NEW CONCERN MAKES RAPID GROWTH
Tafhhert Ylnrrnt, Mate Organiser,
Telia Vhot Hna Been n4
'; What U Ksnretea 'to
Be Done.
The result of the r.amrty elevator bill,
passed by the legislature, according to
Cuthbert Vincent, strit organiser for the
la that at the bra-Inning of the year only
three of the elevators built by association
of farmers wer-j without trackage1 facili
ties. These were at Hlldreth, Cambridge'
and at Howard. He says:
The Ramsey bill was put through, the
, legislature In the Interest of associations of
farmers who wished to start co-operative
elevators, but who could get neither loca
tlona on the right-of-way of the railroads
iiwi ffvui wains vivvaiurs DUlll Oil PH-
vate property. The bill became an active
law of the state In the' early' summer and
, provides 'that railroads must give locations
. for such stations as they do for station of
the elevator 'trust, and that they must
give equal facilities. No station of leas than
' li.OOOt cost, however,' is considered.
"The law never has been tested, but the
railroads have ' come to comply In irioet
cases wfoh Its provisions. When the statute
besm effective In June there were sev
enty associations In' the state. Either be-
cause each Of these wanted another tn
make the teat or because the representa
tives of the trust made them believe thft
. they would be foolish to take the matter
? up, nothing , was done. ' ; In ! October the
' Farmers Co-operative Shipping association,
which hss Us headquarters in Kansas City,
t and does business Ip Oklahoma,, Kansss
and Nebraska, took' possession of a station
at Upland, Neb., which was off the rlghtr
in nmrosa. i ne association 0'.
piled for switches and a sidetrack and was
. refused. It at once filed papers In a suit.
Including the question ' of an elevator at
Blaine, where, under the law,1 It demanded
t' a location. The suit was" to have been
beard In September, but the road sents Its
officials to Kansas City and Investigated,
me standing of the 'association, with the
litigation was dropped and there haa been
I none since, and the railroads have seen fit
to comply, at least In part, with the pro
visions of the statute.')' - 1
Elevators, at Other Places.-
t Associations of farmers have elevators
at a number of places In the state, among
these being Eustis. Albion, Kearney, Cam
, bridge. -Mlftden, ' Harvard, Hlftreth, Axtell
and Indlanola. These are single elevators
having connection with no other. The
Farmers' Co-operative" association has five
stations In this state, the first being Up
land. Preparations are about complete to
build at Havelock and at two other place's
funds ara being subscribed. The Co-operative
association holds a membership In the
.Omaha Gralni exchange.
"About a dosen associations,' said. Mr.
' Vincent, "completed organisation and
built In Nebraska during 19PI All of the
elevators built by farmers during the
year except that, at Indlanola were re
fused location by ths railroads and were
built on private ground. A .few of them
have not got' side-tracks and have to
haul; their grain In wagons to the cars

been slow, -owing to opposition. In-places

perhaps not unnaturally refused .to.con
. alder any proposition until the capital was
all In hand. ; ... -
Tii co-operative "association has ,' not
'made- the progress In, this state that It
- has In the south. So far. the local as
sociation In the towns have not joined
us. Most of them wore originally, formed
with the Idea .of being .member of . the
line, ""'btlt as they enlarged," their stock
holders In forming he company and build
ing their elevators, they have, taken In
men who were averse to the co-operation,
' either from lack of knowledge or for other
reasons. Sooner or later, however, we erf
pact them to Join us." Single elevators are
at too great a ' disadvantage' against th
string of elevator with terminal clean-ting,-mixing,
scouring -ami polishing houses
, operated by the large grain companies.
Tbra and Now. ' ,v !
'Ten' and fifteen years ago many co
operative farmers' elevator were built In
s the state, but today there I only one of
, ,thse which has not, failed, been cold, or
become a member 'of the trust and that
vne aurvivsu v'I inrougn int circumstance
of railroad competition.. Local Independ
ent companies are sure ' to .fall. .. in the
'first plax-e, each has to Install, the ex
pensive cleaning machinery which the com
panies operating line have to Install
only In their terminal house. Then they
tui,ve to employ expensive men, wh(e their
competitors have thesa, .only at the . one
station, ,They have no representatives at
the big markets and) fpr .another thing,
practically all .the grain grown about one
town Is of the same grade, either all good
or all poor, and the single, house has no
chance of mixing qualities as th lines, of
elevators can, and so lose much profit.
.'Tito old companies have a spit against
th Farmers' Co-operative 'Shipping as
sociation because it works on the line
sysrsm a they hav 'done and endanger
their existence. The organisation began
buslnea July I, 190J. with ons elevator In
Oklahoma and has grown until In that
territory and In Kansas and Nebraska It
Is now running nineteen ' stations and is
preparing' to open -up fifteen other.' Jts

