PRESIDENT 0xNARD IN
CARlcATURE AND EDITORIAL.


Beet sugar and the Oxnards have
been prominent features In national at
fairs during the past few months. A
strong. brave fight was made for the
continuation Of the protection promised
the beet sugar industry and the right
won. While the contest is over for a
time In the halls OF congress. the
newspapers have not stopped. In a
late issue OF the Chicago Chronicle is
cartoon entitled "The New Man in
Charge" II represents the well known
Republican elephant &. o. p, with Han
ma and Roosevelt seated on the rear.
big basket OF packages OF beet sugar
hanging on the elephants tusks. la
beied. 1.-THE full sugar bowl" THE
Empty Dinner Pail'' being tied to the
tail OF the noble animal But the most
prominent figure on the elephant is a
man seated between the massive ears
holding n pair Of sugar tons on which
is the word "oxnard." A placard on
the elephants side reads: Chang
ed Hands" All OF which is surely n
tribute to Mr.. oxnard's ability to care
for the needs of the industry with
which his name has been associated
from the beginning.
About the came date Harper's Week.
ly comes to our desk with an article
regarding Tracy. the Pacific coast ban
dit. After speaking OF Tracy's Won
derful success In Guiding the officers.
the article says:
THE mans audacity Is consummaie:
He shoots very accuatc with n ~ re-
vo!vcr and is reported to have plenty
o. ammunition. Audacity. courage and
ammunition. taken In combination with
modern weapons. can do surprising
things. There was oxnard. Think OF
what he accomplished. And here Is
Tracy with n thousand men after him.
and his death month overdue"
Coming suddenly upon the name of
oxnard In an article devoted to Tracy
Is somewhat startling. II Tracy's cx-
ecutivc ability and rcsourccfulncss had
been put to rs good use as Mr.. oxnard's
he might now be one OF the captains
Of industry instead OF hunted fugi-
tive.

Col. Jas A. Loekhart is being generally
talked Of as candidate for the legisla-
ture on the Republican ticket That he
would make an able representative and
be credit to tho people Of otero county
all who know tho Colonel will readily
admit Tho only question seems to be
whether his extensive business interests
will permit him to accept such a nominal
ton. There Is little doubt about his
election. as very large number Of lead
ing citizens and taxpayers would give
him their support. regardless Of party.
Tho Enterprise hopes that Col. Lockhar,
will aeeep, tho nomination.

Tho Enterprise was represented on
the streets Of Pueblo Saturday afternoon
and noted the great business activity of
the city. The sidewalks were crowded
with people and the streets with vehicles,
transaeting the large volume Of business
with which the Pit,sburg of the West is
now blessed. The next noticeable fea-
turc Of the city, visible everywhere, was
the wealth Of posters which the rival
shows. Buffalo Bill and Ringing Bros,
have posted all over the city, obseuring
almost all other signs.

Nationally the Democratic party is in q
hopeless condition. Tho Bryan and
Cleveland factions are as far apart as II
they woro two distinct parties. With
such split the Democracy have no pos
sible chance Of making more than a
feeble pre,onso Of s'ee;ing a president.
They cannot hope To win on an;i-impcrial-
ism. as tho public sentiment OF tho nation
Is in harmony with the Republican party
on that issue. And. furthermore. tho
conditions arc steadily improving. SO that
in short time. the anii-impcrialists will
have no possible ground on which to
stand. Tho congressional situation Is as
hopeless for tho Democracy as tho prcsi-
dental outlook. The Boston Herald thus
sums UP tho situation touching tho next
congress: The Republicans who are
expressing secure sense tina. their
party Is TO have tho majority in tho next
national house Of representatives rca-
son abou; in this way: In tho frs; place.
the party has now for;y-fivo majority in
tina; body. The mex, house rs to be
made considerably larger in its numbers.
and in tho increase tho Republicans esti
mate tina; their propondersneo over the
Democrats will amour; 10 about twenty
numbers. This is probably rather high.
bu, !, may reach fifteen in amount
Thus the Republican prepondoranec to be
overcome amounts TO about sixty votes.
There is another element Of gam TO be
taken into account in the now distrieting:
This congress Is to be tho first elected
under il, and number Of tho northern
states have so changed their districts as
to mako it probable that there will DO
more Republicans chosen as tho result
The more sanguino Of those who view
the national situation think that praeti-
oally there is a majority Of nearly eighty
to overcome in order to give the Demo-
Gratis control Of the house,

tee to depend more on public speaking
this year and less on literature than
has been the custom for the past two
or three campaigns

have already made compromise with
the railroads for taxes for the year

effort to collect the full amount due I'M
der the revenue law adopted by our

Such methods will complicatc mat

result in endless litigation. A meet

meeting is called for Saiida on July
