"People are tak the law Into their own hands on the ground that Congress is not passing necessary laws. We hear re i ports of mobs everywhere." ! Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, I declared the bill would "not catch a single spy," asserting spies do not work publicly or openly make dis loyal utterances. German propaganda hAs been "no toriously conducted" and the bill's I purpose is to broaden the espionage j law, Senator Walsh, of Montana, said. IHe said some Federal Courts have made "strained constructions" of ex isting law, and discharged persons who have denounced the President | and nation and obstructed the draft i and bond subscriptions.

CITY'S MUSICAL PLANS GIVEN GREAT IMPETUS [Continued from First I'age.] good in Harrisburg, as elsewhere. 1 When Dr. Muck, of the Boston j Symphony Orchastra, declined to play the 'Star Spangled Banner' because it is not a classic, he made the mistake of his life. The "Star Spangled Banner,' expressing the soul of democracy, transcends any music written by whatever com poser, dead or alive." This was the electric, galvanizing message brought to Harrisburg last night by John C. Freund, a big man of big vision, who called out sup pressed emotions from a representa tive Harrisburg audience at the Civic Club. It may be said that Harrisburg hugged Dr. Freund to its bosom like a mother welcoming her long-lost child. He had the punch. He woke up everybody to the neces sity of linding his voice. He linked good singing with patriotism and the brief pointed speeches of a dozen men and women of Harrisburg j all touched on this feature. If he i had his way the people of Harris burg would assemble in our beauti ful parks and bay lustily even if not scientifically in the winds that sweep down from the mountains. He can see the day when this gay metropolis will have a symphony orchestra of its own, and when the poor folk herded in the alleys will come out and let loose their emo tions in wholesome fashion. A Quick Rcs|ion.sc No new activity ever introduced in this community had sucji quick response as this. Community Sing ing. It had the Liberty Loan, even, standing still. Whisked from JJie station. Pioneer Freund, who in ■ some ways suggests Ben Franklin with a dash of General Pershing, was dined at the Senate by members of the local committee and later guided into the harmonious sanc tum of the Civic Club, where the | tables were decorated with sheaves I of hyacinth and pink-topped can- | dies, flowers and greens. It was .a i curious, inquisitive, buoyant crowd of citizens, many of whom have long been looking for a Moses in the Mu sic Desert. Harrisburg. by all tokens, is a music-loving city; eager to respond if shown the way. The welcoming reception to the man who knows was delightfully in formal. Music is going to help us some way or other, seemed to be the sentiment, and Dr. J. George Becht, executive secretary of the State Board of Education, who presided, made a fine start by narrating that he was some musician himself. He had three lessons on the old organ at the age of eight and seven les sons in vocal singing, costing his parents the sum of $1.50. Chairman Becht fell to meditating about a merry wight named Orpheus who had a wizard lyre, but he got sort of mixed up in the spelling of that word and called on Dr. Charles F. Hoban, superintendent of schools at Dunmore, Pa., to help him out. You may never have known there was a town named Dunmore. but it is time that you awake. Dunmore's Welsh singers are so famous that an Eng lish touring party tome years ago returned to home clime and reported that the only real music they heard j in America was at Dunmore. And I this place was stirred by Dr. Freund i originally. Dr. Hoban brought] touching and inspiring messages I ] from Dunmore. Here's one: "Most I momentous event ever took place j I in the Lackawanna Valley was Dr. j ! Freund's visit." Some testimony, I i that. Music in Camps The idea of this uncommon wel ' come to a stranger in Harrisburg ; was to get comment from all strata lof local life and activity. It was quite fitting, therefore, that the press should be called on for response in ; the person of E. J. Stackpole. The guest of the evening, himself, ap peared to take no little pride In call ing himself a newspaper man, for I Or. Freund is editor of Musical America and a trained journalist. ; Mr. Stackpole whisked the subject to Army camps and told of the effect I produced by thousands of young brave American soldiers chorusing j that military and religious lilt of I "Onward Christian Soldiers" at mil i Uury camps where ho recently vis ; ited. , Richard M. HI Wharton, repre senting the News and Patriot, ' pledged the influence and enthu , siasm of the Harrisburg press as a I unit for this worthy cause, and Dr. | F E. Downes. superintendent of schools, called up the story of Dun j more as on example for Harrisburg i and its schools. The Philippine campaign suggest ed several two-minute stories bear ing on the valup and pleasure of music to Captafti Lnmh, of the Ro tary Club. He told a vivid story of American troops marching to a nasty attack, with everything depressing until the boys suddenly started that same inspiring hymn "Onward Christian Soldiers," wherewith the expedition went through in a .jiffy, nishop Darlington wan inclined to tuke a more or less exalted religious view of the introduction of com munity singing Into liarrisburg. "I believe Mr. Freund looks upon it In this way," lie said and upon conclu sion ho called for a stundlng toast to Mr. Freund, himself. This was, in deed, hearty. "When 1 sec the whole city out in the plaza or the park, singing," spoke Mrs. William Henderson in eager, hopeful tones "I will be happy. 