POPE'S EDICT ON CIIOIIUIUSIC

and Koi, Others,
CARDINAL GIBBONS DOES NOT FAVOR IT
Pies X Wants l.ltorglral Text Snag

as It Is lit nooks and Profane
Mnslo Excloded from
' ' 'Chorea. '''
'- . . - ' . -
. Th recent edict of Pope Flue X against
the present manner of music In the Roman
CathoHc Vorld and against women singers
in the choirs, while It applies with ,more
particular force to certain countries of Eiij
fope. Is yet of great interest to all Catholic
churchmen In this country. The document
lays , on th bishops of the church the
charge of changing the mualo of the serv
ices along the lines which It names, but the
cardinal vicar's letter of transmittal con
stitute an actual order fpr action on'y on
the bishop of Rome The churches of the
Omaha diocese of course look to Bishop
Scannell, and have a yet received no in
formation except what has beem published.
It I anticipated that little If any change
will be mad in church music here.
' The pope wishes to reinstate in the
church services the Oregortan chants and
Roman polyphony, .as much of the music
now In use 1 u flaunted In character to the
purposes of worship.. r--
"Btnoe modem music," the decree says,
"has risen particularly to serve profane
uses, greater care must be taken In regard
to It fn order that the musical composi
tions of modern style -which are admitted
to the Church may contain nothing profane
and bo free from reminiscences and motifs
adopted In the theaters."
The following Is taken from th edict:
Part of tho. Edict
The liturgical text must be sung as It Is
In the books, without alteration or Inversion
of (he words, without undue repetition,
without breaking syllables, and alwaya in a
manner intelligible to the falthtui who
listen.
The different part of the mass and the
ofltce must retain, even musically, that par
ticular concept and form which ecclesi
astical tradition has assigned-to tnem, and
which is admirably expressed in the Gre
gorian chant. "
With the exoeptlon of th melodies proper
to the celebrant at the altar and to the
ministers, which must be always sung only
In the -Gregorian chant, and without the ac
companiment of tho organ, all the rest of
the liturgical chant belongs to tho choir of
lev! tea, and therefore singers in church,
even when they are layman, are really tak
ing the place of the ecclesiastical choir.
Hence -the music rendered by them must, at
least for, the greater part, -retain the char-,
acter of choral music.
By this it is not to be understood that
solos re entirely excluded. But soU sing
ing should never pretUirnlnate in such a
wsy as to have the greater part of the
liturgical chant excluded- in that manner;
rather should It have the character of hint
or a- melodic projection and -be strlct'y
bound up with tho rest of the choral com
position. , '
On the same or! n dpi It follows that sing
ers In church have a real liturgical office,
and that therefore women, as being In
capable of exercising Such offlcey cannot be
admitted to form part. of the choir or of the
musical chaiel. Whenever, then, it ts do
aired to employ ,the acute voices of so
prahos and confaltos, these parts must be
taken by boys, according to the most an
cient usage of th church. - '
Although the, music proper to the church
la purely vocal mus(e, music with th ac
companiment of the cgarf is also permitted.
In some special eases,, within due limits
and within the proper regards, other Instru
ments may bo al owed, but never without
the special license of the ordinary, accord
ing to prescription of the caerlmonlale
epieooporum. ' ' . , .
Tiie employment of. the piano. Is forbidden
Id oburchas Is alsd that of noisy or friv
olous Instruments such-a drums, cymbals,
bells and the like. t . .'-,
It to strictly forbidden to havs bands play
In church, and only In a special case and
with the consnt of the ordinary wilt It be
permissible to admit a number of wind In
struments, limited, -judicious and propor
tioned to the tlxe of the place-provided the
composition and accompaniment to be exe
cutidbe written in a grave and -"ttab.
style; and similar in all- respects to that
proper to the- organ-
- Cardinal Gibbons Batlsed.
Cardinal Gibbons Is quoted as saying that
American music is as good aa any other;
and that If the .church ahould return today,
as a large number of people have desired,
to the' ancient Gregorian chants, It would
be going back to music in a primitive, un
developed state; and that in music, aa In
ot.her ' things, the church found that It
must be progressiva to live.
Father P. A. McGovern of 8t. Phllo
roena's cathedral is inclined tovthlnk that
the change outlined ar not Intended so
much for the American aa for the foreign
churche and that it would be very diffi
cult to make them In this city. He con
sidered that It would be very hard to get
enough men to sing the Gregorian chants,
a It seeded many voices, also that the
churche had not th money to farm uch
Choirs, and that th women singer now
furnishing th music, largely, sang with
out remuneration and 'rendered the music
now ung much, mora acceptably than any
but an exceptionally good boy-choir.
Father P. J. Judge. 6n the contrary, was
pleased with the proposed Chang.
"ft Is certainly a good thing," he said.
' The enlightened and advanced musicians
of the church have been advocating this re
turn for more than a quarter of a cen
tury' and It la only at this day that the
pop propose to enforce It. Tho music
of the church In some place has become
what Is really a scandal. This Is more
particularly In - Europe. . This music has
crept . In ; gradually, tq .. pleas thl and
that singer. Th priests seeing that It
pleased certain people hv allowed It. you
may say, for th sak of peace. With the
Gregorian- chants th congregation can
again take part In the singing. The "words
being in Latin,' it. Is -not so noticeable to
all, but In many compositions a word la
sometime repeated many times, the syl
lables divided and other thing done which
very much interfere with th Idea of
worship. Th Ratisbon was the edition
most used and from which has sprung th
many erroneous- editions of the chants.
Th Boleseme Is a true reproduction. Th
Benedlctinea under Leo XIII revived these
chants. In my church w have had a boy
choir for almost . two years and there Is
another In St. Peter's. When women and
young men are In the choir, there la a
tendency toward Inattention In th choir
loft, which ha become byword." ,
