A Seattle newspaperman broke into the game a dozen os or more ago as a “cub” in a paper in € leveland, Ohio. Imost his first assignment was to interview Mark Hanna h the coal magnate had just effected toncerning a merger whic ; 1 of pretty much all the coal in whereby he came into contr the state of Ohio “The public,” objected Hanna, The “cub” insisted that, if the merger meant fn the price of coal, the public was very much interested hen Hanna became impatient with the “cub.” The ®cub” did not scem to understand. Naturally, the public was terested; he hadn't meant that. He conc eded the public in erest in the event; “but, ” “is not interes an increase he added, “this is a business deal #¢ is none of the public's business.” Finally he slammed the door in the The “cub” returned crestfallen to report to the city editor ‘othing doing, The old man wouldn't talk,” he said He id it’s none of the public's business.” (Whereupon the city editor howled with Joy, and. the head Jing “IT'S NONE OF THE PUBLIC'S BUSINESS,” was Bmieared across the top of the front page in the next edition The incident, remember, occurred. a dozen or more years The “trusts” were not then the “live” subject they now ate. People were then only beginning to suspect that the monopoly of necessities was partially responsible for the grow- ing difficulty in making ends meet. : ; For years, men had accepted as a truism, “A man may do ag he will with his own.” Mark Hanna was honest in his im patience of the reporter's apparent stupidity. “It was a busi ess deal.” It had to do with Mark Hanna's coal mines. A man may do as he will with his own.” Therefore, it “none of the public’s business.” ; . But a man may not do as he will with bis own. The (Mark Hannas of this day do not claim that he may, “The world do move.” A man may not do as he will with a vicious bulldog if the brute is a menace to public safety. A man may hot do as he will with a garbage can, if the can is a mevace the public health. And a man may not do as he will with i coal, or his beef, or his oil, or his steel rails; a man may got hoard them up and set an unfair price upon them, if by so he affect the public welfare. ; : hor ene man’s liberty ends where his neighbor's liberty doin; begins.
