In England during the 10th century,

This is evidenced by the works pfo-

in Rome, at first in 1865, for religious
service. The work consisted Of short

Testimony of a State.
VOLUME s5. No. 8

The senate of the State of Kansas
very recently passed strong resolu-
tions declaring that statewide prohi-
>hition was one of its greatest assets,
and the basis OF its prosperity, mater
ial, social and financial. These legis-
tors are unanimous in their endorse
ment of Governor Capper's words
concerning the welfare of this great
state: "Our material prosperity, our
high standard of public morals, our
personal we'll being are largely due to
the fact that for more than thirty
years the open saloon has been an
outlaw in this state.''
Investigations into the economic
conditions in prohibition and license
states are bringing to light many
startling facts concerning the welfare
Of the states which for longer or short
er periods have had prohibition law
on their statute books. An instance
OF this is the enormous growth of
North Dakota as compared with that
of her sister state of South Dakota,
according to figures compiled by the
Temperance Society Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. In 1890, year af-
ter both territories we're admitted to
the union as prohibition states, South
Dakota had population of As to the
square mile, and North Dakota had
only 2.7. In 1910 North Dakota led
with S.2 population to the square mile,
South Dakota, which had abandoned
prohibition after comparatively
short trial, having only 7.6, despite
her advantage in 1890. A correspond
ing increase is noticeable in other par
tioxlars. According to the census of
1910, North Dakota had a foreign
horn population of 1874 per cent and
South Dakota only q per cent, not
withstsnding the claim that prohibi-
tion keeps out the immigrant. In
North Dakota 80 per cent of the poo
pie owned their homes, but in South
Dakota the percentage was only TIP.
Concerning the number of paupers and
insane to 100, ,OOe. of the population ip
those states. North Dakota had in 1910
only II paupers, and 1888 insane as
compared with 24.8 paupers and l48
insane in South Dakota.

Evolution of the Opera
From Church Music.

The following interesting paper was
prepared and read by Mrs. Henry Pat
ten ut meeting of the Woman's Club
of Hope:
The ancient nations had their sys-
TENS and styles of music.
We have no certain records of the
ancient Egyptian music, except the
many monuments with musical instru-
ments carved upon them. Their in
struments were the harp, flute, and an
instrument resembling the guitar. The
Hebrews took many customs and ideas
Of music from the Egyptians. But we
do not know as much about their
music as we do Of the Egyptians, for
they left no monuments ut all.
The Jewish style of poetry in which
the Psalms were written is very differ
ent from ours or that of the old
Greeks. The structure shows that they
were sung, not spoken. Jewish In
struments were the harp, cymbals and
psaltery The singing Of their scrip
tural music was carried on respons-
lively by the leader of the choir The
! word "Selah," which occurs SO often
in the Psalms, was probably some in
struction to the musicians. The Greek
civilization was the most highly de-
veloped of all civilizations. Though
we do not know exactly what their
music was, the old Greek tragedies
with their choruses show that there
was music.
When Rome conquered Greece she
got many Of her ideas of music from
the Greeks. In Rome, among the
Christians, of which there were many,
holding services between the tomb
stones of sataeombs, or any other
place they could find, their meetings
had some music, being influenced BY
the Romans, and more especially by
the Hebrews. There must have been
congregational singing, probably like
that of the Jews; also accompanied by
kCSLaIOos 4uCE0 10 uO k0COEO d0 w CLIO
style of their singing, but best author
tiles believe 1t was of wierd and
mournful character.
In 81 A. D., mass was instituted, and
it was from their custom of ringing
bells aad tambourines, with gestures
accompanying the singing, that the
custom Of ringing bells at mass, came.
AS the Christian faith gained moro
ground tho desire oame to have more
uniform service. About this time Con
stantine the Great accepted the Chris
tian faith, and Christianity was free
to go its way. St. Ambrose took .
deep interest in improving the musical
service, as did also Pope Grocery.

North Dakota Approachss
Million MarIc.

Ihe present indicatiOnS are that
North Dakota will touch the million
mark in population within the txo
year period. THIS fact, together With
others equally interesting, are devil
oped In an investigation just oeln-
pleted by the Commercial Club of
Grand Forks. Assuming that the pr
centags of gains are continuin1ssat
least as high rate as for the It's
decimal period, the Club finds hat
North Dakota now has an estimate
population of 88o,3l2. This Is . gGin
OF over 300, 900 in the past five yssSs.
1t appears that the percentage OF
gains is even higher than In fordasY
years, SO that it would seem that Vie
estimates are we'll within the fstts.
City statistics figured by the ssshs
methods as are used by the UattSd
States Census Bureau, now give
Grand Forks population Of 10. ~,
which shows gain OF II per cent fos
the past i've years. These figures sIs
made up after careful study by the
government Of the postal rsssiD1s,
general revenue and bank oleaginfs
as we'll AS general business' tndiSA-
tions, and they are used in the gSv-
ernment business in figuring tpopuaa-
tion gains and departmental iacrsssss.
The city figures therefore bear ost Tie
state population estimates.
Authorities agree that there 10 In
unusually large number Of oitizjhnias
headed for North Dakota this yssi,
and they predict that with the new ill.,
migration department Of the state Ut
work in connection with the rsilwsts
and other agencies which are slrssty
organized for encouraging immigta-
tion into the STATE, that undoubtsdlJa
great growth is before US.
President Edmund Pennington of t6e
s 90 line made the prediction that thls
year would witness the ahea West imnsl-
grafton movement on record iuso
Northern Minnesota, and part of
North Dakota. He supplemented IL
with another prediction that the nv
families that will take up land WIN
know better how TO begin vthsncsty
settlers that ever before moved in.
"1here will soon begin to move Into
Northern Minnesota and North Ds-
kota the finest lot OF agricultural p6os
pie, collectively speaking, that ever
came this way" Mr.. Pennington said:
Every family that comes will 'bs 81
asset for the state whore 1t sestie&."
The state census will bs tsksns thtt
spring, and an opportunity will there
fore soon be given to check the sb6v1
figures.

crops increased 234.4 per sent, or from
$50, Oil 4l9 in 1900 to $3.50, 17e, s72 in
1910, a percentage exceeded by no
other state. North Dakota's agrieul-
tural wealth is greater than that of
the seven combined New England
states. Her bank deposits from 1898
to 1913 increased by more than 1000
per cent.
