did crudely. Foster found the first
distinctly American music in Negro
folk songs, and to this day the only
music that could not by any possibili-
ty have be6n written anywhere else
than in America is that in which the
Negroes influence is predominant. r.

ing school of writers who call them
selves the new" poets has not been
altogether free from his influence.
One of Vachel Lindsey's finest efforts
Is his suit of poems on the Negro.
To give the devil his due, American
Art owes to the black man its best
prospect of developing individually, of
developing greatness. He has given
our music strange, new theory that
1t doesn't know what to make of it,
but that is certainly unlike any other
music on earth. He has given our
literature picturesqueness that 1t
could never have borrowed success
fully. He has given our stage a
comic foil so excellent that it has
been well nigh ruined by abuse. And
back of it all is the shadow of TRACE
dy that he has brought with him,
which sooner or later some artist
whether painter, musician, dramatist,
poet, or novelist will use for a Gre
alton Of genius that will sweep the
world.
That of course, all lies in the
future; but already we are deeply
in his debt, for already he has given
us the blessed gift of laughter.

Read it all.
I'VE sincerely hope" remarks the
Raleigh Biblical Recorder, that the
Negro dialect will not perish from
the earth. There is a peculiar charm
about it that appeals to every south
erner, especially to those who knew
the old time plantation Negro"
True. But the old-time plantation
Negro has disappeared. How should
his speach be preserved? The grand
son of Uncle Remus talks as diff
ferent a language-not English OF
the universities, to be sure but not
less far from that than from the
speech that Harris set down. BY its
Very nature, any dialect must change
with the changing fortune of the pee
pie who speak it; and no other race
has every been subjected within so
years to as sudden and tremendous
change in status as the American
Negro. His speech must necessarily
undergo profound notifications, and
what was true dialect 20 years ago
sounds strangely in the ears of those
who know the Negro of today.
Joel Chandler Harris and John
Charles McNeill," continues the Re-
corder,. were authorities on Negro
dialect" True again. But the dia-
lect Of Mcneil is radically different
written by Harris Dickson differs
from both; and that of Octavus Ray
Cohen is yet another species. Yet we
hold to the belief that Dickson and
Cohen are as true to life as Harris
or Mcneil. The fact is that Uncle
Remus spoke a different language
from that used by Blue Gum Ander,
of the Scotland county church mill
tant, or by Old Reliable, of the Misei-
ssippi levees, or by Florian Slappey,
the leader of high society of Birming-
ham. The grievous creation of would
be dialect writer's of northern birth,
we lay aside, along with the boojum
and the shark and other extinct ami
mails that never existed. But dialect
writer's may be as diversified almost
as the autumn leaves, and wet paint,
each, the thing as he sees it, and
paint it truly; for the Negro himself
is coming to be almost infinite in
his variety.
America is only just getting to be
artistically Independent enough to ap-
preciate the Negro. Our humorists-
always pioneer spirits-were the first

Harris and Mcneil did much to es-
tablish the Negro in literature; Dick
