RESPECT FOR NATIONAL HYMN.

What do you do when the "Star
Spangled Banner" is played at some
formal occasion? You know, or should
know, that it is your country's ma
tional hymn, and as such should be
respected. Civilians. men and wom-
en-. suffer by comparison with mill
tary men in this matter. True, what
the soldier does is prescribed, but the
rest of us are citizens of this country
as well as he, and should follow his
example.
According to military regulations.
the soldier out of ranks stands at at
tention with headdress on, and sa-
lutes at the last note. If walking, he
stops as soon as he hears the "Star
Spangled Banner" and comes to at
tention in the same way This regu-
lation is not meant to apply to all oc-
casions. An officer or enlisted man is
not expected to rise if he hears a
chance strain at some comic opera
performance
All can do this much. 1t is no
longer the custom to remove the hat.
and besides, women could hardly be
expected to do this anyway. But ev-
eryone should at least stop talking
and stand.

MORE TERRITORY!

Citizens of the United States have
long appropriated, rather bumptiously,
the title American" to themselves.
Many have even dreamed of that day
when the country should grow so as
to make the name an exact fit. The
question of intervention in Mexico
has brought a few of these to the
front
Intervention would inevitably mean
a long and troublesome protectorate
over our neighbor on the south. If
annexation should follow, it would be,
just as inevitably, disaster.
Without a doubt Mexico is a
wealthy, though undeveloped country
Its ranches have tropical fertility and
its mountains are filled with metals.
But its population is the big draw
back. History records many in
stances of a country. swollen with
its own importance trying TO absorb
an inferior race. and every time it has
meant ruin TO both. Let us not have
our country involved in such catas-
trophe.

THE VESTS BARD no MORE.

The poet of the West is no more.
From a funeral pyre built among the
heights of Piedmont foothills, where
he lived in his eyrie, the ashes of
a venerable bard will be cast to Cali
fornia winds. All that is mortal of
Joaquin Miller, poet of the Sierras,
will be known no longer, but the
achievements and distinction of this
remarkable character will linger with
the century.
There are others who extolled the
mighty forests, the rolling fogs, the
changing winds and the Pacific blue,
but none whose inspiration was more
closely linked TO the environment of
nature than his. He lived i'm the great
out-of-doors and inhaled it's atmos-
phere of freedom He was animated
by the might and splendor of his sub
ject However much the note of sad
ness played throughout his writings,
there was also a blithesome optimism
that buoyed and predominated
There will linger a sadness in the
hearts of admirers. A distinctive
figure has passed away, a character
who resisted the encroachments of
civilization. Reared in the wilds, he
could not give up the freedom it
brought He could not enjoy the
cramps of modern city life. Serene
in his modest home, he lived happily
in his declining days. His achieve
ments and memory mark for him be-
fitting cenotaph.

MEN HERE FROM 10 STATES
Travellers From Widely Separated
Places at the Hotels Yesterday,

The names of ten different states
appeared on the registers of Colum-
bia hotels yesterday. Men from New

Pennsylvania and District of Column
bia ate dinner yesterday in this city.
J. Gerslensang of Providence, r. l.,
was the farthest away from home
New York had four representatives
and Chicago six.
This shows that men from many
states can get together in a little in
accessible town like Columbia where
it takes all day to get down here"
said one man yesterday. 1T also
shows that Columbia is a good busi-
ness town, for the most of those here
are travelling salesmen."

Says Stunt Week Is Not Practical.

says STUNT week Is NOT fractlcal.
Editor the Missourian: The pro-
posed Stunt Week at the end of the
school year is about as practical as
having Christmas in July-say July
Is. At that time everyone is think
ing of his summer outing. How
strange it would be to hang up your
stocking then, One could not close
the windows and doors and force
Santa Claus to come down the his
toric chimney.
1t is the same with Stunt Week.
June l sees all the students getting
ready to finish their school work.
complete the examinations and go
home They do not care for the joys
that the stunts in their present loca-
tiOns bring That is the most serious
time of the year. Everyone is busy
and surely if they would get no
pleasure from attending these stunts.
they would only work half-heartedly
at preparing them.
And then there is the student who
must make enough money during the
vacation to bring him back to school
in September One week longer here
delays him one more week at his work
And that week means good deal of
money to many students. 1t may cost
a job for the entire summer.
The sentiment for this proposed
change is almost entirely among the
seniors and the faculty. They should
that they, too, were once
lower classmen. If their hearts reach
out so much toward the alumni, why
don't they entertain with a stunt all
their own. 1t would give them a good
chance to get together for last fare
we'll.
Anyhow, the least they can do is to
give every student a chance to vote
on the question. It's a matter of dol |
lars and cents to many of us here. |
And that is an important thing wher- !,
ever you are. H..

ed resolution of condemnation which he seemed so willing to heap upon somebody. It must have taken him quite a little while to shape that uo so nicely; somebody must have been making a study of politics. But the effort fell fiat.

The result was that those who were trying to throw 1t were burie alive.
 It seems lately that every gold watch or pipe which is presented to anybody is now accompanied with a whole pol1t- Ical speech or a vast report or some kind. If those reports had been com ing forth years ago. there probably would be no call for them today. Many an official, after he is placed in office, becomes very neglectful of the publics interest and the only way he realizes that he has ignored the public is when he is boosted out of office by their re- sentiment

 Most of the insinuations which have been started from certain quarters since the "old guard" has been beaten back have fallen flat, and tho circle of politicians who were wont to style themselves something else have been replaced by an element only interested in civic betterment.
 There is d great deal that might be said upon this subject. but let us hope that somebody has pfof1ted by the se- were public fepfinand administered to those who have failed to listen to the public will, "JUSTtCE."
