grown with a rush since it was newly baptized about twelve years ago. Others have suggested fhe name "Wil¬ son," not lu honor of the famous brand of spirits frumenll, but in hon¬ or of the President. Mulrannon has turned down bolh suggestions. He does not like "Rushville" and would not sanction "Wilson." although he is a Democrat and great admirer of the President. He thinks such a selection would give a political coloring to the movement and besides there are a number of "Wilsons" in the United Slates.
Charlie Whltehpuse. who set the rejil estate ^iiachlnery In motion In Uoosevelt, and built the Hrst of its modern homes, does not think a thange of names advisable. He holds ihal if the present name Is such that It i-ignilies strenuosity and aggress¬ iveness, and some people have become tired of U, 'twould be better to let It stand. What Charlie says generally soes In ^^oosevelt without any shout¬ ing from the housetops or blowing of trumpets on his part. So there you ue. folks of Roosevelt.
If the "Mayor" starts his petition, Whitehouse will doubtless be active in igitatlng that "Roosevelt" is a good v-uough name, giving as a strong rea¬ son that the place has prospered under 'I, notwithttandlng the numerous con- (licts over civic matters within the re- rent past and the theft of the famous big stick that the distinguished citizen of Sagamore Hill presented to the 3oaid of Trade.
