'OF THE LIBRARY
OF CONGRESS
JgffihlH report, consisting of 164
pjtggstof text and 23 illustrative
'facsimiles of raro early versions and
manuscripts, presents tho results of
an InvotlgatZon mado by the Division
of Music of tho Library of Congress
into the origin and development of
-r V- M V 1 I . . 1 ..I 1 1 -
iour.oi our national ana pairiouc
songs. ' Practically, nil tho existing
literature- haB boon subjected to crit
ical examination, with a view to so
curing as far as possible, a corroct
version of both text and music, tho
necessity for such having long boon
apparent, nnd especially urged upon
President Itoosovolt, at whoso sug
gestion this investigation was Instl
tutod.
In almost ovcry caso somo lntor
estlng questions wore oncountorcd.
tho only excoptlon bolng tho Rev.
Samuol P. Smith's "America." But
oven horo tho dato of tho first timo
it was Bung la public has boon
brought Into question: whether it
was on July 4th, 1832, at tho Park
street church, Boston, or on a pro
vlous occasion at tho Bowdoln
streot church In tho samo city.
Tho 'llov. Mr, Smith wroto so
many- autograph copies of IiIb hymn
'with Buch unvarying uniformity of
toxtj as'to give no opportunity for
dlfferenco of opinion. Tho origin of
tho music is not touohod upon in
this' roport, slnco it has boon so ably
dlBCueacd' by European investigators
A cluo to tho literature of tho sub
ject' Ib afforded by tho blblogrnphy.
It la 1 pointed out, however, that
it is hardly fair to connidcr tho inn
aio.. as borrowed, for whllo tho air
prpporly belongs to tho English na
tional nnthom, it was nono tho less
n 'heritage of tho English colonics in
America, and that It was ho consid
ered' Is clearly shown by tho groat
mimborof Bongs wrltton to tmft tho
music during and Immediately after
tho Revolution.
Tho circumstances attending tho
writing of "Tho Star-Spangled Ban
nor" havo novor boon tho subjoot of
any controvorfly, slnco tho narratlvo
rests on information furnished by
Key hlmsolf. Two Interesting ques
tions ,havo, however, arisen: how
. camo tho wordB to bo woddod to tho
air "To.Anncroon In Heaven": and
whore wns tho song first sung in
public. Both of thoso nro jllscusaod
at conBidorablo length in tho rqport
witki abundant citation of original
sources, illustrated by facsimile ro
productious of manuscripts and raro
earjy Imprints.
Not only tho toxt of "Tho Btnr
Spanglod Bannor" but Its music Is
Hung nnd plnyod with notlcoablo dlf
foronces, In ono caso as mnny nu
fourteen variations In the toxt woro
noted, A comparison of gong boohs
now and old bIiowb that tho melody
has uudorgono tho usunl process of
pollening and modification such ns
takos placo, elthor for hotter or
wqrso, with all folk, traditional, and
patrtotlo Bongn. How dcslrnblo it Is
for musical nnd other reasons that
at loaat tho molody of a national
song should havo somo stability and
uniformity Is olenrly shown by tho
groat numbor of variations notod In
tho report. First a comparison Is
nmdo botwoon tho melody ns It ap
pears In tho Vocal Enchantress,
1783, tho earliest version In tho Li
brary of iCongmm, and tho vorslon
used for Pnlno's "Adams and Llbor
ty" In tho American Musical MIscol
luuy, 170S, nnd with tho vorslon In
tho Baltimore Musical Mlseollnny,
113,04, facsltullo reproductions or
each of thoso oarly vorslons bolng
provided. Thon twolvo rocont song
books, published botweon 1902 nnd
1900, selector at random, nro com
pared with John Philip Sousa'a "Na
tional, Patriotic and Typical Airs of
all Lands," 1890, compllod "by nu
thorlty" for uso In tho Unltod Statoa
Navy. Tho rosult Is not lotts sur
prlalng than Interesting nnd clearly
ludlontus tho need of somo uniform
ity nnd stnbllty.
"Hall Columbia" was wrltton In
1798 at tho Unto of tho troublowlth
Franco. It mado a strong nppoal to
tho patriotism of tho country and,
eoutalutng no allusions to either
Franco or England, became very
popular with all parties nnd soon
dovolopod Into a full-tlodgod natloal
song. It possoHftoH ono point of dis
tinction ovor both "Tho Star-Span-lqd
Bannor" and -'America" In that
both words and music were pro
duced In tho United States. Tho au
thor, Joseph Hopklntton. doeorlbod
tho circumstances which led to tho
composition of his poenv In a lottor
written August 24. 1840. to tho Uov.
Rufus W. Grlswold and printed In
Tho Wyoming Bard, Wllkesbarro,
Pa., and reprlntod In this report.
