It means we must fight again, boys,
For our flag and keep her there.
She's an honored banner, waving,
Keep her colors From the ground.
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.
Thro' hattlecloud she's waving,
Wo ciui see her, well as you,
Slio's a-rlppllng out her colors,

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.
