THE CONTINENTAL SHELF.

Sir Clements Markham told the Royal Geo
graphical Society in London the other evening
what he regards as the one Held within the
Arctic Circle in which exploration is really de-
sirable This is the Beaufort Sea, which stretches
westward from the Parry Archipelago. Einar
Nikklesen, the Dane whose plans for visiting
that quarter Of the globe next year We're recently
mentioned in these columns, was present at the
meeting which Sir Clements was addressing, and
a gracious reference was made to his intentions.
IL appears that another explorer, A. II. Harri-
son cherishes the same purpose as Captain
Mikklesen, and the Royal Geographical Society
became aware of the fact before it learned of the
other project While priority of announcement
gives Mr. Harrison special claim on the inter-
est of that organization however, there are no
indications of unpleasant rivalry. Besides, after
getting clear of the continent the two men Will
follow slightly different routes. Captain Mikkle-
sen purposes to establish winter quarters at the
southwestern corner of Banks Land and Mr.,
Harrison has selected Prince Patrick Island,
little further north as his base.
The utterances of Sir Clements Markham on
this subject have peculiar value He visited the
Parry Archipelago himself half a century ago,
and has watched all subsequent Arctic research
with zest and intelligence. He has for many
years been the president of the Royal Geograph-
ical Society and is unquestionably the highest
British authority on exploration Other geogra-
pliers sometimes dissent from his opinions.
few of them feel more curiosity than he does for
instance about tie conditions which exist at the
North Pole; but when he declares that any par
ticuIar subject deserves investigation there will
be practically universal agreement with him.
Concerning the possibility of finding any moro
land in the Arctic regions Sir Clements argues
in this fashion: Though wide stretch of water
separates Spitzbergen aud Franz Josef Land
from the Euro-Asian continent, the sea between
them is shallow. The islands stand near the
edge of shelf which terminates abruptly In
higher Iatitudes Nansen's soundings revealed

GLIDING THE GRIDIRON.

We are not unmindful of the warning against
counting any man happy until he is dead, and we
are not going to be so rash as to pronounce this
football season less guilty than usual of violence
and mayhem until the last whistle has blown.
Yet we are not able to deny ourselves a certain
exutation, though tempered with fear and tren-
bling at the fact that thus far-and it is pretty
far-the season of this strenuous game has pro-
ceeded with comparatively few serious examples
of wilfu brutality. There have been few cases
among minor teams Of prize-ring and rat-pit tao
tics, which have promptly met with their de-
served reprobation. But the big games, which
set the pace for the sport in general, have been
particularly free from wanton roughness.
III this there is great gain, and no small de
gree of glory We have heard of Casar's thrice
refusing the crown upon the Lupercal, of Gives
standing astonished at his own moderation, and
even of Sandy Tipton'S rising for moment su-
perior to the fact that he had an and two
bowers in his sleeve; but these were petty tri-
umphs compared with that Of him who conquers
passion on the football field. When man has
his face inserted into the mud of the trampled
arena and is then skidded five yards with one
man sitting on the back of his head and two
others Juggling their heels into his ribs, for him
to rise and smile serenely at his adversaries in
stead of sailing in and swatting them galley
west REQUIRES an exceptionally fine type of what
Arnold called sweetness and light. Nor does it
bespeak mean degree Of moral exaltation to
let your opponent advance the ball for a gain
when you might throw him back for a loss by the
gentle expedient of dislocating his collarbone or
vigorously screwing the point of your elbow into
his eye.
We would not be unduly optimistic. Yet it
does seem to us that the gridiron is being gilded
with the glory of good deeds 1t is teaching
lesson of selfrestraint which we may hope to see
confirmed and perhaps. some day of days, ex-
tended to other fields where it is sorely needed
If for example, the crowd that wants to get off
and the crowd that wants to get on a subway
train at an express station would only emulate
the manners of two football elevens meeting in
midfieldl Or if the Brooklyn Bridge contingent
at 5 As p m. would only comport itself with the
| gentle courtesy and reserve of a team with the
ball on the 5-yard line at second down! Per-
haps it is too much to expect such things; and
yet as we have said, the record of this football
year has given us hopes.

