moreover, one of gray and uneventful
life, like so many another. woman,

DIXIE.
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1914, by Frank Crane.)

Dixie is the best liked tune in the
United States.
Audiences that remain apathetic
through infinite ragtime and sentimental
airs will applaud when the band plays
the southern classic.
1t does not seem to make any differ
ence whether people are from Dixie land
or not. Northerners, New Englanders and
westerners somehow seem to warm up as
responsibility as one bred in old Kentucky
when the lively strains of the inimitable
melody begin.
When 1t comes to striking the bulls
eye of sentiment Annie Laurie" The
Suwanee River THE Last Rose of
Summer" and even Home, Sweet Home"
and The Star Spangled Banner" are
distinctly outclassed. Dixie is hors
mountaineering the others are mot
In it,
Almost all the old south stood for has
been smashed by the ruthless heel of
progress. Slavery Is gone. The southern
aristocracy is no longer dominant. States
rights have paled But the one song of
the south has triumphed over all that
the north could do in the way of music.
1t is as unreasonable as woman, and
as irresistible. AS the southern girl has
a charm of her own. knocks ALI logical
canons of beauty into cooked hat, and
with her languid smile works havoc with
ice-bound hearts of northern men, so
this amazing tune has done for US all.
Why? Other songs have come, had
their day and gone. Only the old-timers
sing Rally Round the Flag. Boys" the
song of the conquerors. but the song OF
the conquered is eternally fresh
The old south is gone, but it had a
certain beauty that the world does not
willingly let die" Its high spirit of
chivalry. its keen sense OF honor. its
esteem of women. its passionate love of
home. its vivid loyalty to its convictions
these are fine flavors in the garden of
human feeling. We pay unconscious
tribute to them when We applaud Dixie"
Why is Dixie the best American
tune? Why do you like Sue instead of
Jane? Why do You like ham and not
mutton? The dictates Of taste are in
scrutable.
We like Dixie because We like it.
1t is original. 1t is lively. There Is
sunshine in it, and laughter, the tinkling
of banjos, the pat-juba of clapping
hands. There is joy in it-cosmic, ele-
mental joy of life.
There is home in it. and love and 10y
atty, and the glee of our folks
And it is human. 1t grips the heart
1t gets into the feet. 1t stands the test
of tunes for you want to keep whistling
it. and it makes you witch to dance.
When it is played it seems to say:
Why can't everybody just be happy?"
