It is true that you have only to look at a map of the United States to see at a glance that many of the newer States of the Union are purely arbitrary creations. their boundaries established by the theodolite of the public surveyor. They are squares on a great checkerboard. elaborated into rectangular sections on broad plains where there are no natural boundaries to divide region from region. and these artificial squares. which Congress first laid off as the areas of Territories. it has one by one converted Into States. each of which sends two Members to the Senate. just as Virginia and Massachusetts do. the history of whose boundaries and organization is a long history of constitutional struggle which gave them from the very outset characters and purposes of their own. Many a square Western State. laid out by the public surveyor. has now a more homogenous population and a more discernible individuality than some of her eastern sisters into whom a miscellaneous immigration has poured social chaos. I agree wholeheartedly with that statement. I believe that much of our trouble originates in our social chaos.
