Mayor Weaver Of Philadelphia
Wins a Great Fight.
And the Gas Steal, So Bitterly Opposed by
the People, Is Dead.

Philadelphia, May 2s.-After con-
test lasting five days. the Republican
"organiZation' was forced, Saturday,
by public opposition and clamor to

lease OF the city gas works to the Unit

the extension of the lease which the
company now holds.

tate agent has on his list a piece Of
property for which the owner il
willing TO take $1,000, but he
agrees with the agent that he may
have all above that amount. Sup
pose the agent sells the property
for 81, 800, has he not obtained
81, $50 by means of graft, allowing
for his commission of $3.50? Surely
he has; for the purchaser has been
kept in the dark about the real
status Of the transaction, and
through such means has been
bilked out Of s2,250; and both the
original owner and the agent are
guilty Of graft. But such trans.
actions are legal. Therefore such
cases are cases of legalized grating.
The marshalled hosts of graft
hunters now attacking the evil
from the public rostrum and
through the press are rapidly edu-
eating the public mind and con.
science against what is generally
called graft, but their system of
education is entirely too super

Norway and Sweden.

1t Is reassuring to learn that the Swedish
foreign minister formally denies that the
military activity In Sweden has any bear
ing upon the recent separation of Norway
from the union. From other sources come
indications that there Is no foundation for
the war scare. There is absolutely no occa-
sion for an armed conflict between the ma
tons which have been split into their nat
ural and original components, each pre-
serving its distinct individuality, which has
lost nothing of its sharpness during the
years OF association. A war conducted by
Sweden to prevent Norway from establish
ing as an independent state would be un-
warranted. 1t would be condemned by the
world. save so far as selfish interests are
involved. 1t would possibly even fail be-
cause of the general feeling that Norway
has perfect right to call for separate
establishment instead OF the dual admins
tration which has never met her require

thorization for the sale. The dealers books
would be open to occasional inspection by
the police, who could thus keep track of the
weapons in private ownership obtained In
this way.
With statute of this kind in force 1t
would be impossible for a man to rush on
In moment of rage and buy a gun. If he
felt greatly aggrieved or injured by an
enemy and desired to kill him he would
need frst to go to court and secure per-
NIT to buy a weapon This would require
some days and would give his anger time
to cool and his Judgment a chance to assert
itself. There would be fewer crimes of
violence. There would be a great diminu-
ton In the number of weapons carried
habitually on the person. There would be
less work for the courts in disposing of the
most serious classes Of offenses.
And meanwhile 1t Is interesting to find
that there Is no disposition or no law to
punish the man In this case who was found
in the act of buying a pistol and yet not
being actually armed. was not amenable to
any of the police departments rules. The
utterance of threats to kill. even against an
unnamed person. should constitute crime.
There is altogether too much loose talk of
murder In intent, whether there Is a serious
purpose behind 1t or not. Human life is
entirely too lightly regarded In these days

The Indicted Packers.

The indicted beef trust magnates open
their campaign in a way to get the full
benefit of their resources. Their attorneys
are among the leaders of the bar, ard will
employ their utmost skill in behalf of their
clients. The laws delay is certain to have
new illustration. This, however. is. with
us. In the nature of things. The man at
the top enjoys and uses the advantages Of
his station at all times and in all things.
He resents being held to the common ac-
count Moreover. in the matter now in
hand. the probability is that in whatever
they have done these packers have been
guided by legal advice. Hence 1t is for
their lawyers to rescue them from a sit
uation into which they felt themselves Sc
cure in going, We may expect much expert
legal fencing, with the result in doubt.
The people will believe 1t possible for such
an offender to be sent to jail when they
see him there.
