Breaking The Donkey's Back
Southern Scribe.

Southern Scribe.
Judging from the tenor of the
Louisiana press, Governor Senator
Jared Y. Sanders has done, aud is
doing more to disrupt the demo-
cratic party than any single man
has ever attempted.
People begin to ask: What is a
democrat? Is he a man who be-
lieves in political chicanery, in
aulocratic government, in self-ag-
grandizement by fair means or
foul? And the answer is fairly
uniform.
Governor Sanders made the fla
grant mistake i'll thinking that the
people of Louisiana are all fools
There is not a voter but knows
that the primary election law was
enrolled for the very purpose of
preventing what the late legisla-
ture did when it elected him as
United States Senator. The cleo
ton was lawless, since it was
against the letter and spirit of the
law. 1t made the governors ac-
ceptance lawless act. Not few.
but very great majority of the
voters are opposed to having the
lawmakers turn into lawbrsakers,
aud to having the executive, the
man at the head of the administra-
ton, sworn to see the laws enfor-
ced, approve and profit by a law
less act.
If he and his abettors persist in
the course they have entered upon,
or if he attempts to save his face"
by presenting himself as a candi-
date at the eleventh hour before
election, there will be an open
rupture in the party, and the men
resonsible Tor the split, will be
drummed out of it.
That is what the prevailing OPT
MON among the Louisiana papers
threatens, and it is no idle menace.
Il am Democrat" has lost it's
charm as au ipse dirt. People
will want to know what a demo-
crat is or what the candidate un-
derstands by it.
The chances are that candidates
for Congress will have a hard timp.
Speeches that aroused enthusiasm
forty years ago, will not do in this
year of grace nineteen hundred
and ten, and in the year of His
Excellency Governor-Senator elect
Jared Y. Sanders.

who neither looks up to the rich
or down to the poor; who can lose

women, children aud old people,
who is too brave to lie, too gener-

Another of my most popular songs " Kiss Me

To go to the heart it had to come from the heart.

bordering with me; but flashed out faster than the
notes could be put down on paper. 1t seemed to
have been waiting always for just that moment in
which to speak.
The strange thing, at least to me, about the popu

bars. As rule people want short things. The folk

That which makes song popular is really happy
wedding OF the words with the music becoming
unity it strikes the popular fancy forciby that
1t may finally become folk song.
That song to be popular must be unique is hard
to say. but this much is certain the melody needs
to be sufficiently haunting in quality to fix itself
firmly in the very first hearing that it remains
there. and this melody must be combined with
rhythmic originality and charm.
All airs that strik the popular taste. if they
not sentimental ones, very strongly marked IN
rhythm; that is the swing of them captures the
Just fully does the melody. As examples of this
take the marches of Sousa-and none has written
marches of charm and variety equal to his.
Even the cheap stuff that is written by what we
call " one finger composers. who painfully pick out
the melody ringing in their and then have some
poor German take it down paper for them has
sometimes remarkable facility in striking the fancy
of those whose taste is undeveloped, and that too
forcbly than the highly educated musician
do.
The deeper reason for this is that our musical edu-
cation is oftener only skin deep; for people
really and truly love the higher type of music than
really and truly love philosophy. The great prevail
ing taste is medium between the lowest and the
highest.
We love only people whom know thoroughly;
we love only things that genuinely understand.
This perfectly natural in music it is in every
thing else in the world.
Unfortunately there is with many great deal of
posing in their professed enthusiastic admiration of

THE POPULAR SONG

song. Anything beyond that. for instance song
of three sections is regarded something very
complicated for the popular to catch for it is
looked upon the most difficult and highest type
of folk song.
In tracing the folk song. the old popular song of
the people, have found this and many historians
and deep research bear out: the Scots and
Welsh most Of their music to Ireland.
The Irish, even in Caesars time. had musical
theory, and their instrument, perfect any but
the most modern small harp, tuned and of high
efficiency, effective.
Their bards were their most favored people, hav-
ing no military duty or taxes to pay, and Cesar him
self with more humor than is generally understood
wrote of their vocation as being in consequence
ceedingly popular.
Love, valor, w.t. the emblem every Irishman's
breastplate, their theme. Every King had his
bards to sing of his royal gores and those of his
cestors.
Presently, growing very numerous, these minstrels
forced to wander forth into the fields that
Wales and Scotland afforded. And there grew with
this influx fresh and glowing impetus, giving to
Wales and Scotland many beautiful folk song they
claim national. though in reality it of
Irish origin.
Passing of the Folk Song
A CURIOUS thing in regard to the popular song
is the that is forcing the regular folk song
aside, in Europe. and that is the popular song
of the stage played by orchestras and put
mechanical machines. This situation proves more
notable in Europe. the home of the folk song than
here.
In America we have comparatively few folk songs.
Our composers young musical souls not filled
from childhood with the folk melodies that their
foreign colleagues hear in Europe from the cradle.
But in Europe the folk song is no longer recev
ing fresh contributions.
l should say that with the complete disappearance
of the minstrel and the country fiddler stage of
musical romance went out of existence.
n there
the greater romance of the troubadour, whether he
knight only poor fellow with guitar on
his back, wandering and singing in castle cottage
With the vanishing of that romantic epoch came in
way the disappearance of the folk
song. The big cities afforded
