The Grand Jury, Its Use and Abuse

Some time ago The Herald had occasion to make
reference the possible abuse Of the grand jury system
in times Of great political stress The Herald pointed
out that grand ures do their work in secret without
allowing the accused any opportunity of defence
explanation, and that grand jury indictment is apt
to carry to the public mind almost the weight Of
victiOn upon proof in open court.
The Sebastian case in Los Angeles may develop into
Of the most remarkable instances Of grand jury
abuse record It is also possible that Sebastian
really is guilty and viii be convicted trial But the
significance of certain facts in the situation be
lodged
Sebastian, chief Of police, is candidate for mayor
at the approaching election The grand jury contains
many Of his political opponents In the heat Of the
campaign, the grand jury ndicts Sebastian serious
charges involving misconduct with young girls wards
Of the juvenile court The city is kept in whiTl Of
excitement by the summoning Of witnesses before the
grand Jury and new indictments for this person and
that, having less supposed relation with the
Sebastian charges.
Sebastian charges political conspiracy and demands
immediate trial. It remains to be whether
the processes of court viii be expedited as to
enable him to have public trial before election With
out assuming to pass in any way on the truth
falsity Of the charges It is plain that the power Of
grand Jury to ruin mans reputation and to influence
local political situation is power too vast to be
handled lightly.

Fl Paso Deserves a State Normal

Ell Paso, OF at any rate FL Paso county, ought to
have one of the new Texas state normal schools Prob
ably we can have it if go after It in usual
winning way Every effort should be made, not only
bring the facts and arguments to the notice Of the
commission charged with selecting SITES but also TO
convince the people of the state at large that FL Paso
is entitled to one Of these schools
The Herald has many times pointed cut the alb
surdity OF forcing all student-pedagOgs to 60 to
San Marcos, more than 700 miles, or to some other
distant point in the state, for normal school training
and experience. FL Paso has teaching force Of around
200 teachers and will need so to 100 in the very
future West Texas has large and growing pOpu-
lation and the SCHOOLS of west Texas progressive
The standards for teachers in FL PasO higher than
the required standards Of graduation rom many Of
the state normals.
FL Paso ought to have one Of the state normals,
whose standards FL Paso could herself help and
whose work she could supervise The E. Paso normal
ought to be continuation of the city high school, not
substitute for two years of high school It IS
manifest absurdity TO continue system under which
high school boys and girls quit before graduation,
60 to a state normal and come back to FL Paso and
obtain places teachers before their high school
class graduates Such plan handicaps faithful high
school students who desire to teach and promotes the
practice Of quitting school before graduation Obviously
also tends 10 lower the standards for teachers
Fl Pas0 and E. Paso county have every possible ad
vantage to offer as suitable site for state normal
But It is enough to say that there why
should not have Positive campaigning must be
undertaken, to get one.
