Lores of advancement, popular feeling, the outcries of opponents, and the applause of adherents, all these have assailed him in vain, have fallen like broken arrows from the shield of his spotless integrity.
A Japanese writer says of him, Mr.
Yukio Ozaki has had a wonderful political career.
He is a born orator, the most powerful debater and the ablest writer in Japan, a staunch fighter for the cause of liberty and the interests of the people.
One of the political magnates and a potent factor in the introduction of the Meiji civilization.
A man who is above every form of political corruption.
Once the Minister for Education and now the highly renowned mayor of Tokyo who has never missed a single election for the twenty five sessions of the Diet of Japan.
Mr Ozaki is a strenuous and untiring worker.
In his character of mayor, no detail is too small for him to go into patiently.
Drainage, street cleaning, water supply, market regulations, everything that can conduce to the health and morals of the city passes under his watchful eyes, and Tokyo is governed marvelously well.
His scrupulous conscientiousness leads him to take upon himself a thousand minutiae, which another man would hand over to his subordinates.
I shall never forget the searching orders that were promulgated to prepare the capital for the return of the troops from Manchuria.
Hundreds of thousands of men, war worn and ragged, with all their invalids, were to be arriving for months together, and no one could tell what germs of disease might come with them.
So before the first detachment reached Shimbashi, a house to house visitation was made.
The most thorough cleaning and clearing away of rubbish was insisted upon.
And the entire foundations of the dwellings, as well as the outhouses and gateways, were copiously sprinkled with chloride of lime.
Tokyo sneezed, Tokyo wept, but Tokyo had no epidemics.
Besides all his responsibilities as mayor, he
in the post which he has filled for seven years, Mr.
Ozaki has great political duties to occupy his time.
