THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, SUNDAY , MORNING, APRIL 12. 1908. Vigorous, Clean Young Man Seeks District Attorneyship ; JAMES COLE IN CHARACTERISTIC TOSE. "James Cole, candidate' for the Be . publican Domination for 'district at torney for the fourth judicial district" In , words, and in print, the. phrase above dors not bold ao much of sig nificance . to the average reader and voter. Byt In fact Jt la potential of great results for the good and improved citizenship Of Multnomah county. In 'brief it mean that the people of the city of I'ortland and of Multnomah county havo it In their power to elect a young: man to office who la the soul of earnestness and of Industry and who in animated by the rather novel Idea that the first obligation of a proeecut- Ing attorney la to do his full duty to the public. It means that (here la now before the people of the fourth dlstrlfrt a potential district attorney who. If elected, would see to it that the laws of the state would be enforced, a man who would not shirk his duty or bend from the part of right because of per sonal friendship or private Influence. James Cole, the candiJate, U a young man. In years he has not traveled far, but In preparation he has gone a great distance. He has done that thing which many, older than he, have not done; he baa become a man, fearless. Independ ent, unafraid, seeking that which Is Just, working for that which Is right. You have to know "Jim" Cole to ap preciate him. . Me does not have the silver tongue. lie has not kissed tho blarney stone. His eloquence Is em bryonic He Is no politician. But he Is a man, and a cltlxen, earnest, thought ful, purposeful. He wants to do right and he wants to .make Portland and Multnomah, county clean, a place of homes and honesty and straight deal ing. For that reason and purpose he has allowed his friends to persuade him that It is a duty which tie owes to the rest of tha cltlsens of this com munity to become a candidate for of fice. ' In his campaign for the Republican nomination James Cole Is not hurling empty phrase or campaign rhetoric against the ears of his listeners. He is telling them Just what he means, is promising Just what he would do if he were district attorney. He is out lining his plans. There is this much about it, though, and all those who hear Jamea Cole speak can aee its truth. If James Cole should be elected district attorney he would be boss of his office. He would deal out Justice as it should be meted out, taking no heed of the wealth or the (poverty, the Influence or the lack of Influence of those who came before the br of justice. He would Join hands honestly, fairly, with the blind goddess, and would look et tha offense and not at the men aa they came be fore him. The bejeweled hands of those who grow fat on the income of the flowing, bowl could not draw, him out of the iirect line of fairness. The holders of favors and of corporate power could not warp his Judgment. He would be the sorvant, and the protector. of the whole people, not of any claas or cult or creed. He would be the dis trict attorney. So, in short, James Cole is a man. in dependent, open, fearless, unattached. He la not owned by any individual or set of individuals. He is his own mas ter nnd stands firm noon his own feet. He never has been bought, and never can be. He wants to give the -people or roiiiana ana aiuitnoman. county a clean administration, to show them what an independent, law-enforclns- dis trict attorney should do for tha district. He may not be eloquent, but he would be honest. He may not be an orator, but he would be an official friend of the people. He may not be a politi cian, but he would be a man. In all that the term Implies, one who would give to all their dues and to none an advantage. Ha would be a law enforcer. an nonesi servant or me nonest people, and for that reason he is meeting with support ana encouragement among I moso woo want sn nonesi- oxnciat in I ox nee.

It is up to the health board to recem- mend a site for Portland s new crema tory, and after sending In a communi cation to the council recommending the site at East Third and East Everett streets it withdrew the message and will give the matter further considera tion before maKing a recommendation. Just why the health board withdrew its communication to the council before that body met Wednesday has not been revealed. There waa no special meeting or tne- ooara caiiea lor mat purpose, but a hurried call of several members resulted In the withdrawal of the recom mendation for the site at East Third and Eaat Everett It la said that the board has several other sites under Con- eideratft'n and does not want the own ers to boost the prices before options can oe securea on tne property, The site at East Third and East Everett is an Ideal place for the crema tory because of the formation or tne land. A half block could be secured at this point fronting on a bluff over hanging a slough. The incinerator could be erected so that garbage wagons could enter and leave either on Everett or Third streets and the ashes be dumped into the eiougn. ino city is at present using the terminus or East Third .street as a dumping ground for street sweepings. Another site tnat would be favorable for a crematory is north of East Burn- side street between the railroad tracks. This property is owned by the O. R. & N. company. The disadvantage of this site would be the difficulty encountered by the garbage wagons In entering and leaving the crematory. Anotner east side site tnat would be an advantage over the present site is the one at the terminus of East Davis street. This property, like the site at East Third and East Everett streets, is on an elevation ana wouia oe ad vantageous for the crematory. Several other sites are being consid ered by the health board and it is probable that of these one will be recommended. -After tne board decides upon a site an effort will be made to secure an option on the property before recommendation is maae to tne coun cil. - '-f - -' - The site at East Third and. East Ev erett streets was the one recommended by experts who visited Portland at the time of tne lewis ana uiaric exposition. These men made an inspection of all the available sites In the city and recom mended .the one at East Third and East Everett streets to the health board. - At that .time, the property could nave been bought for $30,000. It la believed that It could, be. secured at the same price at uie present time. , New Incorporations. Salem. Or.. April 11.
