 Ethical.

 MT. Hanna was in many respects g great man. As a political organizer 1t Is not too much to say that his ability amounted to genius. His method. 1t must be confessed. were not up to any high ethical standard.
 "In his latter years he gave special at- tention to the interests of the working classes, and from this point of view as a capitalist, he was doubtless willing and anxious to do what he could to amelio- rate their condition and. 1t Is this that accounts for the esteem in which he was held in the circles of organized labor"