1 would like tp see dancing on the water front steps, too, all of course, under proper ohaperonage. This would mkke Harrisburg joyful, re lieve all i boredom and be whole some." She pledged the efforts of the Civic Club of which she is president, to help along community singing. Many Sup|x>rt Movement The Wednesday Club, next to the oldest musical organization of its kind in the United States, was ably represented by its president, Mrs. William L. Keller. There was no doubt of this society's being: in sym pathy with community singing, she said and the line big audience ap plauded roundly. One of the liveliest speeches of the Harrisburgers welcoming Dr. Freund and community singing, was made by Dr. Lewis Seymour Mudge, pas tor of Pine Street Church. Dr. Mudge was evidently very much interested in this movement and the occasion appealed to him not as one for John Knox severity, but rather for some thing that might have entertained the frivolous Mary, Queen of Scots. The Presbyterian divine was quite practical, too. "Do you know," he confided, "This- is one of the best things that ever happened to Harris burg? I believe it will improve the quality of music and goodness knows that's what we need. 1 go about more than most people and I know what I'm talking ' about. What do you hear? Well, something like, \'When Will Tootsie-Wootsie Sec You Next?'" Immense volume of laugh here, but the doctor continued: "Rag time on second-hand Vlctrolas is what you get in nice homes. Pianos, they don't play them any more: cheap, foolish selections on the play ing machine. Let us change all this. Heal music is what will make some thing of the poor folks in the back alley. Let's cut out 'Tootsie-Wootsie' and have the real thing." Miss Cora Lee 'Snyder, regent of the D. A. It., spoke warmly of the soldier and song, quoting the War Department in its statement that the singing soldier is the better tighter. She pledged the help of her very distinguished society to establish community singing permanently in Harrisburg. The last two speakers were Alfred C. Kuschwa, president oP the Or-- ganists' Guild who offered the sugges tion of installing a fine organ in Harrisburg, perhaps at the new High school about to be built, and Andrew S. Patterson, representing the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Pat terson briefly recounted how the awakening of Harrisburg started in 1902 and promised that the Com merce body would be right back of this movement. Music Cures Boredncss Dr. Freund, last speaker of the evening, told something of his very unusual ancestry, born of a Prussian mother, father a Hebrew, but brought up with the Jesuits. He was born in London and baptized into the English Episcopal Church, but finally married a very charming wife who is a staunch Roman Catholic. He pitched into the real issue of community music and among his> epigrams was this one: "Human be ings will stand everything but being bored." He offers music as a cure for this, something to break up monotony. He pointed out that this nation spends $700,000,000 a year on music, more than all nations of the world together; that we produce the finest pianos, harps and many other instruments. He laid great stress on the point that the "ideals of women will save America even tually." He said we were just begin ning to achieve our musical inde pendence. "We have had no confi dence; wo have been afraid or ashamed to sing. It is time for each one to find out there is a voice in the human body. Hut you cannot get community singing with injection, like a serum. It must start slowly with singing In the public parks. Gradually you will find this com munity growing happier and more wholesome." lie then made Ills allu sions to Dr. Muck and the war. The supper arrangements last evening were in charge of Mrs. Roy (. Cox, who saw that the large com pany was served in easy precision. | The Kurzenknabe orchestra furnish ed delightful music. A Busy Day Dr. Fremiti is having a busy day to-duy. Starting this morning with members of the executive committee of the Community Singing Campaign he visited the Steeiton High school, meeting Superintendent of Schools D. E. McGinnes, Principal Charles S. Davis and William H. Harclerode, director of music, all of whom gave him a hearty welcome. Dr. Freund addressed the pupils of the grammar grades and the High school on "How Music Touches Our Daily Lives" ar.d there was excellent singing by the children accompanied by a line or chestra of twenty pieces. The Moor head Knitting Mill was visited during the noon hour, because there they liave an enthusiastic chorus di rected by Abner Hartman. The sing ing was delightful, several patriotic and war songs being chosen from their new song sheets. Dr. Freund was introduced by George W. Deik er, superintendent of the mill, and spoke charmingly nlong the line of community singing, receiving hearty applause from the large gathering of girls and men. The Rev. Dr. Floyd A. Appleton made a brief prayer and many of the heads of departments and directors had the plensure of greeting Dr. Freund afterward. Joint Club Meeting At the joint meeting this after- noon in Fahnestock Hall of the Civic Club and Wednesday Club with Airs. William I>. Keller presiding, the Wednesday Club chorus directed by- Mrs. Wilbur F. Harris sang two numbers; Mrs. William Henderson, president of the Harrisburg Civic Club, Ka ve a brief talk and Dr. Freund spoke earnestly of the musi cal alliance or which he is presi dent. The longer address was given by Dr. C. F. Iloban, superintendent of the public schools of Dunmore, who spoke on "Pennsylvania's Part in Music," saying in brief: Mr. llolian's address follows in part: "Pennsylvania's eontr'!,uti."n to America's music.! Wli.it a d-.