GIVE Us A NEW DRANK.

Kansas is about to see another de-
| velopment in the career of cranks.
Cranks kill themselves. They do not
commit suicide physically. but they do
everlastingiy saw and hack themselves
to pieces politically, if you will but give
them time.
Most cranks have knack or gift,
if you will, for being meteorically brill
liant. Mrs. Lease has said ssme very
brilliant things; Coxey was quite cpl
gramatic at times; and Debs has made
some very strong points. in fact all the
cranks, of which Kansas has the ma
joritv, have given birth to ideas and
phrases which have become of national
usage.
1t is not to be argued from the fact
that crank is sporadically brilliant that
he is great in the best sense Of that word.
But that is just what the crank is striv-
ing for-to convince the people of MS
greatness. He overshoots himself in
every case. The crank, and particularly
the Kansas brand of crank, is forever
keeping before the public. He or she
seems to be possessed of a lurking fear
that the public is about to forget them
forever, or at least to lapse in the
strength Of ITS admiration for him or
her. The result is that the crank does
not go into city which supports a daily
paper that the fact that the crank has
arrived is not at once communicated 10
the newspaper. Men of talent and re-
nown and real worth avoid news
papers great deal. Frequently
they refuse to be interviewed.
But who ever heard of a crank
refusing to be interviewed? Never.
They will talk for hours 10 representa-
tive of any paper on earth. The result
of this is that the cranks keep them
selves almost daily before the public
There is one inevitable consequence
the public gets tired-oh. so tired OF the
cranks. Their names are always bob
bling up, their opinions are given on the
most trivial subjects, but more than all
else they are before the public day after
day, month after month, year after
year. The novelty wears off. People
quit reading articles about them, and
dodge their interviews as they would
prolix preacher.
The live newspaper man will soon
discover this, and the crank is dropped.
forever.
The cranks will soon be dropped in
Kansas. The people are tired of them.
They are woefully weary of Mrs. Lease.
She has amused them a great deal in the
past. She has said many bright things
which have been appreciated. She has
taken part in several political episodes
and her vigorous manner and sharp
tongue have caught the admiration of
thousands. But they are tired of her
now. They are skipping the articles in
the papers which give her views. They
tired months ago of Jerry Simpsons
socks, and there is not a public man in
Kansas today whom the people are less
interested in than they are in Jerry
Simpson. PETER with his whiskers was
once diversion, but Kansas and the
rest of the country is tired of him. It is
SO all the way down the catalogue of
cranks.
If some new crank with new ideas and
new crotchets should appear he would
be taken up, and would become as popu-
lar, as public joke, as Mrs. Lease or
Jerry Simpson ever were. But the
public is tired of its old playthings. 1t
is signing for new jumping-jack.
