 If the word ''Radical'' is substituted for the word "Progressve,' Mr. Nelson is right. There are no longer Progressives of the time and creed of Roosevelt. Lines have changed. There are conservative members of both Sen ate and House who are safe and sound and have no leanings toward Socialism and other isms. Then there are the Radicals, whose tendencies are very distinctly Socialistic. La Toilette is the leader of this destructive crowd in the Senate. Nelson is the leader of the same group in the House. The Radicals are to be summoned into conference in Mo- vember previous to the meeting of Congress early in December. They intend to form bloc and wield the cudge
 Mir. Nelson explains that the idea is not to bolt the Republican Party nor to form al dances with the Democrats. Mo- Their scheme is much more crafty. They have a program of legislation which they intend to press and apparently by the use of force. They are first of all interested in the makeup of the committees. They will not permit a Speaker to be elected until they are satisfied with the membership of the important committees. They wish to exert strong influence in these bodies and their own selections must be accepted by the Republican majority, else will they block organization of the House.
 "Our program" as stated in letter which has been sent to all the Radicals, "is predi- Icated on the fundamental principle of repre- sentative government We beg to differ Their program is distinctly the reverse They deny at the outset the vital principle of ma jority rule They purpose to form bloc of Radicals This bloc will be large enou"h to hold the balance of power as between tn" Republicans and Democrats in Senate and House. It intends to insist on the passage of certain legislation. If it can have its way all right If not, then-chaos. It can resort to the filibuster It can refuse to support bills which the Republican majority desires ito enact It can-an evidently will-make Itself an internal nuisance.
 Things have come to pretty state when the rights of majorities are not recognized by small but active minority intent upon Accomplishing its own selfish ends.

THRILLS OF THE WRONG SORT

Two men of wealth who have been arrested in New Jersey for a series of robberies assert that they thus became criminals merely for the "thrill'' of it. The child seems to have been father of the man to an unusual extent in this case. A good deal of the naughtiness of children is sheer bravado, the impulse to transgress the parental law and see what may
 happen But if this explains a crime in (which the temptation of necessity is lacking, the explanation does not constitute an excuse, "When I became man," said St. Paul. 'T put away childish things.'' Grown persons ought to conquer the impulses of "our young
 barbarians at play" if these still exist in them.
 There must have been an odd criminal twist in these men if their love of adventure could feed on so sordid a thing as buglarv. There is surely nothing heroic in breaking into neighbours house and stealing his be-
 longings. If the excitement was all thev wanted they could have returned the goods secretly This is the way a novelist who wished to illustrate the theme of ''the gentle man burglar'' would have worked it out. But life does not always copy fiction. Many of us have suspected that the gentleman burglar is myth. The profession is not one to in culcate fine sensibilities or polished manners. No-the New Jersey gentlemen will hardly find their plea of a love of thrills good de- fense in court. They may have been amateurs. but their guilt is really greater than If thev had been professionals. Impulses to evil no doubt reside in the best, but it is none the less duty to stifle them. A crime com 'mitted in hot blood is more defensive from this point of view than such a mean and deliberate one as theft.

the Chinese Government upon this advice will
 give satisfactory reply by o'clock p. m. OIL the ninth day of May,' and the warning was
 conveyed that eff no satisfactory reply is received before or at the specified time, the Imperial Government will take such steps as
 they may deem necessary" What those steps would be was shown by the fact that Japanese warships had already been dispatched to Chi nese waters and Japanese troops were under
 marching orders. Under these conditions the
 Chinese were constrained to submit, and the treaty, minus group five, was swallowed n-
 der protest
 The present revival of interest in it's con-
 tents is due to the fact that the twenty-five
 year lease of Dalny and Port Arthur granted ito Russia is about to expire, and one of the treaty paragraphs provides for its ninety
 nine-year extension. As the Japanese enjoy the possession which is said to be nine points of the law, and as they are in no danger of la forcibe eviction, they can afford to regard the Chinese protests with an entire equanim- Iity. But all the same the Chinese have the right of it.

