A NATIONAL DIXIE

Mrs. Edward c, Orvis, of Manehcs-
ter, Vermont. read our remarks in tho
issue Of March IL to the effect that
the only popular patriotic song OF Am
erican origin that everybody applauds
and enjoys is the song Of a Lost Cause
namely, Dixie" and that II every
body voted as the heart dictated,
Dixie" would be our National air.
That suggested to Mrs. orvis the
writing Of National words TO this A.
merican tune. This tune, we may add,
was composed by Dan Emmett, an
Ohio man, according 70 Elson's His
tory OF American Music" II is sait

troupe Mt n theator cA .s.Oadway,
New York, a couple of months before

One reader Of The Outlook, Mr.. Ed
ward A. Belcher, in asking us to look
up tho genesis Of the song, refers 10
this origin of Dixie" as n walk
around" for Bryants minstrels (cit-
ing Nelson's Encyclopaedia as his
authority, and he adds;
In 1.-The Readers Handbook" Brew
err says: Dixie was stakeholder Of
Manhattan Island, who removed his
slaves to the Southern States, where
they had to work harder and fare
worse, so that they were always sigh
ing for their old home, which they
called 'Dixic's Land'--a sort of De-
lectable Country or land Of Beulah."
Won't you trail il to its hole, tune
and all And, as touching the tune,
years ago-when a very housekeeping
and coaceitcd lad was told by some
musical body that the tune was an
old Latin chant covered with the IL
chen of centuries. Find out and tell.
The musical people may know.
The song in its origin seems TO be
Northern, and in its subject is South
ern--a National combination. In her
letter accompanying the verses Mrs.
Orvis says:
81 am not a poet (when you have
read the Enclosure you may think IL
was not necessary for me to tell you
this) but sat down and wrote some
words that can be sung TO the tune Of
Dixie, and if you think them worthy
of place in The Outlook, here they
are. God bless themw

OF THE
LIBRARY SITUATION
FOR LOGAN City

After several attempts to secure .
public library for Logan, the Com
merclal club took the matter up
about a year ago, secured the requi-
site number of signatures, and rec
commended to the city commissioners
that the library be established. The
city acted favorably on the PROPOSE
ton, and in accordance with the
state law, board was appointed,
consisting of p. A. Thatcher, Weston
Vernon, George Thomas, o. H.
Bulge, Joseph Odell, +. T. Lewis and
Misses Margaret Wilkinson, Mary
Sorenson and Edith Bowen. The
board was organized at once with
Weston Vernon, president; DR.. Thorn
as, vice president; and Miss Wilkin-
son, secretary. 1t may be stated for
the information of the public that
the Carnegie Foundation is willing
to furnish the money as gift for
the erection of the library building.
The site. however, must be furnished
by the city before any money Is ad-
vanced for the building. The library
board, therefore. appointed a COM
mittee. consisting of mayor Thatcher,
Miss Wilkinson, Messrs. o dell,
Thomas and Bulge, to select site.
This committee did all in its power
to secure a part of the Tabernacle
square for this purpose, but failed
Various other locations were consid'
cred, until finally the northeast cor
ner of the court house grounds was
fixed upon the question of purchas'
ing this corner was taken up with
