If a doctor makes a mistake, he
buries it; if merchant makes a
mistake, he never tells it; if law
year makes a mistake, he crawls
out Of 1t; but if an editor makes
mistake he puts it on large sheet
of paper for the world to look at,
and in every community there are
cranks who think they are models
of wisdom because they occasionally
discover them, and for weeks their
jaws are wagging about their great
ness for astute wisdom. -Ex.
