ties at their convention the other day
IN the town of Aurora, III. IL Is also
seldom that II Mayor of this city has
made such II political or tactical blum.
der aS to bring upon himself such II
political boomerang.
The German Catholic Societies asked
the Mayor to give them representation
on the School Board. and the Mayor
replied 10y appointing men who stood
for free textbooks, which, it is claimed
Is the proposition most strongly calcu-
lated 10 upset and destroy the parochial
systems, ana the idea of parOchlal cdu-
cation.
or course in this fight the German
Catholics will have the support and
cooperation of the German Luthcrans,
their interests being identical.

MAHONY SHOULD BE REELECTED,

Among the many men of courage and
ability who have represented the people
of Chicago and of Illinois in Congress,
not one has made. within such II brief
period. Il more excellent record than
Hon. William +. Mahony. who will I'M
doubleday he rcnominated. and tri.
umphantly elected from the Eighth
Congressional District.
|. Mr. Malony has been right on every
question of public policy that has come
up since his election to the National
Legislature. and has earned the rcspcc,
of colleagues on both sides of the
House. as well as the esteem and con.
iidcncc of the country. In referring to
MIR. Mahonys past and prospective ser
vices to his country in his capacity MS
national legislator. The Eagle some
time ago said among other things.
that our soldiers and veterans had
ito more loyal friend In Congress or
outside of It than he. Recent develop
ments have demonstrated that The
Eagle knew whereof IL spoke at that
time. and at the recent Republican
State convention Hon. Thomas Cannon
paid the Chicago Congressman the fol.
lowing handsome tribute on that score
| Mr.. Cannon was discussing the Phil
ippinc question, and his remarks led up
to the advisability and possibility of the
United States maintaining control Of
the Islands. Continuing along that line
Congressman Cannon proceeded to say:
81 fancy hear somebody saying: Mr.
Cannon. how do you know they are
doing ity Let me give you one little cir.
cumstance In the House Of Representa-.
tives. when l had the honor to have en-.

that was before the House for passing.

what happened? We had n roll call.
Every Republican voted for It: every
Democrat voted against 1t. save lone
seven. Among these seven was Ma.
hOny of Illinois. I want to mention his
name. because when the time came he
was patriotic. instead Of partisan.
Grand old Amos Cummings Of New
York. who died last week. never shall
forget him-thrillcd the House when
one Of his Democratic friends said: sit
down when he was voting. Listen tn
two lines Of his reply:
"'When I fail 10 vote to protect the
lives Of American soldiers In the service
Of the American republic. l hope ] shall
be paralyZetl.'"
The soldier element never fOrgcts
Its true friends and will take pleasure
In adding to the enormous Democratic
ajOrity which his district II good for

"0ET7iH0 CLOSE TO THE PEOPLE. "

There has been great deal of nub
dub INDUCED in OF late In certain quar-
tiers OF Democratic circles about get
ting close to the people.
II Is noticeable that this kind of bun
oombe Is mostly used by the City Hal
Pay.Roll Union.
But mark how these individuals pro
pose to get close 10 the people!
Their plan Is: First, to place the
conduct OF the Democratic end of the
campaign in the hands of an "Advis
cry Committee" which Is to become
later on the actual campaign commit
lee, and which Is 10 be composed Of
all the rich men of the party; and, sec
ond, 10 nominate "a silk stocking
ticket"
This is getting close to the people
with vengeance.
The Eagle Is vastly mistaken, how
ever, II the great Democratic party of
Cook County is going TO be guided by
any such advice. II Is all very well
10 get our wealthy citizens interested
In our political affairs, but 1t is a diff
A'''Ht NAAhE VI IhNt liI'Ih iHouopoiiH'
control Of said political affairs.
IL Is all very well TO name rich men
for places where pecuniary consider
atiOns might tempt a poor man from
the strict path Of duty. but it Is diff
ferent thing 10 declare ny implication
that all poor men succumb 10 tcmpta-
ton when temptation comes.
II i all very fine 10 give the wealthy
classes representation on our tickets
when they want 1t or are willing 10
accept but It should be remembered
that the poor, plain people are entitled
10 representation, too.
IL should not be forgotten, either,
that In all political parties in all coun-
tries the poor are ia an immense ma
jorty.
And IL must he remembered that
when all has been said and done, the
plain people will rule in this free land.
The Eagle desires 10 say 10 the Dem
ocrats of Cook County that II they
want the plain people t. rule In this
election they must all ke a hand in
