The location is 100 miles north of
the Arctic circle and 700 miles south
OF Etah. Greenland 1t is not far from
the point where Macmillan's Crocker
Land expedition passed the winters of
1918. 1914. 1915 and 1916. On that oc-
casion the expedition was once re-
ported lost and two relief expeditions
were sent out in search of it, but Mac
milan finally returned. He announced
that Crocker Land was not land" as
believed possible by Peary. but an
ice mirage.
During the coming winter attempts
will be made to explore the coast of
Baffins Land. and next summer it
is planned to penetrate the interior.
there exists one of the richest and
most alluring fields Of research in the
north. The island is said to have
great mineral deposits and to possess
high mountains and beautiful lakes
which have never been seen by white
men. The region is believed to be an
immense breeding ground for water
fowl. whose nesting habits will be
the subject of study. while the pro-
gram of the scientists of the expedi-
tion also calls for field work in zoolo-
gy, botany, geology, meteorology and
terrestrial magnetism. Special obser-
vations will be taken of the magnetic
pole, which was located first by James
Ross in 1880 on the farther side of the
Boothia peninsula, not far from Mac
millan's proposed winter camp.
May Retreat BY Sleds.
An attempt also will be made to
circumnavigate Baffins Land. In the
event of a serious mishap to the Bow
doin, the party plans to retreat by
dog sledge to Fort Churchill. trad

Fox Land is very different from what
we find on our latest maps. Cape Wes-
ton and Cape Dorchester are some
thirty miles too far to the northward,
and at least a degree out Of longi-
tude.
Thirty miles or so south of the arc
tic circle the coast line trends due
eastward almost to the shores OF Net
tiling lake. There the country is low
and rolling and abounding with herds
of caribou. Upon these herds we
shall depend for food and clothing If
we should fail to reach the Fury and
Hecla straits.
Our wireless. installed by Prof.
Pierce of Harvard, is still with US.
sent out by Annapolis. When in win
ter quarters we shall put up a larger
antenae and undoubtedly keep in
touch with home through the year.
As yet We have seen no polar bear
or walrus, but seals. ducks. snow
geese are very numerous all along
this shore. To supplement our sup
ply on the Bowdoin we hope to secure
q goodly number of the latter before
their departure for the south. about
the middle of September.
If no word should be received from
us by April or May, you may know
that we are compelled to go into win
ter quarters on the western shores Of
Bafiins Land.

MUST SEE III LIGHT.

1t is to be hoped that the weekend sojourn
of the legislators at Atlantic City has enabled
them to take a more reasonable view OF their
duties at Trenton than was manifested at the
opening of the session. Especially is It to be
hoped that they have seen the light In the mat
ter of taking from the governor the power OF
appointing the members of the Public Utility
Commission.
AS the Newark Evening News pointed out
Saturday night. if the legislature believes the
governor is not to be trusted to appoint mem
bers of the Public Utility Commission. how can
it trust hi mwith the appointment of judges
and prosecutors? But the constitution provides
that the governor shall appoint the members
Of the judiciary, the appointive power being
one Of the functions of the executive. Politics
alone, therefore, would cause the Republican
legislature to remove from the governor the
power of naming the members of the utility
commission.
The senate is privileged to reject any or all
Of the nominees OF the governor and it is then
the duty of the governor to name other men
who will be acceptable to the senate. Further
than this the legislature has no right to go.
Such wing-clipping tactics as is now planned in
regard to the Public Utility Commission is
bound to be resented by the people.

TAKE ATIp FROM BEN.

Right now our school children are hearing a
deal about Ben Franklin, one of the very best
Americans who ever lived. They are being told
some things Ben Franklin said. Among them
is this gem:
IF you're in debt spend less"
1t is all right to teach this to our children,
but it isn't right to preach 1t to them when we
grownups aren't practicing 1t.
The nation is in debt-heaviiy in debt. We
face a deficit of two billions of dollars this
year. And we are doing this:
"our naval estimates for 1921 are nearly
$500, 900, 900, as compared with naval appro-
p~riations of about $500. 900. 900 in Great Britain
and about $3.50. 900, 900 in Japan"
There are three and a half million children
starving in Europe. Herbert Hoover says less
than the cost Of one modern battleship would
save the lives OF these children.
Who do you think Ben Franklin would talk
thrift to IL he were here today? To the Amer
lean school children. or TO members Of your

POLICE WORKING TOGETHER.

Prosecutor Stricken IL to be commended for
ne excellent start made in perfecting a county
organization Of police officials so that all can
work together in suppressing crime. The meet
ing held In New Brunswick yesterday is the
FIRST of its kind in the state. as far as we know,
although in Union county what is known as a
vigilance committee has been formed among
the various municipalities for mutual protec-
lion. The Middlesex prosecutor. however.
shows the way in thoroughly organizing the
county on a permanent basis.
Henceforth any kind OF a robbery. hold-up
n murder will be reported at once to the
,heriff's office. There someone in authority will
be always on duty. AS soon as a report of an
offense committed Is received at this central
onice every police Official in the county is at
,nce informed.
The idea of having telephones placed at all
important bridges is excellent for the Raritan
river divides the county almost directly in the
middle and there are but three highway bridges
IN the county crossing it. This
means that to pass from one section
of the county to the other. no matter what
highway the criminal might take, sooner or
later he has got to cross one or the other of
these bridges.

SINGLE TAX PROGRESS.

Every new election sees the vote for single
,.x a little larger. The fight in California has
been going on for several years. Incomplete
returns show that the vote in the recent cleo
ton exceeded 200, 900. a gain of about 100000
over 1918.
This gain was made In the face Of a very
bitter fight.
Tho single tag people feel some encourage
ment from the fact that the Farmer-Laoor
marty in washington polled enough votes TO
become the second party in the state and this
party is committed to the single tax proposition
nnre and simple. The vote OF the Farmer
Labor party in Washington state was 125'Oop'
The Single Tax party had It's presidenuai
ticket on the ballot in nine states and nominal
ed candidates for legislature or local Offices In
eleven.
But single tax, like prohibition and other
great issues, will never be accomplished as a
purely political issue. The Single Tax party may
keep the matter before the public, but once the
neople are aroused to the benefits Of the single
tax IL will be put across by whatever party
happens to be in power at the time.
Much progress is being made toward the
single tax where the so-called Single Tax party
Is hardly known. Baltimore is a striking example
and so are some of the cities of Pennsylvania
where there is a gradual reduction OF taxes on
so-calIed personal property. including ma
chinery and implements for work as well as on
buildings, the tax being made up from the land.
when there is no tax whatever on anything but
land. then we have the single tax pure and
simple: then a man is not penalized every time
bA builds a factory to give employment to hun
dreds Of men or for putting improvements on
his property.
Yes. single tax has a great deal in its favor
and it is coming slowly. but when it does come
II will no more be the Single Tax party that
will put it across than 1t was the Prohibition
party that made the country dry"
