tive branch of the city government SO
strongly that unless 1t is largely deserted 1t
can override the mayors vetoes and force
its will upon the community. And there Is
always the danger that even an appeal to
the polls would not result the majority
of voters desire, for the Philadelphia ring is
VIGOROUSLY a manipulation of ballot boxes
II holds the voting machinery and 1t would
require an avalanche of public resentment
to overwhelm the corrupt crew.
Philadelphia is willing today to waive all
question of the reason for the mayors
breach with the machine. 1t accepts the
fact gratefully as a stroke of fortune, with
out analysing the motives or circumstances.
1t Is willing to grant that Mayor Weaver,
after receiving his Office from VIGOROUSLY
corrupt organization and obeying its behests
unfnchlngly for period has finally turned
against his bosses in a virtuous indignation
that rises above all considerations of po-
litical safety. His choice of weapons In the
fight Is easily understood The removal of
the directors of public safety and public
works is intended to weaken the enemy to
frighten the men in the ranks, while it does
not directly affect the immediate situation
of the gas lease. With his own men at the
head of these two important departments
he controls upward of 10000 places. He can
thus strike the machine in it's most vulner
able point, public patronage 1t is yet to be
seen how far his maneuver will avail to
brighten men out of the machine ranks in
the councils into the mayors lines. whether
he can sufficiently weaken the gas gang in
the local legislature by this means to pre-
vent the passage of the lease over his veto.
Regardless of the past, Mayor Viewers
present attitude is that of a courageous
man, and he deserves the unfiagging sup
port of every Philadelphia who hopes to
see his city rescued from the clutches of
one of the most shameless crews of political
highwaymen ever known.

The Racing Yachts,

Reports from the racing yachts continue
to drift in from mid-sea from time to time
but they throw little real light upon the
situation. The eleven racers scattered
pretty widely soon after crossing the line
some of them taking the northern great
circle route, which carries them into the
steamship line, and others following the
more southerly course, out of the track
of both the big ferry boats and the Ice
bergs. The great-circle route is the short
est, a fact which landsmen cannot easily
comprehend when they see one of these
routes laid down on map. They do not
realize that a drawing representing the
earth's surface Is only approximately ac-
curate, owing to the impossibility of indi-
eating IN a fiat map the curvature of the
surface. The great circle is represented on
a globe by tightly stretching a string be-
tween the ports of departure and arrival.
This stands. of course, for the least possi-
BILE distance. 1t will be found, with such
an experiment, that the string cuts the
meridians of longitude at varying angles.

Mayor Weaver's AK.
rom the Philadelphia Ledger.

I7VU5CE'
Mayor Weaver has risen to the SITUATION
and has given proof of heroic manhood that
brings CONSERVATION to the grafters and IN
spires honest citizens with hope and en-
thusiasm. The action he has taken. IN re-
moving Snyth and Costello from the offices
they have employed in the service of the
organization, and in appointing Col. Shell
don Potter to the public safety department
and A. Lincoln Acker for the pubic
works-both trusted citizens-is just what
the emergency demanded. The dismissed
officials were representatives and official
heads of the predatory gang whose opera
tions were made possible only by their
power and patronage. The mayor has not
contented himself with striking at the
branches: he has struck at the trunk of the
tree. Its roots may remain, embedded in
graft but it can no longer afford shelter
and nourishment to the enemies of decent
government

Crowding the Sums.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
With immigrants pouring in at the rate
of 100 O00 per month, a sanguine contem-
porary rejoices because these newcomers
will furnish agricultural laborers for the
great fields of the southwest. The truth
is, however, that present-day immigrants
have no fancy for the fields. They flock
to the cities and the resulting congestion
bids fair to make serious trouble. The
federal department of agriculture could
engage in no more useful work than an
endeavor to encourage immigrants to go to
the country instead of congregating in the
city Sums

MAYOR WeaYer's New Role

For city that Is reputed to be slow. q
short time has brought some abrupt and
startling changes in Philadelphia Only a
few weeks ago the cIerEymen of that city
were publicly praying for Mayor John
Weaver. to the end that he might be guided
by the higher powers into better ways. seek
ing his rescue from the evil elements then
alleged to be controlling him This out
break OF religious sentiment against him
was caused by his attitude toward the
vicious clements and the evil institutions of
the CITY, against which the churches and de-
cent citizens had been conducting a crusade
Despite the prayers and petitions Mayor
Weaver refused to act vigorously in the
matter. and the reform OF that day went
the way of SO many others into the records
as a frultless effort.
Yesterday after having received the day
before large delegation of ministers of all
faiths in the interest of the veto of the
Ubiquitous gas lease. Mayor Weaver as
sumed the role of Philadelphia's Hercules
and attacked the ring hydra with fearless
vigor. He Topped off two of the biggest Off
cial heads. the directors OF public safety and
public works. the right and left bowers of
the machine pack. He announced that he
would fight to a finish the whole of the gas
gang, which had driven through the lease
OF the clty's gas works for seventy-fye
years for a comparative trifie to the present
holders. The machine leaders accepted the
challenge, and the fight is now on The
mayor stands beside the clergymen and the
other reformers who were so recently ar
rayed against him.
In a contest like this the chances are not
determined wholly by the volume OF public
sentiment. Probably today numerically the
city of Philadelphia stands in large proper
ton with the mayor In his new position.
But the machine Is in power In the legisla-

Thus ship sailing over that route is never
two days following the same direction. so
far as the relations to north. east. south
and west are concerned Its route is
steadily shifting compass direction, mas
much as that direction bears relation to the
perpendiculars of the meridians and par
alleis.
Thus although the line shown on the map
representing the course of the great-circle
yachts is physically longer than that which
indicates the route taken by the more
southerly of the racers. the former are
actually at an advantage in the point OF
distance, which is somewhat offset by the
possibility of encountering fogs and bergs.
In the higher ATTITUDES these factors occur
much more frequently at this season than
in the lower stretches of the ocean. The
most frequently reported of the yachts is
the Atlantic, the American favorite in the
race. She seems to be travelling fast. on
the great-circle route, and to be close to the
record of transatlantic yacht sailing. now
held by the Endynion. But it is believed
that the German schooner Hamburg is
slightly leading her, as some Of the earlier
reports showed that the German competitor
was somewhat ahead of the Atlantic both
pursuing the same course. They seem to
have parted company during the last day
or two, only the Atlantic has been lately
reported. The Hamburg may have changed
her course to get out of the way of fogs
or bergs or possibly to elude the observa-
tons of the steamers. Practically nothing
Is known of the yachts on the southerly
course With fair winds and no bad con-
ditions the leading yacht, 1t is expected,
will report at the Lizard in a little more
than a week or possibly ten days. With
bad weather, light winds or i'll luck the
winner may not be sighted for two weeks
