MISSOURI'S PROGRAM FOR HIGHWAY HISTORIC MARKING, 1955-1957 DIRECTED BY FLOYD C SHOEMAKER* INSCRIPTIONS BY RUBY M. ROBINS** PART II Under Missouri's highway historic marker program, organized in 1951, the State Historical Society of Missouri selects the site to be marked, buys the marker, and supplies the inscription, while the State Highway Commission selects and prepares a location for the marker, installs it, and maintains both the marker and the location. The first series of articles on the marker program appeared in the January, April, and July, 1955, issues of the Review and the second series in the April, July, and October, 1957, issues. These articles reported the history and organization of Missouri's program and also reproduced the inscriptions on the 52 markers completed by the close of 1955. Markers completed during 1955-1957 are: Bagnell Dam, Bowling Green, Canton, Caruthersville, Doniphan, Edina, Eminence, Fredericktown, Galena, Glasgow, Kennett, Keytesville, Kingston, Lamar, Lancaster, Marble Hill, Maryville, Moberly, Montgomery County, New London, Richmond, Rock Port, Salem, Sedalia, Troy, Warrensburg, Warsaw, and Washington. The inscriptions on the first seven of these markers were published in the April Review, and this installment carries the inscriptions of seven more. Carried at the bottom of each side of the marker, but not re­ produced here, is the information, "Erected by State Historical Society and State Highway Commission, 1957." A line is used here to separate the two sides of the inscription. *Floyd C.

Commissioners T. F. Tong, Joseph Bennett, James Dotson, John Burditt, and Henry Whitener chose it as the seat of Madison County, organized, 1818. The town name, according to a tradition, is for pioneer George Frederick Bollinger, and the county name honors the U. S. President. Historical continuity in the area begins with 1715 when La Mothe Cadillac, French Gov. of Louisiana, seeking silver, found lead at nearby Mine La Motte. Philip Renault opened the mine, 1723, and transient miners oper­ ated there throughout the 1700's. First permanent settlement be­ gan in 1799 when French-Cana­ dians founded St. Michael, now a part of Fredericktown, on a Spanish grant, and Americans took up land in the county. The Battle of Frederick- town, a Civil War engagement, occurred near here, Oct. 21, 1861. Some 2,000 pro-Southern State Guards led by Col. M. m Jeff Thompson, attempting to Massie—Mo. Res.

    Journal of Literature, Languages and Linguistics www.iiste.org ISSN 2422-8435 An International Peer-reviewed Journal Vol.46, 2018 Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn as Anti Racist Novel Ass.Lecturer Fahmi Salim Hameed Imam Kadhim college for Islamic science university, Baghdad , Iraq "Man is the only Slave. And he is the only animal who enslaves. He has always been a slave in one form or another, and has always held other slaves in bondage under him in one way or another.” - Mark Twain Abstract Mark Twain, the American author and satirist well known for his novels Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer , grew up in Missouri, which is a slave state and which later provided the setting for a couple of his novels. Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn are the two most well-known characters among American readers that Mark Twain created. As a matter of fact, they are the most renowned pair in all of American literature. Twain’s father worked as a judge by profession, but he also worked in slave-trade sometimes. His uncle, John Quarles, owned 20 slaves; so from quite an early age, Twain grew up witnessing the practice of slave-trade whenever he spent summer vacations at his uncle's house. Many of his readers and critics have argued on his being a racist. Some call him an “Unexcusebale racist” and some say that Twain is no where even close to being a racist. Growing up in the times of slave trade, Twain had witnessed a lot of brutality and violence towards the African slaves.

