Herald Publishing Company comes out
with the announcement that Mrs. Jesse

she has been the guiding spirit. The
announcement while not unexpected
comes to us with a tinge of regret. Mrs.

the change of management states that
she has given Of hA' thought and en-
crgy toward the up-building of the Her

has done and done nobly and the Enter
prise together with every other publ
cation in the valley today doffs our "som

M 50 nobly for the cause or right and
development for this entire section. In
rclinQuiShing her control of the paper.
although She still retains part interest

or. while Brownsville and the Valley
has lost a splendid newspaper
with courage and a conviction To back it
up. With the advent Of Mr.. Martin j.

that the Herald has secured a good man

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER. 90, 1912
GRAND JURORS.

There were many points in Judge Hop
kins' charge TO the grand jury well wor-
thy of special notice. That part in which
he dwelt upon the spirit Of loyalty and
unselfiSh devotion TO the laws which
prescribe the duties Of grand purOrs. is
especially commended.
With the gentlemen who are now i'm
paneled The Herald has neither the right
nor the inclination to NEEDLE. They are
now a part of the machinery of the court,
and all the advice they need has been Civ
en- them by the judge.
However, there will be no harm in say
ing a few words about the grand juries
in general. The grand jury is a very an
cient institution. and as an institution 1T
is an outgrowth of that love of liberty
and Justice so dear to our forcfatherS. It's
duties are inquiSitOrial in their nature,
and are. or should be, entirely secret
until the jurors choose to make their
findings. public in the proper official
way.
Nevertheless many good men shrink
from the duty of serving Oh grand %juricS.
because to them the work is entirely dis
tasteful. The average rightminded man
would rather not have anything TO do
with the work Of getting people into trou
bic. Yet, Judge Hopkins has we'll said
there is no other process by which male
factors, especially those whose crimes
amount to felony. ca nbe brought to JUS
tee. Every good citizen should there
fore be ready to perform this high duty
of citizenship. and he should strive for
the courage to do his whole duty III the
Jury room without fear or favor. Perhaps
it is not easy but it is very necessary. 1t
is a dutv. that calls for the highest type
of manhood and patriotism.
IN this connection it may he well 10
say that every grand juror, because OF
the great services he is called to render,
has a right to claim the protection of the
secrecy which belongs to the grand jury
room. The remarks Of the Judge upon
this point are pertinent and timely.
