Tho editorial or the Mcdford Mall
Trlbuno ot lost evening contained
this sentence: "Never lose faith or
become- discouraged with your honK
town and county, K it is Oregon. '
That la indeed the spirit to apply to
everything that concerns our city,
our state, our conntry.
Courage and faith, coupled with
activity. Is manifested in progression.
Mr. Business Man, Isn't there a pro
gression which does not primarily
Insure the inpourlng of dollars, and
yet products a very real, very Inv
portant and necessary capital?
While it may seem from one view
point that conditions nru discourag
ing, take another and closer look and
ono might seo only a jierlod ot ad
justment eventually terminating and
producing better conditions than be
fore the chemicalization, so to speak.
Perhaps because she does not hear so
much street talk, perhaps because
she may not know Just how things
stand Or perhaps for her own strict
ly feminine reason, "Just because."
the woman takes the more hopeful
view, and although not buying or
selling real estate or building fac
tories and starting pay rolls, en
deavors to promote .expansion ami
progression in those things, wlthou'
which no community can achieve last
ing prosperity. Those who know
anything about women's civic duos
will understand wnat Is meant.
All of which Is a curtain-raiser, is
this article Is supposed to be a re
port ot the lsst meeting ot tho mu
sical department ot tho Greater
Mcdford club, which was a bang-up
booster and get-together affair, ex
cusing idioms.
The program was a distinct depar
ture from the usual, the best thing
about It being the atmosphere ot mu
tual harmony and unity ot thought
nd purpose. Tao subject, "Amerl
can Music," presented by Mrs. Alan
Bracklnrecd, was a strong appeal to
Join tho "Mado In America" move
ment In regard to tho art. The feel
In ir excited by Mrs. Bracklnrecd'
very comprehensive article was ono
of excusable prtdo and aamzement at
the Idea of our own musical re
sources; resources to rich, varied
and plentiful. Quoting from tho
Burgomaster "We got plenty, moro
as plenty, moro as wo could use."
Among other points brought out by
Mrs. Bracklnrced was explanation ot
tho philosophy of ragtime. Thanks
to an article In the Literary Digest,

onjoy popular music to our hearts'

The soul of ragtime Is syncopa
tion, which a musical dictionary de
fines as "a chnngu of rhythm so nf
tected ns to be agreeably confusing.'
Tho notes In syncopated time
seem to be rushing and tumbling In
a passion to gut there before each'
other. Rngtlmn Is Indeed the folk
music ot the United States. To get
no mo piano Just a little ahead ot
"tho other fellow" Is our most no
tlceablo characteristic. The younger
talent ot Mcdford was mostly used
in tho program for Monday after
noon. Miss Hance, Mm. Ln.Mnr, Mr.
Fish and Dr. Howard gave four quar
tet numbers and mado a hit without
half trying. "Miss Gray seemed to
have had an Inspiration, her Inter
pretation of the three MacDownll
numbers wcro artistic and satisfying.
Miss Caroline Andrews In the Cad
man number sang with the expres
sion ono might expect from a worn
nn of 3B, hardly from a girl still
enjoying school day. Tho remain
Ing numbers were readings by Miss
Minnie Jackson, n talented pupil of
Mrs. Wilson, and selections by th
Mcdford Orchestral club. Miss Jac.
son's encore was a clever child solil
oquy by James Whltcomb Riley. Mrs.
Isaacs Introduced Uie orchestra In a
short talk, disclosing Its purpose and
relation to expansion In music In our
city. The program closed with the
Star Spangled Banner, played by the
orchestra, tho audience rising and
"Joining In on tho chorus."

