Police Duty.

The magnificent four story building of the National Bank of Arizona is nearing completion. Across the street from this building, the four-stOry Goodrich block will be begun shortly. One block east, a fine business build ing is to be constructed by MT. Charles Korrick for his New York store. Midway of the block, between the Goodrich building and the new Korrick building, will be the splendid new store of the Goldberg Brothers.
 These Improvements on Washington street will transform the appearance of that street between Center and First streets, and in view of these improvements it occurs to The Re publican that it is about time for the police department to transform the appearance of the sidewalk on the north side of Washington between Center and First streets.
 We refer, of course. to the con gested condition of this sidewalk for many hours each day, caused by loafers At certain hours it is inn possible for one to negotiate his way along this block except by pushing Ioafers out of his road. Ladies and children generally find the way i'm passable.
 The sidewalks are for people to walk on, not to stand on. A police man should be stationed on this block, and should be required to give "a move on" order to all loafers. Per sons refusing to obey his orders should be arrested and fined for dis orderly conduct This is the way similar conditions are handled by the police in other cities, and the time has come for some police supervision of our streets. Any intelligent police man can handle the situation without difficulty It is easy to discriminate between people meeting and stopping for a moment on the sidewalk, and people who use the sidewalk as a loafing place. It is easy at all times for an intelligent policeman to handle such situations without tyrannical in- reference with the liberty of the citizen.
 There is absolutely no reason why this block should be given over to Mexican loafers or to loafers of any other nationality-nor is there any reason why, when this block is cleared. they should be permitted to infest any other section of the busi- ness district.
 If the police department is without sufficient initiative and comprehen- sion of what is needed. the necessary orders should be issued by Mayor Christy.

 Our own idea of the reasons for the immense popularity of Roosevelt may not be. correct, but We think it may be We think it remotely due to the necessity the masses seem to find for possessing a national herO-we must have a colossal idol Roosevelt is the nothing for any, of his fads or faults of temperament But most of all, Roosevelt has a grip on the national heart because he is the incarnation of the American spirit, in the broader aspects of his character. When he talks on moral or political questions he voices the sentiments and the as- pirations of the American people. He is able to do this because he himself is the average" American. What he feels and believes, the people feel and believe He seems to have an intui tive faculty of instantly gauging the public pulse. He does not have to ask advisers to tell him what the people want; he knows, from his own feelings. This intuition appears to approach the domains of the uncanny, for knowledge of popular impulses reaches him as readily as the electric current runs along a copper wire. His very faults draw the people to him, because his are the weaknesses of the common mortal. And so long as they believe that he is honest and tries his best to practice what he breaches, they will be more than ready to over look his petty faults.

at fullback improved steadily as the
season advanced and he learned to use
his mower in line plunging. his TACK
ling was not always good, but httie
practice in elementary work should
make him o. X. in this respect and a
tower of strength ON the defense.
Weeden showed his ability at end run,
ming and delivering forward passes, ana
in addition was always on the alert TO
follow the ball. He was the mainstay
of the secondary defense, and possesses
the qualities needed in successIul
leader. Ellis developed into surpris-
ingly fast end whose tackling could pc

worked successfully as the receiver OF
forward passes. He was also strong ~
interference. Messer, though not 81
sure in ackling, was the most proficient
catcher of forward passes on the team:
With a bit more speed and the art OF
mailing his man perfected, he will leave
little to be desired as an end.
TAYLOR Is work at guard improved
steadily throughout the season and ne
was one of the few men who showed at
his best in the final game. he Is very
powerful, a pretty good tackler and
hard runner, and can do considerable In
the way of punting and drop kicking.
Miner played the other tackle position
consistently, tackling well when the
opportunity offered and proving him
self of great value in breaking interfef-
ence. On the one occasion when he was
PLAYED at end his work was all that
could be desired. Wentworth surprised
everybody by his work at guard.
Though not heavy enough to do great
deal on the offence, he was very nearly
as good as Adams in defensive playing,
repeatedly spelling opponents plays
before they were fairly started: In
the trying and one might almost say
thankless position Of center Marion
proved himself steady and rehable.
His passing on the whole was excellent
and he followed the ball closely, max
inc frequent recoveries Of fumbles.
Knowlton and Bolster as substitute
guards were seldom called upon, but
when they were used they did well.
Both were better ON attack than on de,
Tense. Crosby, substitute end, played
in but two regular games, although on
these occasions he demonstrated that
what he lacked in weight he made up IN
grit and tackling ability. He should
nroye valuable next season either as
an end or quarterback.

yelop strong second team that was OF
great help in perfecting defensive play
In review of the work of the varl-
Gus players that of Captain Thompson
should receive first consideration. None
of his mates was in his class as far as
speed was concerned, and it is doubtful
whether any player on the teams ne
went against was as feet-footed with
the exception of Nichols of Vermont
academy. Thompson is also an extreme,
" clever dodger, keeps his feet wen
and runs hard. Throughout the season
he handled the ball clearly and was
excellent in making forward passes.
His chief fault was tendency to run
back, and this was probably due to the
fact that he so frequently Outran ms
interference that he was left without
protection. Unquestionably the best
defensive player on the team was Ad.
ans. whose work at tackle was at
times really wonderful. A deadly, tack
Ter. Adams also possesses that valuable
asset known as football intuition,
which enables him to size up plays
with unerring Judgment. He should
make a splendid back next year, -,
AS quarterback Eckels did splendid

team cleverly, tackled well in the open
field. and was unusually sure in catch,
