B' T FAR the moot Important local office to be filled by the voters of Multnomah county at the Jnne election Is that of district attorney, it is not, or rather should ; toot be, a political office, and It is of ": -"no" real moment' whether the next V Incumbent is a Republican or a Dem . ucrat The only thing of importance , Is that he should be capable, incor ruptible, conscientious and fearless In the dlscbarae of his duty. , " " John Manning, who is a candidate : for reelection, has proved himself conspicuously unfit for the office - The record of" his administration is a record of incompetence, neglect of '. V duty and persistent use of bis office to serve bis own political ends. As he has no competitor for the Demo-,-' cratlc nomination it Is assumed that "'- lie will be renominated, but The : Journal nevertheless . will publish from time to time the proofs of his unfitness so that the voters of the county may be fully apprised of the ' manner In which Mr. Manning has ' conducted his office. Up to the time when James Cole entered the race, the two leading Republican candidates were' G. A. Moser and Municipal Judge George Cameron. As to Mr. Moser, It will be dlfft cult it not impossible for him to , , clear himself of all responsibility for the shortcomings of the Manning ad ministration. For more than four years Moser was chief deputy under Manning, he was fully cognizant of the. manner In which the office was being conducted and. he cannot es cape olame for the incessant failure to enforce the laws. . So far as Judge Cameron is con cerned, it Is enough to say at this time that the reoprds of the munlcl pal court teem with Instances where criminals have been allowed, to go unwhlpt of Justice. Judge Cameron seeks to shift the blame to the shoulders' of the prosecuting off! cials. but the excuse is Insufficient Certain saloonkeepers,-habitual vlo- lators of the law, have been haled before him time after time, only to be dismissed without trial. The to lice say that "It Is Impossible to get i-onvlctions In Cameron's court," and thn facts seem to bear out the charge. - 4 It Is not necessary to discuss now the minor candidates in the field save to say tffat Mr. Westbrook appears to be a yoang man of excellent char acter and earnest purpose, but he is so handicapped by his lack of ac quaintance and by his comparatively brief experience at the bar in this state as to have little chance of gain lne the nomination of his party. James Cole, the remaining candi date, has won an enviable reputation for integrity, industry and aDinty Jlis platform of law enforcement should appeal strongly to every citi zen who desires to see the office of district attorney lifted above the de basing Influences which have sur rounded It under the present admin istration. ; His warmest supporters are the men who have watched his career most closely and they are out spoken and enthusiastic in4heir be lief that he is-the right Man for the office. In the opinion ot The Jour nal Mr. Cole's candidacy wlU com linend itself strongly to the best ele WntR anion the voters of the county. TWO On.MOXH. H' ERE In substance are the views or opinions of two fairly intel ligent, average citizens' not great or especially dlstin gulshed men, yet observant, open minded men, who perhaps are as able as our United States senators or other high officials to size up the campaign situation. 8tartlng out with the presumption that Taft and Bryan will be the nominees, Mr, Smith says: "Taft will carry every northern state, and Missouri and Maryland will be doubtful. Bryan will get a larger popular vote than Parker did in 1904, but no more electoral votes, except those of Mis souri. The people agree with him more than ever before, but they will give Taft the office partly because he is a big, fair, trustworthy man and partly because they believe that Roosevelt would not be ror him un less he would carry out the 'Roose velt policies.' The 'interests' do not like him, but after all they would rather chance him than Bryan, and so will give him sufficient if sullen support. It Is with them a choice between two evils, and Taft Is the lesser evil. The labor unions do not like Taft, but a large proportion of them will be bluffed or cajoled Into voting In the usual way. They have never supported Bryan, and won't now. Besides, if Bryan had a chance to carry New Tork and New Jersey, Hearst's Independent party will poll enough votes to defeat him there, and throw the plurality to Taft Hearst will be a wrecker, as he was In San Francisco, and tried to be in Chicago. The odds are In favor of Taft." Oa the other hand Mr. Brown sayB: Bryan a time has come at last. The people agree with him, In the main, and want his type of man for president. Roosevelt has prac tically destroyed the Republican party, and while the people would reelect him If he would run, they will not elect Taft on his recommen dation. They see that Bryan is ties there Is not yet a single legisla tive candidate from either party who has iihRrrlhpd to Statement No. 1. .i mi-- fiin.. . P"y principle are, even oy.it piat u wujv ....

They say that if the Repub lican party Is sincere in meaning to carry out the 'Roosevelt' policies,' and going ahead with real reforms, it would nominate La Follette, the one conspicuous Republican who would do this. Taft looks suspic ious to the newly awakened and dis enthralled Republicans. Besides, or ganized labor will be against him, almost to a man. The worklngmen cannot be either cajoled or coerced any more. I believethat in spite of Hearst's independent party, Bryan will carry New York, and that the Foraker Influence is great enough to defeat Taft in his own state. . What Conkling was to Blaine, Foraker will be to Taft. Even Iowa Is likely to go for Bryan, as a protest against the standpat ring In that state. So are Minnesota and Wisconsin. In fact, the time Is ripe for a 'tidal wave,' and Bryan will be the bene ficiary of it. Half the northern states should go down in the 'doubt ful' column." And "there you are." Here are wo current opinions, not of extreme partisans, but of fair, observant, in telligent men. .Which one is nearer tight?

I A BRAZEN SCHEME. 'yjlHE audacity of those who thrive Ifrom special privilege through connivance In the United States senate passes comprehension It has remained for Senator La Fol- lette to expose an instance of It, In the case of the Aldrich bill. Among Its provisions was one that railroad fconds might be used as a basis for the proposed asset currency. , Once the currency had been Issued on such bonds, the railroads would have a leverage reaching Into the ery vitais or. cue republic. As Sen ator La Follette pointed out," when ever a reduction of railroad rates would have been proposed, railroad capUins of Industry would raise the cry that a , depreciation of bonds must result, whereby the foundations of tho currency would be under ifttned. Or, with their known power and bent for. doing such things they could actually force drop in quota tlons,' and then jalse tufe startling T IS indisputably true that the great majority of the voters of Oregon are in favor of State ment No. 1, because it vests In the. people the election of United States senator. The machine poll tlcians, the men who are In politics for "what there is In it," are opposed to that principle. i The people want legislative candi dates who will subscribe unquali fiedly to i Statement No. 1. Unfor tunately most of the legislative can didates now in the field are self seeking politicians, more ready to heed? the 'behests of the machine than the will of the people. We do not overlook the fact that some of these candidates who oppose State ment No. 1 are honest and sincere In their opposition and believe that the people . cannot be trusted with the selection of the senator. But this ia hot true of the majority. Look over the list, and you will see the; name of one man after another, who has , been a ' mere machine tool, a lifeless,' brainless marionette ' mov ing only as the string is pulled by the party boss. ,., ..""-' It is the hope of the machine that the people will not put forward Statement No. 1 candidates until It Is too' late for them to be voted upon In ihe primaries, ; This is the ; one great danger that threatens, the one umns of this paper last Tuesday. Unfortunately the address was not preserved and Mrs. Miller will con fer a favor by sending" it to the editor. Everything seems to be going Taft'B way. Great are Teddy and the Big Stick.
