Dick Posey's Poem
Captivates Editors
He
The hit of the Editorial Associa
tion banquet at Medford Saturday
evening vbb the ptfem written and
read by Dick Posey (R. P. Camp
bell) of Ashland. Dick Posey put
the poem across in his usual inimita
ble style after a most humorous in
troduction. C. E. Gates, who acted
as toastmaster, in introducing Dick
Posey said: "If he lived in the east
they would hail him as a great poet,
but out here we call him friend."
Mr. Posey's poem was met with a
Btorm of applause and he was forced
to respond to an encore, replying
with a brief little humorous poem of
his which literally "brought the
house down." Mr. Campbell's poem,
"The Defunct Editor," follows:
Gentlemen, a toast we offer to this
body, virile, true,
Ve bring the benediction of our
grateful hearts to you.
Tou sway the souls of mortals by the
dictates of your pen,
You lift the drooping spirit to the
planes of hope again.
You wield the last of Justice and
soothe our sorrows deep,
Rejoice with ub who do rejoice and
weep with us who weep.
Oar Oregon jou'se shaping to a ful
ness, rich and grand;
Our proud Btate's hope reposes in the
hollow of your hand.
We toast your worthy president, the
soul of Enterprise,
By the magic of his pencil he moulds
men's destinies.
There's no spot on hiB escutcheon, no
stain its beauty mars,
As he smiles across the tables of a
thousand dining cars. . '
And when cares of state oppress him
and fickle Fate does scoff,
He sadly strops his razor and shaves
his must a che off.
The whole world gasped and shud
dered as he claimed his honors
due,
When he dived from off the Brooiu
lyn bridge and split the air in
two.
And your worthy vice, George Put
nam, roosting on a powder keg
He must sit there "watchful wait
ing" until Villa breaks a leg.
His pen is mightier than his sword,
when he writes a billet doux.
He does not miss one single thrust,
but stabs' a heart clean through.
We mourn his absence sadly, but we
have our own George P.
Though they differ in their likeness
they are as like as like can be.
One angles for the fair sex with his
chocolates and charms,
The other sneaks down to Bear creek
with his pockets full of worms.
He
And oh! you secretary, he' is called
the farmers' friend,
His paper crows and cackles the
achievements of the hen.
exudes a rich effulgence when
the roses get dead ripe,
mourns a long-stemmed Dutch
man, but he loves your Mickey
pipe.
no 13 uig aim tan auu uauuBuwe anu j
winning with his charms,
He wears roses on his bosom and !
rose girls on hiB arms. j
Dr. Ford, your faithful chaplain, j
steadfast to his dying day i
His broad shoulders bear the burden
of your naughty sins away.
! And when life's radiant vintage goes
flat, and you grow scrappy,
He gets up an' expedition and brings
i you all home happy
And when the shadows lengthen and
you've quaffed life's fountain
deep,
And "dropped your draperies 'round
you" for that long, unbroken
Bleep,
Then hll crank up his "tin Liz
zie," tuck you in, and off he
flies,
Sweeping you up In glory to those
sanctums in the skies.
Dick Posey.

WHEN THE BLl'EJAT STARTS TO
RUN.
(By the Movie Man.)'
In dear old southern Oregon,
Where the movies are now being
taken
Of the scenery and the cities,
To send east for to waken
Up the interest of the people.
Who might help make things hum.
In dear old southern Oregon
When the bluejay starts to run
In dear old southern Oregon,
Where things have started anew.
The easterner has come to pull,
And the old-timer is pulling too,
There's a light ahead a:shlning,
For another roundup sure to come.
In dear old southern Oregon,
, ' When the bluejay starts to run.
In dear old southern Oregon,
There's room for young and old.
Those who get out and dust
And don't let the soil get cold.
If those now here don't hustle,
Newcomers will have the fun,
In dear old southern Oregon
When the bluejay starts to run.
In dear old southern Oregon,
In nineteen seventeen,
New life is going to come
And rap the dead ones on the
"bean." So if you wish to hold your ground
And be here when there's mon',
Boost dear old southern Oregon
When the Bluejay starts to run.
