Basketball Notes.

The Independents will play against
the Shelburne Fails basketball team
Tuesday evening. Brattleboro and
Shelburne Falls have always been
rivals and the game no doubt will
attract considerable interest.
The Brattleboro high school bas-
ketball team promises to be an ex-
ceptionally fast bunch of youngsters.
Judging by their work in the game
against Arms academy Friday even
ing. If they continue to improve their
claim to the school championship of
the state will be well founded.
The Independents have lost a
strong player this week in Charles
Stolte who will be out of the game
for the remainder of the season.
Stolte was a member of last years
strong Y. NJ. C. A. team and was con-
sidered one of its most heady men.
His place on the Independent team
will be difficult TO fill, and ii is like
ly that that aggregation will be
much weakened in consequence of
his retirement.
The game between Company / and
Company NJ of Newport, y. H.. which
was to have taken place Wednesday
evening. was cancelled on account of
bad weather conditions and the dan
ger of the visiting team being unable
10 make train connections. 1t is
probable that the athletic associa-
ton viii hold two games next Thurs
day evening. one between the Knights
Of Columbus and an out of town
team representing the same order
and the other between the high
school and Company l.

teresting ON account of the lack OF
team play, but 1t served to bring out
two comparatively new men who
ought to make good namely, Austin
and Young. p. Ferriter was the pivot
around which the knights OF Column

was largely due to his management
of the passing. Company was
handicapped by the absence OF Its
captain, Clune, but should have
played better game than 1t did
Trendall did the most effective work
for the soldiers although he missed
many chances for goals.
The game between the high school

the nucleus for an exceptionally
speedy team. Although lacking In
team work they covered closely AMI

ment" or "a cloak for territorial ag-
gression." We may be driven to COM
pei the debtor republics to the south
ward to pay their European creditors
for "it is far better that this country
should put through such an arrange
ment, rather than allow any foreign
country to undertake it." 1t does not
seem necessary that the navy should
"be increased beyond the present
of units" but we should add "a single
battleship to our navy each year" to
replace superseded or outworn YES
sels."
AS to our insular possessions and
connections, he urges the ratifica-
ton of his policy in the San Domingo
affair; he favors strong Notifications
in Hawaii; the removal of the Ding
ley tariff on Philippine products, and
the suspension of the operation of the
coastwise laws upon trade between the
archipelago and this country, as re-
quested by Secretary Taft. He rec
ommends that American citizenship
be conferred upon all citizens of Por-
to Rico; and he advises that
both in the Philippines and in Porto
Rico the regulations as to the grant
ing of lands and franchises be mod
fed so as to give Sufficiently liberal
terms to induce the investment of

AS for the territories, the president
recommends that Indian Territory

the number of immigrants allowed to
come in any one year to New York

Other recommendation of a gen.
eral or important nature are the fol
lowing:
More effective criminal laws, and a
law to punish a corrupt United States
officer when the consideration for his
crime is something besides money
Changes in the land laws and the
inclusion of Texas in the irrigation

More federal aid to the Mississippi

Federal care of the graves OF Con-

Federal law to regulate traffic In

Preservation of herd of American
