GOOD FEATURES COMING

We regret that we have no contin-
ued story to offer our readers this
week. The continued story feature is
one of the best that any paper can
have, and it is thru no fault Of our
own that we have run out. The truth
is, that we have not yet been able to
find a story which is good enough to
run after Whispering Smith. That
story was so fine, that no ordinary
one will seem worth while. We are
looking around, and will promise that
soon we will have a new one, and a
good one, too. Wait for it. Meanwhile
we will have series OF short stories
and similar articles, which will make
as good, reading, even IL they do not
carry as sustained interest as the
continued story.
Are you trying the problems? II
not, why not? There are a good many
first class mathematicians among
our readers who do not seem to get
after our little jaw breakers. Some
problems have not received a single
correct answer. So We are going TO
offer a prize for the person sending
in the largest number of correct ans
wers this year. The contest will
open with the first issue in February.

The prize will be worth while, too

The possibilities Of an acre OF
ground planted in vegetables and cul-
tivated intelligently, but not scienu-
fically. have been demonstrated to
Kansas City. The result shows a net
profit of S1.1O6.S5 This has convinced
many people that a small plot OF
ground lndustriously and carefully
cultivated will afford an excellent
living for an average family.
The experiment was conducted for
the Kansas City Star by Brus Bros,
expert gardeners. They did not re-
sort to artificial means of pushing the
vegetables, but they did take good
care of the crops, packed the products
neatly and attractively so that they
would bring the best market prices.
The experiment was conducted prin-
cipally to demonstrate to city dwell
ers what they could do with a garden
of their own by little work and ex-
perience. The gross returns from the
acle were $l,611.35 and the total ex-
pense of cultivating and marketing
the crops was S5O4.50.

Reports were made monthly by the
gardeners. On October II, 1908, four
weeks after the seed was planted, the
garden yielded GAS dozen radishes and
30 bushels of spinach that sold for

Instead of puritanical groans and evil forebodings as to the future of our great common wealth they should get onto the band wagon and ride. If they pos sess the least spark of Arizona patriotism they will not long lag back or tighen the brake on an up- hill pull, but they will keep up with the head of the procession and work with their Democratic neighbors for the common good. This is the plain unvarnished duty of every true Arizonan, and if it is not done the recalcitrants are not Arizonans, but mercenary interlopers who have sought citizenship in Arizona for the purpose of getting the twelve pieces of silver A rule or ruiz

TAFT AND
 ROOSEVELT

Some commentators upon the Colo ners recent speeches doubt the good faith toward the Administration Of the Colonel himself, says the New York Times. It is suggested that the recent President damns with faint praise the legislative record of the present president and prom ise3 many things about which Mr. Taft is silent. But why should this inspire any doubt about the loya;tr toward MT. Taft of the friends who said, If they don't take Taft they will get me-? Is it not altogether likely that he Is so conducting himself because his feeling is unaitered and he now means. If you do not keep Taft ycu will get ,3e'?
 The country has had a recent opporrupity to judge whether < wants the Taft brand of safe and sane and reasonable conservation or the other sort Mir. Roosevelt evil dently intends 70 afford as many ether opportunities for similar com parisons between efficiency in the execution of existing laws, and ne glect of existing laws, in order to enact the Ten Commandments as preliminary to the millennium. Those who think that new laws will reduce the cost of living and raise wages, will vote for the millennium. Those who think that the enact ment of too many laws, and neglect to enforce existing laws, are respons- ible for the mess which was left for President Taft to clean up will naturally prefer a continuance of the housekeeping to the building of a new nationalism

STARTLING TRUTH.

have to pass the ball back. iIowef. the change is immaterial. for tes seldom used the privilege of kick. it forward on account of the unc<-- tainty of regaining possession of the ball. The rule is well balanced fo' any player except the guards eau take the ball directly from center. This will also be true of the halfbeck. The line men will be the big factor this year, for they will field and will have to get down the field on kicks. More SD than ever before. Also they will have GO be shifty on their ftet. to stop the varied attack which will come.
 The guar terback will be the key to the whole team, in that h. must ..a~- form as in the past and besides be ! a powerful line plunger and open field ruhrer
 The following rule will tend 70 re- volutionize the game:
 No player of the side in possess ion of the Dall shall use his hauds. arms or body to push, pull or bold upon his feet she player carrying the ball, nor shall there be any inter. locked interference. ss
 The above does away with tho crushing attack which has injured more players than all the other plays put together
 This rule will do away with tbs famous old Princeton whirlins brsrb and also with the heavy back field men, used more in the past to wear out the opposing players than to score.
 We should have either end runs Q. open scrimnhge lines this year. as II is impossible to send a back through the line unaided This wouli do away with that great element, team work, which made football in the past more of machine than ip- dividual playing. and which will De a snlller factor in deciding games
 The size of the scores this year js all guesswork, but I for one expect to see large scores, due to great latitude given the forward pass more than to any other change, for it will be nearl~ impossible to create a defense to stop 6 forward pass down inside the sE- yard line, due to the following rule:
 No pliyer of either side while ln the act of catching forward pass shall be tackled. thrown, pushed. shouldered or straight-armed. until he shall have caught the ball and taken more than one step in either direction"

