Seeking to Take Away Labor.

There has been some effort on the
part OF firm operating in Alabama
to induce farm laborers to. leave the
upper part of this county and go to
Alabama. About Christmas one OF
the negro farm hands of that section
of the county went to Alabama and
within the past several days he has
forwarded a party railroad pass
issued by a certain railroad company
for the party to whom the letter was
addressed and fifteen others, the ne
gro who forwarded the pass asking
that the man to whom he sent it
come at once and bring fifteen others
with him.
1t is clearly against the law to in
duce labor to leave the state in this
manner. Labor has been scarce IN
this county for some time and there
is great demand for it now. The
farmers of the section of the county
mentioned will no doubt be on their
guard.

A TRIBUTE TO JERRY.

Judge Gatewood Pays His Respects
to One of Natures Noblemen.
When Jerry Simpson died God took
from among us one of Natures no
blemen. He was a. diamond, not in
the rough, for by self-cu1ture he had
made himself a polished gentleman.
| When Abarahm Lincoln was splittiEs
rails in the wilderness of Illinois, he
was a prophet undiscovered. The
fullness of time revealed the true
character Of Lincoln to the world,
and the whole earth has united in
canonizing him. Simpson was the
same sterling character of man as
ommon people, ~conspicuously Simp-
son was a commoner. He loved the
common people, yet in no sense was
he provincial or prescribed by the
limits or p%rejudices of any class. As
he grew, the horizon of his mental
vision extended until Jerry Simpson
in h meridian of his manhood was
one of the broadcast minded men and
one of the most liberal in his views
among all the public men of our day.
His range Of information and the
depth of his culture in the best
thought OF men was extraordinary.
Without early opportunities for edu-
cation Or advancement, by the natu-
raj force of character that was in
him, by the laudable ambition he al
wayS hal tO do SOmathiO0 worthy
among his fellows, and by his devo-
ton to the right as it was given him
to see the right, and by honest, con
slant, faithful discharge of every Gu
ty hat fell to him to do, he gradually
and steadily rose in the esteem and
and about him until among the first
statesmen of his country he became
recognized and appreciated as a
thinker Of high and noble thoughts.
and a leader of men worthy of the
highest consideration and IA most
implicit confidence.
The writer knew Jerry Simpson as
a man, as an acquaintance, and last
but best of all, as a warm personal
friend. His life was much that cv-
cry father should wish his son to be
In his business life he was
faithful, honest and true. In a word.
Jerry Simpson, from first to last, was
an honest man-the noblest work of
God. Jerry Simpson, "~requiescat in
pace" God be with you.

directly to the point. The Republicans
Of the House learned to admire as
well as fear him, while the Democrats
loved and trusted him. Incidents of
his life in Washington have recently
been recalled and republished in ell
the newspapers of the country. He
vas popular with all the newspaper
men and correspondents at the Ma
tional capital, and mad intimate
friends among statesmen of both
great parties. The Record predicts
that no better article will be written
about his death than the n that ap-
pears in the Wichita Eagle written
by the Republican congressman who
now represents the Kansas district
made famous by Jerry Simpson-tne
congressman who as a newspaper re
porter started the libel about Jerry
not wearing socks. The editor OF
The Record was editing a Farmers
Alliance paper in Jerry's district at
the time he first ran for congress on
the farmers ticket, against Col. Hal
lowell, who was called prince Hal"
We recall that Jerry referred to his
opponent as "a prince, a real silk
stockinged aristocrat'-and on this
the Eagle reporter enlarged, making
it appear that Jerry pulled up his
trousers and showed that he did not
wear any socks at all. The story
took so we'll that the Eagle then dub
bed Jerry the "Sockless Socrates"
and so the story spread until it was
no further use to deny it,-and it will
be repeated from ocean to ocean in
obituary articles about a man who
neither de1ed the ordinary usages of
good society nor INDUCED in vanity.
Jerry Simpson was a man Of common
sense, with more than ordinary nat
ural ability. He was honored by his
country, and he honored his highest
position, even as he fulfilled the OBJ
legations and neighborly functions OF
private citizenship.

JERRY SIMPSON.

Not for the honors he had won in
the past nor high office he once held,
but for his everyday personality as
a neighbor and private citizen, his
leadership and earnest efforts in pre-
senting to the world the advantages
OF the Valley which he chose for
spending his declining years in
peaceful simplicity of living, the city
Of Roswell and the Pecos Valley
sincerely mourns the death of Jerry
Simpson, a good and useful man.
Unspoiled by success, digniled and
determined enough on occasion, he
was childlike in his frank enjoyment
of the simplest relations. Everybody
called him by his first name, and yet
he was none the less respected. 1t
was not a vulgar familiarity that
caused his friends to refer to him as
Our Jerry" 1t was rather like the
parental pride whose heart swells
with love in contemplating the
achievements of our boy"-cherish-
ished by the humble freside, and
looked pon with wonder and admira-
ton as his voice was raised in the
halls of the great.
Jerry Simpson was a great nan
great orator nor a great scholar-but
a great man. Unlearned in some of
The artificial scholastic accomplish
ments, yet a highly educated man.
He knew from personal experience
and direct observation much that
cannot be learned from books. His
language was the language of the
common people, the simple Anglo
Saxon which the child learns at his
mothers knee, while his thoughts
were images of things real, viewed
face to face-no platitudes of m
rous polysyllables borrowed from for
eign tongues, but short, bright point
ed flashes of wit, Illuminating heights
and depths of wisdom so that all
might read. It was not ready wit
and humor alone that held Jerry
Simpson before the public for so ma
ny years and made him known 20
h entire country. The grave and
deliberate men who do things in the
United States congress are not long
entertained by a mere joker. True
their attention was first attracted by
What. the funny men of the newspa-
pers said about Jerry, and many of
them no doubt expected to laugh
him down in a few days. But when
Jerry took his seat and turned the
laugh ON everyone who tried to make

hat his wit a but the effervescence
from the surface of a deep and pow
