 "An ordinary man would regard that as a waste of money, wouldn't he?
 Perhaps, but you see he left enough life insurance to make it pos. sible for Rutterworth to get along without working for the rest of his life, and I suppose he feels that he ought in some way to publicly show his appreciation"

After all it looks like the Kelly newspapers had the republican senti ment sized up about right in Arizona Now, we desire to renew our sugges ton that it would be highly proper for the republican territorial conven. ton in Tucson to express gratitude to Senator Foraker for what he ac complished for Arftona in the state. hood fight. This would be all the en- dorsement due from Arizona to Roosevelt and his administration crowd.

use. There is scarcely any room for
doubt that these pre-Christian mu-
sicians had complete musical scale,
which we know now as the Ogham,
named after Ogmss the Apollo Of the
ancient Irish, and an Ogham music
tablature.
The most important change in the
musical system of Ireland was
wrought by the monks who accom-
panied st. Patrick in the year 1872 A.
D. We are told by Archbishop Healy
that st. Patrick taught the sons Of
the bards to chant the psalms of Da-
vid and sing together the sweet music
of the church's hymns"
One of the most interesting facts
connected with Irish music is that
the existing ancient melodies of the
airs of the Hebrews. The biblical
commentators all agree that the mu-
sic of the apostolic age was derived
from the Jewish psalmody.
The apostles themselves adapted"
the salm tunes Of the temple, but, as
the Hebrews had no musical notation,
the synagogal chants and melodies,
which must have been simple, were
handed down additionally. For three
hundred years the chants of the early
Christians were handed down to sue
cessive generations in this manner
and the necessary simplicity prevent
ed any attempt at an ornate service.
The ecclesiastical music continued to
improve until the reign of Theodocius,
when st. Ambrose introduced his cell
ebrated chant, by adopting the east
ern mode of singing into his church
at Milan. A. D. 1856; and this practice
was later on adopted by most of the
congregations of the world, under the
title of the Ambrosian Chant, as we
are informed by st. Augustine.
Introduced by st. Patrick.
The system of psalmody adapted
from the Hebrews by st. Ambrose,
and by him applied to the existing
Oriental modes, was that which was
introduced into Ireland by st. Patrick
and his ecclesiastics.
1t is hardly necessary to enter fur
Their into this subject, as sufficient
examples have been adduced to show
the remarkable coincidence of the
Irish melodies which have come down
to us from past centuries, with the
early ecclestical music, and which
embodies the musical MODES of the
east; and 1t may be concluded by the
internal evidence afforded by this con-
struction and the peculiarly express
sive character Of the airs themselves,
that the primitive simplicity and path
oe of the church music, and the con-
struction and mode of tuning the harp,
have been the principal causes of our
music possessing SO much originality
and expression; to which may be also
added these other characteristic fea-
lures which constitute the physiog-
nomy of the country and give a ma
tional sentiment to the music.

Existing Ancient
Irish Melodies
(By Joseph O,Mara)

Who first introduced music into Ire
land, or when it was first brought
there will forever remain a mystery.
But we do know that from out the
mists of antiquity come echoes telling
US of the high state of culture to
which the Celts brought that art.
With race possessing such high
ly imaginative and emotional nature
as the Irish. 1t must, Of necessity, be
their first faculty" as the Irish poet,
Thomas Davis, aptly describes it. Gen.
turtles upon centuries must elapse be-
fore an art like music can be brought
to perfection or even to high state
OF cultivation in race which lived
isolated from the rest of the world
like the ancient Celts. When our ear
Hest authentic annals, therefore, de-
scribe the wonderful poesy and mu-
steal art Of the periods antedating
Christianity by centuries, we must
conclude that the early Irish were
skilled in music for a thousand years
at least before the coming of st.. Pat
rick. Even before the. Christian era
the bards were held in the highest
esteem by the kings and the people
OF ireland. The great system of law,
which was complete in Ireland and
adequate for every purpose, hundreds
Of years before Ethelbert, king of
Kent, first compiled the few frag-
ments of Saxon law into a code; and
the systems of medicine, poetry and
music were according to Heating, the
historian, "set to music, being poet
ical compositions.
Before Christian Era.
Some of the early Irish chroniclers
wrote OF musicians who fiourished
more than a thousand years before
the Christian era, and which we can
not get any tangible evidence to sup
port their assertions so far as music
and other arts are concerned, recent
scientific Investigations made by as
tronomers and biologists have proven
their accounts OF events, such as
eclipses and ancient settlements to be
absolutely true. We must therefore
give ear to their statements at least.
Several of our most ancient writ
ers agree that the Milesian princes,
Heremon and Heber, brought a cele-
brated poet and harper with them to
ireland, about the year 1000 B. C.
Both wanted the harper, and to settle
the matter they both drew lots. The
musician, Onna Ceanfinn, fell to the
lot of Heber, who settled in the south
ern norton of the island, and Here
mon brought the poet, Cir Mac CHS,
to his home in the north. 1t is an
interesting fact to note that Heber
adopted the harp on blue ground as
his banner, and the insignia has re-
manned until the present day the ma
tional arms of Ireland In heraldry,
The green banner with the golden
harp Is the arms Of the province of
Leinster, where Heber once resigned
as king. ~,

FOR GOOD ROADS.

