literary man to-day has to stand on the
level in seeking an appointment as consul
that occupied by the lawyer or the merchant.
There are not as many writer's of books and es-
says in the service to-day as there were in the
past, and in one way the United States govern
ment is the loser thereby.
If some one would go far back through the files
of the state department and read the consular
ports contained therein, he doubtless would run
across some clever bits of writing put on paper
by men who knew the art and who gave interest
and color and life to some seemingly dry as dust
trade subject. 1t is very likely that the reports
that Francis Bret Harte wrote when he was consul
at Glasgow, Scotland, would make delightful read
ing even though they treated on the subject of
wool or, it may be, of Scotch whisky or Scotch
cattle There have been other literary men in the
service some of them better known than Bret
Harte. 1t is only necessary to give the names
of Washington Irving and Nathaniel Haw-
thorne to prove the point. Not long ago in the
service abroad the government had Albion w.
Tourgee, Arthur Sherburne Hardy, James JEFF
frey Roach, and George Horton. Two of these
men died comparatively recently, but they lived

In the above figure, we Will as
sumo that A, b, G and ID represent
different towns which are connected
by Long Distance lines in the man
ner shown. We first built line
from A to boo miles, and estab-
lished a rate based on pole line mile
age; then we extended the line
rate between b and C was again fig
ured on the pole line mileage. but
we also wanted to quote rate be-
tween A and c, and according to
the pole line mileage, we were oblig-
cd to base the rate on 20O-mile
haul. Later on. the line was entend-
ed to D-50 miles further. and a
rate made between A and d. based
again on pole line milage via b and
G to d. Now. the air line distance
between A and ID Is approximately
ITO miles. while by the pole line rout
through and C. 1t is $50 miles.
1t can be seen that a rate based
on q 250-mile haul must necessarily
seem excessive when we consider the
actual distance between towns A and
d.
This is also true OF the rate be-
tween A and C; pole line 200 miles,
direct line 141 miles; and between b
and d as well, where the pole line
route amounts to $50 miles. while by
direct or Hair line'' 1t Is only ITO
miles
II rs clear from the above illustra-
tdon that. as our lines were extended
and rates based upon pole line nile
age or routes. taking 1t throughout
the whole system. there have grown
ND in many cases, what appear to
the public, high charges for compare
lively short distances; while between
other points, as A to B, the charges
are consistent In nearly all cases.
However. this company has decid-
cd that the only solution Of this i'm
nortant problem will be straight
hrainess-Nke reimbursement OF all
Long Distance rates from an enureiy
new basis; such basis. 1t has been
aetermined. to be entirely just and
eo,dtable to all, must be figured ap-
nrox,mately. on air line distances be-
tween all points. altogether disre'