-bt of gratitude we owe to our native sons for what they have givon to the sum total of American muxit-ai accom plishment; for is not their gift the greatest of any state in the Union? The music of a state fa the sum of what its musicians have done, and a careful study of the achievements of the musical geniuses of our soil re veals the pleasing fact that enn sylvania's contribution greater than that of any state in our repub lic • The versatility of the state In music is seen as piov.eer 'n the production of musical instruments' first to take her place an a ri'tslcal center, as when the first opei a, Frye's "Notre Dame de I'ariß," was produced In Philadelphia; first to es tablish singing schools and musical academies to train her musicians; l-irthplace of American folk music, rich and versatile In the work at tempted by her composers; tremen dously successful in chorus singing; notable In the number and success of her artists Pennsylvania has been given a heritage not shared by any other state, a heritage of which every native son should f.el Justly | proud, a heritage that should spur us on to greater effort * * * We school superintendents should encourage the frequent singing of "Hail Columbia" and other standard Pennsylvania compositions. We should ask our I colleges to encourage piustc compo j sitions on the part of their students so that college songs may have a | Pennsylvania setting. We should or- J ganize songfests, and once each year give in every community in the state n program made up exclusively of Pennsylvania compositions. Owe to Our Schools "We owe it to the hallowed mem cries of our dead musicians—to the splendid accomplishments of the liv ing ones—to our system of educa tion—to give music the place it de serves in our public schools. Music i should be part of the course of study of every school district in .our com- | monwealth. Personally, I would j place it next to the three lis. "We define education as the prep- | aration for complete living;. What life is complete without music? At every school entertainment or func tion music has a large place. Can we imagine a churoh service with out it? Is it not the magnet that is invariably used to collect crowds? In peace, it is the joy of nations; in war, the inspiration of soldiers. Through it we give expressions to cur loves, to our hopes and aspira tions, .to our joys and our sorrows. Physical etfort and mental strain ; find relief in music, and it is one of ' Ihe great uplifting influences In out social organization. "Superintendents can do much to | make music a vital factor in their | systems by supporting, encouraging and giving* proper recognition to the supervisor of music and his work. "Given its place in the course of study, pupils should be required to pass music just as they are required to pass other subjects. Proper cred it should be given for music work done in and out of school. It should count toward graduation just as j geology, botany and Latin count. "There should be an orchestra in every school organization. Many dis tricts have them in the grades as well as in the high schools. A band is clearly within the possibilities of i most districts. Where these obtain, j students sholud have extra credits j for band and orchestra work. Need of Music "Every district should have a Vic-1 trola so that the music of the mas ters and the voices of the world's greatest artists may be brought within the hearing of every child. "Let the children experience the Joy of living in the atmosphere which the world's best music creates. "Th,e grade pupils can be gathered together frequently to sing. Through this they can be encouraged to go rut in the community nt Hallowe'en, Christmas and other times to sere nade the people, thus making music serve a great purpose in the com munity. "Community songfests should be held frequently. The initiative should be taken by the schools, but the musical activities of the town should be given a large part in them. This, wherever tried, always brings the schools and the commun . lty into closer relationship. "Superintendents should go on rec ord for the establishment of music in every school district in the state, and the adoption of credits for mu sic work. They should encourage the frequent singing of "Hail Colum fc'ia" and other standard Pennsylva nia compositions. We should ask our colleges to encourage music compo sition on the part of their students, so that college songs may have a Pennsylvania setting, as is true of Goeckel's "Red and Blue" of the University of Pennsylvania, and But [ ler's "Mansfield. Hail!" of the Mans field State Normal School. We should organize community songfests and once each year give in every ' community in the state a program J made up exclusively of Pennsylvania compositions. "If we do these, it is within our . power to make Pennsylvania the . ereatest musical state in this, the greatest of all republics."
