ois and Ohio, made as many pipe or
gans but OF far smaller average
value. The church and concert or,
gans that come out of Massachusetts
workshops averaged about $500
each, while the average for the whole
country was only 5000.
Behind the making OF these pipe
organs in the Bay State there is a
long line of trade traditions dating
from the first American church organ
built in Boston in l7+5 by Edward
Bromheld Jr. This man, only an
amateur at the business, planned an
instrument OF 1900 pipes but. dying

To guide the efforts OF the earliest
American organ builders good mod
els were already at hand Pipe or
gans-"boxes OF whistles as the
Scotch called them-were brought to
these shores long before they were
made here. AT Portsmouth, New
Hampshire, is still played the oldest
church organ in the United States,
one that was imported from England
in l708 by Hon. Thomas Brattle, a
noted citizen OF Boston and one OF
the founders OF the Brattle St.
Church. 1t was left at his death in
1913 to the church bearing his name
with the condition that If this Puri-
tan body did not accept it, the instru-
ment was to go to Kings Chapel,
then representing heChurch OF Eng
land in New England.
Brattle Street politely but firmly
refused it, and the organ was install

BOSTON, Feb. q Uncle Sans
bulletin on the manufacture OF mus
ical instruments, just out, shows that
the largest and most expensive and
most perfect OF all instruments for
the production of harmony, the pipe
organ, is peculiarly product OF Mas
sachuSetts.
The continued supremacy OF the
old Bay State in this department OF
instrument making, which, OF course,
particularly concerns the churches OF
every American city, is right in line
with the traditions of American mus
ical history. Pipe organs were intro
duced for the first time in North
America at Boston, and, as was the
way in colonial times, vigorously
opposed, since there was still large
debate among Puritans as to whether
music was of God or OF the Devil
The running fight that lasted for a
century or more in communities OF
New England and the Middle States
as to whether the church organ might
or might not be properly used in wor-
ship seemed somehow to be based on
such misconceptions as that OF the
worthy mechanic who complained TO
a Scotch clergyman, Il have no objec-
ton to the organ, but / understand
whenever the organ is brought in
there is to be an attack made on the
doctrine of the atonement." As late
as 1862 a subject for public discus
sion at Harvard College Commence
ment was Does music promote sal
vation" and although the matter was
decided in the affirmative the decision
was not reached without much bitter
ness OF spirit.
Despite-or perhaps because Of
intensity of the feelings engendered
by such arguments the leadership in
the manufacture of pipe organs seems
to have been preserved by the New
England capital from early days
down to now when, in the year 1905,
according to the census bulletin just
cited, 1877 pipe organs were construct
ed in Massachusetts, nearly all OF

measure up with the demand made
by the candidate, although both were
willing to give their services to Mr..
Bryan in any capacity he desired.
Mr.. Wade suggested Mr.. Mack, also
member of the subcommittee and
it was generally believed that he did
so at the suggestion of Mr.. Bryan.
The Nebraskan fell in with the sug-
gestion and in spite of the fact that
Mr.. Mack disclaimed any desire for
the honor and declared that there are
many others especially fitted for the
management of the campaign Mr..
Bryan urged the appointment upon
Mr.. Mack. The Democratic presiden-

wide acquaintance and the fact that

perience he measured up to all of the

CONFERENCE IS +.
HELD AT CHICAGO
Hitchcock Meets Republican
Leaders Of Middle West.

Chicago, July The second con.
ference between Frank H. Hitchcock,
chairman of the Republican national
committee, and various state Repub-
lican leaders was held at the Audi
forum Annex. The states represent
ed at this meeting were Illinois, Indi-
ana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Min
nesota, Missouri and Wisconsin. The
national committeeman from Illinois,
Minnesota, Indiana and Michigan were
unable to come at this time because
of the short notice given them of the
meeting. 1t is expected that as re-
suit another general conference will
be held here soon after the headquar-
tiers are opened on Aug. Is. The mem

Messrs. r. E. Hart, Iowa; A. R. Burn
ham, Kentucky: Charles Nagel, Mis-
souri,, and Alfred T. Rogers, Wiscon-
sin. All of the state chairmen and
most of the state secretaries invited
were present. Instructions were given
for the preparation of a poll of voters
of each state, giving necessary data
as to the nativity, religion, politics
and other important facts in relation
to every man. The system to be fol-
lowed in gathering this information
was adopted at the Colorado Springs
conference and is based upon a
method that has been employed for
several years in Nebraska by William
Hayward, chairman of the Republican
state committee. Mr.. Hitchcock places
great dependence upon this character
of information. At the conference Mr..
Hitchcock submitted to his political
colleagues the list of the new execu-
tive committee so far as it has been
made up, but no time has been fixed
to announce the appointments.

E. ]. Holler has disposed of the
Littlefork Times to Geo. Scarlett,
who has already assumed control,
Chas. S. Jameson, the nestor of
Koochiching county journalism,
occupying the editorial chair. The
policy of the paper will be con-
tinued as under the management

that it will maintain that standard
of excellence for which it has been
so we'll known during the past two
years. We welcome both Mr.. Scar

It is the intention of Mr.. Holler
to withdraw from newspaper work
for period and give his time and
attention to the real estate business,

engaged. He has also announced
his candidacy for the republican
domination of Judge of Probate at
