Universities,
libraries and other benefactions will abound, pleading for
recognition of the money-making dyspeptics. Human ingenuity will
have contrived some means for freeing men's minds from the dread
of destitution.
The money struggle will have ended and humanity will be much
better off, much further advanced--as it is at the end of all
great and painful struggles.
WHITE-RABBIT MILLIONAIRES AND OTHER THINGS
The most wonderful thing in America is--what do you think? It is
the absolute nullity of the man of many millions. It is the
vapid colorlessness, the dull inactivity, the total lack of
imagination among men whose power is unlimited. What
possibilities are spread out before the man who by signing his
name could set to work in any direction a million of his fellow
men! The world stands ready to obey his orders; every law says
that he shall have whatever he demands. Any conception born in
his brain can become reality as soon as conceived. But there is
no conception there.
These comments are written, not to scold, or complain, or
suggest, but simply to express wonder.
What man of millions does anything that a white rabbit does not
do?
One man--of a hundred millions at least--has become recently very
conspicuous among his golden fellows.