VERY NOTES.-THE.

Last winter Mr.. Everett Colby tried to per-
/ suade the New-Jersey Legislature to pass law
prohibiting the granting of perpetual franchises
! to public service corporations He did not
| succeed. OF course his failure not due to
| any tenderness for the feelings of corporations
| A few suspicious and cynical persons ins1nuated
that such was the case, but the legislators SAID IL
wasn't so, and they surely knew. The solons
were prompted, as they confessed, by their re-
| ligous devotion to home rule Never, never
would they tie the hands Of municipalities deslr-
| ing to make gifts to aItruistic corporations.
| So Mr. Colby had to be content with the
passage ef bill providing for the appointment
of commission to Investigate the whole subject
| The proposition involved in this enactment was
aDparentIy so tremendous that it took the Gov
ernor three or four months to find men able and
willing to assume the crushing responsibility. He
finally succeeded. Recently there have been so
| lieitous inquiries as to what had become of the
commission. Was it doing anything? Or did it
intend doing anything?
One of the commissioners has furnished con-
elusive reply. The commission has been extraor-
dinarily active. It has written to the Secretary
of State in each state asking for information as
to statutes and to financial houses for opinions
presumably as to whether companies can float
stocks and bonds on limited franchises. The
commission could hardly find time, of course, to
get in touch with the governors, legislators and
leaders of thought In the various states Any
way these men could tell only what the trend of
public sentiment is and what is likely to be done
in the near future. 1t is doubtless more salts
factory to get summaries Of musty statutes en-
acted before the people began to take an intelli-
gent interest in franchises and to get the ideas
of capitalists who naturally prefer an unlimited
| to a limited franchise as security for their
money.

LICENSE OR NO LICENSEa

Asbury Parks liquor licensing question is to
come before the New-Jersey Legislature a few
months hence If the bill to be presented makes
mandatory the issuance of licenses under certain
conditions there will undoubtedly be vigorous
opposition to it from the champions of home rule
in addition TO the antagonists who are naturally
against the legalized sale of liquor in that fa-
nous summer resort
Asbury Park is peculiarly situated. Its next
door neighbor is Ocean Grove, and the directors
of the latter place had the legislature, years ago.
pass q law which prohibited the licensing of
liquor selling anywhere in Asbury Park. For
years the spirit of that law was fagrantly vio-
lated. Liquor was sold in almost every hotel in
Asbury Park, but no license fee was paid with
the exception of the federal excise tax. Raids
were made periodically on a few of the smaller
fry among the volators, and when complaint of
this unfair discrimination was urged some of the
largest hotel keepers were prosecuted.
Finally the local authorities ordered special
election to determine whether or not an excise
board should be created to issue licenses. If the
voters decided in the affirmative, the intention
was TO force the champions of the prohibitory
law TO fight out in the courts the question of the
constitutionality of that law. Contrary to the
general expectation, the popular vote ad,
verse to the proposed licensing. There were of
course. many explanations Forthcoming. hut the
most plausible one was that the smaller hotel
keepers had Joined the prohibitionists because
they feared the establishment of very high

