How to Pronounce Roosevelt"

Can you-
Can what.
Can you pronounce the name of
the PRESIDENT
Everyone pronounces it-but do
any of US voice it correctly!
The current pronunciation ranges
from ''Roosey-felt' to the old
woman's s'Rose-and- -feH-it," and
whoever asked before for the ex-
actly correct ways
Investigation throws light on
the subject. The writer learned
from the old time hunting friend
of the President that ''RooseveIt''
with the ''o' sounded as in s'no''
The first ''e'' being given almost nc
sound is the way the First Man OF
the Nation pronounces his family
name.

who have put up the money to
keep the Democratic party in pow
er. A great deal was said by the
Democrats during the Missouri
campaign of 1898, and later, when
the Legislature met, some more
of the same kind of talk was given
out, what wonders the party was
going to accomplish in regulating
the corporations. The octopus
was to be given at least several
knockout blows. ALL this time
the corporations had the party
bought up with contributions to
its campaign fund.- and had ar
ranged, according to MIR. Card
Wells testimony out of school. with
the Democratic party organization
for protection against the very bills
which were to lay them out. Mr..
Cardwell's arraignment of his par
tvs rottcness is more severe than
anything that has ever come from
Republican sources. He speaks
from the personal experience of a
man who wanted to be honest in
his capacity asa representative of
the people, and having pledged
himself to give his aid to the enact
ment of laws regulating corpora
tions enjoying special privileges at
the hands of the people, found his
good intentions blocked and his ef-
forts rendered futile by a prear-
ranged deal between the party and
the corporation lobby.

Imperialism is evidently no long
or an issue. Not single Bryanite
paper has applantfed the recent
massacre of company of United
States troops, in the Philippine Is
lands. A few months ago these
papers would have heralded this
atrocious work of barbarians as
the sublime effort of superior
people trying to throw off the yoke
Of tyranny placed upoa them by
the United States government.

The fact has been repeatedly
pointed out by the State Republi-
can, in discussions of the Missouri
franchise tax law, that it is dem.
onstrated to be practically y inopera-
tive. Tie assessment of the cor
porate properties in Missouri this
year is not what it should have
been, under the increase in value
of all forms of property, had there
been no such thing as q franchise
tax law in the statutes Of the state.
And the fact that the state is prac-
tically without franchise taxing
law is made all the clearer for the
reason that never before, in the
history of the country, have the
evidences of real franchise values
been so many and so plain. There
have been enormous increases ia
the value of stocks and all sorts OF
corporations, and while some of
this was being speculative, most
of it has rested upon an admitted
increase in the earning power OF
the properties. 1t may be fairly
said that in the case of practically
all the Missouri corporations sub.
ject to the review of the state
board of equalization, an increase
in the value of their stocks has
been the rule, and that, in every
case, the increase is the result o1
improved conditions in the pro
perties and large increaser in theil
earning powers. In view of thii
undeniablc fact the small increase il
corporate assessments in Missouri
is inexpIicable. 2epubli.
