FARMER A POWER,
/ SAYS Mr. NELSON
Senior Minnesota Senator Makes
a Strong Address to Open
the Fair.

i + ~ : 81 =
Senator Nelson's address opening
the state fair this forenoon was in
full as follows:
Farmers and Fellow Citizens: Assembled
as we are today in the midst of these nu-
merous and magnificent exhibits of the
farm and factory, it may not be amiss or
out OF place for brief moment and at
the threshold to take a. view beyond these
things and glance at the growth and prog
ress of the great and immense country
of which we are a part, for it is because
we are a part and parcel of such coun-
try that we are enabled to make such
wonderful and instructive exhibits.
Could the early settlers, who first land
| ed on the Atlantic seaboard, have peered
over the Allegheny mountains into the fer
tile valleys and plains Of the Ohio and the
Mississippi it is not likely they would
have long fingered on the seaboard.
| But what they first saw, with the spirit
of a Gagged bird let loose, they embraced,
appropriated and made their own. Their
struggles to subdue the forests, to clear
homes for themselves, and in the mean
time to repress the savages, and finally
to secure their personal and political in
dependence, were intense, hard and heroic
more SO than, has fallen to the lot Of
subsequent generations Of our people.
These struggles Injured them to ALI Kinds
Of physical and moral hardships and bred
/ in them a moral and intellectual stamina
and greatness unparalleled, and which be-
came the groundwork and motive power. Of
the republic which they created and es-

HARMONIOUS GATHERING
Alabama Republicans Will Likely In
strue. for Roosevelt Today

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
BIRMINGHAM. Ala, May 1O.-Pros-
poets were bright for a harmonious
gathering when the republican state
convention was called to order here at
noon today. The convention will se-
Tect delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton and nominate state ticket. and
the sessions may be prolonged for sew
eral days.
1t was thought some time ago that
the Lilly Whites" who are opposed to
the Roosevelt administration and have
heretofore been in control of the party
machinery. would attempt to make
trouble in the convention. But when
the so-called Black and Tan element
succeeded in gaining control of affairs
the Lily Whites accepted defeat grace
fully and 1t Is believed that the plans
to have the state convention come out
strongly for Roosevelt and to have the
Alabama delegates instructed to vote
for his denomination will go through
the state convention without much Diff
hculty.

IN MEMORY OF
HYMN WRITER
Concert Held in London for

De, 0 lShile

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
LONDON. May 10-Mme Clara Butt
and number of other we'll known art
lists contributed their services to a con-
cert held at Grosvenor house today, the
proceeds of which will go toward the
rebuilding OF the parish church of
Lower Brixham. Devonshire, which was
begun thirty years ago in memory Of
the author Of the celebrated hymn
abide With Me" The author was the
Rev Francis Lyle. who labored among
the fishermen for twenty-five years, re-
fusing all preferment though he was
gifted preacher and writer At the age
of fifty four he found himself doomed
to die Of consumption, and in sorrow
at leaving his work unfinished he
prayed that it might be granted to him
to write something which might live
to the glory of God when he was dead.
The result was the world-famous
hymn "Abide With Me-" written in the
sunset OF the last evening he ever
spent at Brixham and after his last
sermon to his flock. He died at Nice
a month later.

Wieids Bow With Juggling Movement.
Harper's Magazine: There ia hidden
anon the mountains of Kentucky,
tennessee and the CaTolinas a people
OF whose inner nature and its musical
expression limos nothing has been
said. The music Of the southern noun
taineer is not peculiar. but like him
self. peculiarly American.
Nearly all the m%ountaineers are sing
ers. Their unframed voices are of good
tmore, the Women's being sweet and
hlgn and tremulous, and their sense
OF pitch and ton and harmony re-
markedly true. The fiddler or the
banjo player is well treated and be-
loved among them, like the minstrel Of
feudal days.
The mountain fiddler rarely cuddles
his instrument under his chin. He sets
1t against the middle OF his chest, and,
grasping his bow near the middle,
Yields 1t with a juggling movement
quite unlike the long sweep of the ac-
,complished %violinIst's bow arm. 1t IS
sometimes complained that their play
ing Is too rapid and jerky, but the
tunes are composed for his tempo, and
no other would be found suitable.
Prominent among the elements of this
music Is that the leading American
characteristic, humor; not the spark
ling with Of the French, nor the broad,
clumsy J~ollitCation Of the TeIton. nor
sarcasm nor irony, but the keen whole
some freakish American love Of a
laugh; II 1t pervades directly or in
directly almost every line. The music,
too, while usually minor, is not of a
p~laintive tendency: there are few
laments, no sobbing and wailing. In
this 1t differs radically from that of
the savage peoples. Neither has it any
martial threb or clang. 1t is reflective,
meditative, with a vein of genial and
sunny philosophy; the tunes chuckle,
not merrily, but in amused contempla-
fion.
