pHONoGRAPH AND VOICE.

John Philip SOusa. baudmaster. talked
interestingly the other day before the
Joint congressional committee on print
ing. Mr.. Sousa was present to make an
argument in favor of the passage Of an
act TO prohibit the reproduction Of
copyrighted musical works without the
consent Of the composer. Incidentally
he denounced the talking machine. de-
scribing il as the destroyer Of musical
culture. Mr. sousa said the talking
machine people had pirated many of
his compositions and that ne had not
received a cent for them. But it was to
Mr.. Sousa's theory that the phono-
graph had destroyed musical initiative
that the committee listened most
closely.
Il tell YOU the human voice is not
heard as it used to be" said the band
master, and I prophesy that the vocal
cords may become useless for singing
by this disuse. Last summer 1 was in
one of the largest harbors. which was
filled with yachts went among
them Was there the old-time sing
ing? No, il was nothing but the phon-
ogTaDh. When ] was a boy it was the
custom for the young folks to sit on
the steps and porches in the evenings
and sing the old songs and the songs of
the day But you don't hear those
songs any more. Go along the street
in the evening-it is nothing but the
phOnOgTaph."
Senator Smoot a, -ording to a dis
patch, wanted to know If Mr.. Sousa
didn't think the decline in singing
among young people was brought about
by the fact that people generally do not
live as close to nature as they once did.
Sousa could see nothing in that theory.
He persisted in laying all the blame on
the monograph. Really there is much
to be said on both sides OF the argu-
ment. Many people regard the pho9o-
graph as On unmitigated nuisance.
while others get from it almost their
only musical entertainment.
There is no doubt that the phono-
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-06-13

graph has served and Is serving a use
ful purpose. There is no more innocent
fora OF amusement nor is there an
easier way OF acquiring a taste for
good music, We doubt very much that
the monograph has stifled the love
for Staging The trouble with SOusa
is that he spends practically all of his
time now In the larger cities. 1t is not
now and never has been the custom for
young people i'm large cities to sit on
front steps and porches and sing. Let
him so cut 10 the country and he'll
hear the songs Just as he used to hear
them when he was a boy
And the photograph is helpful, rather
than harmful, TO the professional must
clans, Sousa's selections played on
monographs have made his name
known where it would never have been
known had the monograph never been
invented So it is with vocaIists and
instrumentalists Of renown. And it
may be set down as a certainty that
those who have heard from a phOno-
graph selections by famous stars will
never miss a favorable opportunity to
hear those stars in the flesh.

THE MAIN STREET PETITION.

The petition of Main street business
men 10 the city authorities for a bet
ter sprinkling system on the street is
entirely reasonable. and there should
be no occasion for such a request
Apart from the discomfort Of the peo-
pie who have to endure dust and dirt
the damage to stocks of goods from
Aying dust is enough to call for prompt
compliance with the request and an
immediate shaking up in the street de-
partment if it fails to remedy the evil
complained Of
While the subject is up, it may be
as we'll for the street department or
some other department to take cogni-
zance of the condition Of the paving
in the street. Regular "chuckholes' in
the asphalt on the principal thorough
fare Of the city could hardly be posi-
BILE in any other city of its size in
America; and it could hardly be posi-
bic here under any other administra-
ton. Like other necessary improve
ments, the repairs to street pavements
have been sidetracked for lack of funds
because those funds are needed for ex-
ira salaries and superfluous employees.
It viii be worth watching to see
whether the pressure of a petition from
the business houses of Main street can
accomplish a reform in the sprinkling
and cleaning work. Nothing else has
had any effect. and if this plan works
il will be tried in other directions.
