THE CITY AND PRIVACY.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
copyright, 1918. by Frank Crane.l

One reason why people flock to cities
is that they may be able to mind their
own business.
Political economists seek complex and
rapidity of city growth and for the de-
sertion of the country and OF the country
town. The cause. however, ls quite
simple, as simple as human nature. Ine
people go to cities because they want
Take the village of Podunk. In the
first place you would not be allowed to
go there to live without explaining why
you came, where you came from and
what your business is. You can rent
fiat in Chicago, however, and nobody
cares a tuppence who you are or What
is your criminal record SO long as you
are peaceable.
If you do business in Podunk and usu-
ally get down to the store at nine, and
some morning you do not appear until
ten, the town will not rest until 1t has
found out the cause of your delay.
Your neighbors know all about you and
The bank cashier knows the size of your
pile, the grocer and butcher know what
you eat, the dry goods merchant KNOWS
what sort of underclothes you wear ano
corsets, and they all meet and check up
When you leave town they know 1t,
also when you return: and they want to
know what you were doing in st. Louis
It is all very coy ramlly arrange
ment. You live in the constant glare OF
the limelight.
Some people like it and feel lost and
lonesome in the city. But more and
more that class is growing to whom this
perpetual invasion Of privacy is disagree
able.
It Is pretty generally assumed among
moralists that people love the privacy of
cities because they wish to plunge into
vice. Doubtless some do. But 1t II
doubtful if the average city-bred person
is any more immoral than the country
bed.
It is conceivable that a person may
wish to live his own life as he pleases
and not under the unremitting super
vision of Mrs. Grundy, and that this wish
may be prompted not by a desire for
secret crime, but simply by a desire for
personal privacy
The matter is really conflict between
the old idea that morality is conformity
and the modern idea that morality Is the
responsible expression Of ones own per-
sonality.
The city means the revolt of the soul
of man against moral dictation OF course
wicked people have always resented moral
tyranny. Now the good people are be-
ginning to resent it, too. So the country
is squeezing out its best and its worst
into the cities.
