CLEANING THEM OUT

Mr.. Robert Brady will have no oppor-
tunity to follow the example of Messrs.
Albert Bates and Harvey Bailey in stag
ing hunger strike.
Mr.. Brady, like Messrs. Bates and
Bailey, made a business of banditry
prison breaking and terrorizing. Twice
in six months Mr.. Brady escaped from
prison where he had been confined for his
illegal activities. Yesterday, while en-
;oying his illegal liberty, he ran afoul of
law officers a little better equipped with
firearms than he was.
Mr.. Brady's body reposes in Kansas
morque and he is beyond the need of stag
ing hunger strikes, prison escapes or any
activity whatsoever. Mr.. Brady Is very
much dead.
He followed in death by few days
Mr.. Wilbur Underhill, also a member OF
the same bandit fraternity, who enjoyed
/. long period of law defiance but eventu-
ally had a period put to his career in the
same definite way that Mr.. Brady en-
countered.
The score seems to be mounting rapid
ly in favor of law and order IN the mid
west. For long time the bandits had
things pretty much their own way, play
ing merry game of tag with state ana
municipal officers.
Of late the federal men have entered
the game, throwing the balance in favor
of law and order, though they were not
active in killing Brady. Perhaps it is not
fair to permit such a statement to infer
that state and municipal officials have
been lax or inefficient. 1t might be bet
ter to state that the criminal world fears
above all else the knowledge that federal
officers are on their trail. Why this is
so is rather hard for the layman to un-
derstand, but it is so.
The excellent progress being made
against midwest crime since the feder-
al authorities took hand in it is an ex-
cellent argument, not only for closer CO.
operation between federal and state Off
GERS everywhere, but for creation of dis
tinct federal police on a scale large
enough to deal with the organized GRIM
inal element which has reached such pow
er in the last decade or more.
1t is to be fervently hoped that the
good work will be maintained and that it
will not be confined to the midwest.
The administration is to recognize Gu
va. For its sake we hope it doesn't
: stage another revolution.

prison term for bribery committed as
district attorney of this county. was an

was taken to avoid creating possibly

TEEN by his heroism during the World
war and his just government of his
people.
Albert is succeeded by Crown Prince
Leopold. duke of Brabant. his eldest
son. Leopold is thirty-two years old
and was married in 1926 to Princess
Astrid Of Sweden. They have daugh-
ter and a son. The new ruler was
probably one Of the youngest soldiers
In the World war, enlisting as a pri-
vate when he was thirteen years old.
He was treated as an ordinary soldier,
seeing active service In the trenches,
and was sergeant when the armistice
was signed.
The dead kings funeral was of
course a stately affair. The procession
from the Brussels palace to the cathe-
dral of st. Gudule was led by mounted
gendarmes who were followed by
British, Italian and French troops.
Then came the Belgian troops with
crepe-draped flags. Albert's personal
colors were carried just ahead of the
gun carriage that bore the casket. and
his favorite charger followed. the sad
die empty and field boots reversed In
the stirrups. Next walked Grown

and their brother-in-law, Crown Prince
Umberto of Italy. the latter carefully
guarded by police because of the at

In 1920.
In the throng of notable persons in
the professions were Representatives
of all nations. Ambassador Morris

Next day Leopold was crowned.
with Astrid on the throne beside him.
The parliamentary reply to the new
rulers speech from the throne thanked
the new queen for having given birth
to two children, insuring the perma.
nenee Of the dynasty.
King Albert was the third of his
line. He was born in 1875 and as
cended the throne in 1909. Through
out the war he was one of the most
active members of the Belgian army,
continually at the front TO help his
troops and often in imminent danger
of death. After the armistice he got
the task of reconstruction well under
way and then, with Queen Elizabeth
and Prince Leopold. took journeys to
