NEEDED A GOOD DISTRICT
ATTOKXEY.
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.

good deal more like Roosevelt than
Taft is. 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

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

The Umatilla County Cure.
From the Pendleton East Oregonlan.
Perhaps tne greatest rorce in nature.
tha greatest neater, tne great rood, the
greatest drink in nature Is sunshine, of
which Umatilla county enjoys a boun
teous supply. No other county in the
stat Is so favorably situated as Uma
tilla, here at the dividing line between
th fog of the coast and the snows of
the mountain.
, Last year - Umatilla county enjoyed
14 days more sunshine than Los An
geles. Almost 800 days of sunshine In
a single year; nature' greatest healer
and vitalizing force pouring upon th
county in a golden flood! ; "
This alone i sufficient advertising
for the county.v . . - . -v 1
