ANTI-SALOuN LEAGUE MEETS
Delegates Are welcomed TO Indian
apOIis by Governor J. Frank
Hanly.


INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. I.-In opening the
tenth annual convention of the American
Anti-Saloon league at the Roberto Parker
church tonight Governor Hany declared
that in campaign where moral questions
were involved and good clean government
is at stake, the Christian church should
play as strong part possible. or
dinarily the Christian church ought to
keep out of politics" He added:
1t perhaps has nothing to do with maxi
ing tarin schedules and determining ratios
but in settling moral questions and filling
offices with clean, moral men the church
finds its proper sphere in politics. No
seeker for public office willing TO do what
is right and anxious to serve the people
need fear the influence Of the church in
ponucal campaigns,
ayers Of the league have enlisted the sup
port OF democrats and republicans alike
who admire the principles represented by
the league. Practical knowledge of politics
combined with an unsWerVing devotion to
patriotic and charitable ideals has enabled
you managers to promote the work of re-
form in all parts of the country.
Governor Hanly was greeted with the
ohautauqua salute as he arose to welcome
the convention delegates to indianapolis.
Response to Governor Hanlys welcome
was made by the Rev DR.. Howard Russell,
superintendent of the New York league,
who analyzed the recent election returns
to show that a renaissance of civic right
eousness is just beginning in America.
The sessions Of the convention will be
continued tomorrow afternoon and night.

CHINESE BOYCOTT FEARED
Former President of California Uni
versity Tells where United
States May Lose.

BERKELEY. Cal, Nov a.-Horace
Davis. a former president OF the state
university and prominently connected with
the Pacific coast trade with the Orient,
declared today in lecture on that subject
before the College of Commerce, branch
OF the university, the boycott on American
goods in China to be menace to American
interests in the Orient creating a situa-
tion so serious that the Chinese govern
ment finds itself powerless to control IT,
This untoward condition he attributed to
the harsh administration OF the American
exclusion law.
Speaking Of the possibilities of the trade
with China alone, he said:
THE Chinese now have-a foreign COM
merce amounting to about % head per
year. Japan has in forty years developed
a commerce. running up from nothing to
about $3.50 per person a year. or about
SEQ 10000 per year altogether. II China
can be made TO develop such a trade as
this. In the same time. II would amount
to about s2,5O0OOOOOO Now China's for
eign commerce is $3.50, 10000 What this
great growth would mean to all the coun-
tries taking part in supplying China's needs
can easily be understood. If China could
ever be made to develop a foreign COM
merce equaling per capita the commerce
Of this country it would amount to the
stupendous total OF $1,000 10000 a year, an
amount almost inconceivabc."

DON'T CHANGE THE NAMES.

The Record is opposed to changing
the names of the streets of Roswell
from the names Of Spanish origin to
English names. There is an attractive
ness O these names which catches
all visitors to our city. They have a
meaning peculiar in themselves to
this southwestern country of ours.
and should be retained for that rea-
son alone

ing OF this proposition. says:
"It was before h city council of
Roswell the other evening to make
quite a change among the names of
hts streets. all those Of Spanish orr
gin to be substituted by English
names. The changes recommended
are: Las Vegas. to Hendricks: Albu-
querque, TO Bayard; MesilIa, to Bland;
III Paso, 10 Mathews. The reasons ad-
RANGED were patriotism. dificulty of
with the Spanish names,
and other like trivial points. Forum
