Which the "RadicaI?"

We note that many exchanges refer
10 the radical" platform adopted
last week at Syracuse by the National
Grange. Is it more radical than the
demands OF any other organization,
party. institution or industry?
When unionized labor is already de-
handing from six hours day down
to three hours 4 day.-and as little as
possible to dds 1t wrong for agri-
culture to demand that it be fully
represented in legislative bodies?
When organized middlemen are en-
trenching themselves in exorbitant
profits at the expense Of producer
and consumer. is it an objectionable
sin for awakening producers to de-
nounce the present system OF mar
keting and distribution as clumsy,
wastcful and inefficient and should be
abolished and that unnecessary mid
dlemen should be eliminated"
At n time when a government
grasping for power and domination Of
every last detail Of public and private
affairs OF the nation. takes possession
Of all modern means Of swift circula-
ton OF information that it may serve
what 1t wishes and withhold what II
likes, is it unforgivably radical" for
bandmen to declare: That the
censorship on n free press and free
speech should be removed and the
zone system discontinued"
Is 1t unreasonable for agricultural
interests to urge the obviously just
claims:
That the Government should Lulld
market and post roads instead OF spend
ing money on boulevards to be used by
the few.
That secretaries Of agriculture should
be practical farmers.
That the farm land bank law should
be extended. discouraging land tenantry
and abandoned farms.
That munitiOn plants should be con-
verted to the manufacture OF fertilizeEs,
freeing the nation from dependency Oh
foreign supplies.
That. urban standards or education
should not become guides OF the rural
system
What Is there about this platform
that is unfair. unjust or insane? IL
is true that the reforms and readjust-
ments urged are drastic departures
from present deplorable standards,
but to our mind existing conditions
represent the radical. the demagogic.
the socialistic. and the paternalistic.

 Military Rites.

10000 Persons Visit Bier Before Procession Starts
 for Cathedral Service.

New York, July 1.-The body of John Purroy Mitchell, in flag draped casket on which rested the cap that he wore as a major of aviation, was borne through the streets of New York today while tens of thousands watched in silent tribute.
 New York has seen other military funerals for heroes of the nation, but none more impressive than the solemn procession that escorted the former mayors body from the city hall to St. Patricks cathedral. All along the route people stood with barred and bowed beads, many in tears.
 The bell in the city hall tolled as the casket was borne from the TO- tunda, where 1t had lain in state throughout the night, and placed or an artillery caisson drawn by four horses which conveyed it to the ca thedral and thence to WoodlaWr cemetery.
 City Hall park was dense with citi- zens and the procession of soldiers sailors, policemen, f1remen, Red Cross nurses, civilians represented al city departments, distinguished mer of the city, state, nation and repre- sentatives of the Allies.
 Throughout the night men ana women, representatives of every class in groups and singly, filed past the flag draped coffin containing the body to pay silent tribute to his valor, un measured loyalty and supreme sacri flee. s"2
 Several hours before the funera profession started for the service il St. Patrick's Cathedral it was esti mated that 10000 persons had wis tied the city hall and hundreds stil were in line. Shortly after 8 o'clocl came Theodore Roosevelt, who stooc beside the casket with bowed heat for a moment and then passed on tC Mayor Hylan's office.

One was that of Mr1 J. W. Tim mons, residing at 1491 North avenue, in a two-family house. It was re- gently purchased by Harry Stark, 65 Highland avenue, and he wishes to occupy the upper floor where Mrs. Timmons now lives. Some time ago he told Mrs. Timmons if she would defray the expense of serving the downstairs family with eviction papers he would allow her to move down. stairs. Not thinking this a fair ar- rangement, she refused, and as a con- sequence is now ordered to move. The rent for this house a few years ago was SIS, and was raised to $20, and finally to $27, now the landlord wants S3o.
 Another interesting case is that of a house owned by an Austrian alien, at 297 Harral avenue, a Mrs. Frances Kahal. The house is occupied by three families. and the rent has been raised from S14 to $17 in the past year. The second floor tenant is also of Austrian extraction, but the fam fly on the third floor consists of Mrs Katherine McGee, a widow, with two daughters and a small son, eight years old. Mrs. McGee is employed by the Thomas P. Taylor Company, and is obliged to be away from home all day. The only one in the family who is at home is the small boy. The landlady has served eviction papers on Mrs. McGee, and the real estate agent has told the woman she must vacefe the hOuse by July 26 Now A short time ago, it is asserted, the landlady beat the boy because he went down into the back yard for his rubber ball which he had dropped from the porch. He was iii ali night in consequence, ana his mother took him to the Emergency hospital. While no bones were broken, the child was Ill. Another thing the lendlady is said to do is to turn off the water In the toilet during the day, so the child cannot use 1t. The tenant also

READY TO SEIZE BAND OF
 TRAIN ROBBERS IN WEST
TOO MANY WIVES MAKING TROUBLE
 IN BAL|C CASE
Man Discharged From Army on Dependency Claims
 Now Accused of Offense.

