What Governor Sulzer Said
Before The United German
Singing Societies, at Their
Annual Sangerfest, in
Syracuse, New York, June
18th, 1913

music of the Germans, and the French,
and the Italians,-made the observa-
ton that America has given to the
world not a single bar of original
music save the folk songs of Stephen
Foster. Investigation eompels me to
concur in the conclusion. You know
those songs of Foster. They ring true.
They are as musical now as when they
were written. They touch the heart
strings of humanity in our day just as
they did in the day of Foster. Those
songs are the true music of the Western
World. They are becoming more popu-
lar with the intervening years. They
are human. They are musical. They
will never die.
"You know these Foster songs-My
Old Kentucky Home; Old Dog Tray;
Massa Is in the Cold, Cold Ground; Old
Black Joe; Old Folks at Home; and
Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming.
The music of these songs is original.
Their melody is ever beautiful and
harmonious. They never grow old.
They touch the human heart. They
are the songs of the people. They are
sung by all races, in all places.
"And so, from one end of the world
to the other, these songs-written by
one of our immortals, whose pathetic
life reads like a romance, are the true
songs of our country-the real songs
of the people of America.
$50, too, in Germany, it is not the
classical music of Bach and Wagner,
of Chopin and Handel, of Mozart and
Beethoven, that moves the masses and
appeals to the people, but the old folk
songs-the simple songs of the long
ago-that satisfy the rank and file and
constitute the melodies that the people
comprehend. In the fatherland, as
here, the real musie-the music that
sways humanity-is the simple music
of the human heart-the melodies of
the mind-the music that gives express
sion to the joys and the tears, to the
hopes and the tears, of the plain peo-
pie.
"The harmony of the spheres pro-
claims the Creator, and since the morn
ing stars first sang together the
rhythmic song of Nature is the music
of the stellar universe.
"Al honor to the men and the
women who teach music. The simple
men and women of the world have al
ways been the teachers of the world.
The music teacher is now, and ever
has been, an advance agent in the on
ward march of Civilization. These
musical teachers do a true work for
Progress little appreciated by the un-
thinking, and yet that which they do
has an effect on the minds and the
hearts of the time far beyond the con-
eeption of the average students of hu-
man affairs.
"Greetings and congratulations,
therefore, to the German Singing So
cieties-and to all Singing Societies
which meet here and there every year
to sing the folk songs, to sing the
songs of Childhood, to sing the songs
of Love, to sing the songs of Peace, to
sing the songs of Home, to sing the
songs of Country, and to sing the songs
of Creation! They are doing, in their
day and generation, great work for
humanity, for progress, and for Civil.
zation, little appreciated by those who
do not think, and comprehended less, I
am sorry to say, by those who do not
know"
The broad ax., 1916-09-09

(This speech was geographically
reported, and is now printed for the
first time.)
Mr.. Sulzer spoke as follows:
"My friends: The German people
love music.
"There is an old saying that the
love of music makes good people-that
those who love music have no evil in
their hearts-that the love of music
promotes happiness and insures con-
tentment.
"The German Singing Societies
teach this philosophy-and it is a
sound philosophy.
"Every believer in his fellowmen
should take some interest in music
because it expresses, in universal Ian
guage, the hope, and the longing, and
the aspiration of the human heart. A
sagacious statesman has said that he
cared not who wrote the laws of his
country so long as he could write the
songs of the people. There is much
political wisdom in that observation.
"The music and the songs of peo-
pie have much to do with moulding
the views and the opinions of people.
There is nothing truer in the records of
man. It is the music of song that stirs
humanity. It is the music of the mother
song, lulling her baby to sleep, that
leaves the lasting impression. 1t is
the music of the martial song, along
the far-fiung line, that makes the ser
ried ranks march on to battle. 1t is
the music of the World song for world
peace, striking a responsive chord in
advancing civilization, that heralds
the dawn of the brotherhood of man.
It is the music of the song of love,
playing on the heart strings of lovers,
that makes the world 60 round. 1t is
the music of the song of death, sing
ing through the trees the requiem of
the departing, that cheers our loved
ones on the journey to the undis-
covered country.
"And so it may be said that it is
the songs of the people, from the
cradle to the grave, that tell their
story-and that make us all that we
are, and all that we hope to be.
"Give US, o give US, the man who
sings at his work. =" said Carlyle. He
will do more in the same time-he will
do it better-he will preserve longer.
One is scarcely sensible of fatigue
whilst he marches to music. The very
stars are said to make music as they
revolve in their spheres. Wondrous is
the strength of cheerfulness, and alto
gether past calculation its powers of
endurance. Efforts, to be permanently
useful, must be uniformly joyous
and full of the song of sunshine.
"The people in all times, and in all
climes, love the old songs-the songs
that mother used to sing-and the
folk-songs of the fatherland. 1t is fit
ting that on occasions like this these
old songs be sung, and that we ponder
on all that they mean.
"No one loves music more than I
do. No one loves the old songs more
than I do. It never hurts an old song
to sing it again.
emusic is the artistic expression of
our subconscious self-the inexpress-
ible poetry of the soul-uttered in the
symphony of sound-the universal Ian
guage of the human race.
"Years ago Theodore Thomas, one
of our greatest musicians, talking to
me about music-from the weird songs
of primitive people, to the classic

when labor is idle. you must sell your

Free Trade laws have always closed
the factories and reduced the demand
for farm products. No one knows this
better than you. When the war ends
you will find yourself back In the days
OF 1895 and 1914 unless you have ON
