Hung iicr high abovo all others, Do not let them tear her down. Tis the first call ot war, boys, You've hoard it, well as I, You know Just what it means, boys, It moans that some will die. But ob, you'll keep hor waving, Tho proud Red. White and Blue. You wau't stop your tramping, Wo kuow you'ro brave and true. And each must serve his country; And nil must hear the cull, Leaving homo, wife and children, That the nation may not fall.

Dated Medford. Oregon, April V. 1917. MEPF0TCD SPOILS TO TO TIIK YJK'TOKS belong the spoils. It is Rood old democratic doctrine since the days of Andrew Jack son. Hence we see merit rewarded and those who have contributed most to democratic success, handsolnely re membered in 1 lie distribution of plums to the faithful few, despite the fact, that they served the party gods in the liv ery of the parly devils. J. II. Anderson, known to local fame as "Bert" An derson, has been appointed appraiser by the Federal Farm Loan Land board at a salary of $2-100 a year, in grateful appreciation of services rendered tho democratic party during the past six years while chairman of the Jackson county republican committee. As such, Mr. Anderson has been the mainspring of the republican campaign, and lie is now openly rewarded for the steadily increasing democratic majorities under his regime. This pleasing trifle of a $2400 a year job is a slight token of the administration's pleasure for Mr. Anderson's vigor ous campaign of last fall, when he never mentioned the president save to besmirch him. with foul calumny, slimy slander and vulgar vituperation and for his persistent ef forts in peddling salacious scandal about .the chief execu tive of the nation. It may also be regarded as an earnest by the board, of the efforts made by Mr. Anderson to de ride and discredit the federal farm loan bill as a demo cratic bunko game and a fake to skin the unsophisticated farmer out of his vote. , The Medford Sun tries to discredit Mr. Anderson by claiming that his appointment is ducto the political pull exercised by out? S. S. Smith, Mr. Anderson's brother-in-law, with 0. E. Lobdell, of Kansas, a member of the federal loan board. Of course, it must be admitted that the demo cratic party's obligation to Mr. Smith, as a member of j Ihe CI. O. P. State Central Committee and as one of the Hughes' steering committee, is a very weighty, but mani festly not to be compared with the heavy debt owed Mr. Anderson, for aiding in breaking up the republican party. There are, of course, the mutterings of discontent among democrats. They are a hard set to please, these democrats and The Mail Tribune is glad that it is non partisan. They cannot see why the democratic county chairman, endorsed for the same position by the democ racy of Oregon, should lie turned down by the democratic administration and the republican chairman appointed but they forget how much clearer perspective our states men at Washington have. The democrat's part consists in delivering the votes he is not wanted to hold office. In the banner Wilson county of Oregon, under a democratic administration, it has been amply demonstrated no deserving democrat need apply. Mr. Anderson's appointment indicates clearly who the administration thanks for "delivering the goods" and car rying Jackson county for Woodrow Wilson. As republi cans rewarded Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. llanley with lov ing cups for "sa ving Oregon for Hughes," so has Mr. An derson been rewarded by a fat political plum for carrying Jackson county for Wilson. . FOOD SHORTAGE ALARMING. F 001) shortage is one of the vital' problems to be con sidered by the nation. The food problem is serious. AVheat, potatoes and all other crops are shy and prospects bail. Winter wheat estimates show the yield at 7.1.1 per cent, the worst the crop has ever recorded. The government, reports show that there will be no carry-over wheat. There will be none for export. Stocks arc light all over the world. Ftnbargocs have been put upon wheat and flour from South America. There is no accumulation in Wussia. Not only grain and produce, but livestock is scarce. Packer Armour suggests the establishment of meatless days each week and even with this, high prices and fam ine threaten. The administration favors Ihe creation of a. food con troller and Ihe mobilization of food stocks and supplies. Herbert C. Hoover of the Belgian Relief Commission is suggested as controller, and full power will be asked for him. People of the valley and interior country generally should get along with as little meat as possible. They should co-operate by leaving the livestock for shipment abroad and to soldiers in the the more perishable products. Everyone should keep a his own vegetables, keep a cow it possible, and plant every idle acre and every vacant lot. Killing of cows, calves and the female of the species generally should be forbidden by law as waste and extravagance the country cannot afford to tolerate a waste that the future cannot replace.
