At the bnnd concert Friday night when the opening strains of "Dixie" were henrd fully 100 of the audience stood and remained standing during tho entire number. It is pleasing to see respect hIiowii the national nirn in this age of little reverence for all things, and it would be well to have the people remember that tho "Star Spangled Banner" is also a nations! piece, for one night when it was played here, everyone kept their scat, no one had the courage to stand, al though several women figitcd uncom fortably and tried to start the salute, "Dixie" nlways brings forth cheers and the Star Spangled Banner" should have a salute. The band concerts which arc being given every week are proving n suc cess and are greatly enjoyed by big crowds. A band is a great additijn to a city, and Medford has a very good one and every effort should be made to have tho concerts kept up during the pleasant weather.
