FAITHFUL TO DR.. COOK
This Reader Believes That He Did
Reach the Pole.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The Tribune of the 1ith instant
has one OF the most interesting articles
that any paper or magazine has printed
in a long time. | allude to the extract
from The North Pole and Bradley
Land" by the learned scientist DR.. Balch.
OF Spruce street. Philadelphia, in which
he states his belief that DIR. Cook really
did reach the pole and was the first there,
too.
This will indeed be glad news to the
numerous friends OF Dr. Cook, who have
Loyalty stood by him through all the UNI
pleasant controversy that has ensued
since he announced his discovery of the
pole. Thousands In this and other coun-
tries who have never seen him believe his
statement and admire the quiet, dignified
manner with which he bore the insults
and abuse heaped on him by interested
parties.
IL Professor MacMillan's proposed ex-
petition will be the means Of conclusively
proving that DR.. Cook was the real dis
coverer OF the pole, what CONSERVATION !,
will cause in the scientific world and
among a host of people who are not in
the world OF science
Strange things happen every day that
cause considerable wonderment But If
DR.. Cook is fairly and justly indicated
his vindlcation will cause the greatest
sensation that his world has known in a
long time. and there will be some sore
hearts and sorely WOUNDED vanity.

Transatlantic Aviation.

Bruckers venture If It is TO be regarded seriously,
differs In at least two respects from the ilfated
one Of Wellman. with which comparison will natu-
rally be made The distance to be traversed from
land to land will in one case be about half as great
as I'm the other. BY starting from an island well
off the African coast, and planning TO descend
first in the West Indies it will be necessary TO span
a gap of scarcely more than 1900 miles. Between
Atlantic City and the nearest shore of Europe an
ample 5000 miles intervenes. In at least one way
Brucker will enjoy distinct advantage.
On the other hand, the latest attempt to cross
the Atlantic by the aerial highway may be beset
with & serious drawback. In the Northern Henri
sphere outside the trade wind belt westerly breezes
prevail especially at an elevation Of several thou
sand feet Their existence and influence were
shown by the drifting matches-they not true
races-in which considerable balloons took part
few years ago. In them the gas bags were borne
from some point usually ST Louis, in a generally
eastward direction. From these winds Wellman
flight been practicable Bruckers path lies further
south than WemaD's, but ii is not unlikely that he
will be hindered more less by opposing breezes.
How strong this apparently unfayorable agency
will prove in the voyage from Las Palmas is one Of
the questions to be solved Will it Offset the prom
ised gain due TO a shorter route? From the popu
lar point Of view these are perhaps the most i'm

THE HARP AND THE BAGPIPE
The Battle of the Gaels Breaks Out
Anew.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Neither the Bible nor the history
Of Scotland is a sealed book In the land
north OF the Tweed" The peasant, II he
so desires, can become as familiar with
either as the titled gentleman. Charity
begins at home. II the Irish made Scot
land what she is, If they caused Ulster to
overflow with peace and prosperity, why
didn't they act similarly to Munster. Con-
naught and Leinster? Even presum!ng
the Scots were Irish, what became Of the
Picts or Caledonians who peopled North
Britain from time immemorial, likewise
the hordes Of Angles. Saxons and Jutes
who settled south OF the Forth?
Tradition says we get the word Scots
from Scotia, one of the daughters OF
Rameses III, she who married Gathelus,
son of the founder of Athens. But, be
that as 1t may. they are never heard
of In Ireland until the third century.
BY all the ancient writer's prior to
the third century the inhabitants of
Ireland are called Hyberni. Hyberione, and
Ptolemy. the geographer, who enumerates
about twenty different tribes In Ireland,
Is entirely silent as to the existence or
the Scots. Ammlanus Marcellnus says
the Scots were a wandering. conquerlng
people like the Franks Of Gaul; that after
the Franks settled In Gaul two peoples ap-
pear In history as the inhabitants Of that
countrywide GALL, the original inhabi-
tants, and the Franci, the new settlers.
SO, In Ireland. two kinds OF people appear
in the third century. the Hyberni. the an
clent inhabitants; the Scott, a new people
never before heard OF In Ireland. He
also says that as the Franci were dis
tinguished from the Gall, the former APP
pearing by being masters or conQuerors,
as the nobility and gentry, and the Call
as the commons, SO the Scots appear
after their settlement In Ireland distin-
guished In like manner from the Hyberni.

China''s Day of Prayer.

The proclamation by the Chinese government Of
a day Of Christian prayer for its guidance in the
problems which beset it, is the most extraordinary
and by no means the least significant incident in
the whole extraordinary and significant revolution
through which that country has been passing. In
deed it is the most noteworthy act in relation to
religious affairs which we can recall in the recent
history of the nonChristan lands of Asia The
japanese government some time ago gave official
recognition TO Christianity as one of the three great
prevailing religions of that empire but even that
fell much short Of what China has done.
Two interpretations will be put upon the act, both
Of them highly significant. Church people will hold
that it indicates the spiritual power of Christianity
in China. and the Chinese governments recognition
thereof and of its own dependence upon divine
guidance. Others belonging to the family of Gallo,
who cared for none of these things will see in it

Protecting the Public from the Truth.

Senator Works, of California, took a melancholy

dav. He was arguing for his bill to prevent news
papers in the District of Columbia from printing
details Of crimes accidents and tragedies. He adj
United that the bill was not likely to become Il
law. But he wished TO call the attention OF the
country "to one of the greatest most powerful ana
most corruptng evils and influences of the present
"age."

Of reform. such as that upon which the Senator
bases his plea for silence But the mental result
must have been not far from that which would be
achieved by his bill if it became law.
A prettier gayer world it might be for us all II
we could shut our eyes to what Senator Works
calls the tragedies of life But it would be rather
