light from recent municipal elections the

DBCADaNCE OF cRANKs

In all likelihood the fun loving news
papers have been largely responsible Tor
the present prominence OF cranks.
Crotchets of individuals which ten years
ago would not have been heard of out
side OF the village grocery store are now
sent far and near by telegraph through
out the whole country. While this mat.
ter is not strictly news, it has been up to
date highly readable. But it is an I'M
natural taste and it is not unlikely that
a reaction will come, and within another
year it will be entirely impossible for a
crank to get hearing in the newspapers.
Long before Jerry Simpson, with the
story of his sockless feet, had been
sprung upon the public and become an
every day topic with the newspapers,
George Francis Train and his idiosyn-
crasies were the rage. Both Train and
Simpson are rarely mentioned at the
present time.
About a month ago Mrs. Lease with
her sensational inter views was the daily
subject of humorous comment all over
the union.
About month ago Coxey came up
and the mention and prominence OF
Mrs. Lease has already waned. 1t will
be few days only until Coxey will pass
out of sight, simply because the news
papers will grow tired of him and stop
talking about him.
AT present there appears to be no crank
who will succeed him in the attentions
of the public, and it may be that the fad
of having a national crank and jester to
poke fuu at will die off with him.
