The Indian Melodies.


| The tribal Indian melodies, from
the collection Of Stella Prince Stock
er, were all from the Sioux and Chip
pewa tribes, and were given with a
clear conception of the dignity and
poetic nature of the red man. Mr..
Ihurlow Lieurance, probably. the most
eminent authority on the music of the
lndtan tribes, a great student and a
composer of beautiful songs, in which
Held he has won an International sue
cess, has stated "To know the heart
and soul of the American Red Man
has been the dream Of my life"
! This wonderful race, which, in its
branches, had manifested a remarka.
BILE phase of civilization long before
Columbus ever dreamed of coming to
America, has fascination for the in
telligent white man who realizes that
in all civilization there is scale Of
character from the lowest to the high
est. He also states, "The Indian very
! Frequently sings his songs in syllables,
rarely, except in love songs does he
use words. The song is dedicated to
certain purpose and he sings these
monosyllables with quite as much en-
thusiasm as though they were real
words"
The music by the first American
composers from 1877 to 1864 included
some charming numbers, Of which
most American musicians had quite
lost sight. 1t will be interesting to
know that Stephen Foster composed
about one hundred and seventy-fve
songs.
Old Plantation Songs
The old plantation melodies and
spirituals were given as only a true
daughter Of the south could present
them; with the true understanding
of the colored race, and with the negro
dialect
The piano numbers on the program
were presented by Miss Rosamond
Crawford Miss Crawford is pianist
of rare merit, interpreting each num-
Der with definite understanding of the
composition. Her excellent tone,
and quality was the result of highly
J developed technical equipment, and
she is in every detail an exponent of
modern methods-her attack was, Sc
cure and authoritative.
"By the Waters of Minnetonka," by
Lieurance, is All exquisite piece of
musical workmanship-the wonderful
accompaniment supports and sur
rounds a plaintive melody of limited
range, which has been idealized by
the composer until it has become q
composition of unusual artistic beau

People Are Rulers.

Many people, the court said, lost
confidence in the government and
had grievances. but they lost sight
of the fact that the cure for these
rest with them, and in the ballot box.

quently heard that there were too
many laws, but he reminded the
jurors that every year something
comes up that needs slight change
some law must be revised to meet
the necessity for protection against
some new schemer.e o.
Every year there is some new
device to steal from the farmer and
the business man his money. through
some crooked, fraudulent stock sell
ing scheme" the judge said. This
must be met by new laws or amend
ments "a few years ago we were
legislating about horses and buggies;
now it IS automobile travel, and in
a year or so it will be aeroplane
travel" ...-
"Fence" Is Scored.
The fence" which buys stolen
goods, was given a severe scoring at
the hands of Judge Wade. "The man
who buys stolen property should be
as severely punished, or more so,
than the man who steals" Judge
Wade declared. Prosecution Of him
will remove the temptation to steal.
The man who buys 2 $40 automobile
tire for SIS knows that it has been

or by someone else, and he is Just
as guilty as the thief

Ii the American people would give

government that they do to the
movies, they would have good gov
eminent, Judge Martin j. Wade said
in the United States district court
this morning while instructing the
grand jury. He declared that the
American people have an idea that
government will run itself, and that
too few people talk about it or think
about it,
Judge Wade told the jurors that
the people of this country are respon-
sible for the government and for the
enforcement of it's laws. He de-
clared that the constitution is not
made for railroad presidents and cor
porations, but for the humblest citi-
zen and the raggedest tramp that
ever rode brake beam.
Ninety-nine out of every hundred
citizens know too little about their
government, he charged. He said
that if government was not properly
administered it was because the
people themselves were so blame. TT
is because the people do not give
government sufficient thought" he
said. People not only make the
laws, but enforce them" he said, III
they are not enforced, it is the fault
of the people"
He told the grand jurors that no
citizen could be brought into court
until after they had acted, and that
no citizen could be deprived of his
liberty without trial. The juries, he
declared, were made up Of the ordi-
nary citizens in every walk Of life;
that man wa0ejudged by the juries
of his neighbors and friends, and
that ninety7nine per cent Of the deci-
sions in court cases arc correct. "We
read in the newspapers of acquittal
Of some person, and some para
grapher comes out with statement
that justice has miscarried. Let me
remind you that it is not the judge
who rules, but the jury, composed of
people in ordinary walks of life. Only

! carry Ninety-nine times out of a
hundred the decision is right. There
are bound to be mistakes in the
courts, because justice is admins
