FRED ELDRED rs III.

Last week was remarkable for events
calculated to grleve and sadden the
Democrats of Cook County, though
nothing can daunt them.
Not the least of the regrettable incl
dents of the week was the striking
down by paralysis Of Mr.. Fred Il.
Eldred, the well-known Democratic
leader and organizer, and the all1Ound
good citizen and splendid gentleman.
Mr.. Eldred's affection came, as do all
of this kind, unexpectedly, catching
him in the prime of manhood and
rugged health.
He had only been complaining of
some slight pains in his back for day
or two when he was stricken.
Mr.. Eldred had driven with his wife
to visit his brother, DR.. w. II, Eldred
and was fastening his rig in front OF
the latter's residence in Irving Park
when his limbs gave way under him
and he sank TO the ground In helpless
condition.
He received immediate medical at
tentlon, and although his condition j.
pronounced serious, there Is strong hop'
for his ultimate recovery and restOra
! ton to health.
Not only did every Democrat In Cool
County, but also every citizen, IRE
spectlve of party or class, who had thu
pleasure and good fortune Of Mr.. FL
dred's acquaintance hear with keen re
gret last Sunday of the blow that hat
fallen upon him.
OF him 1t can be truly said that he hai
been foremost Of the old guard-th'
brayest Of the braye--of the Democ
racy Of Chicago and Cook County.
Ever loyal, his friends could Away
depend upon him In hours of war ant
adversely as well as In hours Of peace
and prosperity.
He was IGNORED with the Office o
City Sealcr during the first term of tn
present Mayor of Chicago, Hon. Carte
II. Harrison, by whom he has Away
been regarded as a most trustwOrth.
and devoted personal friend, as well a
political adherent.
He has served for long time a.

chance to defend themselves. and des-
pitc the protests of the three Judges
In whose courts they served.
But IL those who are responsible for
the condition of public excitement
caused by the wholesale charges OF
jury bribery imagine. it can be allayed
by attacking or indicting two or three
attorneys and causing the discharge
of u few bailiffs. they are nightly mis-
taken.
The Investigation must now go UP
higher. If there are tools for iury-brib-
ing i'm the courts of Cook County, where
are parties who used themT If juries
arc bribcd in courts. the public wants
to know did the bribing.
The Grand Jury lately dissolved may
rest assured that the public will not be
satisfied now until all who have had
| any hand in the alleged corruption of
| ,le courts shall be brought to justice
as well as the humble individuals who
are charged with being the instruments
by which it was accomplished.
The promises of the self-cOnfessed
| iury-briber previous to and after the
announcement of the indictments of the
attorneys and the dismissal of the bail.
IFS are not forgotten and must be
made good now. The Grand Jury can.
not cover its retreat Let's hear the
names of the bribcrs now, Mr. States
Attorney.
1t was announced through the pres.
that some of the biggest. most promi
nent and most reputable citizens OF
Chicago would he involved In thu
meshes of the dragnet before tn,
Grand Jury adjourned. They have no
naterializcd yet.
Who are they?
Are they men with pull?
Evidently they have the strongest
kind of a pull. otherwise the lat,
Grand Jury would have indicted them
The public was told to be prepared
to be astounded.
1t is prepared and is now anxiousl,
awaiting the process.
As for the particular case of the ut
taclics of the courts of Judges Stein
Kavanagh and Hanecy, we wish mere
~ to point out that nothing can be salt
!. against the integrity or standing In thu
community of these three gentlemen.
They are unanimous I'm testifyin,
to the good character and reputation o
the deputy sherlffs. They are lawyer
and men of keen perception. The fOu
men were under the eyes Of the jurist
every day i'm court, and the judge
ought to be in position to know n
least rs well as the Performers" Of tn
Grand Jury whether the four baillfr
were honest men or not.
The public will take the words o
Judges Stein. Kavanagh and Hanec
before it will accept the statements q

The situation taken all In all IL
most peculiar one, and The Eagle con

BONFlELD'S WINOY THREATS.

The only Bonfield Is out with n dec
laratiOn that he is going to turn up all
kinds of corruption and rottenness in
connection with police and municipal
affairs generally.
1t is to be hoped he will not disclose
any of the doings of certain of his rela.
tiOns-in-law while engaged in this merl.
toriOus crusade, because If he did he
would cause the people to hold their
noses without accomplishing any good,
for the law of limitations would render
his efforts useless.
The truth would seem to be, however,
that the oleaginous James, notwith-
standing the possession by him Of a
quarter of million or over, still has
a laundering after the payroll, ana is
angry that he is about to be deprived

HARRISON At THE HELM.

Whatever may be the outcome OF the
attack upon Robert Il. Burke. there IL
poor consolation for the political brig.
ands who hope to profit by 1t in the d.
rection Of getting control Of the Demo
cratic party organization.
Not one Of those who bascly deserted
the party In the days Of stress and
strife with the common enemy, and
who sold II out for a mess Of pOttage
In those crucial times, will ever be per.
mitted to regain their positions either
as leaders or as workers In the party
organizers.
The greatest Democratic leader In the
West says he will take personal charge
Of the work Of the organization and
run II himself should his trusty friend
and political manager be forced into
retirement (and we repeat this Is not
ut all likely.
Let the schemers listen to these
words Of Mayor Harrison, quoted liter
ally from his lips, and then go and
strew ashes on their heads.
Says the Mayor:
III II becomes necessary to run the
machine I will run 1t myself. am
willing to give full time to the work Of
my office, but claim the right to spend
the time allowed me for recreation or
pleasure as ! please. After this fall l
may be willing to give up spare time
to political matters"
Thus 1t Is clear that neither traitors
from the outside nor ambitious schem.
ers from within shall ever inherit the
leadership should 1t be dropped by
Robert Il. Burke.

LEADERSHIP OF The LOCAL DE-
MOCRACY.

Political prophets and spectators are
already busy discussing the successor
ship to Robert Il. Burke's position as
leader Of the Democratic organization.
They may as well save themselves
the trouble, at least until the present
leader has been found unfit for further
leadership.
This is not likely to occur, Mt least not
In the near future, for up to date Rob
crt T.. Burke has been the most sue
ccssful guide, pilot and captain that
the Democratic organization In Chi
cago has ever had
1t may be that the future holds de-
feats and disaster in store for him, but
II it does they have not as yet even cast
a shadow before them.
OF course, the speculation referred t.
arises from the recent action OF the
Grand Jury, but although, through q
mean bit Of political trickery, an indict
ment against Mr.. Burke has been pro
cured, he has not yet been found guilty
Of any crime, nor Of any offense.
1t is the opinion Of this journal that
Mr.. Burke will never be so convicted.
The natural conclusion therefore IL
that Robert Emmett Burke will remain
at the helm for many long day tc
come, His friends in the party-and
they compose the entire rank and file
(for his enemies are all outside of it,
will stand by him now and always,
His retirement from controlling
and directing position in the local party
affairs can only come Of his own Volt
ton, lie will never be deposed because
his retirement would mean an almost

Few BuffalOes Left.

A recent estimate places the
number of American bison remain.
ing alive in the world at 1924, of
which 6S4 are captive. But it is
not possible to be exact in such a
statement, inasmuch as the wild
survivors cannot be rounded up
and counted. In the densely
wooded region between the Sas.
katchewan and Peace rivers, in
British Columbia, are several hun.
dred buffalo; there are twenty or
so in the desert Pan Handle re.
giOn of Northwest Texas, and in
the Yellowstone National Park
there are fifty or sixty more, it is
believed. There are none at lib.
erty anywhere else. These few
remaining wild bison are being
steadily reduced in number. In
British Columbia they are being
killed off gradually by the Indi'
ans, while those in the Yellow
stone Park are potted by poach'
ers whenever a chance offers. A
mounted head of one of these an,
imals is worth 5000, ..and a skin
brings a good price.
