A House of Governors and its constitutional echoes
The article argues that a House of Governors arose partly from fear of federal centralization and notes the presidency has already gathered state leaders in conference, effectively creating such a body. It suggests potential benefits include promoting uniform legislation on vital issues and amplifying the public voice, while acknowledging questions about need and scope.

Experiments on the Brooklyn Bridge and pay as you enter cars showed disorder can yield to orderly system changes. More reforms in subway car loading and unloading would train riders to embrace faster, smoother service.

The Meaning of Muff in London Chronicle
The London Chronicle notes muffs were worn by more men than women in Paris and offers a playful definition as a soft hand warmer. It traces muff to German origins where the term also means a sulky person or growling dog, suggesting two different words.
