Robbery by tho State.

Ono OF tho lessons to be learned from
a long jury trial like that now in prog
ress in the circuit court is the injustice
OF the jury laws. Here are twelve men
kept from home for weeks, compelled to
pay their board at hotel, kept from
tho vocations in which they make their
livelihood, sometimes to the serious
detriment of important business inter-
ests, and allowed for the service they
render the state little more than the
enforced expenses. There is a margin
OF about fifty cents in q juryman's pay
over the cost of boarding as he has to
board. No juror can support family
on his pay. For day or two jury duty
is not serious thing to most mon, but
when the service stretches out into
weeks it is grave situation for man
who supports himself and family by
his daily toll.
A man who, serves the state as a Juror
on an important trial makes sacrifices
enough without being robbed financial
ly, and robbery is what it amounts to,
morally, for tho state to compel man
to act MS a juror and pay him inadc-
quately. Common justice demands
that he should at least bo allowed his
actual expenses, in addition to fair
day's:pay. There is no greater wrong
in the law, and no moro commemorate
reform could be undertaken than to
rectify the evil. s

Mr.. &. Rotau president of the
Rotan Grocery Company has returned
from an extended trip north and cas-,
and believing that an interview with
him would be both interesting and
instructive, representative Of THE
News called at his Office today and
made known his mission.
Mr.. Rouan at first demurred, cor
rectly surmising that a talk on poll
tics was what the reporter was after
and disclaiming any knowledge or
taste for anything political, but finally
submitted.
"You are of course, aware Mr..
Rotan that your name has been men
toned in connection with the guber-
material race?"
"Only as joke" was the prompt
reply. 81 favor the nomination Of
Judge Clark" he continued "and
while / have never taken an interest
in politics and do not expect to take
an active part, my influence
whatever it amounts to will be cheer
fully given in his behalf"
SIN your travels did you learn
whether or not the present political
situation in Texas effects her credit
and business interests generality"
81 learned that there was a general
feeling of distrust Of Texas as field
for investments on account of the
trend of legislation in the past few
years in this state. The alien land
law was considered as notice served
on outside capital that it was not
wanted, and if it entered the state and
undertook TO develop any of her
boundless resources it did so at its
peril. Capital will never enter the
domain of any government unless it is
assured of protection-sssured that
the owner will be permitted to
hold and enjoy his own pro.
perty, whether of money or land.
The alien land law has driven great
deal of money out of Texas and has
kept millions from coming that would
otherwise have served to tide us over
a season of unprecedented low prices
on cotton,
"The commission law has evidently
frightened away every railroad builder
and it is my candid opinion that there
will not be another mile of road built
in the state SO long as the present law
remains as it is and is administered
by politicians who openly proclaim
their hostility to railroad corporations
The recent arbitrary reduction of cat.
tie rates practically COMPEL the rail.

branch OF their business at less thar
