SENATOR WAS DOWN THE ROW
Governor Of Slate outranks the Repre-
sentative in the Upper Branch
of Congress.

Many people will be surprised to
learn that governor outranks sena-
tor. according to the law of precedence
In vogue in other countries.
A few years ago the new senator
from Vermont. Carroll S. Page. was
crossing the Atlantic with the late Sen
ator Redfieid Proctor in the Cunard
steamship Campania. They had. OF
course. seats at the captains table.
Senator then tGovernor) Page was
surprised to find himself occupying the
post OF honor, with Senator Proctor
seated further down the table.
This the modest governor of the
Green Mountain state thought was not
quite correct and he demonstrated.
explaining that there must be some
error. as his friend was United
States senator and his superior in
rank. He was told that governor out
ranks a senator-National Magazine.

Oriqin Of Americas Name.

It Is a curious chance that America
received its name from a German
geographer. Old Prof. Waldseemuel-
Ter made a mistake. indeed, when he
named the new countries at Brazil
after the Florentine Amerigo Yes
pucci. 1t would have been far more
lust to name the new world after Co
lumbus, but though Waldseemueller
recognized his mistake and withdrew
the name, 1t remained in use. And
curiously enough. that Amerigo Yes
pucci whose name gave origin to the
name of America, had himself, though
an Italian. still a German family
name. Emmerich. Emery In English
Thus America is a continent with a
German name. the meaning Of which
might. perhaps. be interpreted as
rich in corn" IL this is correct. Prof
Waldseemueller chose an incorrect
but appropriate name.-Prof. Al

T,.E JuoeEsHip APPOINTMENT.

In the nomination TO the Federal
court bench of Judge Conner of North
Carolina, an old line. consistent and I'M
hyphenated Democrat, President Taft
has shown distrust OF the "trimmers"
still claiming Democracy as their
creed. when IL comes to filing a po-
sition OF the highest trust.
Taft-Democrsts- viii do for post
Offices, revenue commissioners and so
forth wherein executive ability is at
higher premium than stability OF
principle and profundity and consist
ency OF mind. But a jurist. Mr.. Taft
recognizes, should be something more
than an oscilisting person who
changes his politics with his shirt
and stands ready to train with either
party which at the moment appears
TO be the stronger.
1t is toss-up which OF the two
gangs is the madden at the Conner
appointment-the Ncrtn Carolina Re-
publicans or the North Carolina Taft
Democrats
