"HERE are several curious features of geogra-
p peste a with With the Panama CA Canal te school,
boy is asked to tell where the canal is located, he
will probably reply that it is to extend from the
Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans One would infer
west. AS matter of fact however the so called
western end of the canal is farther east than the
SO called eastern end. Thus, the Captain of ship
leaving the canal and entering the Gulf of Panama
may the coming above the horizon before the
Captain who enters the other end of the canal at
the same hour.
South America could better be termed East
America, for the reason that its east coast lies
south of Africa than it does any part of North
America. If line is drawn on the globe from the
North Pole to the South Pole, passing through the
Florida peninsula it will not touch any part of
South America, but run through the Pacific Ocean
west OF this continent Boston is about on line
with the cities the west coast of South America,
being almost directly north of the United States of
Colombia Buffalo is perhaps directly north of
the Panama Canal as any of the larger communities
of the United States, although this is located in the
eastern part of North America.
Perversities of Maps
IN estimating the location of place. we are likely to
make Our calculations from the maps found in the
atlas. This is why the routes which ships
will take in crossing the Atlantic and the Pacific,
using the Panama waterway, very different from
what might be imagined. Thus the vessel which goes
from the canal yokohama in Japan the coast
OF China VIII take course which apparently is tar
longer than the should measure on the map.
In the first place, the Captain must steer quite
distance southwark to get out of the bay of Panama
with which the canal connects. Then he heads for
Cape San Lucas, which is the most southern point
of the long peninsula of Southern California.
Passing in sight of the cape, he skirts the California
coast rounding Cape Mendocino, and actually going
as far north as the string of islands which reach
nearly from Alaska to the Asiatic mainland for the
Aeutian course is the shortest across the Pacific to
either Yokohama or Shanghai. To give the exact
figures it is seven thousand eight hundred and thir
teen miles, if the steamer stops at San Francisco 1t
would seem as if such voyage was several thousand
miles longer than the distance measured directly
across the map, which would make the Sandwich
Islands midway stopping point. What appears to
be the shortest passage, however, is over fifteen
hundred miles longer than the route which takes the
vessel to the very northern border of the Pacific
Ocean and almost in sight of Alaska.
This paradox, which is as strange as the fact that
the Pacific end of the canal is the place where
the rises than the Atlantic end is caused by the
fact that it is impossible correctly to measure dis
tances the Pacific Ocean

A Guaranty of Independence

nNE important guaranty of independence is a
~ long tenure Of Office. In the nation and in
Pennsylvania the term of judicial Office of it's highest
court is twenty-one years; in New York, fourteen;
and the feeling is growing in the States that it is
the part of wisdom to give long tenure to judicial
Office. Few, if any, recent constitutions, con-
stitutiona1 changes have reduced the judicial term
while some have increased it. long tenure of
office should be coupled with an assurance of sup
port after the termination of official life By the
laws of Congress, Federal judge who has attained

Raleigh, n. c., Aug. "a meet
ing of representatives of the freight
traffic departments of leading North
Carolina railways with Governor
Glenn and the state corporation COM
mission was held today, for the pur-
pose of discussing charges of freight
rate determinations against various
shipping points. An appropriation of
$4,000 was provided by the last leg
islature to probe this matter and de-
fray the expenses of an investigation.
Governor Glenn hopes to effect a
settlement without litigation and has
appealed to the roads to cooperate
with him in amicable discussing the
subject.
In regard to the alleged discrimi-
nation which is being considered to-
day Governor Glenn has said:
"All our shippers and merchants
desire is that they shall be treated
in the same way that Virginia ship
pers are treated and should have one
or more distributing points in North
Carolina to which and through which
we can get the same rates now given
Lynchburg, Richmond and Norfolk.
The railroads now put us at great
disadvantage in competing with mer-
chants of other states and are, to
say the least of it, unjust to our peo-
pie.
Goods are shipped to Lynchburg
through Winston, Greensboro and
Durham for less than they can be
shipped to these points; in fact, our
shippers can have their goods shipped
to Lynchburg and then pay the local
rate back to their place cheaper than
they can have them shipped direct
This, upon its face, is unfair"
