DEATH OF ROBERT E. BURKE.
HE WAS FOR MANY YEARS A
STAUNcH FRIEND OF THE
EDITOR OF THIS PAPER.

The latter part of last week Mr..
Robert E. Burke, who was one OF the
best known political leaders or poll
ticians in the United States, closed
his eyes in death, at the Michael
Reese Hospital. 1t can be truly said
that Mr.. Burke was the little Napo-
lean in politics, for when he was on
the top of the tidal wave of political
popularity and strength he made and
unmade mayors of Chicago, judges OF
the circuit and superior courts Of
Cook county, aldermen, congressman
and members of the legislature, and
under the reign of Mayor Carter H
Harrison, the second, the power was
absolute
1t naturally followed that he made
many strong or warm friends and
many lasting or bitter enemies.
His remains were borne from his
late home, l432 North La Sale street,
followed by his devoted wife, Mrs.
Burke, other relatives and many
friends on Monday morning, to the
church of the Immaculate Concep-
ton, where solemn requiem high
mass was celebrated by Rev. Father
Ferring, assisted by Rev. Harry A.
Darche, hero chaplain of the Sixth
Marines, and Rev Father J. D.
Campbell, of Our Lady of Mercy
Parish.
A choir under the direction of Miss
Agnes Mclaughlin, organist, sang
the mass, and among the ushers were
Frank Doyle, assistant custodian of
the County building, and Edward
Tracy. Burial was at Calvary GENE
terry.
Mr.. Burke was always true to his
true friends, regardless of their color
or nationality. Many years ago when
he was at the height of his power
and glory Mr. Burke employed Jacob
Harris, his colored friend, to look
after the famous county democracy
rooms, and after that far famed silk
HATED organization went down Mr..
Burke secured position for Mr..
Harris in the city hall, and later on
in the county building, where he Is
still employed and for many years
Mr.. Harris has lived at the home of
Mr.. Burke and he will still continue
to reside there and look after Mrs
Burke, and the other members of the
family.
For more than twenty years Mr..
Burke was one of our warm friends
and a supporter OF this paper, and
we join with his many other friends
and deeply regret his passing on out
of this world

being, and here we are. at the very
peak of human endeavor reinforced
by the 81 Will" spirit of this great
western metropolis capable of sup
plying the markets of the world with
food, machinery, clothing and thou
sand other world necessities of the
human race
Chicago can boast of her big
hearted mayor whose constructive
mind is too busy to heed the barking
dogs at his heels. He is going for
ward doing things for the public
honor. and for the public good. The
very business life of Chicago feels
the throb, and thrill of Mayor
Thompson in all its varied ramihca-
tons Perhaps no one thing has
done so much for Chicago coming up
out of its stupor consequent of the
war and its unsettled conditions
which were so apparent, even to the
smallest business operatives, as this
wonderful big exposition the magni-
tude of which startles the whole
world with admiration This colossal
enterprise gives our mayor a new
place in history. He has outdone
his enemies, and he has outwon the
multitudes who crowd the big Mu-
nicipal Pier to witness programs Of
vast and marvellous human develop
ment and progress.
1t cannot be charged to any form
of selfshness, or ambition to reap re-
wards 1t is the sole manifestation
of a heart big enough to compass
the smallest interests of the poor
workingman. II is the Thompson
spirit full ablaze to human concern
and human activity.
When we have had time to study
the human impulses and better I'M
dcrstand the underlying motives that
prompt men to do great unselhsh
acts, we may all the better appre-
ciate to the full measure this stupen-
dous and imposing Pageant of Prog
ross, spectacular, magnificent and
helpful alike to all of our thriving,
bustling city christened anew with
life and vigor with the spirit Il Will"

By M. A. Majors.

The Pageant of Progress is one OF
the big thoughts of Mayor Thomp-
son. 1t is in size the kind that real
statesmen contemplate He thought
of it because he has a heart big
enough to think of things that can
help all of humanity. Mayor Thomp-
son is not narrow, but broad and
deep. He loves Chicago like a child
should love its parents, and so he
thinks and feels the noble impulses
of nobleman, realizing that he has
an abundance of friends who love
him and would go to any length for
him should it become necessary.
This child of his brain (the Pa
geant of Progress) has grown to
such proportion and magnitude that
his enemies have to give him praise
in spite of their hatred for the man.
In a thousand ways it helps human
ity. He has touched the dead corpse
of public credit, and it sprang upon
its feet. He has smote the rock of
national resources and immense
streams of revenue burst forth. A
business awakening has commenced,
already all over America hundreds Of
thousands of idle men are today re-
turning to their work. Machinery
harnessed to electricity is beginning
to roar the glad tidings of indefatig-
able industry. A hundred thousand
homes made happy are worth while.
A noble humanitarian thought con-
verted this country into a happy
thriving nation. The prairie needed
the pillow. The forest needed the AK.
The sawmiIls were idle. Mayor
Thompson saw thousands of his fell
low men walking the streets with
nothing at all to 30. 1t got next to
his great big brother heart, and he
told his adversaries to throw away
their hammers and get a horn. The
Boosters Club of Chicago came into
