A good many of Commissioner
WooDs's policemen look pretty shabby
and fail to carry themselves with the
air to which New York has become ac-
customed. IL Is now not an infrequent
incident to see patrolman with sOiled
trnic, baggy trousers, and shoes greatly
in need OF dauber and polishing brush
Some patrolmen-a number sufficient to
attract attention-slouch on their posts
and generally compOrt themselves more
after the fashion of rural constable
than Il metropolitan policeman.
Commissioner WOODS Is busy man
and has done his work with mini
mum OF self-advertisement. The lack
of complaint about his department
must be gratifying to him and to Mayor
Mitchell But they must not get the
notion that the police escape notice.
Nor should they deceive themselves
with the thought that the personal ap-
pcarance of the men on duty In the
streets Is Of no public interest. New
York wants the right to be proud OF
the hearing and the sartorial fitness of
its men in blue.
