Once started upon a Freedom-getting career, there seemed no end to these honors.[65] With headquarters in London in 1906, I received six Freedoms in six consecutive days, and two the week following, going out by morning train and returning in the evening. It might be thought that the ceremony would become monotonous, but this was not so, the conditions being different in each case. I met remarkable men in the mayors and provosts and the leading citizens connected with municipal affairs, and each community had its own individual stamp and its problems, successes, and failures. There was generally one greatly desired improvement overshadowing all other questions engrossing the attention of the people. Each was a little world in itself. The City Council is a Cabinet in miniature and the Mayor the Prime Minister. Domestic politics keep the people agog. Foreign relations are not wanting. There are inter-city questions with neighboring communities, joint water or gas or electrical undertakings of mighty import, conferences deciding for or against alliances or separations.

白话
卡内基1906年以伦敦为基地,连续六天每天获一个荣誉自由,隔周又得两个,早出晚归。本以为仪式会单调,实则每个城市条件不同,市长和议员都是杰出人物,各有特色与难题。每个社区像小世界,市议会如微型内阁,市长如首相,有内政外交、城际合作与联盟抉择。这说明地方治理虽小,却五脏俱全,值得认真对待。观察一个城市,要看它最紧迫的议题和如何处理内外关系。
