What is a DemagOgue?

Whenever a corporation editor or
a trust representative can no longer
ignore an argument in favor OF re-
medal legislation he dcnounces it as
the utierance of a 'demagogue. The
use Of the word "demagogue' in
such a connection has come to be an
infallble sign that the one who uses
it is consciously or unconsciously a
sympathizer with the abuse that
needs correction. Privilege and ia
voritism can not be defended hence
the resort to epithet. According to
the dictionary used by the benefici-
aries of privilege he only is a states
man whose ear is tuned to catch the
slightest pulSations of pocket book,
while he is demagogue who dares
to listen to the heartbeat of humanity.
