Criticism or the Fool

Ridicule Is the criticism Of the fool
the stock argument of men who lack
the sustained force Of logic. 1t is the
natural expression Of resentment felt
by inferior souls when they see or hear
something which they can not grasp or
appreciate. Ridicule never did any
good. 1t never made any man better,
wiser, more prosperous in any sense.
1t has often scorched the germs Of
goodness and nobility in timid souls.
by arousing false shame. 1t is close
akin to cruelty. Most Of US possess
fault-fnding propensities. but have the
grace to be ashamed Of them. Few Of
US care to cultivate. much less glory In,
power which blasts and sears. but
helps no one. Worse still. rdicule
tends to destroy all principle in the
man who exercises 1t. Nothing Is sa-
cred to one who looks always for evil.
Such a man can have no real friends,
for although those who may listen to
him. laugh, they secretly distrust and
fear him,

Discussion Of medical ethics as rule
does not greatly concern the layman,
but when physician claims the right
to kill a man who Is suffering from an
"incura BILE disease" humanity begins
to prick up its ears. \ well-known ply
s.cian has made public announcement
of his belief in the right Of doctor to
kill a patient when his medical expert
ence and his knowledge of the ailElent
satisfy him that there Is no chance of
ultimate recovery. This physician not
only claims this right, but has been
exercising 1t to the best Of his ability
for many years. He admits that he has
produced death by ch.oroform In many
cases Of 'incurable patients" during
his practice. which has extended over
a period Of th!rty-f1ve years. In defend
ing this practice he says: MY position
has not been changed by the criticisms
Of the clergy and some brother physi-
clans. still think. and always shall,
that II a patient is suffering from an
incurable disease and he wants relief
from his misery physician is doing
deed Of mercy II he helps him to end
his life." The discussion was started
by a paper read before the American
Social Science Association at Saratoga
by Judge Simeon E. Baldwin. Presi-
dent Of the American Bar Association.
The Judge threw ethics to the winds
and vigorously maintained that man
had right to claim the assistance of
his physician in Kidding himself OF this
mortal coli" when 1t had been decreed
that his disease was incurable. The
paper has provoked much adverse criti-
cism. but none as severe as it would
seem to deserve. The PRONUNCIATION of
such ideas Is reprehensible and does So
ciety incalculable harm in that 1t tends
to lower the popular estimate of the
sacredness Of human life. Life Is not
such trifiing thing that the cords that
bind US to human obligation are to be
snapped asunder whenever a physician,
who is only fallible human being. de-
cides that an ailment is incurab.e. The
physician should not be allowed to
supersede the Almighty in this matter.
neither should he be above and beyond
the law Of the State. A man Is entitled

With all the manifest advantages
which ensue from the extreme divis-

turn their hands to everything. to ex.
ercise their bodies and their brains al
