenty-five centuries, steadily, unvaryingly, the seat of imperial dominion in the civilized world has been moving towards the West. From Persia to Macedon, from Maccdon to Rome, from Rome to the Empire of Charlemagne, from mediaeval Germany to France and England, from France and England across the Atlantic to these distant shores of the New World, the imperial seat of civilization and political power has constantly advanced in the direction of the setting sun. But now at last, having reached the waters of the Pacific, and thus completed the circuit of that part of the earths surface occupied by the royal A ryan race, the Star of Empire has turned in its course.
