Robert E. Burke, for five year
the leader of the local democracy
of Chicago, in fact to Chicago
democracy what Croker is to New
York City democracy, was indicted
last week by grand jnry on the
charge of embezzlement of public
funds. The action of grand jury
come as a thunderbolt out of a
clear sky.
Burke's immediate resignation
following his indictment by the
grand jury and his payment of
t]0,000 in two checks, "to cover
any shortage that might be found
in his accounts," as soon as he
learned of the probable action of
that body, practically was taken as
a confession of his guilt.
Butke is the man who discovered
Carter H. Harrrison and success-
fully landed the latter in the
mayor's office for three consecutive
times.
Through all his years of admin-
istration of the affairs of the city,
Harrison has permitted his lieuten-
ant to dictate his policy as well as
distribute the patronage among the
faithful. Burke's first distribution
included the office of inspector of
oils to himself. That was five
years ago. He has held the office
continually ever since, and unti
his resignation this week.
During that time he has retained
practically all the fees of the office,
although the law permitted him to
retain $3,600 each year as salary,
and required him to turn over the
remainder of his collections to the
city after deducting the expenses of
the office. What the amount of
the fees of his office have been in
that time is not yet known. It is
thought to be in the neighborhood
of #100,000 in exceses of his salary
during the same period.
From a small frame structure in
which Burke made his home during
! of the best avenues of the city
which compares favorably with the
best residences in Chicago. In ad-
dition to his new home, Burke be-
came interested in numerous pri-
vate business enterprises such as
paving contracts and other muni-
cipal snaps.
So great had become the power
of Burke that for the last two
years no attempt was made to over-
rule his imperial decree. The
humble members of the local or-
ganization bowed down to their
chief on all occasions and receiv-
ed their reprimand or reward with-
out a word. His rule was supreme,
and from a viewpoint of machine
rule, superb.
The great power of the Burke
I rule was in its zenith ten days ago.
j Not a word of the intention of the
! grand jury to investigate the office
had at that time been heard.
When the news of the probable
action of that body leaked out, a
change in the situation was at once
apparent.
All the enemies of the leader
turned on him in all their pent-up
rage. With a cry of "no mercy
should be shown Burke," they
began their attack on him. The
indictment was followed by a de-
mand on the part of his enemies
that he resign from his office. After
a short interview with the mayor he
wrote out his resignation and it was
accepted by Harrison. Now the
retirement from the position of
secretary of the Cook county
Democracy is demanded of Burke.
His resignation from that position
is expected. '
In 1896 Burke prevented Harri-
son from going out of his way to
assist Bryan but in 1900 when he
knew Bryan had no chance of
election, like Croker, Burke and
Harrison were enthusiastic for
Bryan. The Democratic party
today is loaded down with too
many men like Burke and Croker
to ever be of any useful service to
the country and the sooner the
rank and file of the party recognizes
this fact the better it will be for
the country. The Republican party
is also in the same rut and it is
time wasted for the people to
look to it for any beneficial reforms.
A new party is an imperative nec-
essity to secure relief from present
industrial conditions.
