On Campo's fay,
For She's always in the lead.
Our merchant Wheeler
Il quite a spieler,
But we like him in that way.
He's always busy,
And 1t makes US dizzy
To see him on Sales day.
Old Baca's land,
Mixed with its sand,
Is the best man can discover;
We've ne'er forgot
To love the spot,
Nor learned to love another.
If you like the kit,
Have bulldog grit,
And don't go any further;
You like not old Bac,
Just fly the track,
And make room for another.
We can raise Mex beans,
And thistle greens,
And different kinds offorage;
So get on the job.
And don't let a mob
OF eastern suckers discourage.
We're here to stay
And like the way
Old Baca's coming to it;
Let others go,
With their tale of woe,
But some day they will rue it.
We've had little rain,
But just the same

If we can't make it so
To harvest we'll go,

People With the President.

Congress is optimistic now over the
outlook for the future of the nation S
relations with foreign countries, &C
cording to Congressman George Hud
dleston.
Recent developments have only
served to strengthen President Wilson
with the members Of both houses of
congress and with the people of the
nation" declared Congressman Hud-
dleston. There is an optimistic feel.
ing among the leaders in Washington
now regarding our foreign relations
and the general opinion is that
through the able guidance of the presi-
dent we will weather the storms and
come out with honor and without any
war. This is true as regards both Ger
many and Mexico.
There have been times when many
OF the leaders of congress were in.
clined to criticize the president for his
conduct of foreign affairs Some con.
tended that he was too slow to act
while others thought he acted with too
great haste. But every day sees the
president grow stronger in the opinion
of the men in congress, both among
the Democrats and the Republicans
The president is the right man in the
right place at this time; but for his
wise guidance and able leadership, the
nation would long since either have
been plunged into great war or else
might have suffered her honor to be
besmirched!

TAX NOT WARRANTED
Sugar Companies Evidently Need
No Assistance.
Injustice TO Make Consumers Contrib
ute Money for Their Benefit-Ad-
ditionaI Revenue Should Be
Raised in other Ways.

The Wall Street Journal short
time ago contained an article on do
nestle sugar companies, a part of
which is as follows:
1t is understood that the Great
Western Sugar company has been rip
ening melon which is almost ready
for plucking. This company, one of
the largest beet-sugar producers in
the world, has prospered enormously
since the war lifted raw sugar prices
to the highest level in years. The
common stock, OF which there is Sl0,-
544 900 outstanding, has advanced
from $50 per share last September to
the present market of 5000
1t is said on authority that the 1915
earnings were safely over so per cent
on the common stock. For the current
year, If sugar prices hold, the COM
pany may easily earn $40 per share.
Great Western is in a position
to pay a handsome extra dividend in
cash, or to capitalize part of its bulky
surplus by the declaration of a stock
dividend"
In view of the facts thus set forth,
is there the slightest justification for
the United States government giving
this bloated corporation the privilege
OF taxing American consumers an ex-
ira cent per pound on all the beet
sugar they use? Yet that is what the
government will do, If it retains the
tariff on sugar. 1t seems to the Jour
nal that the only fair, sensible and
Democratic thing to do is to put sugar
on the free list and raise any addi-
tional revenue needed by national
Inheritance tax.-Chicago Journal.
