The assertion that there are no ward
committees calls up II smile ut the
memory of the fact that In the outset
Of its career the Chicago American,
through the influence of Robert T..
Burke, received the Endorsement of
Chicago, on the night Of the election Of
officers, fact which the American pub
lished, together with the names of the
officers ana the location of every one of
the IS ward clubs, next day.
The Eagle takes pleasure In referring
the political editor of the Chicago
American to the files Of his own paper
for confirmation of this statement.
The Chicago American proceeds to

4 comprehensive plan of reorganiza
ton has been suggested which provides
for the following separate organiza
tlons and reforms for the purpose OF
bringing the party close TO the PEG

of news which the Eagle this week re-
produces. for their information from
the columns of one Of Its daily con-
tempOraries:
"To prevent the city from being made
the victim Of combination Of paving

The plan. which originated with Presi-

with the approval Of the remainder OF
the board ana now the only question Is
that Of money.

about 100000.

"REORoAHiZiHG" DEMOCRATS.

Usually our esteemd and brilliant
daily contemporary, the Chicago Amer.
lean, Is we'll informed and accurate,
and eminently fair in criticism and
comment.
In last Wednesdays issue of that
journal, however, there appeared an ar
ticle on the front page, headed Boss
Rule in Democracy TO Co." that ire
sistibly leads to the conclusion that the
political editors or reporters Of the
Chicago American are In n condition Of
dense ignorance regarding the affairs
Of the Democratic party in Cook Coun'
~, subject with which the article In
question pretends to deal.
In the first place, the writer Of this
article evidently had Robert T.. Burke
I'm mind when he wrote II, and evident
", too, the writer il not friendly TO,
ward Mr.. Burke.
The fact that the recognized and
successful Democratic leader should be
thus cOyertly attacked In the columns
Of great Democratic journal like Mr.
Hearst's magnificent paper Is surprls
ing, and all the more so because IN do
ing so the Chicago American Is practl
caly, II not avOwedly, allying Itself
with the buccaneers and Pirates Of
Politics." who have been long cOnspir
ing 10 overthrow the regular Demo
cratic organization Of Cook County, CT
which Mayor Harrison and other repu
table Democrats are the leaders.
There are other reasons, too why II
seems strange to see the Chicago Amer
lean aiding and abetting mo doubt nm
consciously these same buccaneers
and Pirates" In the work to which they
have addressed themselves, but We
have not space nor inclination just now
10 deal with those latter reasons,
But 10 return to the article itself, and

THE FOUR-CENT FARE ABSURDiIY.

Red hrrrlngs like FOrcman's fOur-cent
fare ordinance should not he permitted
to cross the track of real reform trac'
ton legislation. The consideration Of
this ordinance by the Council has been
fixed for Monday night. ana unless all
signs fail 1t will be voted down.
II It should be passed It will he II dead
letter In the municipal code. for the
simple reason that II cannot he en-
forced.
1t Is absurd. impracticable ana I'M
popular.
II IL absurd. from the fact that no
body cares Il cent whether lie IL charged
Il nickel OF four pennies for his fare,
and because II would entail bother to
passengers ana endless trouble, work
ana confusion to street-car conductors.
1t IL impracticable because cOnduc-
tors would not he able to make change
and collect the fares, ana passengers
would he unable to get back their
change during rush hours.
There are other reasons why II IL I'M
practicable. Take u hypothetical case
for illustration:
\ passenger boards II car ana finds all
the seats occupied. Being unable ia
find II seat, he pays four cents ana
stands In the aisle. Later the car
reaches some general transfer point
ana Is almost emptied OF Its passengers
The seats are for the remainder or the
journey two-thirds empty. but the four
cent passenger dare not sit down, De-
cause he only paid for the privilege OF
standing up. In order to avail himself
of the comfort of n seat, though there
are many empty on all sides OF him'
he must first call the conductor ana
nay him the original penny.
But suppose the cars happened 10 DO
crowded, seats and aisles being iiied
How could Il conductor keep track OF
all the f0ur-cent fares or be expected
TO collect the additional cent every time
seat happened to be vacated ana
afterwards taken by a four-cent pas
senger?
The whole proposition Is, we repeat
absurd and impracticable. The people
of Chicago want brOad-gauge traction
measures, not one-cent legislation,
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1901-10-26

This all reads very silly in view of the
facts given above by The Eagle and
needs no further answer
The balance of the article under dis
cussion Is based upon misconception
of the formation of the organization
and of the difficulties of working 1t har-
moniously and effectively as dense as
that shown by the opening statement.
Further down i'm the body of the ar
ticle the writer woke up to a realization
that there are ward clubs. but did not
seem to understand that these are prac-
tically ward committees.
He says:
bossed by the fellow who had the most
City Hall patronage. Whenever there
was an election the pay roll crowd
would he on hand.
THE club boss would appoint com
mittcc of pensioners who would come
back with a report in the shape of Il list
of club officers and these would be
gavcled through.
"The ward club President thus elect
| cd names the precinct captains with
out consulting the people of the pre-
| cincts."
The Eagle would respectfully ask
Mr.. Hearst if this goes" in reference
to the Democratic ward clubs of this
city which unanimously indorscd the
Chicago American u year or so ago.
and which Endorsement was jubiliantly
and prominently displayed in its col.
umns the day following!
The last few paragraphs of the ar.
ticlc are taken up with u discussion of
absurd propositions about promising
young orators" who could not get as
signments to speak Mt Democratic meet
ings unless they had "a pull ware
campaign committees for developing
and encouraging young Democrat,
speakers" whose fire and ZEAL woul,
not then be lost to the party"
The story. except that portion of |
which displays SO much lack of knowl
edge of Cook County Democratic poll
tics. seems to have been inspired b.
the old parliamentary bands" that ar
back of the conspiracy of the Bucca
neers and Pirates for the destruction q
the Democratic party.
The lack of information on the pal
of the political editor places the Who'll
yarn In the light of rldiculc this time.
But we would respectfully ask th
American this question:: "In view of u
the facts does 1t think II Is acting jus
fairly to the Democratic party and II
leader in taking the attitude espresso
In the article Iuotcd?" Hardly.

cess was attninnble only by asslduous
and intelligent attention to the work
that cnme to him. He did not hesitate
ut hardlships nor fnlter In the face of
difficulties. He moved resolutely for
ward with answering purpose to the
accomplishment of those results which
always characterize energetic attention
to duty well performed. He regarded
life us Il field within which every one
Is under obligation to accomplish the
hest that IL In him and he recognized
that reward belonged only to him who
should perform his work faithfully, pa
tiently ana hopefully.
We never can be content either with
ourselves or our conditions unless we
feel that we are making the best of
them; and 1t was with this view that
he. In whose honor We offer this me-
mortal to-day, regarded the purpose
of his life. II wis In Il manly spirit
he assumed the burdens common to all
of us who We're his associates. and
without OstentatiOn he carried himself
In II manner that endeared him to us
all. Such life IL worthy of even u
more beautiful ana more lasting memo
rial than this which we now offer, bc-
cause such u life IL an inspiration ana
help.
And so there come to us all. from the
example OF him whom we remember as
n friend. the recOllectiOns of his broad
spirit, of his courtesy, of his aifabillty;
ana with alfectiOnate loyalty to the
memory of him whose kindly deeds we
gratefully recall we fcrvently trust our
modest tribute may help TO encourage
and tighten the way of many strug-
Cling and earnest hearts.

clusiOn of Mr.. Brine's address. The

The window Is striking in design, and
of superior workmanship. II was made
by Edward H. Sperry, of New York,
ana the marble setting of the window
was designed by John W. Foster, of
| Armour Il Co. The window Is designed
to represent success, and Is In three
divisions. The central figure Is that
of n powerful youth grasping n wreath
In his right hand, ana symbolical OF
| achievement. In each of the side di-
| visions are two female figures, persona
flying the forces of nature-motlOn,
light. heat and gravity. The figures are
surrounded by borders of flowers, In
which Mr.. Armour's favOrite flowers,
the orchid and the tleur,de-lis, pre-
dominate. The window il placed at the
