NO MORE ADDITIONS TO
BASKETBALL CIRCUIT

The American Basketball League
held a brief business meeting in Phila-
delphia yesterday afternoon. Owing
to the lack of a quorum the meeting
held three weeks ago was annulled,
and the minutes were stricken from
the books. AS the readmissiOn of the
Penn Wheelmen's team to the league
was a part of the business of this
meeting. the two games which the
Penn team played subsequently were
removed from the standing.
An application for a franchise was
received from the Third Regiment, but
although the league magnates appre-
Ciated the strength of the soldiers
team. and their power as drawing
card. 1t was deemed inadvisable to
make any addition to the circuit, part
ly because of the approach of the sea-
sons close. but more on account of the
proviso which the Third Regiment
Athletic Association places on home
games.
e. B. stones resignation as manager
of the Burlington team was accepted
and the name of e. d. Spence was sub
stfuted, with Harry Connolly as assO.
ciate manager. The st. James-Consho.

HE COUNCILS "PlAiN DUTiES."

There are several plain duties " which 1t seems 10 us are before the city council One of the most important of these IS to afford the fullest possible protection to the permanent business and trader against the ncursions of the peripaetic individuals who will inevitably arrive this spring with old hulks filed with miscellaneous goods, pitch their tents along the shore on vacant lets and proceed to do business for two three months. Atthe expiration of that time they will fold up their tents like the Arab and steal away, inst as silently, with ninety nine per cent of tic money they have gathered to- gether. They contribute nothing to the town its support, while the men permanently established must bear all the burdens the year round. To be thus handicapped by any number of itnerant traders and merchants, who reap but do not sow IS the grosses kind of injustice to the legitimate business man, who stays in the country, spends his money here and who is bona tde citizen.
 The profits of the average in business in Nome are pared exceedingly fine, and he is ill., prepared to meet additional competition on the open ing of navigation from more of itinerants, who az we have stated conduct their business at a .rihing expense, untaxed in the of ways, which the genuine business must face, only to leave for .he outside in the fall with laugh of derision for the "pooi devils" and "suckers' they have left be- hind.
 Nowhere in the United States does the business man need protection than right here in Nome protection of the kind we have named. Therefore. the periratetic vendor merchant should be taxed for the privilege of trading. He cannot be excluded but, if it be possible, he should at least be made to pay his just share of the expenses of maintaining 0 government.
 Another industry" should be abolished altogether. This is the business known as "speiling" It is an unmtigated nuisance that should no longer be given anchorage ground. It would not be tolerated in a little New England village or in Western hamlet. It is an unnecessary nfction upon the men, women and children of this or any community. With the first fleet of boats will horde of those migratory crers. and lungfest that will out-bedlam bedam will follow unless the business is declared nuisance. Its abolition will iniure one, and will protect a long-sufering people who have long enough sub rnitted to the infiction.
