The commonly heard "wid-duh"
and "Wid-der' are vulgarisms that
careful speakers will want to avoid.
In America there is curious
speech perversion which, to me has
no satisfactory explanation: Most of
us prefer the unlovely "uh" sound
in arrow. borrow, cello, minnow,
pillow, potato, Toledo, torpedo,
window, yellow. etc, as "ar-ruh,"
bor-ruh, cel-luh, min-nuh, pil-luh
pota-tuh, Tole-duh, torpe-duh,
win-duh. yel-luh." but we scrupu-
lousy voice the correct CO. in scores
of such words as domino, bungalow,
motto, hero. cargo, presto, flamingo.
If We say hello correctly, why
should we say ''mel-luh" and "fel-
luh?" Since we use the correct long
20" in Plato, why do we persist in
saying "pota-tuh" and "toma-tuh?"
We never mispronounce domino;
why. then. "albi-nuh" and min
nuh" for albino and minnow?
If any reader has a workable
theory to explain this puzzling in
consistency, I should be delighted to
hear from him.
At any rate, the corruption of 20"
to "uh" in all the foregoing words,
and hundreds more, should be
Stunned by those who are mindful
of their accents. The last syllable

Rx JESSIE FANT EVANS.

As greatly simplified as are the
plans for President Roosevelts third
Inauguration January 20, they are
still in amazing contrast to the ap-
parent absence of any such prepa-
rations for the induction into office
of Thomas Jefferson, third President
of the United States, and the first
Chief Executive inaugurated In the
Nations Capital.
Momentous, too, are the changes
in the Capital City.
That there was no inaugural pa
rade from the unfinished Capitol
Building up Pennsylvania avenue
on March 4, 1901, was not entirely
q matter of the vaunted "Jeffer-
sonian simplicity" either.
It would have been impossible to
have had one on this since-historic
thoroughfare unless it had taken
to barges or boats for part OF the
way.
The Tiber Creek which then bor-
dered the lower part of Pennsylvania
avenue near the Capitol Building,
flowed westward, about on line
with our present Constitution ave-
nue.. Regularly with the rains, 1t
backed up and overflowed its banks
westward as far as Fourteenth street.
Coaches Often Mired.
Nor was the upper part OF what
has since become one of the most
famous arteries of transportation
between the executive and legislative
branches of our Government by any
means ideal as highway. The
coaches which attempted to use 1t
were continually being mired up to
their hubs within sight of the Execu-
tive Mansion or Palace as the White
House was then called.

President Jefferson's inauguration,

to form the higher part of Pennsyl-
vania avenue and had been ordered
not to do SO again.
A sidewalk along the northern
length of Pennsylvania avenue was
constructed in part of chips of
stone left over from the construction
work on the Capitol Building.
Under these circumstances, it is
small wonder that Thomas Jeffer-
son, fond of horseback riding as he
was, should have chosen to proceed
by this method to the Capitol.
Adams Left Capital.
Previously, John Adams, the re-
tiring President, whose Vice Presi-
dent Jefferson had been, infuriated
on his defeat had left Washington
mceremoniouSly without doing his
successor the customary courtesy of
witnessing his induction into office.
Apparently too, President Jeffer-
sons second inaugural must have
been quite as lacking in official pomp
and ceremony from the standpoint
OF a parade as was his first. The
diary of secretary of the British
Legation makes this note concerning
the occasion: HE proceeded on
horseback from the Palace, which is
of white stone and the largest resi-
dental building here, and attended
by his secretary and groom rode up
the long avenue of Pennsylvania
to the Capitol, dressed in black and
silk stockings"
The author of the Declaration of
Independence, also made history by
dispatching his inaugural address by
messenger to be read to the Congress
of the United States, rather than
appearing in person to deliver it.
