through the Civil Service Commission.
but through outsiders as usual, and
there was great hullabaloo about 1t.
Rosenheim made full confession OF
the fraud to Hon. Adolf Kraus, at tina,
time the head of the Harrison Commits.
sion.
Now what do you suppose was don"
IN the matter?
As soon as kraus ceased to be a Civ.
il Service Commissioner and more
delectable body showed into his place.
Roscnheim was given u job as Assist.
ant Ward Superintendent. which job he
now holds.
oh. Reform,
Another case in point is that of n
man who was discharged from an i'm.
portant city department for changing
the figures and specifications In i'm
portant contracts whereby the city lost
a great deal of money.
DO you think this man is still out
side the breastworksI
oh. no. indeed.
tHuPT tHe HptOTlOuS NlNu SERVICE
law. as administered by notorious
Civil Service Commission, it is an easy
thing for wcll-educated thief or
crook to get into public office over the
heads of honest and deserving. but
poorly educated men.
Hence this thief and crook is again
working in the City Hall.
oh. Reform!
1t was clearly proven in the case of
Kanter ct al. in the Criminal Court
that questions made up by the Harrison
Civil Service Commission were sold to
people who took part in a policeInan's s
promotional examination.
Kanter ct al. were fined $1,000 each
for selling the aforesaid questions OF
the Harrison Civil Service examine
tions.
oh. Reform.
There are number of other eases
where thieves, crooks AND WORSE
have been passed on to the payrolls OF
the city by Harrison's a. L. AS.
Honest men in the meantime car
walk the streets.
We will take pleasure in going fur

There Is one thing you will have tt
stop. Mayor Harrison. II you want the
support of the Chicago business men
and that IL the periodical and frequent
touching" Of merchants In your name
and that of the city administration
The Eagle believes that you know
nothing Of this. but 1t Is very hard to
convince the business community. ana
especially those having business with
the City Hall. that you do not. You
are standing on bigger volcano III
this matter than you are aware Of
All Chicago Is up In arms against
the \. +. A. Civil Service Commission
The triumvirate of bgots who have
been using their position and authority
to drive every person suspected of Irish
birth or lineage out Of the employ OF
the city Of Chicago must be relieved OF
office. or Mayor Harrison will have tc
reckon with the IrlshAmerican and
German citizens Of Chicago.
For many moons the public of this
city has been closely watching the do
ings OF the Three Tailors OF ToOle,
Street who dispense the civil servic,
law with all the austerity. pompous
ness and imperlous assumption Of Tu
thorty that one might expect from til,
High Court Of Judicaturc or a LOr,
High Chancellor Of His Gracious Ma
jesty the King Of all England.
But the exposure Of the cruel an,
unjust treatment meted out to CAPITAL,
Luke +. Colleran by the commission
last week was the last straw upon til
patient back of the public.
The Eagle was the only journal 4
Chicago to protest against the bruta
treatment given that brave and faitl
upon having done so In such a wa
as to arouse the indignation Of I'll
fair-minded and unprejudced people I
this city, who, as the Civil Service Con
mission will ind out. are still owe
whelmlngly in the majority.
The Cook County Democracy ha
gone on record most enfphatically
regard to the matter.
At its last meeting 1t passed ami
ihunders Of applause resolutions whic
show distinctly just where the Demo,
racy Of Cook County stands with +,
gard 10 this the latest outrage perp,
trated by Mayor HarrisOn's \. +. !,
Civil Service Commission.
The Eagle takes pleasure in prcscn
Ing these resolutions in full, and also !
calling the attention of Mayor Harr
son TO the fact that they were vote
for and checred to the echo by life-lOn
Democrats Of Chicago; men who WEI
waging the battles Of the party whe
the present Mayor of Chicago was
swaddling clothes.
II Mayor Harrison Is capable Of rea'
ing the signs Of the times he will tai
action and that without delay in J.
gard TO this outrage upon one of Il
best and most capable subordinate
one of the bravest and most efiiciei
servants Of the people Of Chicago, an
one Of the most loyal Democrats WI
