Few Individual Thinkers

Few Individual Thinkers
Held opinion is one of the besetting
sins Of this grand and glorious repub-
lie. Only about one in every thousand
Americans has any opinions that he
can truthfully call his own. His think
ing is usually done for him by some
shyster who can only think along
shyster lines Should some big cap
ita1ist, who has endowed few univer-
sites, hospitals, and old ladies' homes,
arise and proclaim that flies have no
relationship to the spread of typhoid
fever there are thousands Of our
yokelry who would accept this as
truth, and all the medical men in the
land could not prevail against it. Let
politician yell that our school his
tories are impregnated with pro-Brit-
ish propaganda and he will at once be
elected to the high Office Of mayor,
grand wizard, bishop or dog catcher
in-chief Let any preacher-as he
launches into the third COLLECTION
sermon of the morning-begin to
moan and yelp and describe the beau
ties of heaven that he knows moth
ing about, and he'll get enough wash
tub and pickhandle money to carry the
fivver on the weeks rounds Of pas
toral calls and free meals.
