The birth rate of the native born
American decreased at an alarming rate.
That of the foreigners increased with
rabbit like rapidity, American ideals, art
and culture being rapidly replaced by
the vulgarities, obscenities and crudities
of the foreigners. Even the religious
liberties of the native Americans were
denied.
The final stand of the Americans was
made at the Battle of Little Bighorn where
the foreigners under command of General
Custer were utterly annihilated by the
Americans through superior tactics. The
battle is known by the foreigners as The
Custer Massacre, though by what line of
reasoning the defeat of military force
invading hostile territory by superior
force, is called massacre, is too deep for
us, kid. Probably the same as leads them
to designate the Massacre at Wounded

brains dashed out against rock or their
heads smashed in by musket butts. The
bodies of the slain, over twelve hundred,
were food for the coyotes and their
bleached bones later were thrown into the
junk wagons of scavangers with those of
the buffalo and shipped east to make fer
tilizer.
Having robbed, debauched and MUIR
dered most of the native Americans, the
foreigners sent ship to Africa to steal men
as slaves to work the lands they had stolen
from the Americans. The Africans were
not such fighters and lovers of freedom as
the native Americans who went on the
principle of "Give me liberty or give me
death" and thus made darn poor slaves.
The stolen Africans who survived the ter
rible march to the coast and withstood the
unspeakable horrors of the slave barracks,
were packed in layers like sardines in the
hold of the ships and as about half died
on the way over the poor New England
slave captains and their devout hackers
ashore would only be able to realize on
about 800 slaves instead of 1900 as they
should if these black dogs had any sense
of decency. Instead of that the niggers
seemed to take perverse delight in dying
and becoming food for the sharks instead
of profits for the deacons.
Finally the foreigners got in family
jam. The winning faction having found
it cheaper to use their own poor as factory
fodder, freed the slaves. Thereon the
losing side became highly peeved and
hung burned and beat up the freedman,
alleging that the freedmen were black
(which they were, having maliciously
chosen to be born black instead of Whitley
and that they had no business to come to
this country even if they had been kid
mapped by the whites. They had no busi-
ness to be alive in the first place and if
God did make such mistake as to make
them, they were going to correct the mis-
take.
So the blacks held council in the mys-
terious depths of the dark, dank swamps.
The witch doctors made big medicine.
1t was a mighty charm and now when
the Senegambians utter the incarnation
with moaning saxaphone and squealing
fiddle, the whole billing of whites from
San Saba's shore to St. Lawrence's tide
shiver as in fever and gyrate in couples,
male and female, up and down polished
floor.

PIERIAN CHAUTAUQUA CIRCLE

On Sunday, November 4th, the members
of the Pierian Chautauqua Circle met in
the schoolroom for what is probably the
most pleasing, and certainly the most
satisfying, occasion of the year. The fea-
ture of this meeting was a musicale, or
more generally a concert, made possible
through the kindness of Honorary Member
Deputy Welch in loaning to the Circle his
victrola and we'll chosen selection from
his stock of records. There were, as was
to be expected, no absentees
Preceding the concert and falling in line
with the usual initiatory program, a vote
of thanks was extended to the Printing
Department for its work in publishing in
pamphlet form the bylaws of the Circle.
Announcement was made of the date, ten
tatively December 10Th, on which Prof. r.
J. Reichkitzer Musical Director, of whom
we expect to speak in later report, will
give band concert under the auspices of
the Circle. A rising vote of appreciation
was given Mr.. c. H. S., the Circle land
scapist for his "An AUTUMN Scene, which
had been presented at the last meeting.
And he, in turn, presented to Honorary
Member Deputy Welch a gift of artistic
value, handmade wooden replica (oh
Renaissance y of a gun, further product
of his art. Three prospective members
were named, passed upon, and submitted
for approval. And at the conclusion of
the meeting an address of appreciation
and thanks was delivered by President o.
N. to Honorary Member Deputy Welch
for his kindness and generosity in offering
to the Circle members so splendid an op-
portunity of partaking of what we hold to
be the highest form of art. A rising vote
formulated the Presidents words for each
member.
The concert itself was long, comprising
thirty-three selections, yet it was all too
short for those who listened. For year
is long while to wait for another such
pleasure. But if appearances are any in
dication, twelve-month apart from the
best thatis to be had in the world of con-
temporary music has its compensations in
zest and enthusiasm. And it would be
hard to find more eager audience even
amongst those who were wont to pilgrim
age to Baireuth.
a. Gilbert Scldes and the late James Hume
ker have addressed an Indifferent public
at length "many times and many places"
on the appreciation of music, good and
contemporary, as the saying is. The latter
has explained away great deal of the
heat waves which invariably surround a
symphonic composition worthy of an opin-
ion; and Seldes, in a number of recent
articles, has pointed the way towards
better understanding and keener appre-
citation of contemporary jazz by placing
this music in relation to our times. Which
is of considerable significance, particularly
so since he has thereby blown away the
fog of moral perversion which has ten
dency to crowd around the spontaneous
pleasures of any age. Which, again, is to
say that jazz music, per Sc, may or should
no longer be considered low-brow.
If person cannot appreciate Tristan
and Isolde or the Scherxo in E, opus 81,
of Chopin, he has done nothing to be con-
demned for. And if he cannot sit through
brief session of Wagner or Liszt or
Godowsky or Chopin or Mendelssohn or
