EDITORIAL OPINION
Japan's Self Restraint.
1m the New York oIobe.

From the New York Globe.
Japan has added to the international
repute in which she is held by the self
restraint her Government has shown
during the protraoted dispute over the
genuuneness OF French neutrality. There
is probably not another nation in the
world which, under similar clrcum-
stances, would nor have proceeded to
aggressive action.
In the case OF Japan and France, ow-
Ing to the peculiar tenor Of the Anglo
Japanese treaty OF alliance. Japan's
anger was not cooled by prudential con-
siderations- with Japan Threatened by
Rojestvensly's armada, Japanese self
ishness suggested manoeuverlng. ito get
the use OF Great Britains poUerful
aeet. That Japen could have made out
a good case Mhea, ,Eslnng for its assist
ance is manifest. Hairsplitting aside,
the large fact Is undenled that for a
month Rojestvensly has been allowed
to play hide and seek in and out OF
French watres. Yet Japan held her
French waters. Yet Japan held her
most considerate ally and gives her
right to claim that her desire for gem
eral peace is a matter OF conduct as
Wen as Of rhetoric.

wEAvER's somHsHELL.

II HE arrogant and shameless band
y OF looters which have had Phil
adelphia BY the throat received a shock
yesterday that surprised and even
stunned them. They had gone so long
on the assumption that no bit Of in
fanny would result IN their undoing
that they assumed as a matter of
course that the mayor would do their
bidding For wasn't he their mayor?
Hadn't they taken him from compare
tive obscurity and made him district
attorney and then mayor? what need
was there to consult him? Any inde-
pendence on his part would bring down
on his head the wrath Of the machineg
he aidn't dare.
That Is about what they thoughtan
said. but he did dare. He has dened
the most powerful political ring in any
municipality, and from this time for
ward practically every oniceholder ev-
cry politician from high to low, is his
enemy John Weaver cannot live long
enough and cannot do sumclent pen-
ance 70 set back into the rings good
gracee.
He dismissed his two important di-
rectors, the officers who together con-
troll three-fourths Of all the patronage
and the contracts Of Philadelphia. And
Philadelphia actually held its breath
for a moment at the news that two
notoriously UNIT officers had been sent
into retirement
Naturally the question arises why
has the mayor taken this course after
having appointed such men and after
having endured the stigma Of their
conduct so long? The answer is easy,
and we recently had the explanation
from the lips Of man who under
stands the qualifications Of Phnadel-
phia politics as thoroughly as any
body This then is the explanation:
John Weaver when elected deter
mined TO be good mayor. His in
stincts and training led him towards
decency. But the ring had named him
and II was ali-powerful. He felt that
he could accomplish little save through
the organization. We may imagine the
troubled moments that he has had. but
Events lead steadily to the point where
he had to break irrevocably with the
ring or throw to the winds all pretense
Of decency He chose to retain his
self-respect. Possibly he realizes now
that he owes the ring no gratitude. for
II the ring placed him in power It had
no right to demand that he follow Il
In criminal pursuits. The -'mayor is
the peoples servant and if they haven't
the power to make ; I'M and have him
serve them, then it is because their
rights have been stolen,
SO John Weaver dehes the ring that
is neither Republican nor Democratic
but criminal. Now he has got to fight
for his existence. Passive goodness
will not do now. He must be alert
cunning, must strike powerful blows
ask no quarter and give none. He may
prove to be another Folk. for Weaver
has both the grit and the capacity If
his energies shall be turned m the
right direction.

COLD NIGHTS CAUSE cATARRH.
Everyone Should Use Hyomei and Kill
the Germs.


No other season of the year is re-
sponsible for as many cases Of catarrh
as the Spring. The war mdays and
cold nights. with their frequent and
sudden changes in temperature, bring
the catarrhal "snumes" to nearly ey-
elyono.
The best physicians long ago saw
the folly Of taking medicine into the
stomach to kill catarrhal germs i'm the
head and throat. Air alone can reach
these germs, and today the most suc-
cessful physicians prescribe Hyomei
for all catarrhal troubles.
The germ killing and health giving
Hyomei. when breathed through the
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit penetrates TO the most remote
cells Of the air passages and respira
tory organs. 1t searches out and kills
catarrhal germs in the head throat
and lungs, soothes and heals the irri-
tated mucous membrane. and absolute
