Last week was celebrated the centenary of a song which is seldom heard now, but which makes a univer sal appeal to the hearts of those who hear it. Both the words and music are o f tho most touch ing quality Madame Patti and other prima donnas o f the first rank, would use it for a final encore, and no matter what fine pieces had preceded, none re ceived heartier applause than this simple song. When it was finished tears were in the eyes o f most o f the listeners. “ Home, Sweet Home!” wherever there was an English speaking audi ence this was a sure favorite. It would be difficult to decide which made the tenderer appeal, the pathos of the words or the haunting melody o f the music. By a happy coincidence the words were composed by an American and the music by an Englishman. Thus it stands for American-Anglo collaboration. Especially did the song touch the hearts of those who were away from home, a number of which would be sure to be in an audi ence. The history of the song is most romantic. John Howard Payne, who never had a home wrote the words, and Sir Henry Howe Bishop, the first professor o f music the University o f Ox ford ever had, the music. This was based on one of his earlier works, a “ Sicilian Song. “ Payne and Bishop met in London. Bishop wanted a song for his musical play, "C lari,” or “ The Maid o f Milan,” and Payne did not disdain as the motif of his work a suggestion of homo sentiment that composition al ready contained. So the words were prompted in part by the melody. Its success was phe-1 nominal, for more than 300,000 copies were quickly sold. A n d ; until very lately its popularity; never decreased, thus testifying! to its intrinsic merit. The New York Herald fittingly observes: “ Certainly Payne and Bishop did not produce a masterpiece in poetry or music. But they im parted to their work something that many masterpieces lack. It makes a direct appeal to the deepest emotions o f men and women. Did Payne think o f his wandering life and turn with special longing to the little house at East Hampton when he wrote the words? Did he imprison that desire in his verse? Was the pen o f Bishop guided by a desire to put into the original “ Sicilian Song" some of the genuine life blood of honest sentiment?” NOT C L A C K A M A S N E V .'S , T H U R S D A Y , M A Y TOBACCO o f the compulsory school bill in the last election, To both Irian and school bill he is utterly op posed. The N ews is a small pa per and does not pretend to lead public opinion, but its editor pleads not guilty to the above charge. He voiced his objec tions to the klan and their meth ods, and was pronounced against the school bill, so much so that those who favored it, protested to him that as there was only one paper in the town, he was taking an undue advantage. B accalau reate S ervic e The baccalaureate service for the graduating class of the Esta cada high school was held in the High School auditorium on Sun day night at 8 o’clock. Mrs Har ry Kitching and a choir of voices furnisht-d the vocal music, and Ted Ahlberg accompanied by Mr3. Ahlberg, rendered a beau tiful setting o f “ Lead Kindly- Light. ” The sermon, which was on “ Character Building,” was preached by the Reverend A. DeMoy who based his discourse on the parable o f the wise and foolish men, one who built his house on a rock and the other on the sand. He gave some very pertinent advice to the gradu ates and closed by putting the question to thorn as to what kind of a foundation they were build ing in the formation o f char acters? The Rev. H. W. Mort pronounced the benediction at the close. 1923.
