WILL PRESERVE SONGS OF RED.
MAN FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

Bismarck, N. D.. July 31.-Harold A.
Loring of Portland, Me- Is in Bis
marck, after a visit to Standing Rock
reservation. where he has been re-
cording and preserving the aboriginal
music of the North American Indian.
Some years, ago Mr.. Loring spent
stwo years at this work. under the
auspices of the government. He re-
signed in order to give lecture recit-.
ais throughout the nation on the re-
suits of his Investigations. He is
spending this summer on the various
reservations throughout the west I'M
der private auspices, in order to com
plete records partially obtained pre-
viously. Also to gain new material.
During the college year he, is dean
Of music at Southland seminary, st.
Petersburg, Fla, one of the largest in
stitutions Of the south.
At first records were made by the
{ aid of the photograph, but this was
found in 10 many cases to be imprac-
ticable that Loring now depends al
most entirely upon noting down the
music on paer and then verifying this
notation by having the songs repeated.
while the music of the various
tribes differs in some respects, yet
there are certain characteristics COM
mon In all Indian music he said.
Among these may be mentioned the
tendency of all the songs to be in u
minor mode. Also the peculiar rhyth-
mic beat of the tom toms or drums,
these being the only instrume-'- used.
In the history Of the usicrof the en-
tire world, the human voice was the
first instrument to be used and this
was soon followed by a few barbaric
Instruments of percussion. Further
than which the Indian has never pro-
crossed.
Tn recording these native songs,
Mr.. Loring makes every effort to pro-
cure the authentic history Of each
song. ash also the complete words in
the native language. The Indians sing
the melody only. But while singing
the melody they inwardly feel ar ex-
act characterization. BY long and ar
duous experiments, Mr.. Loring has
been able to find just what harmonies
are inwardly felt and heard by the In
dian as he sings the melody.
when these songs are published.
there will be given a voice part to be
accompanied on the piano by an ar
Indian feels, while singing the melody.
One who has not lived among the In
dams themselves can scarcely imagine
the important part that music used to
play in the everyday life of the In
dian. at~
There was, scarcely an event, how
ever great or small, but had its par
ticular song. At night around the
tepee fire the old man taught these
songs with great accuracy to the
children and it is doubtless true that
most of these songs have been handed

down from generation to generation
with unfailing accuracy. Some of the
songs in current use were probably
sung a thousand years ago, exactly as
sung today.
Always Accurate.
''The inaccurate singing of these
songs has always been the cause for
ridicIle. on the part of the older In
dams. Ridicule is one of the things
an Indian cannot stand. so for this
reason, the younger members of the
tribes have been careful either to
sing the songs with accuracy or not
at ALL"
Visit Other Indians.
Mr.. Loring expects to go from Bis
marck among the Sioux in South Da-
kota, and then among the Blackfeet
of Montana. He will then have to
return east for the college year. but
will again take UP the, work early
next June. ~ 80
Overeame Suspicion. e
At first the Indians could not I'm
derstand the object of this work and
were very suspicious and unwilling
to lendS their aid. but after making
personal friends among them, Mr.. Lo-
ring could explain that he had come
to be the pencil in the hand Of the
Indian and to p~erpetuate their songs
not only for the whites, but for their
own children, ..E & ,...
Has Studied Tongues.
He has made a thorough study of
the Dakota tongue and of the sign
language and has thus come into
close contact with the prominent man
of the tribe and has made personal
friends of them. He has thus gained
their affections and now finds them
not only willing, but anxious, to aid
in this important matter of preserV-
ing their songs and thus their his
tory for future generations.
Typical Example.
Mr.. Loring wrote out the rough
melody of a typical Sioux song for
The Tribune, which follows below.
This is typical of the average Indl-
an melody.
Mr.. Loring makes no effort to ideal
ize these songs, but preserves them
in their entire crudity, retaining all
of their aboriginal characteristics.
His sole, object is to acquaint the peo-
pie with the beauties of the Indian
song exactly as they exist. The song
given is called, "Cante Mezica -Ce,"
which translated means: e..
"MY HEART is SAD" y
My heart is sad.

BANGS ON
WITNESS STAND

Grand. Forks, N. D., July 31.-Tracy
r. Bangs appeared as a witness before
the grand jury which is investigating
the alleged bribery of jurors in the
McLafn Cooper murder trial.
Mr.. Bangs acted as counsel for Nc
Lain Cooper during his trial; and when
the bribery charges were first made
public last April, was charged with
having been implicated in the alleged
crime. ~. - 4Ls, aL'3 - II
The charge against him was. how
ever, dismissed by Judge Phil Nc
Loughlin in the former preliminary
hearing: At that time~h e did not take
the stand in his own behalf. g.,
The action of Mr.. Bangs in taking
the stand at this time in his own be-
half is the second surprise of the pres
ent probe, the first having been the
appearance of Richard Bruyere, and
John Stevens, jurors, who were charg-
ed with receiving brides, on the wit
ness stand Wednesday. -.@
