Angry as one may

be at what heedless men have done and still do to a noble habitat, one cannot

be pessimistic about the West. This is the native home of hope. When it fully learns that cooperation, not rugged individualism, is the quality that most characterizes and preserves it, then it will have achieved itself and outlived its origins. Then it has a chance to create a

society to match its scenery.
