Excerpt from My Story
Had Mr. Johnson lived longer he probably would have added nothing of a personal nature to his story. It was with extreme difficulty that he was induced to include the few delightful personal anecdotes which lend such charm to the early chapters. Those things have nothing to do with the fight against Privilege, he would protest, and he could not be made to understand that anything which appertained solely to himself was of any interest or value.
One is disposed to respect this lack of self-conscious ness almost to the point of adding nothing to the narra tive. It is because the readers of this book are entitled to an account of the year and three months of Mr. John son's life after he left the mayor's office in Cleveland that the last Chapter of the volume has been written.
