TAYLOR CHR|STENS
TEAM TIE RED SOX

Boston, Dec. 20.-President John |. Tay-
lor is on his way TO California, lie left
Boston on the midnight train last night
and New York, and will leave there for
Chicago to-day. He will meet Manager
Jim Mcguire in Chicago for a short con-
ference and then start for San Francisco,
hoping to reach the Golden Gate before
Christmas Eve
Before leaving yesterday Mr.. Taylor Sc
lected the uniforms 10 be used next sea-
son, subject TO the approval of Manager
Mcguire. President Taylor has suggest
ed red stockings to be a part of the uni
forms, and though the Boston ''Red
Sox" might sound better TO the 2base-
ball enthusiasts than the names now
used by many. such as "The Pilgrims"
'"rhe Yankees" etc. The original Bos-
ton team wore red stockings, and Mr..
Taylors idea is to practically reproduce
the old colors.
Cincinnati has the REDS" and there
have been several "Red Stocking clubs,
but this is the first time any club has
taken the name Red Sox."

Mr.. Taft was met at ersey City by a
number of newspaper mesa
Referring 10 the depar ture or the Pa

the feeling in the island nation was that
the manoeure was merely a test of the

construed as anything eve W5emotely akin
to an unfriendly act.
e"The Japanese people slre strongly in

relations between the twao nations is a
strong factor for pacificatton. or Japan's

third comes 10 the United States. Most
OF their exports here arr embroidery,
Iaces and artistic goods OF all kinds, and
this trade means a livelihood TO a great
number of small traders on the island.
This. ! fnothing else. would make the
(, body OF the nation oppose any act OF hos
tility."
Secretary Taft said the object OF his
trip was the inspection OF the Philippines.
that he had no mission to or message for
any other nation. The only reason he re-
turned by way of Siberia. he said was
that IL saved one day In time. Mr.. Taft

The secretary was looking remarkably
well and said his daily 5-mile walks on

NOT MEETING ISSUES

Sometime ago the Daily Alaskan asked Gov. HoggatEs orgau' the Raeord- Miner. to mention those solid h,siness men of the district oi Alaska that are opposed to self-gOvern' Dsnt. About the same time 1t asked 1t ID uoiDt out wherein tsrritorialGo govern rosnt would cost the taxpayers more than the present system of government cosr, ,bem. We said then that the Record-N Miner would not attempt to answer on either point. We called mon our readers to mark the predic- tiou.
 Several weeks has passed, but there has been no attempt to comply with s;,ber request. It has gulped the dare. Like Gov. Hoggatt and the other tories it contents itself with high sounding phrases.
 The fact of the matter is the tories are not trying to meet the issue of self government with the Alaskan people Their paper publishes just enough 10 Dsrmit the Rubber Stamp'aud other corporation lobbyists to make show ing with officials of the Flaw Cannery" at Washington. They say, by their attitude, "the peoplel be damned" ," They care not what Alaskans want so long as their''pull'at Washington holds