The plan of pushing the good roads
idea is admirable. The Times has
frequently stated in discussing the adj
vantages Of such things to the COM
munities through which they pass and
the towns which they reach, that no
question or urban polity is more i'm
porant than this. In fact, it hardly
seems necessary at this time to at
tempt TO develop public sentiment
in favor of good roads. That seems
an acc omplished fact. So that the
only questions yet remaining for 60
luton are those Of execution and
methods. The ratio Of the increased
load which can be moved over a good
road bed over poor one is so prac-
teal that the average farmer need
not be told in figures. He uses his
judgment every day in deciding the
weight of the load which a team can
draw over a particular road. He un-
derstands alec that team can draw
no larger load over a road of different
qualities than it can draw over the
worst portion Of that road.
What the farmer and the business
! man who is dependent upon the use
of the public highways for his bust
ness need to consider is what sub
stantial method can be used to make
the roads first class without the cost
being prohibitive. In North Dakota
grades are not an essential element.
All roads are practically level. The
load which can be drawn over them
Is determined by the condition Of the
road bed. If that is earth, the load
must be smaller than II 1t were ma
cadan OF other solid substance. With
limited supply OF stone 1t does not
seem probable that anything except a
di7t road bed Is near possibility.
Attention must then be given to the
best methods Of keeping the dirt bed
in the best condition. This leads Ia
tho consideration OF drainage de-
cldedly important matter-surface
material, including the shaping Of the
surface as we'll as tho use of such
methods as the spit log drag, and the
prevention OF mud holes and similar
troubles. The use Of wide tire, too
has been ono Of tho elementary ques-
tons involved in tho keeping in re-
pair OF dirt roads.
Tho Commercial club has appoint

consider the matter Of good roads

THE AUDITORIUM.

The decision OF the Commercial club
to push the securing OF an auditorium
for the city is among the most i'm
portant undertakings of that body.
There are a number of collateral
problems to be solved at the same
time, but these will merely add to the
general plan OF building an audi
forum. Among these collateral is
sues is the organization OF a company
Of the North Dakota National Guard.
The auditorium which would serve
the purposes Of the city. would also
serve the purpose OF an armory for
a military company SO that the efforts
of those who are primarily interested
in securing such an Improvement for
the city and the efforts of those who
are interested in seeing Grand Forks
on the military map are coincident.
There is no reason in the world
why this city can not maintain one Of
the finest military organizations in
the state. There are more than a full
quote of young men in the city who
possess the highest elements of tho
soldier and who would be delighted
to join the organization. The discip-
line, the splendid bearing developed,
the opportunities offered and the
pleasure in presenting the best to the
public would richly compensate for
the labor. There is abundant latent
military ability in the city to officer a
company With efficiency.
The construction OF the auditorium
and armory combined would solve one
OF the other troubles which the city
must experience until remedied.
When large crowds attend any public
meeting In the city, such as the splen-
did location, transportation facilities
and the city's proverbial hospitality
justify, there is no place to accom-
MEDIATE them. This was demonstrated
in the visit OF Judge Taft to the city
during the campaign when three meet
tngs we're necessary to accommodate
the enormous crowds. True no one
building could have done it. But such
a one as Is now proposed would have
come nearer serving the purpose than
any other arrangement.
Does the city need such a building?
AZ civic business proposition 1t
does. Aside from civic pride and the
spirit Of progress with which the air
10 charged, It is one Of the imperative
Improvements. The city has Develop
ed number of things beyond it's pres
ent capacity. The musical gatherings
tho greatest in the m1dwest-haye
become fixities. They are a part Of
the musical life OF which the city Is

the centre. They are growing In i'm
portance every year and attracted by
the unparalleled merit of these classic
productions, the crowds coming to
hear them will become larger In a
geometric ratio. These crowds must
be provided for. The auditorium will
do It,
With the numberless organizations
, which now exist in the state and those
with which the state is affiliated, there
must necessarily be a large number
of annual gatherings of these organ
/ izations. In the state the matter of
accommodation for those in attend
ance is a paramount one. They do
not often go to places whore the hotel
accommodations will be So taxed that
those In attendance must suffer all
sorts of inconvenience. Those who
attend want pleasure and comfort.
Grand Forks has everything that
could be asked of an ideal conven-
ton city except meeting place. 1t
has that when the attendance is not
too large, but for such gatherings as
1t would have under the conditions
proposed. ii needs just such a build
ing as an auditorium.
Columns could be used to specify
the uses to which 1t could be put in
civic way, while hundreds of others
not now thought of would be found
were the building a fact.
