CRITICS TAKE ISSUE WITH
ROOSEVELT ON AMERICAN MUSIC

~ HE distinguished editor Of Must
cal America says in the last is
sue Of his paper:
In recent address delivered
by President Roosevelt to some colored
students from the Manassas Industrial
institute, he told his hearers that there
are but two chances for the develop
ment of schools of American music and
OF American singing, and thes will
come, one from the colored people and
one from the vanishing Indian folk, es-
pecially those of the southwest"
MIR. Roosevelt who, like the kaiser. is
a jack of all trades. did not speak from
personal observation or knowledge. He
based his remarks upon information
furnished to him by some unknown
French literary man. Without desiring
to belittle the value Of the presidents
remarks or the knowledge OF his in
formant, It may be stated that neither
talked authoritatively, to say the least
The so-called negro melodies, even II
they be original with the colored race,
cannot be considered as American, for
the negro is product OF Africa, and
not OF America. Leaving this aside,
negro melody can never be expressive
of the larger intellectually, the wider
usefulness and the greater sensltiveness

of the white man, Negro melody is Of
tentmes melodious aud descriptive Of
the careless-happy- go-lucky existence
of the average negro, who Is perfectly
happy and contented II he but have a
dollar In his clothes and a square meal
In his stomach. How such a melody
could be representative Of the white
man. with his higher aspirations and
his loftier mentality, Mr.. Roosevelt has
not explained, and probably could not
IL he would.
So far as the Indian melody Is con-
cerned It is very much akin 10 the ca
cophony Of the Chinese school Of music,
and while II may be representative OF
the only real Americans In existence,
1t H. again not the music Of the white
man,
The music OF the American viii come
from the American himself-the man
or woman IN whose veins are blended
the hot blood of the Latin races, the
cooling strain OF the Morse, with the
vivaciousness of the Gallo tempera-
ment ana the musiCianly scholarship OF
the Teutou and Anglo-SaNon. Il Is
from this nglomeration Of blood that
our music viii spring, and the day Is
not far distant when the great Amer
lean composer will arrive, FOR there Is
a demand for his genius which must
be answered. and will be- for when
there Is need for really great man he
invariably appears to fultl his destiny
