The Old Scngs and the New
Stephen Foster and Ragtime
Music

The modern ragtime music-so- called
may be considered but a temporary
alteration. A few years ago the pop
ular airs were taken from the light
comic operas, or from the sketchy mu-
sic of the vaudeville artist. These have
given way to variations on the plain
tive negro airs of the old south and
will in turn lead to something else
that happens to catch the popular
fancy.
But the simple songs of our faith
ers-the beautiful music and the heart
stirring words will again come into
their own. And when they do the great
American balaldist, Stephen Foster,
will be recognized as one, who. per-
haps more than any other, caught the
spirit of his time, and rendered 1t into
music and words that were sung by
millions of his country men and women.
Foster was born in Pittsburg. Pa,
July 4, 1926, and received his educa-
ton in the public schools. When only
16 years of age he wrote his first
song, while clerking in little store
in Cincinnati. 1t was called open the
Lattice, Love-" and was soon followed
by Uncle Ned"-which at once caught
the popular ear. and was sung all over
the country.
Then came 30, Susanna'-popular
with the minstrel troupes-and for
which he received $500 His "Old Folks
at Home was published In 1S50-and
brought him $500 from the then ia
NOUS Christy Minstrels. For copyrights
Of this song he received, first and last.
nearly $4,000
During his life Foster composed the
words and music to about $50 bal
lads-many of which were translated
and sung in foreign countries-and
which proved him to be by far the
most popular of American song COM
nosers. He died in New York city in
1864, after an eventful and somewhat
adventurous career
Among his most popular productions
were cold Black joe" "Way Down
South" Nellie Was a Lady," "Old Dog
Tray" "Old Kentucky Home" "Old
Folks at Home and Come Where My
Love Lies Dreaming" These touching
and beautiful compositions are all to

4 Great DlfierenCe.

Fifteen years ago, before the
Spanish war. there were 25 regi-
ments Of infantry in the army, all
stationed in the United States.
Since that time five regiments have
been added to the army, but with
these only sixteen are available for
service in this country and around
which an army could be built in a
sudden emergency. Of the infant
ry regiments four are stationed in
the Philippines, six are to be sent
to Hawaii, three to Panama and ore
will remain in Alaska. While the
sixteen regiments may be sufficient
to garrison the different posts where
they are stationed. they are not suf-
6c:ent to form tatical units where
officers may gain experience and
where soldiers may be trained. The
chief of staff of the army has recon-
mended an increase Of two reCi-
ments of infantry and six batteries
of fel Id artillery in order to briog
the military strength up 10 the point
where it will partially meet the re-
quirements of the service. Wash

Unconstitutional, By George.

The sweetest morsel to North Car
olina tongues is the word "uncon-
stitutional." Many reasons there
be for this. 1t fills the mouth com
fortably. Itsounds good. 1t serves
where other excuses fail. 1t is
a safer harbor in times of ;rgu-
! mehtative storm. 1t is ancient and
has prestige. Many of us who
wouldn't recognize the constitution
in broad day light on the public
highway can say constitutional
with all the gusto Of Joe Bailey, who
stood guard over the national ir-
strument in Congress for a quarter
of century. 1t is not surprising
that we should go slow in plotting
eny changes in the good old docu-
ment. But times change and with
the times conditions likewise change.
No Atre r:can constitution was in
tended to shield wrong and when
changing conditions bring this effect
about it is time to change the con-
stitution, not only for the purpose
of correcting the specific wrong,
but for the sake Of the constitution
itself. There may not at any time
be need to tear up the old docu-
ment, but there may often be the
need of repairing it. When that
time comes and is known Of all men,
neither our reverence for the in
strument Eor the fear of change
should stand in the way. The con-
stitutiol needs some repairs, par
ticularly in the matter of it's re-
strictiOns upon taxation. State

No farmer who has never owned

any adequate idea of iti real value

to own and operate one of these ma
chimes. With a spreader it is SO
easy to haul out the manure and
spread the same very evenly all over
the field, and to do so when it ought
to be done, as fast as it is made and
load accumulates and there is q
field ready to receive it. think
more about the value of farmyard

and to accumulate more of it than l

OverGolEg the Baby Act.

It was an excellent point which
Congressman Kitchin made the other
day ct one of the tariff hearings
The ways and means committee was
as usual, listening to the same old
plant that American manufacturers
cannot compete with foreign manu-
facturers without protection because
we pay such high wages in America
AS it happened, it was the cotton
people who were chanting this old
refrain when Mr.. Kitchin brought
them up sharply by calling attention
to the use foreign manufacturers
are right now making, in neutral
markets, Of precisely such state
ments as these American gentlemen
have been making.
AS everybody knows. the cotton
men and other American manufact-
urers do compete largely on equal
terms, in countries like China with
European manufacturers. Yet here
they are declaring their inability to
compete on equal terms for their
own home market. According to
Mr.. Kitchin, their confessions to
this effect are being advertised in
Marchuria and elsewhere as evi-
dence Of the lnferiority Of American
goods when sold as cheaply as Ger
man and other European products.
There is nothing whatever the
matter with such reasoning as en-
ployed by European manufacturers.
If it is true that our manufacturers
must have protection to sell goods
here at home then how can they
possibly sell in Manchuria or South
America products quite equal to
those of European prices equally
low?
Fortunately, there is the fact that
they do compete successfully in such
foreign markets. 1t is fact which
will have to be recognized, not
withstanding their doleful protests
to this and other ways and means
ittees.-Harper's Weekly.
