ing of the public funds. the men who
shall administer their laws from the

will he timely and canot fail of having
Il tremendous effect upon the body of
the people. That there have been such
caucuses and cabals during the past
few weeks Is u fact that cannot hut
have come to the attention of every
reader of the public press in Chicago.
They have been held M midnight and
behind closed doors. What Is the mys-
terious object surrounding these secret
candlelight conferences! What foul
work have they I'm hand that the par.
ticipants In them are afraid of the light
of day? Can the Democrats of Cook
County stand for it! The Eagle be-
lieves they cannot afford to do so. and
so far as the Cook County Democracy
is concerned The Eagle has no hesita.
ton In making the assertion that that
organization most assuredly will not
do so.

In SO far as the alleged sclf-styled
leaders of the so.callesl Democratic
central organization have gone In their
preparations for the campaign. there
has been nothing definite done beyond
appointing IA "silk stocking" advisory
committee and the laying Of plans ana
arrangements for the judiciary Of Cook
County to perpetuate Its own personnel
on the bench.
We refer here to the plan for the sit.
ting Democratic Judges to name the
men who are to be nominated on the
Democratic ticket for the vacancies on
the bench of the Superior, the Circuit,
the County and the Probate Courts.
In previous editions The Eagle point
ed out the un.DemOcratic features of
this proposition. 1t showed that upon
Il species of reciprocity arrangement
the incumbcnts of the bench could per.
petuate themselves In office for the
term OF their natural lives. 1t seems
strange indeed that there should not
appear any disposition on the part OF
these so-called leaders to do anything
or make any move In the direction OF
bringing the election of the Judiciary
more close to the common people, whose
interests are those that are really at
stake In these days of government by
Injunction, when the constitutional
rights OF the people are being gradual
ly infrlnged upon through the weight
and influence of wealth and capital
even In the domain OF the blind god
dcss, II IL enough almost to make tn,
scales of Justice fall from her hand,
to find that those charged with the ad
ministratiOn OF the law are no longer
the free and unhampered selection OF
the whole people.
