A Monopolist Explains
“You are standing on my foot,” said the citizen to the monopolist.
“Ah, you must not think of that,” good-naturedly replied the monopolist. “It is sordid and pessimistic. You should think of the higher things of life.”The Ward County Independent, September 29, 1910
Science is Becoming a Nuisance
Steadily medical science is closing all avenues of safety. Time was when man might do pretty much as he pleased and live. Now whatever he may do is deadly. The Chicago health department has just issued a warning against country springs; in the pellucid water of these springs death lurks in all of its hideous forms. Also to quaff a cooling from the “Old Oaken Bucket” is dangerous. What to drink was long a matter of price rather than choice. But now it is a matter of neither choice nor price. The millionaire as well as the pauper confronts death whenever he drinks or eats. It is unkind of “science” to point out so many dangers and not to indicate any paths of safety that the ordinary person will be content to travel. Perhaps the most comfortable thing, if not the safest, to do, is to take a chance now and then and refuse to be alarmed. Trusting these few lines, etc.
