MUNICIPAL UNIFORMITY

Governor Fort of New Jersey. who
has been active in the congresses OF
governors AT Washington, has just made
q further application of the same prin-
ciple by calling together conference
CT all the mayors of municipalities
in the state, The gathering was brief
III duration and Informal in conduct. but
was not without benefit, and il has
given rise TO talk about the permanent
formation Of "A House of Mayors" 1t
is not certain that this is desirable. or
as desirable as the regular meeting OF
the governors. because the relations
among cities and boroughs are very diff
ferent from those among states Cities
enjoy 10 such independent sovereignty
as do the states. but are merely Great

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t seems as though the newspapers
give too much space to the suffrage women
and the more retiring of that part or the
human family--the homekeepers, the ousy
wives and mothers-are quite ignored we
are the happy. satisfied ones in the love
and care of thoughtful and wise fathers
and husbands and we wish the government
of our country to remain in their hands
We hope the time will soon come when
the loud voiced, bold women, VINO so per-
sistently run after our public men TO dic-
tate to them what they must do, will have
a stop put to their actions by the men
who have the power, and need not hesitate
to use il in stern rebulle Of those who are
trying to give us 'petticoat government,
which is so undesirable In every respect and
so repugnant to the thousands Of quiet
women. MRS. PAUL WRIGHT.

SYSTEMATIC BIBLE READING.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Nav [ remind the readers of The
Tribune that there is matchless library
of sixty-sfx books which can be purchased
in cloth edition for 50 cents. the sixty-siX
books being. for the sake of convenience
stitched into one volume? That library is
none other than the Bible.
Rut how many of us have really read it
through? How many read 1T every day?
Well In these United States more than
seventy thousand people do that very thing.
Perhaps many more do. hut OF these sew
enty thousand we are pretty sure, because
they belong to a union whose members are
pledged TO read one and the same chapter
daily. and to read conSecutively from Gene
sis to Revelation. To complete the golden
cycle OF chapters requires three years and
three months.
Some there are who read. in connection
with the course. Amos Wells's unique work,
The Living Bible which assigns seven
chapters a week for 169 weeks, and gives
with each comment singularly appropri-
ate and helpful. This can be procured Of
the United Society of Christian Endeayor,
fremont Temple. Boston.
\ far larger number use simply the cards
Of membership. which cost only four cents
annually and which give on one side the
readings for a year and the other some
helpful hints. These can be had at any
time on application TO the Bible and Prayer
Union, Washington.
The present would seem to be a very ia
Vorable time to join the union, as the read
ings for some time to come VIII be- in the
Psalms. Who would not like to be led nv
gentle guidance and coastraint. and. in
company with many another pilgrim
through the delectable region OF the Psalms
and then on and on. through Prophecies
Gospels. Epistles and Apocalypse?

DR.. Cook has been missing 50 long

permissible TO wonder whether he in

pearing permanently. Impossible. every

impossible than his actual exploit Of

delayed explanations are preferably
avoided After hiding Yourself from the
world for several months YOU cannot
turn up as nOnchalantly as if you had
merely gone down TO Atlantic City for
the week end without aCquainting your
friends with your intentions.
A notion seems to prevail that DR..
Cook disappeared because he felt that
he was at the end OF his tether and
wished 10 escape the embarrassment
and humiliation in store for him. We
refuse TO entertain that explanation. He
disappeared because obviously il was
an exploit worthy If him. What was
the next thing for Il man to do who
timed his return from the mysterious
Arctic region just a day or two before
the real discoverer of the pole, who had
''hornswoggled' the kingdom Of Denmark

dermen, who kept the world for 4
couple of months in an uproar. except
to disappear when to disappear was so
obviously impossible: He was perform
