Journalism Of his training, his long resi-
dence In Europe, and an unconscious
temperamental antipathy to an art into
which he had been coerced barred him
from adequate understanding Of the
musical needs and possibilities Of his
time and country.
Perhaps he '.pew too much. felt too
little. That he could be deeply stirred
is abundantly manifest In many Incl
dents of his life. But his range was
limited to the narrow field of his own
interests, and they were few in number
and doctrinaire In character He fled
from the concert platform to teaching,
and from teaching to madness. The re-
bellion against music which began
when he was a child drove him insane.
He destroyed his manuscripts in a final
frenzy of revolt, then sank into a mel
ancholy from which only death could
release him.
Hearing his work today, music lovers
must be grateful for all that he achieved
in the face of difficulties, but they must
mourn the Illustration which chained
his soul and prevented him from Great
ing even nobler compositions. He was
a made-to- order artist and vastly i'm
portant as such, but it would have been
better had there been less interference
with the natural development of his
genius.

Edward Mcdowell.

The current revival Of interest in the
compositions Of Edward MacDowell re-
calls to public attention one of the
saddest stories in the history Of Ameri-
can music.
Born December 18, 1861, MacDowell
should be living today. Instead, he died
almost quarter of century ago The
span OF his life ran through only forty
exceed a decade and half. The
chronicle of his career furnishes evi-
dence for the estimation of the causes
Of his tragedy.
He was put to the study of the piano
when only eight years of age. Appar-
emily, he had no instructive liking for
either that instrument or for music as
an art Ambitious, we'll meaning parents
and friends guided him into mastery of
the basic technique. He had competent
teachers at home and abroad. But it
was only after thirteen years that he
came to like his work, and even then
he was not entirely happy. He could
play with great artistry and he could
write according to the best technical
traditions. but there was no authentic
passion in him, crying for expression in
composition. The hands of his masters
lay heavily on his spirit. He was i'm
prisoncd in the rigid molds Of their
formulas He echoed them. perforce.
Mendelssohn, Schumann, Grieg and
Ran dictated his thought and governed
his style. They turned his mind back
to the past. not forward to the future.
They kept him isolated from real life.
real struggle.
So it was that Mcdowell wrote on
themes oatmoded and outworn and in
manner mechanically perfect but an
tiquated. The mighty gusts of creative
impulse which swept over Beethoven,
Chopin and Wagner were shut away
from him. No irrepressible melodies
tore through his consciousness. He
could arrange pretty sequences of sound,
paint delicate impressions, etch out nice
little intaglios Of harmony. But there
should have been in his heart something
of the majestic rhythm of which Walt
Whitman was aware when he spoke of
hearing America singing. Mcdowell

many Of the Senators to put through
tax legislation which would actually
balance the Government budget. With
the revenue question frankly before the
Senate in the shape of a bill to levy a
tax Of S. barrel on 81 per cent or
2.75 per cent beer as the case may be,
there is nothing in the rules of the
upper house to prevent Senators from
offering amendments to raise other
taxes. Indeed. 1t would be strange If
such amendments were not offered,
particularly as the Treasury is in need
Of additional revenue and the situa-
ton has been laid bare by both Presi-
dent Hoover and his Secretary of the
Treasury, Ogden Mills. Mr.. Mills Is
strong advocate of the manufactur-
ers' sales tax.
Once the Senate undertakes to make
OF the beer bill a general tax measure
the fat may BE- in the fire, indeed The
hopes Of beer of any per cent. except
the present onehalf of one per cent
would fade, unless the Democrats in
the present Congress are willing to
tackle that really important job Of bal
ancing the budget. There has been an
inClin2 ton, however. on the part OF the
Democrats to let matters of major i'm
portance go ever until the newiy-elected
Congress comes into being March 4.
And probably beer legislation and the
tax measures both will be found knock
ing at the door OF the Seventy-third
Congress when Franklin D. Roosevelt
calls it into special session next Spring.
