A PLEA FOR THE CRANK.

The New York Tribune Is out In
unanimous appeal for the passage of a
law inhibiting any person from putting
sin jeopardy his own life or the life Of
any friend or associate, unless some
humane or useful end is to be served" :"
AS far as protection to the lives of
others Is concerned, such law might
be enacted, but wherefore as to the
principal? The severest penalty of any
law is death, and If man risks his life
to accomplish some hazardous and
foolhardy feat, will he fear any more
to risk q violation of the lawY If he
should kill himself in his undertaking,
he is beyond the law, and he dies
crank; II he succeeds, his success
places him beyond conviction by any
jury in this country, and he lives a
popular hero.
Furthermore, men who usually seek
glory by this dangerous path, are men
the country at large can very well
spare, and two or three less of them in
the population every year will have a
very beneficial effect, with which no
legislation should interfere. The Tri.
Jtne ought to know that the crank ele-
ment in society is at all times Il die
turbing element, and that as no law
can be made to remove them, certainly
no law should be made to prevent their
removal when they are willing to as
sumo the burden of the responsibility
and take their own risk,
On strictly business basis, such
legislation would be pronounced an
tagonistic to every accepted idea of
commercial transactions. All things
considered, the best course to be pur
sued is to give these humble seekers
after fame clear track and let them
60 to their destinv--death--i it be
death; the dime museum, if it be the
dime museum.
