THE HiNDiCATiON Of BURKE.

Already the band of snarling coyotes
which howled ut the heels of Robert
T.. Burke during the past few weeks
has scattered and gone off in search of
easier prey.
The sturdy leader OF the local De.
mOcracy has come out of the ordeal
so far, as everybody expected he would
triumphant, His friends have proven
loyal To him, steadfast in their devo-
ton and unblinded or mlsled by the
clouds of Misrepresentation and cal,
jimmy raised around him by the con
splrators who sought his destruction.
His party, through the flower Of Its
organized bodies, has declared its un
shaken confidence in him and thrown
defiance at his enemies.
The Tilden skates, organized and led
by the PIRATES OF Politics" for the eX
press purpose OF breaking Burke's
power, have been tabOOed and hunted
everywhere they have attempted ia
show themselves. Whenever and wher-
ever ''iilden' head has been shown
IL has been hit and hard hit at that
The Harrison League has Endorsed
II, r.. Burke, and that, too with no un-
certain sound.
The mention OF Burke's name was
the signal for an enthusiastic outburst
OF cheering, at the meeting Of this body
last Saturday evening, and he was
praised and Endorsed as the tried and
true leader, ever loyal and almost in.
variably successful, Of the Democratic
party in this city.
The County Democracy has Endorsed
him In the most emphatic manner by
re-electing him secretary. The rusca
rOra Club, the famous young North Side
Democratic organization, has not only

The Eagle Is glad to be able to an
n0unce that another public reform upon
which 1t has long insisted, and which II
has week after week urged upon the
City Council as an absolute necessity
Ii now In a fair way to realization.
The unsightly and dangerous over
head trolley wires are to be put under
ground at as early date as possible
beginning with the downtown district
The work will then spread throughout
the entire city, until not a single over
head trolley wire will be seen within
the limits of this city.
This Is the ultimatum which ma
jOrity OF the Local Transportation Com
mittee of the City Council has deter
mined on as one of the chief conditions
OF the extension of street railway fran
chises, which expire In 1908. Those who

1t IL said on good authority that nu-
merOus, and in recent years constantly
increasing strikes among the building
and other trades are driving the big
manufactures out Of Chicago.
One Of the latest Of these current re.
ports IL that the Marine Engine Works

apparent purpose being to ultimately

WINGED that labor agitation has become

ana that az such, conditions here have
become not only unfavOrable to manu-

deadly to 1t.
This has forced upon the minds OF
thinking people the conviction that II

cles.
Under the circumstances complained
Of. the real, law-abiding and resident
labor element of Chicago will be the
greatest sufferers.
We do not refer now to that element
Of organized labor, the members OF
which seem to value political job
more than the interests Of the great
mass Of their fellow workingmen.
The jOb-hunting element lives by
strife, and makes 1t Its business In life
to stir up continual warfare upon capt.

provides by Its enterprise, employment
and wages for the wOrklngmen Of Chi

time threaten this city that caused by

strikes Ii the greatest. Drive our manu-
factories out OF Chicago and this city
will drop like collapsed balloon.

must be no strikes among the employees
of the great manufacturing firms, I'M
less where great and crying grievances
arise, and all reasonable and peaceful
methods for their ameliOratiOn or re-
mOval have failed.
Agitation, ''picket duty" unreasOn-
able demands and anarchistic methods
for the enforcement of them must be
absolutely and positively discontinued.
Conservative and intelligent action In
protecting the interests and enforcing
the reasonable demands of law-abiding,
organized labor must prevail II the
interests of all concerned are not to
suffer.
Another feature of the situation to
which we desire to refer In this con-
nectiOn is the inadequate police pro-
lection given to life and property In
this city.
OF course. every thinking person
knows that this Ia no fault of the city
administration, but Is due to multi
plicity of circumstances over which 1t
has had no control.

A ROTTEN Wealth DEPARTMENT.

