THE Story of Jerry Simpson" is
the title of a new book just issued.
The author is Mrs. Annie L. Diggs,
of Kansas, an old friend. The price
is $1.25, and if you wish to ecure
the life history of this noted former
citizen of Roswell before it is placed
on sale at the book stores, you should
write Mrs. Jerry Simpson at Wichita,
Kansas. The story of his life is told
with just as little conformation to the
conventional style of biography as
was possible. There are tributes from
intimate friends of Jerry Simpson
among the great men of the times
that alone render Inc book a valua-
BILE possession.

In a recent editorial referring to
MI. Bryan's debt to the Populists, the
Record neglected to state why Senator
Allen was once regarded as even a
stronger man than Bryan. Allen in
October, 1898, broke the endurance
record, making a speech of fifteen
consecutive hours on the silver ques-
ton in the United States senate. 1t
was a cas- of physical power rather
than mental strength. perhaps-and
talk was the '9ong suit" of the Pop
ulists.

The newspapers are full of political
twaddle which is of no earthly value,
and of little interest; even the maya
zines are reeking with it, and the
citizen who does not regard politics
as the chief end of man becomes
weary and disguised. The orators and
spellbinders have emerged from their
gloomy lairs, the roorback goes up
and down the earth seeking whom it
may deWour, and the pibroch and the
slogan rouse from their slumbers.
What's the use of it? Let us bend
our thoughts to the more important
subjects of gardening, building chick
en- fences, hauling away the old cans
and rubbish. and oiling up the lawn
mower. The country isn't in such
desperate peril that we need to spend
all our time saving it with our lungs
and fountain pens.-William Allen
White.

Being lined up squarely with the
Operations, the New York Sun de-
nounces both the Nebraska and Ohio
platforms as Populistic. The points
of similarity in the two platforms
represent the practically unanimous
sentiment of the common people, re-
CARELESS of party-but the Democratic
platform is the only one that really
means what it says. All the good
points in the Republican platform
have been stolen from previous Dem
.~ocratic platforms and speeches of
William j.. Bryan. The Republicans
realize that the people are ready for
the enactment of Democratic princi-
pies into law, and their pretense of
favoring them is merely to prevent
the election of a President VINO
means what he says

The Record believes it has discov-
cred the reason why Judge Bateman
and DIR. Yater are naturally leaders
in their respective factions of Ros-
well Democracy. Bateman is always
the first lawyer in town to reach his
office in the morning; and DIR. Yater
is likewise the first doctor in town
to open his office in the morning.
