Excerpt from The Great West
People who never travel away from their own homes are very apt, we are told, to think of their village, their town, their city, as the great and important spot upon this earth.
In these days of books and newspapers, one does not grow quite so narrow-minded as that, I think, even if he docs "forever stay at home." Still, we need to be wide awake and generous, quick to see, and willing to hear, or we might wake up some day, and, like old Rip Van Winkle, find a world grown up around us of which we had not dreamed.
It is, of course, a grand thing to be loyal to one's own state; to love it a little better than any other state; and to always "stand up" for it, and never allow it to be slandered in one's presence.