PRESENT RULES EXPLAINED BY
 FORMER STAR
ReinschiIds Formerly with Michigan, Predicts Open Game Will Be Played on Gridiron This Season.
(By Walter NJ. ReinschildsS. .rormer Michigan Star.l


 All the big colleges in the East have started football practice from week to two weeks in advance of the usual time due to the great change in the American game and to the lack of spring practice through ''Irdiness in deciding upon the new rules.
 This IS the second great change in the last four years, which shows the true American spirit of keeping it's own game and trying to stop the great hue and cry concerning the brutality of it.
 The Rules Committee had a hard fight on it's hands when it started the 10 the great difference in opinion of its members.
 To my mind the change has been fir the better both as to the making the game safer and more spectacular. but the latter will, of course. depend upon the coaches taking advantage of the rules as the committee desires them to do. Coaches do no seem to be able to get away from the idea of having seven men on the scrimmage hne, all punched together as close as possible. They seem to forget the line of scrimmage runs the whole width of the field and that space can be used, if desired.
 Now taking the rule book, the first difference from last year is in mark ing of the field. Last year it resem- bled checker board. due to having five yard lines running both paraIle, to side lines and to goal lines, those parallel to side lines are not needed this year. as the forward pass can be made any place over the line of ect pass from center need not run out five yards from where the center at which it was put in play.
 The first material change is in the substitution of players. for. fin former years, a player once taken out could not return. This year he can return once. This rule should make great ] possibility for players who are cnly good for place or drop kicking Re member in the Yale-Harvard game two years ago when Harvard put in i substitute who made a place kick [ and won from Yale by the score Of to O? He could at that time only go in once, but this year he could go in again, in any subsequent period. One of the great changes is :he length of the game and it's division. Last year we had two 35-m.3ute baJv es; this year we have four periods | of 15 minutes each which shortens the playing time 10 minutes. Then there is "a rest of three minutes be- tween the first and second and be- tween the second and third.
 This change should do away with the argument that the game is too strenuous for small colleges. high schools and grammar schools. We should have fast, snappy game from the beginning to end, and the plas- CTS will have no excuse for not wors. ing like Trojans during each period. This should also do away with that long drawn out closing of the second half, when the men were worn out. Endurance will not be at sucn a premium as it has been. and injuries should therefore be fewer.

ARIZONA HAS DONE WELL.
(Los Angeles Herald.)


 The result oi the elections held in Arizona on Monday shows that our sister territory is true to herself and that she has entrusted the making of the constitution. whicl. will be her organic law as state, to the demo cratic party. This result will secure to Arizona those expressions of the most advanced and intelligent states manship Of the day known as the in itiative, the referendum and the re call It will also secure the sort of primary electioa law without which the popular VIII of community is never sure of full pc2-Iical expres- sion.
 The people of Arizona should not be sweryed from their determination .o make their constitution the ey i )ression of the most intelligen
 uatesmarship by the threats of tn,
 ,eaetionary press. including our morn ing republican contemporary, thai the constitution will, T it does not reflect the stupid and non-proeressive reactionary spI;jt, be rejected by con gress and the president. The lower house of congress will probably have a democratic majority. to whose hands an enlightened and advanced constitution For the state of Arizona scan be safely intrusted. It will cer tainly have, by combination of demo crats and the republican insurgents who represent the intelligent and en- frightened branch of that party. a majority that will not reject any con. stitution that Arizona may present on the ground that it is 8 departure from the stupid and i.on-progressive ideas which distinguish the standpai element cf the republican party as it is at present constituted.
 1 In the senate the vote of tbe pro gressives will undoubtedly be largely increased as tae result of this years elections. and unless the hold-oyer senators are cursed beyond irnagina- ton with the stupidity ard denseness of perception which will prevent them learning any lessor from the re- lpudiation of standpat republication which is going on all over the coun- try, they cannot be depended upon to reject Arizona's constitution be, cause it happens to sInbody those principles which the most intelligent and advanced statesmanship of the present day have approved. And un. Hess the gentleman who is now shed ding the light of his smile over the golf links at Beverly is dense beyond conception he also will. by the time the Arizona constitution is presented to him, have seen suca a light as will prevent his attempting to inter.
 Here with the exprsseG desire of the
 people to adopt a constit3tion worthy of the advancement and intelligence of the present day.
 So we say that we hope the people
 of Arizona will proceed to adopt a constitution which represents real ad' vancement in government and real reform in place of the stupid and re. actionary document witch some of ! the enemies of progress and reform would have 1t adopt.
