Rev. Dr. Reed of Lutheran
Church Deplores Tend
ency to Get Away from
Proper Pronunciation in
Response, to Fails
IU'V. John K. Ile-ed. pastor of the
Oont-ral Lutheran, church in I'hocnix
believes the Knglish language is be
cuiiiin defiled nnt in the adoptiun nf
words from other lansiwuos, but in the
adoption of the pronunciation used by
tile nations of continental Kurope of a
word similarly spelled. lie declares
this to be eatering to the desires of a
few "fjlobe trotters'. Dr. Reed feels
very strongly upon the question, be
lieving in the beauty and the utility of
the Knglish tongue. In rc-ferrins to the
matter to a Republican representative
recently he spoke of the following com
munication which he prepared upon the
subject. Ir. Reed says:
"Kvery native born American, if a
patriot, loves his mother tongue, the
Kimiisli language. And ours is now
the greatest language in the world,
spoken by more of the white race than
any other tongue. The countries that
use Tnglish as the off icial language, and
whore it is spoken by most of the peo
ple, have a population of 150,fi)0,i0n.
"Wo need not go to any foreign coun
try to borrow new forms of speech.
The latest addition to Webster's New
International Dictionary contains, by
actual count, more than 400,000 -words.
This should be enough to suit the taste
of the most fastidious writer or speak
er. Uut some persons, probably be
cause of a lack of knowledge of their
own language, are -seeking new words
ami styles of pronunciation in foreign
pastures. This is the fashion of "globe
t mi tors." and of theological students,
university professors and musicians
who spen, a few months in one of the
capitals of continental Kurope.
"Many of our words are of Latin ori
gin, derived through the Norman-l-'rench,
like the musical name "dande
lion;" but it was stamped with an ICng
iish accent. This is more euphonious
than the original, "dons-loo," formed of
two Latin words. Rut now the pronun
ciation of our mother tongue, in some
quarters, is being defiled by foreign ac
cents, mostly French. Knve-lope is pro
nounced "ongvelope;" prestige is
changed to "pres-tezh," with the accent
on the second syllable; mobile, which is
a pure Latin word, pronounced with a
short "i" and the accent on the first
syllable, takes on a Krench dress and
becomes mohoele when added to th
Oreek name "auto"; and so it goes.
Will the Knglish language become en
tirely Frenchified to suit the perverted
taste of a few "globe trotters" and
hoarding school girls who are study
ing modern languages? If we cannot
pronounce the name automobile with
an anglecized accent, let us drop it for
the Knglish term "motor car", or simply
say "auto."
"The French name depot should
never have been imported to designate
a railway station. As originally used
the word "depot" meant a place for
storing millitary supplies, a warehouse.
If we must use this foreign term, let ns
not say "day-po" but speak it with an
Knglish modulation, "de-po", with the
accent on the first syllable. Rut we have
a better name for a waiting room, that
belongs to our own language, the term
"station." And I am pleased to know
that the word "station" is being more
and more use, in our eastern states.
"How shall we pronounce amen? Al
though of Hebrew origin, this familiar
word iias been for centuries part
of our language with a purely Knglish
accent. In recent years there has been
a growing tendency, on the part of cer
tain classes, to give "amen" the pro
nunciation that is prevalent in conti
nental Kurope. This gives "a" the
same sound as in arm, and it is often
called "Italian a." To avoid repetition,
I shall indicate this pronunciation of
the word by writing it "ahmen." In
the Knglish accent of this term, 'a is
sounded as in aim, and is called in our
speech, "long a."
"In singing we always say "ahmen."
j Rut style in music does not set the
I fashion for pronunciation in speaking.
The Standard dictionary gives only one
marking for the word, that ef "amen."
Webster's International and the Cen
tury both sanction "ahmen," but Rive
the former the preference. When the
Oerman and the Scandinavian clergy
say "ahmen." they are using the ac
cent of their respective countries. This
is proper. I hit they cannot set the
fashion for Knglish speaking; people;
nor have musicians any authority to do
this. Some persons wrongly imagine
1 that ahmen sounds more up-to-date
land classical than the more virile Kng
lish utterance of the word. Rut such
is not the ease; for Knglish is as new,
and yet as classic, as any other speech
under the sun.
"How shall we speak the name of the
metropolis of Missouri? Shall it be St.
Louis, ironounced as it is written or
'St. Loue-e?" I prefer the former, which
is wholly Knglish, rather than the lat
ter which is mongrel, part Knglish and
part French. The proper Krench ac
cent would he "Sang Lonoe," which
will not soon be adopted by the masses.
So with the musical name Ros Angeles.
It is better to give it the purely Kng
lish sound as 'Los-an jel-es," rather
than the mongrel accent in which the
letter "g" has a nasal sound, and the
last syllable some times spoken as
though spelled "leeze." During more
than two years in California, I never
heard hut two persons, both lady school
teachers, give the. proper Spanish pro
nunciation for the name of the city. As
it is difficult for most Americans to
pive this correctly, let us use the Eng
lish accent. Kvery living language is
constantly growing. Rut when we in
corporate foreign words into our
speech, let us anglicise them into our
own style of pronunciation.