In the weekly bulletin sent out last
week by the crowd Of political fOs-
silis ana superannuated bOOze-fght-
ers, dlgnifed by the title of City Health
Department, The Eagle was amused ut
discovering the following luminous
passage:
Last week the 397 deaths reported
represented an annual rate of HI per
thousand of populations: for the week
ended Oct. 10 the $40 deaths reported
represented an annual rate of only
1913. The nearest approach to these
marvclously low figures was for the
week of June %. when the rate was
l2.Oi-a figure which an eminent sani-
tary authority, DIR. George NJ. Gould,
editor Of American Medicine, charac-
terIscd as an absolutely splendid re-
suit"
This Is rich and entertaining.
Absolutely splendid results" quotha!
Results of what, pray, Mr.. Health
Commissioner!
Is it of the "usable" water at the
Lake View crib?
Is 1t OF the potable" fluid at the
Chicago avenue intake.
Or can it he of the suspicious" COM

which to the average intelligence
means that the drinking supply Of the

city differs mt the various intakes only
as to the degree with which 1t Is d.
luted with sewage.
But perhaps the results" the depart.
ment Is staggering about accrue from
the filthy alleyways, the Inefficient
scavengers. the dead animal contract
that Is only carried out on one side.
namely. the payment of the contrac-
tors bills. the rendering tanks. whose
pollution fills the atmosphere of resi-.
dence districts. and to which all ma.
terial "renderable.' including the rot.
ting carcases of dead animals. are
cartcd through the streets for miles by
order of the Health Department.
1t Is said. by the way. that certain of
these rendering firms are thus favored
because they are on the ground floor
In the Health Department.
Or. perhaps. the splendid results may
have been caused by the fact that fa.
vOred rendering works are maintained
by the sheltering arm of the Health
Department against the protests of the
citizens. poisoning the atmosphere with
an insufferable stencil that offends the
nostrils Of all Chicago.
And again It may he attributable to
the fish" inspector, whose mysterious
duties have hecn carried on under the
fostering care of the Health Commits
siOner for 10 these many years.
Maybe so. maybe so.
But The Eagle thinks otherwise. II
believes the splendid results are not
due to the City Health Department. but
to the divine interposition of Provi.

"EQVALIZERS" EXTRAORDINARY
CHAN0E OF HEART.

II was no idle warning that this Jour-
nnl uttered when In a recent edition
Il intimnted that the State Board Of
Equalization would bear watching In
dealing with the taxation OF corpora.
tons and corporate franchises In Cook
County.
The recent performances Of that
body have proven that the misglvings
we then expressed but mildly We're
but too well founded, and Il now be.
comes the duty not only OF the press.
but of the constituents Of the gentle
men who compose this body to see to 1t

That body has shown decided

executed an almost complete right
abOut.face on the questions Of absorb.
Ing interest to the public Of Chicago and
Of Cook County upon which they had
ut first taken up such satisfactory
attitude from the standpoint Of the gen
eral taxpayer.
What are these influences ana by
whom are they exercised?
The Eagle Ii not In a condition to
state positively, hut 1t can state a few
significant facts and circumstances
tending to show how the wind blows
and from which Its readers may draw
their own conclusions.
| Since the State Board of Equaliza-
ton discussed corporate and franchise
taxation before a delegation represent.
Ing the great mass Of Chicago taxpay.
ers couple of weeks ago, that body has
been visited by representatives Of the
Chicago corporations.
The representatives ana tax agents
of the railroads have been there and
pleaded with the "eQualizers."
The representatives of the Mnnufac'
turers Association have been there and
have also pleaded with the equalizers.
The representatives OF the Pullman
Palace Car Company, and indeed
agents ana wire pullers for almost
every big corporation possessing fran
chises and other holdings not taxed iI
the past, but declared taxable by the
Supreme Court In its recent celebrated
decision, have been before the board
ana have used arguments with the
members.
Able lawyers and Old-time and ex'
perienced lobbyists have "labored' In
the interests OF the railroad corpora
lions.
The Manufacturers Association sent
a committee representing millions OF
untaxed property and headed by MAR
ty" Madden, not unknown to fame, and
what Is the result?
The State Board of Equalization hal
decided to hold secret sessions and tt
discuss and 'equalize" Its assessments
behind closed doors.
Last Tuesday the cOntiding public Of
Chicago was shocked to learn by wire
that Mayor Harrison and the repre-
sentative committee Of citizens hi