electorate: IL is now more than ten years since
there was Liberal government ia the United
kingdom: surely it would be proper to have
at least a few weeks of one before there is
another election so that the people might know
who the authoritative Liberal leaders were and
what was the policy of their party; TO ask an
electorate to vote for party that for more
than ten years had had no responsibilities and
had enuncIated no programme save one OF
oppositioh TO the existing government would
be to ask something like a vote in the dark !;
ton the electorate would receive much in
formation concerning Liberal leaderships and
policies and information which it really ought
to have before it votes.
But the Liberals are not likely to accept this
argument and consent to take Office, and, IL
they decline to do so, the present ministry will
practically be compelled TO remain in Office, at
least long enough to dissolve Parliament and hold
an election 1t is now thought probable that on
that ground the Balfour ministry will not resign,
but viii presently announce a dissolution. In
that case the British electorate would be called
upon to choose between party which had been
in power for ten years and whose policy on every
issue was we'll known and one which had been
out for ten years and whose policies and even
whose official leaders were chiefly to be eonject-
ured. That would be to ask it to sign, as MIR.
Gladstone once said, blank check. Neverthe-
less that is precisely what it has done on more
than few occasions, and will, if necessary, do
again without hesitation.

an ocean that was two thousand fathoms, or
more than two miles, deep This probably ex-
tends past the pole toward America, and no land
which is now known rises from any such DEPTH
The only hope of making new discoveries, tnen,
is afforded by the chance that islands may skirt
the continental shelf which reaches up into the
Beaufort Sea. A wisely directed search rev
hundred miles north of Alaska thus AFFORDS the
chief, if not the sole, chance of success
Whether or not the skepticism of Sir Clements
regarding the vicinity of the pole is justified his
approval of the plans of Mr.. Harrison and Cap
tain Mikklesen is extremely significant. It
shows that he puts the same Interpretation as
they do on the behavior of the ocean currents in
the region to be explored, and attaches value to
the legends which indicate that migration of
Esquinaus from Siberia might have been pro-
NOTED by chain of islands which are not out
lined on modern maps. His verdict on the testi-
mony is really the most encouraging feature of
the situation.
The point toward which Captain M1kklesen
will direct his sledges IN the final stage of his
journey two years hence is in latitude I6 MT
Harrison's destination was not specified by Sir
Clements, but it probably does not lie much FUR
ther north. Should any discovery be made by
either expedition south of the S0th parallel there
will still be reason for wanting to know what
exists in higher latitudes. Hence, If an Island
big enough to serve as base of new operations
is found it should be utilized for further 1nvest-
cations Soundings are needed in order to 1nd1-
cate with greater precision than has been posi-
BILE hitherto the position of the continental shelf
After this has been determined it may be thought
worth while to look for something beyond.
New-York tribune., 1905-11-25
THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT.

Indications increase that the end Of the
present British administration is near at hand.
The Cabinet has apparently been considering
which of three courses to adopt-to hold on
in office to resign or TO dissolve Parliament
No official announcement of the decision is
forthcoming, ii, indeed, a decision has been
made. but it seems probable that either resig-
nation or dissolution will soon be proclaimed.
II would doubtless be practicable for the Cabi-
net to remain in Office longer, to the end or
its constitutional term, provided it left some
seriously controversial questions on the shelf
But there would be little satisfaction or credit
In maintaining government in that fashion.
n government that could not, for the sake OF
holding its majority, speak its own mind or
nress the measures it deemed desirable. There
would be q loss of political prestige in such
q course. besides failure TO do the govern
mept's whole duty TO the nation IL, then, he
is convinced that the life of his government
could be prolonged only in such circumstances,
Mr. Ralfour will choose wisely, from both the
nartisan and the patriotic point of view, in
bringing the term of his ministry to an end.
There Is room for argument as to whether
he should merely resign and let the opposition
Try its hand at government or should dissolve
Parliament and appeal TO the country. Ihe
former might, from some points or V1ew' seem
the reasonable course, and the conservative
argument would be something like this: The
present Parliament has still nearly two years
of legal iife and at least one year, according
10 CUSTOM there is no good reason for impos-
Ing the cost aud agitation of general elections
on the country any oftener than is necessary
If the Liberal party is able to carry on the
business of the nation with the present Parlia-
ment, it might well have a chance TO do so,
and, If it is not, it would seem to be only fair
to let il make a record in Parliament enun-
c1ata ttA issues and make the appeal to the