Consldorabol space Is dovoted to an
examination of tho claims of two
oarly American composers to whom
tho composition of tho air, "Tho
President's March," has boon attrlb
utcd, and in connection with this
subject It Is Interesting to note that
a fortunato find of somo sheets of
old muBlc in a recent purchase by
tho Library of Congress has placed
tho nuestlon practically beyond nu
reasonable doubt.
Tho music of "Hall Columbia"
has suffered oven more changes than
"Tho Star-Spangled Bannor." A
comparison of tho air as printed In
the samo recent song books that
woro used in the study of "Tho
Star-Spangled Bannor" shows a
most deplorable stato of affairs.
Moro than half of tho twenty-eight
bars of which tho song consists show
somo variation.
"Yankee Doodlo" Is tho humorous
member of this group of songs. It
began probably as a march timo to
wh'ch doggerel verses woro from
timo to timo fitted, but theso havo
all droppol Into practical disuse, so
that now it is to all intents and pur
poses a purely Instrumental pleco.
Its history was a perfect mazo of
conflicting stories, which required
moro spneo in tho report to elucidate
thnn was needed for tho other three
songs put together. Incidentally and
as a preliminary tho meanings of
tho words YankeO Doodlo nro inves
tigated, and while tho result arrived
at Ib not absolutely certain, it Ib
moro than moroly probablo. Tho
samo cannot bo said of tho tune; its
origin aftor tho moat caroful exam
ination of tho many differont stories
still remain a matter of doubt. It
Is clear, howover, that a tune nt first
played In dorlslon of tho "Provin
cials" was ultimately adopted by
them as a national air.
Tho verses sung to tho tune in tho
oarly days woro many and various,
nnd pomiltted of endless Interpola
tion. Tho most popular set, "Fa
thor and I wont down to camp,"
havo boon fixed nlmost beyond doubt
to a definite time and place, al
though tho author still remains un
known.
It Is thus apparent that whllo tho
ronort Is not a' nomilar history; It
win furnish a roady answor to most
of tho quostlons that are likely to
come up In. connection with our
nntonnl airs.

A movement is on foot to organ
ize tho Angora goat ralsors of tho
Northwest Into an association simi
lar to tho organizations maintained
by other livestock breeders, says the
Dalles Observer.
The thousands of good, fertile
acres in Western Oregon, lying Idle
for "the want of clearing, are becom
ing moro and more appreciated as
tho price of Improved land goes up.
Tho value of the goat In the clearing
up process and yielding a handsome
profit from his back at tho samo
time is only Just beginning to bo
understood.
The advance in tho price of mo-
ha'r; the new uses of mohair in tho
textile world; tho establishment In
Portland of tho largest mohair mill
In the West all of theso things are
bolng noted by tho Angora breeders
nnd aro serving as an incentive to
organize an association, so that
somo concerted action may bo taken
on matters affecting the goat indus
try. This business Is the purpose of
this movement.
Saturday, January 8, 1910, at
Dallas, Oregon, a meeting will bo
held to discuss plans for the propos
ed organization. It is expected that
most of the leading goat men of
Oregon will attend. At this time,
tho advisability of resuming the an
nual goat shows in Dallas will com
up for consideration. The meeting
will bo hold at 1 o'clock In tho aftor
noon, nnd It is hoped that every
goat breeder In tho Willamette val
ley will elthor be present or will
Bend a letter approving the organi
zation of an association.
James Ennls, an old soldier, was
found last Tuesday in a starving
condition under a tree on tho west
shio of the Wllltmetto river, jtist
opposito Sellwood. Tho old man
wns almost frozen, having no shel
ter but a few slabs of bark he had
managed to pllo against a log to
ward off tho rain. Although abso
lutely penniless and without food he
seemed quite IndepOndont, and
would not think of becom'ng a coun
ty charge. Ho could not bo per
suaded to leave his crude camp, bo
the people of Sellwood have mado
him as snug ns possible, ponding an
application to havo him removed to
the So'dlers' Homo at Roseburg.
James Ennls has trapped for a
living along tho banks of the Wil
lamotto for 50 years or more, al
though he was at ono time a mem
ber of tho pioneer police force of
Portland. He fought Indians in the
Rogue River and Nez Perce wars,
and according to thoso who knew
him, mado a good record. He never
applied for a pension, be'ng too
proud to ask asslstanco even from
tho government, which holds out its
hands to its old soldiers. He will,
therefore, have difficulty In getting
Into tho Soldiers' Home, as he took
no care of his record and lost his
discharge many years ago. His age
is 77 years.
Tho old soldier expresses himself
as deeply grateful, but says he nev
er will consent to go to the county
poor farm, as a pauper. Ho feels as
though he is entitled to shelter In
the Soldiers' Htfme, but if denied
admlss'on, will struggle on support
ing himself by trapping until the
end.