A well attended meeting of the
j uut labor organizations for a social

red members of the I'hocnix unions
who were present. The meeting had

trades unions ami businesses and the
welfare ef all locally who are inter
ested in the actions of the I'hocnix
unions. Speeches by the members of
the various 01 ganiza lions, anil one

The reso-
f a com
mittee appointed some weeks ago, for
drawing a resolution relative to trades
and union relations in the city was
then read.
It was a paper with the promotion
d local labor conditions, for the fur
therance of union labor in the city.
t1 for building up thos local in
dustries employing union labor, as its
subject matter, and was adopted by
tile members present unanimously
r pon presentation. It piovided also
or calling a general meeting in the
near future for the purpose of form
ing a Ilome Industry League, and
suggesting hat the press, manufac
turers, producers. i tractors, build
ers and business men of the city co
perate in the movement.
The feature address of the evening,
and one declared to be the best the ex
ponents of organized labor has ever
heard in this city, was that delivered
by John ,T. Mc Rridc, former president
of the American federation of labor,
now a resident of this city. McRride
recommended the get together spirit,
applying the essence of the spirit to the
proposed Home Industrial League, sup
porting that movement as one of the
most advanced which labor can take.
That oh:.rity in relation to labor mat
ters begins at home was one of Mc
Rride' s tenets on which he based many
of the ideas he propounded, and which
he stated was the- foundation of any
get-togethc r movement.
II. A. Campbell, secretary treasurer
of the Arizona state federation of labor
addressed his remarks to the members
of the unions personally, urging them
to get back of the movement now on
foot for raising the $'don with which
the pa merits on the new labor temple
must be met en the first, of the year,
and he showed in the addres the pos
sibilities ownership of the stock of the
temple offers to the union man.
Dave Rickets, president of the. bar
tenders union rendered a vocal solo,
accompanied himself on the piano. Re
side the liiekets number several num
bers by individuals, and by a union
orchestra which was present were scat
tered between the addresses of the ev
ening, serving to lighten the burden of
attention the hearers were called on to
give-.
.1. W. Client, representative of the
printers unino, spoke to the assembly
for several minutes on the present day
important political and economic
movement and their relations to the
several trades organizations. His ad
dress was especially interesting in that
its bowed the weight labor brings to
bear on these epie-st ions.
John J. Corrigan, president of the
bricklayers union and president of the
labor temple association, confined his
remarks to the advance- of labor in the
Friited States and especially in this
city, in the- past five years. He stated
that five years ago labor was repre
sented in this city by one- union, while
there are today active in I'hocnix 17
such organizatirms. The greatest
growth in the unions here he further
stated had been in the past year, in
that time the wejrk having equaled the
work of the four years preceding.
Corrigan drew the attention of the
members to the fact that an organiza
tion meeting of the temple association
will be held tonight, and showed that
the meeting will be one of great- im
portance. The me-eting was presided over by
Prc-sidont Rert Davis, who e-aried it iff
with the best possible order and speed.
It was voted a success by all who were
on hand, anel other- such evenings are
looked forward to by the members of
the assembled unions with anticipation.

A GREATLY DESIRED LADY
It would appear from bits of Un
social gossip of her day that Miss
Rurdet t -Con It's nearest approach to
an ooeupatiem was refusing offers of
marriage. It is stated that the name
f "Prince of Adventurers" was con
nected with hers: that she refused
the Duke; of Wellington and a score
of lesser geritlcme-ri.
For years the great heiress was the
most glittering matrimonial prize in
Kngland. and when at last she con
sented to change ner condition by
marrying an American, a London club
wit struck a responsice chore! by ob
serving: "I don't blame Ashmead
