1t is encouraging and gratifying to
note that In various cultured localities
the "crank" Is finding defenders and
even eulogists. 1t was time that q
much misunderstood and mlsrepresent.
cd member Of society should be placed
In n proper light. or course there are
cranks and cranks. Not oil cranks are
admirable, though every crank entitled
to the name Is likewise entitled to the
credit which Is due to originality Of
conception. The crank Is called a crank
because he differs from the great ma
jority Of mankind respecting one or
more matters Of opinion. 1t Is the
crank who leads the van Of human
progress. But for some prehistoric
crank-some individual with advanced
ideas--we should still be living In caves,
wearing skins for clothes and eating
raw meat for dinner. Conservatism
hangs back and IL satisfied with the
status quo. 1t Is the crank who, rs the
apostle Of unrest, stirs up dlssatisfac.

humanity to higher ground. Cranks
have made the great discoveries. GILL

proved correct. Then he was great

AS TO DICTATORS.

"Dictator!" shouts Republican Or

before the election; he would be die

And that may be true. We may,
however, console ourselves with the
thought that dictator who does his
own debating is considerably to he
preferred over one who dictates at the
dictation Of someone else-at the die

Like all good men happily married,
Gladstone owed much to the sympathy,
advice, appreciation. and common sense
OF his wife. the venerable lady who has
recently ended her long and admirable
career. He also was her debtor In O
peculiar sense. for she guarded his
bodily health and his peace of mind %
few public men were ever shielded.
Her care for his physical welfare and
his happiness was SO constant, 30 un.
firing, and so intelligent that she was
sometimes spoken Of as sort Of spe.
cial providence watching over his com.
ings and goings, his food aud exercise,
his clothing and his sleep. It was once
said Of her that she kept her famous
husband In cotton, for he found the
hard angles and corners Of life won.
derfully smoothed and padded by his
wife's shrewd and .vigilant protection
from whatever might do him harm or
cause him needless strain OF worry. II
Is hard TO estimate too highly the value
to public man of such assistance. No
one can weigh accurately the share of
GladstOne's life work which would
never have been accomplished II he had
been unfortunately married. or not
married at all. What Is certain Is that
bis chances for the great success which
he won were immensely increased by
the extreme good fortune which came
to him early in the form Of domestic
happiness and remained with him to
the end Of his life. Young men who
are ambitious. sensible. and strong
should give due heed to this striking
object lesson on the necessity Of care
In marriage and the wisdom Of not fall.
Ing to find q good wife.

A Boston newspaper has been trying
to find out, through interviews with col.
lege authorities, whether the profess
sions are overcrOwded, and whether
young men In professional life can
earn their expenses during the first
year. 1t Is true that the opinions of
deans Of the professional schools can
not be altogether free from prejudice.
as 1t Is the duty of each one Of them to
build up his particular department.
The facts. however. bring out some
points that cannot fall to be of interest
to the many youths who are hesitating
between a business and a professional
career. The deans of both the Boston
and Harvard law schools say that the
legal profession is not overcrowded.
Prof. Ames Of Harvard says that q
young lawyer cannot expect to make
his bread and butter the first year.

School says that any young man who