George Balig, 3S, of 294 Osborne street, Bridgeport, and also of South Norwalk, and late of Company A, 50th Regiment, United States Infantry, who got into trouble through having a surplus of wives, was today before the city court and bound over for the September term of the Superior Court under bonds of $1,000, by Judge Will der.
 It will be remembered that George got into slight mess of trouble last week for which he was assessed a fine of $25 and costs. This fine was paid by Mrs. George Balig of the Osborne street address. Through evidince pro- duced at the trial 1t came to light that George had been in the army. Assistant Superintendent Charles H. Suckley became curious to know the details of how he got out of the ser vice George volunteered the infor- nation that his wife secured his dis charge owing to the fact that he was her sole support and that he had two children.
 During the cross-examination 1t de- veloped that he had been married but two months. He then admitted that it was a woman in South Norwalk who had signed the application for his discharge. He declared he was not married to the South Norwalk woman, but had lived with her for a number of years. Superintendent suckley then ordered an investigation with the result that the original Mrs. Balig arrived in Bridgeport yesterday with Georges discharge papers show ing he was honorably discharged from his regiment in Wilmington, Del, April Il, 1918, and also that he had drawn the balance of his pay at Gov ernors Island, New York, as late as the eighth day of this month.
 Mrs. Balig, number one, was told Of Mrs. Balig residing at the Osborne street address and immediately went to call upon her. Detective Matthew Kane was also sent to place Balig un- der arrest, but he was not to be

Each plant will be rated in one of five classes, according to the thoroughness of the owner in con- forming to the recommendations oi the fuel administration. On failure o1 manufacturers to put these recon mendations into effect the supply o1 coal may be curtailed, at the discre- ton of Thomas W.

 MT. Russell is forming a statewide organization to make the new system effective.
 The industries of the United States burned 250,00O,000 tons of coal last year. It is estimated that the en- forcement of this plan of the Fedora Fuel Administrations Bureau of Con servation will achieve saving of al least 10 and possibly 20 per cent. ot this enormous total.
 The questionnaires will te sent ou from Hartford to plants on a list oi industries compiled at Washington Each plant owner must keep one copy of his questionnaire to show to the inspector at the time of inspection The inspector will check it up, with the results of his inspection, and cor Feet and report any misstatement made by inadvertence or otherwise.
 In view of the difficulty in getting inspectors competent to do the work the boiler insurance companies have offered the government the services O. their inspectors, who visit a large pro portion of the steam power plants a regular intervals.

Posse of 200 Awaits Signal to Rush Looters of
 Mail Cars. HOLD-UP OCCURS
 NEAR PAOLA, KAN. Three Passengers Shot But No Attempt to Rob Them,
 Is Report.

Paola, Kan, July 14-A posse of 200 men today was patroll- ing the banks of the Marais de Cygne river near here awaiting the signal to rush a large patch of timber in which it was be- lieved were hiding a dozen men who late last night held up a southbound Missouri, Kansas & Texas passenger train at. Koch Siding, just south of Paola, shot three persons, footed the express and mail cars and made their escape in automobiles.
 Details of the robbery in which two of the train crew and a woman passenger were wounded by bullets from the bandits guns, as stated by railroad employees, seem to indicate that the robbers "shot up'' the train to terrorize the passengers and crew. No attempt was made to rob the pas sengers. The engineer and fireman were forced into the smoking car The doors of the smoker and day coaches were locked and several of the rob- bers iran up and down the aisles, shooting into the floor and into the roof.
 Others of the bandits boarded the mail and express cars, uncoupled them from the rest of the train, and with their own men at the engine throttle, ran out to the main line. As they passed the standing coaches they fired into the windows.
 A mile north of the siding the mail and express cars were stopped and the robbers proceeded to rifle them, throwing the express safe from the car and breaking it open. They are said to have taken a quantity of reg istered mail. According to the ex- press messenger and mail clerks who also were corced into the smoker with the engine crew, there was not a large amount of money in either car

JAMES HOPE IS REPORTED AMONG
 THOSE MISSING

MT. and Mrs. Eugene Hope of 1349 Fairfield avenue received word yester- day afternoon that their son, James Hone. has been missing since June 10. Nothing further is known than was conveyed in the official notice. Mrs. Hope had received a letter from her son but a few days before he was re- ported missing and is at a loss to un- derstand why the notification was so long in reaching her.
 Young Hope enlisted oyer a year ago in the Medical Department of the Red Cross and at the time of his en- listment was student at the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania. He went out with a unit from Allentown, Pa. and has been a year in France with nine months of actual service. His parents are waiting as bravely as they can for further news of their son.
