them, but there is said to be no law
against it.

Pronounce It WI-o-WaY."

Why do effete customs prevail in
mispronouncing the name of this
state as w-o.wah," accenting the
second syllable2 No resident of the
state pronounces it that heathenish
way, but correctly "I-o-way," the first
syllable accented. In fact, the name
was sometimes spelled "Ioway" on
old maps, noticeably one accompany
ing report of Lewis and Clarke's
expedition, published in 1914. In the
body of the report the name is also
spelled Ayauway, French spelling Of
the same sounds. In order to secure a
firm establishment of our rights as to
the name of the Hawkeye state, per-
haps the Legislature will have to do
as was done in Arkansas, pass law
fixing it.-Dubuque Herald.