NEW YORK TO CHICAGO IN TEN HOURS

According to the New York Times, New York and Chicago are soon to be connected by a line of dirigibles which will make the trip on ten hours. Plans call for ships equipped with two rows of staterooms adjoining each other and running lengthwise through the middle of the passenger compartment. They will furnish accommodations for fifty passen- gers Each stateroom will be approximately the size of Pullman stateroom, equipped with lower and upper berths. The arrange ments of doors will be such as to insure the privacy of one berth from the other. The forward part of the passenger compartments will include, among other things, an obser vation lounge A dining saloon with seats for thirty is located amidships. Ample space is left for the galleys and officers and crew quarters Surrounding the staterooms, the lounge and dining room will be spacious promenade deck where passengers may stroll. This deck is to be enclosed.

of sentry found guilty of sleeping on his Epost-a military offense of the most serious kind-and asked why, if murderers were par doned policeman "who made only one mis- take" should not be. One member, who seemed to be as tired of hearing the Governor praised for his firmness as the Athenians were of hearing Aristides called the Just, referred satirically to "cool, cam calculating Cal'' standing upon the State House steps and en- forcing law and order.
 That there should be a strong sentiment in favor of this man is easily understandable. At the same time the legislators did we'll not to make an exception in his case As one Iof them puts it, the strikers had shown no mercy to the people of Boston when they deserted their posts. They acted deliberately, leven if they did not realize that they were cutting themselves off from all hope of serving the city again. Sympathy for this particular policeman should find expression in some other way of helping him. It was not an ordinary strike, and neither he nor any Iother of the strikers whose previous records were good could be restored to the force without violence to a righteous principle.

TREES AS MONUMENTS TO THE DEAD

That is rather good idea in which Prince Humbert of Italy has interested himself remembrance parks" for those who died i'll the war. In these, trees are to be planted, each one inscribed with the name of soldier Thus there will be through all Italy places of Crest and refreshment for all the people,' to remind them always of the sacrifice made for them by the heroic dead. Such monu- ments may not be as durable as stone or brass but when in the years to come the trees decay the parks will remain; and if the individual names fade into oblivion the meaning of the memorial will not be forgotten.
 Parks become more and more a necessity as civilization encroaches upon nature. Ameri ca is far from being as densely populated as Italy, yet even here the problem of open spaces secure from the builder has to be dealt with. We might do worse in the way of memorials than borrow the Italian idea. Most of the parks we have commemorate single name. But a community which set aside an open space and planted a tree to each of it's dead soldiers would have a living monument in which it could take just pride

An echo of the police strike in Boston some time ago, which by reason of his energy in dealing with it gave Governor Coolidge, as he was then, national reputation, was bill introduced in the Massachusetts General Court for the reinstatement of one of the strikers 1t got as far as the third reading and was then killed This will probably put an end to further efforts of the sort, for the case of this particular man was as strong as any could well be.
 He had been good policeman. He had twice declined retirement upon pension be- fore he joined the strike, and he had once been wounded seriously in the discharge Of his duty Nothing could be said, in fact against his character or his capacity. The advocates of the bill for reinstatement there fore had strong case. They cited the ex- ample of Lincoln, who commuted the sentence

WON'T DISCUSS KwANTUNG LEASES

In requesting Japan to set a date for dls- cussng the return of Dalny and Port Arthur and the abrogation of the treaty of 1915. 1t is not imaginable that the Chinese Forei gn Office had the least idea of receiving an affirmative reply It must have been well aware that the Japanese Government would refuse to entertain it's proposition. Yet the request was certainly not made without a purpose, and that purpose evidently was to let the world know that China has not been led to acquiesce in an act of aggression against which it has repeatdly protested, and that while it may be powerless to enforce it's rights it is determined to insist upon them in principle Silence in the circumstances might be construed as indicative of resignation, or even as an acknowledgment of the equity and validity of the Japanese claims, and China does not propose to leave any room for such a misunderstanding.
 No one who is acquainted with the facts can reasonably doubt that in this connection China has a strong case. It was on January IS. 1915, that the Japanese Minister at Pekin handed President Yuan Shih-Kai the draft of a treaty whose expressed objects were the maintenance of peace and the promotion of friendly relations and good neighborhood be- tween the two countries concerned. It would be difficult to conceive of anything more un- likely to produce these results than the con- vention to which China was suddenly sum- moned to agree Its more obnoxious clauses, comprised in group five of the several de- manls which would have had the effect of converting China into a Japanese protector ate. were ultimately withdrawn, although never formally abandoned, but what remained was enough to arouse the bitter resentment of the Chinese people when it was disclosed, and President Yuan Shih-Kai tenaciously re- sisted the coercion to which he was subjected.
 As consequence of his unyielding attitude the negotiations were protracted, but at last the Japanese decided that they had lasted long enough, and on May 7, 1915 Minister Hioki Eki handed the Chinese President note in which the hope was expressed "that
