his ATTITUDE Is pTeVdIdllI Ill IHe
United States and, while it was under
standable when intensive concentra-
tion on making ones way in the world
was a real necessity, it is a distinctly
old-fashioned idea in these days. The
enormous strides made in the appre-
citation of music in this country is due
In great part to the very energetic
work of the women on whom every
man could count when there was new
musical idea that he wished to make
known, The credit for many musical
enterprises goes to the men who
originated the plan, but the real work
was done by women who took up the
idea and enlisted the cooperation OF
their friends or fellow club members.
It is pleasant to imagine what
could be accomplished in furthering
music if a greater number OF men
could be won to the cause. Unfor-
tunately, when the subject is men
toned, there is a panicky throwing
out of a defense barrier, based on that
same excuse of not understanding, and
the ears are deaf to all arguments.
Whether it is fear that weakness might
be inferred by an admission OF interest
In as emotional an art as music or
whether it is actually an impossibility
of appreciating music, is hard to de-
ternine. The answer could be had
If more business men would submit
themselves to the influence of music
for q certain period rather than taking
for granted, without trial, that
music could give them nothing in the
way of entertainment or relaxation.
There is no group of our citizens so
much in need of music as the men
who are occupied so intensively with
business. Working under high nervous
tension, daily meeting encouragement
and opposition, they could be helped
considerably by the aid of music. Being
almost completely under the hard in
fuence of business life, seeing the
smallness and duplicity OF human
nature, they could learn OF lovelier
things by the simple process OF listen
ing to music.
There remains still remnants OF the
idea that in order to enjoy music one
must understand it. A man accus-
toned to having everything tabulated
for him demands at once, when pick
ing up a concert program, to know
what it is all about, expecting to be
told that at this point you will find
such and such a thing and at that
point. another. If definite story can
be attached to the music, his interest
is held and there appears to him to be
some body to the whole thing. just
sitting and listening to complex
sounds seems futile to the man whose
mind is accustomed to solving prob
lens.
The charm of music lies in the in
siduous effect it can have upon one.
There Is no need to follow musical
exposition of some story with an alert
mind, for music was meant for re-
freshment of spiritual forces, for the
awakening of the finer conceptions of
beauty 1t requires a passive subject
on which to work its influence, much
as a hypnotist would do. 1t should
not be difficult to assist, relaxed and
submissive, at musical entertain
ment and let the music achieve its
end.
Almost any other type of entertain
ment carries an after effect of fatigue,
but with music the physical and
mental forces are renewed. Without
understanding music, without studying
It or feeling desire for it, one can

impart. Like the sun, whose rays
bring added health to the body, the
strains of music tune up the health Of
the soul Christian Bovee, American
author, says music is the fourth
great material want of our nature, first
food, then raiment, then shelter, then
music" Science is recognizing more
and more the effect of mental well
being on the physical An hour in
the presence of good music carries one
away from the world of care and
striving, puts one in touch with the
mysterious forces, of which one day
we will universally understand the
usage, and brings one back with a
gain in strength to meet material
problems.
If the business men would agree
to join our concert audiences they
would dissipate for themselves the
idea that they would not enjoy music.
They would understand that all that
musicians are striving for is not an
imaginary thing that belongs to a
select few. 1t is not an emotional
weakness to love music or an attribute
OF particular temperament.
Shakespeare left poSterity harsh
indictment when he wrote, THE man
that hath not music in himself and
is not moved with concord of sweet
sounds, is fit for treaSons, strategems
and spoils; let no man trust him."
THE circle of earnest musicians,
who have given lifetime to fos-
tering musical growth in this city,
has again suffered leSSening of
their number in the loss this past
week of DR.. C. c. Christiani. Not
only the group of co-workers, but the
many musicians or music lovers who
knew him, and the pupils who were
privileged to study under his direc-
ton, grieve over the passing of his
helpful and genial spirit. Kindly and
broad-minded toward all who worked
with music, without pettiness or
thought of personal glory, he occu-
pied an important place in the citys
musical life and in the hearts of
those associated with him, that cannot
easily be filled.
His geniality and largeness OF
keart radiated happiness around him
He found in music a source of con-
tentment and deep inspiration and
he served it with devotion that most
of us could well emulate. To the mu-
sicians of the city and, in particular
to his pupils, he has left great ex-
ample of how music can fill the heart
with noble principles If we but SUBJ
nit to its influence as he did.
Next to music he loved young peo-
pie, planning for them, encouraging
them and, above all, understanding
them. He made known to them the
best music, choosing wisely what tc
give them to study so that the love
for it would be guarded and its glor-
ious beauty inspire them to become
its disciples. He knew the way to
their hearts and cherished their
young enthusiasm, and, with this in
mind, created opportunities for them
to give vent to it.
He has left an unforgettable re-
membrance of happy nature find
ing its greatest happiness in the pur-
suit of the greatest art, a record of
constructive work, for which he was
well grounded, and rare gift for
friendship. Would that more of us
could complete a musical nature with
those attributes which DR.. Christiani
possessed in abundance.

What Others Think

Decision of the state supreme court that proposed
sale of eight million dollars of rural credit bonds is
illegal winds up happily extremely suspicious
transaction.
Last June, a few days before the Rural Credit
board was to wind up it's affairs and turn the
bureau to the conservator, it was discovered that
clandestne transaction in progress to sell eight
million dollars of rural credit bonds to carleton D.
Beh and Company of Des Moines The Beh company
had arranged to sell the bonds in turn to eastern
syndicate Of banks taking handsome profit for its
services. The right to issue the bonds at all
tremey questionable, and the policy of issuing them
in conflict with the program for the rural credit
bureau that had been adopted by the 1888 legislature
Aside from these considerations, the bonds were not
sold by competitive bidding, and it is this feature on
which the supreme Friday based it decision in
validating the transactions ~
Why was Carleton D. Beh and Company called in

been interested in Minnesota public finance Nor is the
matter put in any better light by the fact that the
head of this firm recently indicated for fraud

with another public financial transaction. t.'
