Is It q Hymn?

Editor the Missourian: In your is
sue of February 21 appears an editorial
on proper observance of the playing
and singing Of the "Star Spangled
Banner" l agree perfectly with the
sentiment expressed but want to put
two questions for information. name
ly: Is the Star Spangled Banner"
hymn? If SO, is it the national
hymn?
DO not misunderstood my motive in
writing this. am not playing critic
but seeking information. We teach
our children here to give America"
the recognition you ask for the "Star
Spangled Banner" Are we wrong?
Let me congratulate the staff of the
Missourian and the School of Jour-
nalism on the paper you are getting
out. I read it only less carefully than
the Kansas City Star and our High
School students read it more than
they do any other paper.

take a human life. This is the real
object of punishment. Crime prevent,
ed should measure the worth of a
law; not crimes punished.
Society must make her members
understand that she will permit no
murders. She must place no prem
ium on taking a human life. For this
reason, the state should never make
the criminals life more sacred than
the lives of his victims. Capital pun
ishment is not given in a spirit of
vengeance, but merely as a deterrent
factor in social control.
Hanging is considered by many too
barbarous a form of punishment.
Perhaps a less brutal form could be
found that would have the same effect.
Arthur c. Benson, an English essayist,
says Of hanging:
"A man at such a crisis of his fate
is not a thing to exult and gloat over,
whatever his crime might have been;
and l believe that the solemn barbar-
ty of the whole proceeding has an
entirely debasing and degrading effect
lpon the public mind" H. l.. +.
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1913-03-05
NO..

In a case of homicide, would any
punishment other than death "im-
press people with the fact that the
state stands for the sacredness of hu-
man life, and thus be a stronger in
fuence against all homicide?" AT
first thought, a person will usually
give an affirmative answer. But
when one thinks of the indefinite and
innumerable things involved in the
question, he is apt to put some quail
fications to this.
Capital punishment has been abol-
ished in several European countries

Orchestra is the finest body of musi-
clans in the world. Director Zach,
former member of the famous or

st. Louis, and has made his orchestra
a tremendous credit to that city.
When first heard Mr.. Zach direct
the orchestra, 1 was struck by the
musicianly reading of the score, the
majestic volume and noble quality of
tone, the precision of the attack and
more than all else by the undercur-
