It is well to come across a man like this occasionally; he may not be profound, but he has abundance of common-sense. We see him just as God made him genuine, sincere, calm, and clear, touching with searching words, if not quite the roots of things, yet, without a doubt, the things themselves. He was the Apostle of that myriad-headed person known as the "man on the streets." St.
Cholera! fearful by name and by nature, it was not so strange that thy skeleton fingers should clutch at the myriad-headed city, situate by river and by sea, but thou wert insatiable! Proud dwellings and lowly cots in green fields and midst waving woods thou didst not spare; for thy victim, the human form, was there. In the middle of August, the skies shone over Kennons happy and fair.
The effectiveness of the working force of a nation, under the myriad-headed leadership of private capital, even if the leaders were not mutual enemies, as compared with that which it attains under a single head, may be likened to the military efficiency of a mob, or a horde of barbarians with a thousand petty chiefs, as compared with that of a disciplined army under one general such a fighting machine, for example, as the German army in the time of Von Moltke."

He could catch in that paralyzing hum words tossed here and there: "Smash his presses! Clean him out! Lynch him, lynch him! Kill kill kill! A human beast had coiled at his door, myriad-headed, insane, bloodthirsty, all-powerful the mob, that terror of civilization, that sudden reversion in mass to a state of savagery. It boded ill for Joe Blaine.
