he glad, as well as capable. If they had
the opportunity. to enter the field of
school teaching.
Hundreds, we say. of bright youn
women who would make excellent
teachers are forced to give way to mar
ricd women. who bring their lazy and
good-for-nothing husbands here from
other states to support them as loafers
and idlers-women who In fact, rob
the poorhouses of their prey in other
regions in order to bring their precious
bubbles here to subsist on the school
taxes of Chicago-taxes which are
placed at their disposal through the
srhoolmaam wives.
This condition of affairs should bc
changed as quickly as possible We
have been told of cases where school
teachers are married to doctors and
other professional men, and of in.
stances in which they frequently have
several other irons in the fire. This is
rank injustice all round.
The Board of Education should put Il
stop to 1t.
That Harrison's Chief of Police
ONeill has a profound contempt for the
law is shown in the following extract
from Thursdays Tribune:
Chief of Police O'Neill and deputy
from sheriff Magerstadt's office will be
obliged TO appear in Judge Tuley's court
this morning and explain why sum.
mons in habeas corpus proceeding
was not served on the former yester-
day afternoon. shortly after noon q
petition for writ to release Harry La
Sale and John Dooley from the Des.
PLANES Street Police station was filed
and a hearing on the petition set for 4
o'clock by Judge Tuley. A summons
was made out for the Chief of Police
but was not served. as the deputy to
whom that duty was intrusted asserted
that the Chief could not be found
When the time for hearing came Chief
O'Nelll was not present and the deputy
was sent for to explain. The deputy
also was out of the courts reach. Th,
name of the deputy was not revealed
The truth Is said to be that ONeil
barricaded himself In his Office or
Wednesday for fear that the brave and
gallant Colleran might succeed In serv
ing an injunction writ on O'Neill tC
prevent him from discharging the faith
ful but unfortunate oiiiccr-a thing that
he did do with indecent haste.

Good Democrats everywhere through
out Chicago will be glad to hear thu,
Aid. John Powers is once again wher,
he belongs-namely. I'm the front ranks
of the regular Democratic party OF
Cook County.
He is welcomed there by every real
Democrat. because, while he Is II man
true to his convictions and always
ready to stand up. and fight for them
when necessary, he Is II manly. reason.
able fighter, mt heart a most loyal Dem
ocrat. and beyond doubt man Of vast
personal and political influence In this
city.
The Eagle Is glad to be able to state
that there Is now u friendly and thor
oughly satisfactory understanding be-
tween those two sterling Democratic
leaders, John Powers and Robert l..
Burke.
1t IL glad for the sake of the Demo
cratic party because this means that
the last prop has been knocked from
under the Tllden BumOcacy, which
has now left to It for certainty only
one man Of weight and influence In the
cOmmunity-Roger c. sullivan.
Upon Aid. Powers the Tildenites
have been building their fondest hopes
and placing their strongest reliance, be.
cause while Mr.. Powers never declared
his adhesion to their organization, he
had received sufficient provOcation tt
drive him into any movement that hat
for its main object the downfall OF
Mayor Harrison.
The Tildenites knew this and banked
accordingly.
1t Is with great pleasure, therefore
that The Eagle takes this opportunit!
of destroying the last remaining hop,
Of the Bumocracy by announcing au
thoritatively that Mr.. Powers still
stands where he always stood and
where he naturally belongs, with the
regular, the loyal and the winning
Democracy of Chicago and Cook COun.
