To Hon. W. B. Hopkins Sir:
We as a committee of the Bar of
the 28th Judicial District of Tex-
as appointed to present to this
Court a tribute to the memory of
the late Judge Welch" complying
with our sad duty beg to submit
the following:
Judge Welch presided over the
courts of this district for some
seven years and as such passed in
and out amongst its people hon-
ored by them as judge and man.
The manner of his offtaking is hor
rible to contemplate.
Maimed partially deaf deep in
slumber unconscious of impend
ing danger stricken unto death by
the merciless hand of an assassin
Judge Welch's demise is appalling.
The act was not that of a man
but rather that of a beast mas-
querading in human form.
Whether prompted by pe.-..
revenge or enmity or inspired by
political fanaticsm fanned into
unholy flame by hope of political
gain it alike chills the heart ad
makes one heavily discount the
benign influences of our boasted
civilization.
If prompted by political intrigue
he or they who directly or in-
directly by word or act suggested
the thought should receive the
same measure of condemnation as
him who fired the fatal shot.
Weigh the gloatings and gratifi-
cation of consummated revenge
and all the gains of political ends
attained and they are as a feather
to the burden of sorrow placed
upon the shoulders of the wife and
cnuaren in tne aespiatea nome on
yonder wave kissed shore or as
the force of an infants breath to
to the shock given public quiet
and the shattering of good govern
ment.
The deed is done and all mortal
of Stanley Welch friend lawyer
and judge .has been consigned to
the grave. His was a varied life.
sxo mner in Diisiuess tervent m
spirit" he met every obstacle in
his pathw ly with cool determina
tion to conquer.
No lotus-eater given to indol-
ence and day dreaming he faced
every phase of life with a strenuous
ness that knew no defeat and
courage that knew no fear.
as a sutaent ne rested not nor
faltered until his task was finished.
As a patriot while yet a school
boy in his native city of New Or
leans Louisiana he answered the
call of his state and did yeomans
duty in her defense during the
four years oT fratricidal conflict
that reddened the pages of;the his
tory during the early sixties of
the last century. Returning from
mat struggle witnout trace or
profession disfranchised an alien
in his own country he turned his
steps to Texas in 1866 and here
sought employment for his at
tainments energy and courage.
Not many months after his
advent into the state he entered
the employment of the San An
tonio National bank as a teller
quitting this engagement he be
came 'city editor of the San An
tonio Express then in its infancy.
In the fall of 1874 or spring of
1875 he entered the customs ser-
vice at Corpus Christi under
Collector Ridge Paschal. In the
performance of the imposed duties
of all these varied positions he
brought into play that painstaking
care; indomitable energy absolute
fearlessness and unswerving fealty
that so definitely marked his
character and that won commenda-
tion at the hands of even his
critics and enemies.
As a citizen of Corpus Christi he
always took a lively interest in all
measures that tended to its ad-
vanceraent material and social.
He organized and commanded
the first militia company mustered
in west of the Nueces and brought
it to an excelledt state of discipline
and familiarity with" military reg-
ulations. As a democrat he was faithful to
party obligations and contributed
no little to many victories in this
section.
Participating in the celebration
of the National Independence Day
in 1876 he lost his right arm
through the premature explosion
of a cannon while firing a salute.
After recovery from this disaster
he for a short time edited the
Nueces Valley a weekly paper
published here. The loss of his
arm wrought a complete change
in the current of his life and
brought him to a decided purpose
the study of law.
How well he compassed that
purpose those who have had oc-
cassion to cross blades with him
ia legal combat well know.
As a student of law he brought
to bear the full force of an active
acquisative mind and ceaseless
labor. It has been said that to
become a profound lawyer one
must read write and speak the
law for reading makes a full man
writing an accurate man and
speaking a ready man. Our friend
was all this. Well grounded in
the doctrines of the law accurate

LABOR IN MEXICO
Why So Many Men Seek Work in the
United .State.
Mexico City November 17.
The department of the interior of
theMexican government has issued
in the form of an official bulletin
a rather remarkable article on the
labor problem in Mexico - written
by Romulo Escobar. The writer
explains why thousands of Mexican
laborers are entering the United
Sta.es is a school for Mexican
peons. He deplores and criticises
the treatment and low station in
life accorded the Mexican peon in
his own country. The article re
ceives sufficient sanction by its
publication in the official bulletin
of the department of the interior.
The following is a translation of
the article in part:
"To all Mexican frontier vil
lages ano towns mere are arnvinya '

who have abandoned the ranches
and villages where they lived to go
to work in the United States.
"This current has continued to

til the depopulation has made itself
felt through the alarming propor-
tions it has attained.

the peon in a condition to work
better than he does at home.
"His ideas broaden and he
learns that the world is a big place
and that there are people who will
pay him better for work than he is
paid at home and that these people
take better care of him and are
anxious to have him.
"And yet these peons can not
forget their own little home spot in
Mexico and as soon as they have
saved a little they return well cloth-

people eat tortillas and beans and
chile and to bring back some mon-
ey to their families; and they
-throw their money around and get
drunk to the envy of all who have
remained at home. And the result
is that the more adventurous of
their brothers relatives and friends
go with them to hunt their fortunes
in the United States.
"All this helps to weaken our
national forces."
