INVITATION TO PRESIDENT WILL
 SON,

The decision oi the Juneau cit! council to invite President Wilson to extend his first western trip as President of the United states to tLls territory was an appropriate thing to do. More than once since his inauguration President Wilson Las said that he would like to be able to visit Alaska before the eN' ps.at;on of his official term, anu there will probably be no more op- portuue time for him to gratify that desire than during his coming visit, which will begin when he de- parts from Hampton Roads on ,n American warship March s.
 1, would be a most fitting thing Ior President Wilson 10 visit this territory. He has done more for Alaska than any man who has been ]. public office since the American iiag was raised over the terrIJUI! iu IS67. He may be apprOpriatS.! styled the saviour of Alaska. He c.ms into office finding the people of many parts Of the territory dis outraged almost to the point 21 despoudency. Business was sial- nant, and those who had been walt Ing for better times had all but abandoned hope of the future. l. was the interest that President Will son took in the territory fh@t changed this condition 10 one ot optimism and activity.
 The people Of Alaska would give President Wilson 2 royal welcome if he should find it possible to spare tao two or three weeks that would he necessary for him to visit the Alaskan coast, stopping at the prin- clpal Southeastern Alaska and West ward points.
 And, even should the president r.rd it impossible to visit Alaska, an invitation to do so would no doubt De appreciated. He, at least, bus earned that much consideration from the people Of the territory.
 Every city council and every com uLrcial body along the Alaskan coast should join in the invitation Juneau Empire.
 The Daily Alaskan believes the move made by the Juneau Ity council in adopting a resolution 10 lender the chief executive of the nation an invitation to visit the remote region for which, during the short time he has been in of flee. he has done so much, should be followed by every community ol any size along the entire southern coast of Alaska. AS the Dally Empire says, even should President Wilson be unable to accept the ln- v;tatlon. he Is at least entitled |" all the consideration and courtesy that can possibly be shown him by the people of this territory.
 We feel assured the town council of Skagway will look ar the matter in the same light as did the members Of the city council of Juneau and join with that organization In the invita- tion 1t coutemplates extending 10 President Wilson.

The Sox, still comparatively white,
despite the sullying they received
from the Boston crew Of Bill CARR
gan, are on the RATHER for the east,
facing an invasion of alien territory
on which hinges the American league
pennant.
In their home stay the White Sox
lost ground, skipping from first place
to second, but this was not solely be-
cause of their own bad baseball. The
Boston people played a fine brand Of
ball, and it was mainly on their own
efforts that they went to the front.
But for that one series, in which the
Carrigans swamped the ROwlandites,
there would be nothing in the White
SOx home stay which needs apology.
Rowland, however, has shaken hiB
aggregation from the slump that a.
