Tucson is proposing to change the names of its streets and the Citizen is opposing it on the ground the utitarian effect would not compensate for the historic loss by the abolition of the old by which thoroughfares have been known for nearly three-quarters of century.

The perspective of time is not needed to deter mine the lofty position that will be held in history by Cardinal Gibbons. Nor will recognition Of his greatness be confined to his church.
 All Christianity must claim Cardinal Gibbons, sor he stood for all that best and noble-the teachings of Christ
 All Americans must regret his passing, for he was one of the leaders in public as well as religious life Endowed with high intellect straight seeing vision and charitable soul he exerted a powerful influence the period in which he lived.

By Frederic j. Haskin

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 31- Since and during the recent presiden- tial campaign, that latest development of modern journalism, the telling of news by photography, reached prob ably its highest point to date. The average reader hardly realizes or ap- preciates the fact that his newspaper is enabling him to see tke world and its great characters without Judging from his chair. The personalities of the news, especially. are brought be- fore him just as they live and work.
 Ten years ago the public man or woman was comparatively safe from the cameramen. A posed studio pie ture showing the subject at his or her best was all the public expected or asked. The hero or villain of the mo- ment was shown in the newspapers attired in his Sunday best. wearing the expression that usually accom- panies such garments. A woman ap- peared in public print adorned as for a ball or some other formal socia function. If she possessed Jewels she was shown wearing them. and her ex- pression generally was the complacent smirk that adorns the face of. even the most modest of mortals when told to look pleasant, please"
 There was no question of letting the picture tell the story. From all the public could learn from the pic lures shown them, their idols spent their entire time smiling stiffIy into space or gazing dreamily into the heart of rose. A visiting princess and the latest murderess received the same treatment
 Today the formal, posed studio pie ture, though still used extensively. fails to satisfy the newspaper reading public. The readers demand to see their favorites as they work and play They want to see them with their hair mussed, if they are the kind whose hair is apt to be mussed. They want them human.
 If the particular hero is a baseball genius the public wants to see him in action or at home playing with his dogs and children. If he is a political hero they want to see him busy at the desk where he habitually transacts business or out on the golf links for a bit of exercise
 The Whole Official Family
 Nor does the public curiosity stor at the hero himself. It is interest ec in his wife, his children, his house, his servants, his dogs, his horses and ev- erything that concerns him. No mem Der of his household is safe from the prying eyes of the little black boz that spells satisfaction for the public demands
 It would be a hopeless task to at. tempt to enumerate the thousands o snapshots of the presidential candi. dates which were made in the las election Candidates Cox and Hard ' ing were shown all over the country at play and at work. Their wives anC families were known by sight to prac tlcally every man, woman or child fl the country. A picture of Mrs. Hard fnp pinning a rose in her distin guished husbands lapel was repro duced in almost every newspaper il

APRIL FOOL By Berton BruLey

When the Spring comes in with it's leaf and bud A sort of enchantment stirs my blood And my heart beats faster, my step is lighter My eyes grow bright as the sun gets brighter, 1 want to dance and want to sing With the glorious foolishness of Spring, I'm glad as youngster free from school A regular April Fool! Oh, an April Fool has gorgeous time, He greets the world with grin sublime For the Spring has come and the Winters gone And the baseball season is coming on, And golf and tennis and fishing, too; And winds gentle and skies are blue And these magical charms which rule The heart of an April Fool!
 If you're not of the folks who thrill When Spring comes dancing oer vale and hill, If April breezes don't fill your brain With quirks and whimsies you can't explain; If you're calm, collected and placid, too, Not one bit foolish-the fool you For it proves you're old and your blood is cool When you can't break loose from your humdrum ru And though folly you ridicule
 It's you, it's you are the April Fool The silly old April Fool!

If it neglects the drudgery, and sings? There's too much joy in the world There's too much laughter, Too much of love and lovers and romancing Too much of young Adventure which goes dancing Adown the road and bids follow after! The skies far bright, the days sunny And youth too careless of the passing hours, Forgetful of the way that time is wnging; Think of the moments wasted picking flowers And stealing kisses and in foolish singing Such precious time men need for making money. Life is too vivid and its hue too gay, Its far too keen. If will keep his heart full play How shall we change him to true machine? There's too much joy in the worldi

Editor Arizona Republican, Phoenix,
 Ariz.
 Dear Sir: In this mornings edi- tion of your valued publication there was quite an extensive comment on the investigation conducted before his excellency. Thomas F.. Campbell, governor of the state of Arizona. in the matter of the assault perpetrated by one Pedro c. de la Lama upon the consulate under my charge. In said article there was a statement to the effect that 1 had stated. upon leaving the state house that Lama is at present advocating the appointment of Adolfo Pecina as Mexican consul at Phoenix. To his knowledge, he says, Pecina's application has been filled in the waste paper basket of the secretary of the office of foreign relations" This statement S trib- uted to me is entirely erroneous. In the first place, I do not speak Eng fish to the extent to have used such language In the second place, l do not know that Mir. Pecina has made any such applicatio and in the third place I do not know what is being done in the office of the sec retary of foreign relations in Mexico City, so it was an impossibility for me to have stated the above remarks. Most of what your article contained LOOK place III lNe OlIlCe OI Ine SON- ernor. and that has been taken down in shorthand The only thing that 1 did ask or relate was that. due to the i'll feeling that exists between MT Lama and myself over having re- ported this matter to Mexico City, fear bodily harm to myself, and as I have a wife and baby l was think ing about them and not myself when I made the remark that I would like to ask for some protection. This was done through an interpreter, but I never did state anything of what you have stated against Mir. Pecina- against whom I hold no ill feeling but on the contrary. esteem him very highly.
 I would therefore ask you to very kindly publish this letter so that nc injustice may be done to anyone, and particularly to MT Pecina- Assuring you of my sincere appreciation for giving this matter space in your pub lication of tomorrow morning,
 Very Sincerely Yours. JOSE ILAGUNO. Conciller Encasgardo. As Seen Through Neutral Eyes 1 To the Editor of The Republican. Seldom do l ever go to any dance

The SIackers' List

Lists of sackers are to be sent broadcast throughout the country. They will be sent to American Legion Posts and to newspapers for such purposes the latter wish to make of them. In this the department is abandoning the policy of protection slackers deserters conscientious ebJectors kept in force by the department under Secretary Baker by whom such sackers came into ihe hands of the authorities treated with hniency amounting almost difference and high regard.
 MT. Bakers objection to the issuance of such lists was that they would almost inevitably include the pames of persons who not really sackers that Through misunderstanding other errors found ,heir way into the lists local draft boards.
 No doubt such mistakes have been made but those who have been included in the list could easily themselves right in the communities where they belong that at the worst they would suffer sothing than annoyance.
 But the real slackers could do and they would be pilloried all time by their neighbors hey ought be.

 In the beginning the selective draft recog- tized sweeping agency for the location of crm- hals. It contemplated sort of record of svery man in the United States within the draft age and expected to bring to the surface many who had gone into hiding. It had such effect in thousands of cases and doubt the effect will be continued by making the slackers list accessible.
