Democrats In congress aligned themselves
solidly against this Republican legislation,

The Press can easily find this Repub-

capitol 1t reached the place it was in
tended to occupy. The Press can also
readily find the practically solid Demo-

abundant evidence that no business OF
the Fifty-sixth congress was more care
fully attended to than the accomplish
ment of its firm purpose to let the trusts

gress has shown equal dissemination to
injure the feelings of the managers of
monopolistic combines.

a greater variety of pronunciation than
that of any statesman who has ever oc-
cupied the front rank.
The English people SHE'D at "D'Israeli"
when they first saw 1t in print. and
Americans when they first saw "Thiers"
were given pause. BonaParte changed
the spelling of his name. and there ara
some purists who excite amusement by
etill spelling it "Buonaparte' and pro
nouncing it accordingly
But for man of worldwide fame, as
The. president of the United States must
necessarily be in these days, there has
never before been a case like that OF
Roosevelt to puzzle mankind Even
Goethe" and "Pepys" were not so mys-
tifying.
Elsewhere than in New York and in
Holland and South Africa, where Dutch
names are common, the greatest varia-
tions of the presidents name are to be
met with. People in England are at sea
about it, On the continent almost every
man has his own opinion on the subject,
Here are few Of the vagaries:
