By Frank Bohn The Public is an Editorial paper that puts all public questions to the supreme test of obvious moral principles and stands by the results. While The Public's editorial policy is as broad as fundamental democracy itself, its editorials and special articles frequently deal with the land question, because the right settlement of it is the first step toward freedom.
