TyHE first week Of the Eastern Bas.
i ketball League has come and gone
and the two best teams at this writing
are just where they can be expected
at the top.
So far rs local fans are concerned,
the showing Of the jasper Club was a
sad disappointment, and few more
weeks like the past will put the Jewels
completely out Of the running, for the
grst half. anyhow.
1t looks as il the managers Of both
tail.end clubs are In for q lot Of ex.
pcrimenting. and II such is the case
the teams will have hard time to over.

ton and Camden.
Up Mt Reading on Saturday they had
nine men in the game, one less than
is legally allowed. and Gil Schwab, one
Of the best players in the lineup, was
missing--probably over in New York
with the Metropolitan League and now
he refuses to play with the Bears.
Harry Riconda was missing from the
Jasper lineup on Friday. He will be
in the game AT Coatesville tonight, along
with lew Malone at center, who should
help the Jasper cause immensely.

government, but It is quite likely chat a working
agreement including two or more minority groups
will be necessary. But, no matter what arrange
Inent is made. the party or combination Of parties
that organizes the administrator will be intcom-t
Iplete charge of all the machinery Of government,
and will be directly responsible to the country for
tits management of affairs. Control Of the executive
by one political group andpf the legis-
tlatNc department by another, which has frequently
occurred in this country, is impossible under the
British system.
There is another important difference in the ele-
ment of time. The American congress which is to
|be elected this year will not enter upon its duties
in any case until March 4, 1928, and in the ordinary
course its first session would not be held until the
following December, thirteen months after election
In no case is it possible for a session of the new con-
igress to be held. until four months after election.
In the meantime another session Of the expiring con-
\gress must be held. No matter how alphabetically
the country should express its disapproval Of an ex-
listing congress, that congress will remain the active
agency of the government, with full powers to legis-1
late, through another entire session. The British
system differs again in a most important way. BY:
limitation or by order of dissolution the old parlia-
ment passes out Of existence heforeits successor is
born. The British elections this year are tentative
ly set for November 10. If it were deemed neces-
sary the new parliament could b., convened within
Ia week or two after that date, and could begin at
once to dispose Of the work which it was created to
perform in accordance with a policy which has been
approved by the people. 4
Each system has its advantages, and each its
defects There is one particular, to which atten-
ton has often been called, in which there could be
madNin the American method a change whose re-
suits. apparently, would be wholly beneficial, and
which would not interfere at all with the separation
OF the functions of the several departments which is
such a distinctive feature of the American system.
This relates to the time elapsing between a con-
igressional election and the converting of the new
congress. There ought to be no session of the old
congress after the new one is elected. Times and
seasons could be arranged so as to meet the require
nents of convenience. But the first regular session
of the new congress should be held within a reason
ably brief time after election, and, if an emergency
exists, it should be that congress, and not its prede-
|e c:. which is called into special session to deal
with the emergency ~
