ASTOKIA, OREGON:
TUESDAY APUIL 17, 18W
Minding One's Own Business.
PnorESson Sumner is writing a
series of articles for Harper's
Weekly on "What social classes
owe to each other," which is re
plete with valuable hints as to
what to do and what to let alone.
In the current number he dis
courses "On the value of the rule
to mind one's own business." A
great deal of what he says is true.
It is eertainly a fact that the pas
sion for dealing with social ques
tions is one of the marks of our
time. Every man gets some ex
perience and makes some observa
tions of social affairs. Except
matters of health, probably none
have such general interest as mat
ters of society. Except matters of
health, none are so much afflicted
by dogmatism and crude specula
tion as those which appertain to
society. The amateurs in social
science always ask: What shall
we do? What shall we do with
Neighbor Smith? What shall we
do for Neighbor Brown? What
shall we make Neighbor Smith do
for Neighbor Brown? It is a fine
thing te be planning and discus
sing broad and general theories of
wide application. The amateurs
always plan to use the individual
for some constructive and inferen
tial social purpose, or to use the
society for some constructive and
inferential individual purpose. For
Smith to sit down and think,
What shall I do? is commonplace;
but to think what Brown ought to
do is interesting, romantic, moral,
self-flattering, and public-spirited
all at once. It satisfies a great
number of human weaknesses all
at once. To go on and plan what
a whole class of people ought to
do is to feel one's self a power on
earth, to win a public position, to
clothe one's self isi dignity. Hence
we have an unlimited supply of
reformers, philanthropists, human
itarians,and would-be managers-in-general
of society.
Every man and woman in sooie
ty has one big duty. That is to
take care of his or her own self.
This is a social duty. Fr fortun
ately the matter stands so that the
duty of making the best of one's
self individually is not a separate
thing from the duty of filling one's
place in society, but the two are
one, and the latter is accomplished
when the former is done. The
common uotion, however, seems
to be that one has a duty to so
ciety, as a special and separate
thing, and that this duty consists
is considering and deciding what
other people ought to do. Now
the man who can do anything for
or about anybody else than himself
is fit to be head of a family, and
when he becomes head of a family
he has duties to his wife and his
children in addition to the former
big duty. Then, again any man
who can take care of himself and
his family is in a very exceptional
position if he does not find in his
immediate surroundings people
who need his care and have some
sort of a personal claim upon him.
If now he is able to fulfill all this,
and to take care of anybody out
side his family and his dependents,
he mast have a surplus of energy,
wisdom, and moral virtue beyond
what he needs for his own busi
ness. No man has this. For a
family is a charge which is capable
of infinite development, and no
man could suffice to the full meas
ure of duty for which a family may
draw upon him. Neither can a
man give to societv so advantajre
ous an employment of his services,
whatever they are, in any other
way as by spending them on his
family. "Upon this," says the
Professor, "I will not insist
I recur to the observation
that a man who proposes to take
care of other people must have
himself and his family taken care
of after some sort of a fashion,
and must have an as yet unex
hausted store of energy."
"The danger of minding other
people's business is twofold. First,
there is danger that a man may
leave his own business unattended
to; and second, there is danger of
an impertinent interference with
another's affairs. The "friends of
humanity" almost always run into
both dangeis. I am one of hu
manity, and I "do not wamt any
volunteer friends. I regard friend
ship as mutual, and I want to have
my say about it. I suppose that
other components of humanity
feel in the same way about it. If
so, they must regard any one who
assumes the role of a friend of
humanity as impertinent. The
reference of the friend of human
ity back to his own business is
obviously the next step."
"Yet we are constantly annoj'ed,
and the legislatures are kept con
stantly busy, by the people who
have made up their minds that it
is wise and conducive to happi
ness to live in a certain way, and j
who want to compel everybody!
else to live in their way. Some
people have decided to spend
Sunday in a certain way, and they
want laws passed to make other
people spend Sunday in the sama
way. Some people have resolved
to be teetotalers, and they want
laws passed to make everybody
else a teetotaler. Some people
have resolved to eschew luxury,
and they want taxes laid lo m ':
othera eschew luxury. The tax
ing power is especially something
after which the reformer's fingers
alwa'S itches. Sometimes there is
an element of self-interest in the
proposed reformation, as when a
publisher wanted a duty on a book
to keep Americans from reading
books which would unsettle their
Americanism, and when artists
want a tax on pictures to save
Americans from buying bad paint
ings." "
"Society does not need any
care or supervision. If we can
acquire a science of society,
based on observation of phenome
na and study of forces, we may
hope to gain some ground slowly
toward the elimination of old
errors and the re-establishment of
a sound and natural social order.
Whatever we gain that way will
be by growth, never in the world
by any reconstruction of society
on the plan of some enthusiastic
social architect. The latter is ouly
repeating the old error over again,
and postponing all our chances of
real improvement. Society needs
first of all to be freed from these
meddlers that is, to be let alone.
Here we are, then, once more
back to the old doctrine Mind
your own business. It is nothing
but the doctrine of liberty. Let
every man be happy in his own
way. If his sphere of action and
interest impinges on that of any
other man, there will have to be
compromise and adjustment. Wait
for the occasion. Do not attempt
to generalize these interferences,
or to plan for them before hand.
We have a body of laws and insti
tutions wiucn nave grown up as
occasion has occurred for adjust
ing rights. Let the same process go
on. Practice the utmost reserve
possible in yo.ir interferences even
of this kind, and by no means
seize occasion for interference
with natural adjustments. Try
first long and patiently whether
the natural adjustment will not
come about through the play of
interests and the voluntary con
cession of the parties."
Mcc Scml-off.
The following pleasant little bit
of biography is from theN.Y.Siwi:
Secor Robeson has been a cabi
net officer. Grant took him from
an attorney's office in Camden and
set him over the naval establish
ment. In eight years under his
administration $1S2,49G,033 of ap
propriations by congress were
spent, squandered and stolen. In
that time Secor Robeson built
eight new ships, tiukered others,
and condemued seventy. The
seventy condemned vessels were
broken up by Robeson's iriends.
The material thus obtained, to
gether with the enormous quantity
of government property on hand
in the workshops and navy yards
at the end of the civil war, yielded
Robeson about $50,000,000 in ad
dition to the 182,000,000 appro
priated by congress. What be
came of all this money of the peo
pie's has never been legally ascer
tained. Robeson found a navy
and left nonavy. His salary was
$8,000 a year In a few months
after he went from Camden to
Washington, a poor man, his per
sonal accounts at several banks
amounted to $4G7,546.G1.
The N. Y. Sun announces the
Democratic platform for '84. It
has at least the merit of brevity.
Here it is: "a tariff for revenue
only; the tariff to be the only
source f revenue."
Gen. Crook and tho Mexican
authorities have arraged for a
combined campaign against the
Apaches in Arizona. It is to.bo a
"war of extermination.
