WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-"DixIe' is a
national air and not the property of the
south alone. according to a declaration
today by Joseph Nimmo, jr. one OF the
few surviving friends of Abraham Lin
coin. Mr.. Nimmo's statement was caused
by a report published here that Presi-
dent Schneider of the Chicago Board of
Education had forbidden the singing Of
Dixie" at the Lincoln centennial.
That Dixie is reasonable 1 am pre-
pared to deny from my personal expert

mand for a speech. 1 well remember his
closing words, which were as follows:
"'There is a song or tune which 1 used
to hear with great pleasure before the
war, but our friends across the river
have appropriated it to their use dur
ing the last four years. 1t is the tune
called Dixie but 1 think we have cap
tured 1t; at any rate l conferred with the
attorney general this morning and he ex-
pressed the opinion that Dixie may fairly
be regarded as captured property. SO 1
shall be glad to hear Dixie by the band
Ever since then Dixie has been re-
garded as a national air, beloved by the
people of the north and OF the south. The
tune of Dixie was composed by Oar
Emmett, a northern man, who wrote the
words and the music. For years, before
the war 1t was sung at the north and at
the south and 1t will remain for all time
a truly national song, made so by the
~good-natured humor of Abraham Lin
