IN 399 B.C. A DEMAGOG APPEALED TO THE POPULAR MOB TO HAVE SOCRATES PUT TO DEATH

_and he was sentenced to the hemlock cup._ FOURTEEN HUNDRED YEARS AFTERWARD AN

ENTHUSIAST APPEALED TO THE POPULAR MOB _and all Europe plunged into the Holy

Land to kill and mangle the heathen. In the seventeenth century a demagog

appealed to the ignorance of men_ AND TWENTY PEOPLE WERE EXECUTED AT SALEM,

MASS., WITHIN SIX MONTHS FOR WITCHCRAFT. _Two thousand years ago the mob

yelled_, "_RELEASE UNTO US BARABBAS_"--AND BARABBAS WAS A MURDERER!

_Present-day business_ is as unlike OLD-TIME BUSINESS as the OLD-TIME OX-CART is

unlike the _present-day locomotive._ INVENTION has made the _whole world over

again. The railroad, telegraph, telephone_ have bound the people of MODERN

NATIONS into FAMILIES. _To do the business of these closely knit millions in

every modern country_ GREAT BUSINESS CONCERNS CAME INTO BEING. _What we call big

business is the_ CHILD OF THE ECONOMIC PROGRESS OF MANKIND. _So warfare to

destroy big business_ is FOOLISH BECAUSE IT CAN NOT SUCCEED _and wicked_ BECAUSE

IT OUGHT NOT TO SUCCEED. _Warfare to destroy big business does not hurt big

business, which always comes out on top_, SO MUCH AS IT HURTS ALL OTHER BUSINESS

WHICH, IN SUCH A WARFARE, NEVER COME OUT ON TOP.

 

--A.J. BEVERIDGE.