"The Proml-ted l.tuut" by Mary litln.
Pub. by Houghton Mltflln Co.
In his speech nn ItnmlRrntUm some
years nr.o, Senator Ilevorldgo ll
that America had he-camu such u
wonderful nation because "It Is mado
up of tho optimism ot tho old world."
Mary Antln In u most Interesting
way, follows, step by step, the phrase
of nn old world optimist, who still
has enough energy loft, after gener
ations of political, and religious op
pression, to desire to better his own
lire and that of hla children. Ho
comes to America Tho Promised
Land "whore opportunity waits on
ambition," and through the story one
can see how some of America's best
citizens nre made.
It take uu Mused, unhappy orphan
to appreciate tho kindness and ndv.nn
tages ot a good hemu: and It tnkes
tho adopted child from n stifling old
world government to appreciate the
freedom ami advantages of America.
The native horn American Is woeful
ly lacking In patriotism In compar
ison with these steerage products,
who have fled from persecution, pov
erty and Injustice Id a country that
Ignores nn Inequality of men that
utters nil of her host gifts to those
who nre willing to strive for thorn.
Wo Americans are proud of our In
comparable government, wo may feel
a thrill at the sight of our national
emblem, we may look with pride buck
over tho pages ot our history, but
do many of us feel really feel
what this little Jewish girl felt when
sho first heard of George Washington
and other heroes that fought for the
freedom that wo tiro enjoying today?
"What more could American ghe
a child? Ah, much mure! As I
read how the patriots planned tho
revolution, and tho women gave their
sons to dlo In battle, and the heroes
led to victory, and tho rejoicing
people set up the republic. It dawned
on ma gradually what una meant by
'My Country.' Tho people all desir
ing noble things, and striving for
them togethor, defying their oppres
sors, giving their lives for each other
all this It was that made '.My
Country.' " I knew that one
could say 'My Country and feel It. ns
one felt God. 'fho coun
try was for alt citizens and ( was a
cltlzon and when "vistood ul ,0 BmB
'America' I shouted the words with
all my might. I was In very earnest
proclaiming my love for my now
found country."
In contrast for tho expressed -love
ho hold for Amorlcn, Is the resent
ment that she harbors for Russia.
"Kven a child." ho says, "would
would know how to huto the flag that
wo were forced on pain of sovuro
penalties to hoist abovo our house
tops in colobratlon of tho advent of
ono of our oppressors. And as It
was with the counrty and tho flag,
so It was with heroes of war. Wo
hated' the uniforms of the soldier to
tho last brass button. On tho pur
son of the gentile It was tho symbol
of trnnny, on the person of tho Jew
ft was tho emblem of shame."
Tho first half or this book by Mary
Antln gives an Interesting account or
Uvea or tho Jews who live "boynud
the pale," in northern Russia. The
n
habits, (ho euslonin mid the religion
among these people are explained In
detail,
To the ambitious llttln Jewish girl,
thirsting ror knowledge, who wits de
nied nn education In Russia, tho pub.
He schools und libraries or America
appealed more than any other thing
In her adopted land. What eared
sho that Iter homo In this wonderful
now land was In tho slums sho
could get bonks to tend, und learn
tho same thing lit school that the
wealthiest girls In tho laud learned.
Her descriptions of the slums nnd
tho uninviting .tenement that shel
tered her, and tho studies' of the
people who were bur neighbors In
these plnrou nro entirely different
from tho sordid pictures thnt wo linvo
had from other pens. And we realize
that they nro tuld by an "Insider"
and not by a mere tpectutor. Hho
sees the conditions thnt taint, both
from a hyglonle and moral view
point, and In paying a high tribute
to the Salvation Army nnd the settle
ment workers, she, who uuilerstnuds
tho need of these poor creatures of
tho tenement districts, gives some
advice to those people who nro ear
nestly trying to belter conditions that
Is worthy or grnvo consideration, in
a plea ror more public piny-grounds,
she sa)B. "Tho City Father provide,
soap and water for tho slums In the
form of oxcolont schools, kindergar
tens and branch libraries; thoy
cleanse and discipline the children's
minds, but their bodies they pitch
Into tho gutter. Tho
body Is tho nursery of the soul. Tho
Instrument of our moral develop
ment. We are certainly
not taking tho moral to lioorl when
we try to make a hero out of the boy
by such foreign appliance as gram
mar and algebra., While utterly des
pising the fittest Instrument for his
uplirtlng the body's own body."
"Tho Promised lnnd" U surely nn
extraordinary book. At first It
seems to be nothing more than the
slmpln story of a Jewish girl who
ennui to America. You reud of her
Ideas, her life, hor ambitions and her
education nnd find thorn so entertain

)ou 1invn completed tho story Hint

Have you.ecr noticed tlmt a for

Hugllsh language, after he has over

cent, speaks a purer and bettor Kug

or Kngllsh do? With on unconscious
careful selection of words each
thought In this book Is expressed
simply and forcefully tho result of
knowing tho value or common words.
The authoress had something to tell,
and shn told It so well nnd without

paragraph ho will be curious to road

up of the past life und tho remlii