  • Truman's First Nomination for Senator
    TRUMAN’S FIRST NOMINATION FOR SENATOR WAS STOLEN By EWING YOUNG MITCHELL Former Assistant Secretary of Commerce (In New Deal Little Cabinet, 1933-1935) The first nomination for United States Senator of Harry S. Truman was stolen. This has never been denied. It cannot be successfully denied as the election figures given below clearly prove. Truman was first nominated for United States Senator in the Missouri primary in August, 1934. At that time Jackson County, Missouri, including Kansas City, was in the clutches of the Pendergast democratic machine, the most corrupt, the most brazen, gang of thieves who ever looted an American city. Its power was derived from complete control of the elections held in Kansas City and Jackson County. The machine’s control extended not only to all offices in the city and county, and the millions of dollars spent by them annually, but into the economic life of the community as well. It had several corporations through which it transacted a tremendous amount of business, including The Ready Mixed Concrete Company, Midwest Paving Company, Midwest Pre- cote Company, Midwest Asphalt & Material Company, a fire insurance company, a wholesale liquor company, an oil company and a soft drink company, to mention only some of them. The Machine Forced Its Wares On The People No citizen was allowed to use anything built of concrete not bought of the Ready Mixed Concrete Company. A house built of other concrete was closed by city inspectors and its use refused to its owner. The owner of a lot desiring to build an oil station could not get a building permit from the city council until his tenant had signed an agreement with the Pendergast oil company to buy all his oil and gas from it as long as he was in business.

Could there be painting without paint? Oropallo answered with a resounding yes. Pioneering new techniques, she created a hybrid form whose look owed little or nothing to photographers and graphic designers, the technology's early adopters. For the record: Oropallo has never gone all the way digital. Heroine, her latest series, includes plenty of actual brush strokes. She applies them to soft-porn photos culled from the Internet, which she electronically transforms into fantastical, dangerous protagonists. Like those in prior series, which featured costumed, bandaged women modeling gas masks and scantily clad rodeo queens gyrating like transparent sex ghosts, the source images for this body of work are repurposed to accommodate Oropallo’s interest in placing female superheroes in post-feminist stances – flaunting their sex appeal and their power. What's diferent this time around is that some of them become victims of the sort that fairy tales warn little girls against. As in all such stories, the real subject is power, and in this series, where the subjects are female fencers, it cuts in several directions. While some of Oropallo's characters stand defiantly and strike contemplative or come-hither poses, others lay sprawled on the ground as if mortally wounded.

  • December 1969
    • The phrase, "From the River to Rome," defines the geographical range apparent in the contents of this issue of the magazine. Initial focus is on St. Charles as the home of The Lindenwood Colleges, the historic city which celebrated this year the 2QOth anni­ versary of its founding. A photograph on the inside back cover, showing a January-term class studying art and my­ thology in Rome, dramatizes Lindenwood's reach from St. Charles to the campus of the world. Yet in addition to the geographical, the magazine empha­ sizes another dimension of Lindenwood: that of time. The front cover, combining a modernistic outdoor light at the New Fine Arts Building with a page from the 1828 diary of Lindenwood's co­ founder, George C. Sibley, symbolizes the historic past complement­ ing the dynamic present. How Lindenwood has built on tradition to spearhead programs in private education in the Sixties is evident from pages 2 through 48. Certain articles illmninating the old and the new, the near and the far should be of special interest. "The Possible Dream," beginning on page 7, is the most recent investigation of Lindenwood's history; "The Ghosts of Lin­ denwood" sheds light on some of the renowned dead in the campus cemetery. Companion stories, which almost shatter the generation gap, reveal the Now Generation's reaction to a 72-year-old student in the dormitory, while the lady in question proves that a senior citizen, like any other minority, can .Bnd happiness on this open campus. Then there is a photo essay capturing the exuberance that attended the opening of the New Fine Arts building.

    In 1925, eight actors were dedicated to a dream. Expatriated from their Broadway haunts by constant film commitments, they wanted to form a club here in Hollywood; a private place of rendezvous, where they could fraternize at any time. Their first organizational powwow was held at the home of Robert Edeson on April 19th. ”This shall be a theatrical club of love, loy- alty, and laughter!” finalized Edeson.
