ORIGINATING A LAW OF HEALTH

The Portland (Ore.) Cremation As
ISOLATION has issued publication in
pamphlet form of which, through the
kindness Of Hon. Daniel Buchanan,
we were enabled to obtain copy.
From careful perusal OF its contents,
even though somewhat prejudiced on
the subject, it must be admitted that
many points in the proposition are
worthy Of favorable comment and
consideration. AS reasoning and in
telligent beings, we know full we'll
that for the majority of us the end is
not far away, and that "dust to dust"
is our inevitable destiny. The dispo-
sition, therefore, OF our remains after
death is matter which should be
settled in our own minds after mature
elaboration and while we are capable
OF acting Understandings and with
out undue influence. Since the first
crematory in this country was built,
by DR.. LIE Moyne, at Washington,
Penn, in 1876, cremation as a sani-
tary and advantageous method of dis
posing Ct the dead has apparently
grown in popular favor throughout
the United States, until now each large
city i'll the country has crematory,
as have also many Of the smaller mu-
inequalities. The declared objects of
the association are to advance crema-
ton interests and 10 elevate the char
acter OF crematory and CoIumbarian
institutions throughout the world.
The Introductory says in part:
ain this age of progress the tend
ency toward improvement and devel-
opment in every direction cannot be
restricted by the prejudces OF race or
religion, nor long retarded by the en-
vironment Of sentiment or ignorance
Progress is attained not by the stub
born adherence to traditions or estab-
lished opinions but by the intolli-
gent application OF knowledge gained
through experience recognition of
the exigencies OF the tines respect
for the demands OF the people.
ain a new country like ours, known
the world over for its easy Adaptable
ity to new conditions; for it's clever
ness to invent or eagerness to apply
new methods, it is not surprising that
even such radical change from time
honored customs as is cremation
should find many ardent supporters
and just advocates. Time was when
it was objected to ON the grounds OF
religion, but these objections have
given way to higher and broader in
telligence, and it is to-day er dorsed
by the clergy of all denominations
and accorded kindly reception by
nearly all progressive people,"

II II bard Of trade or some similar
organization was effected, it might
often do good work in - local way.
1t has been said that generally in
small towns business men do not act
together, and that they are not public
spirited. In Il measure this may be du 2
to the fact that there has been no Or
gained eff )rt to b:ins them together
upon common ground, and they
therefore act independently and Diff
ferently when there should be unity.
Local questions such as franchises,
taxes, street grades, waterworks an
many other such matters, might some-
times be considered very advantage
ously by such body. Very sharp
differences often arise over such mat
tiers, because OF Il failure on the part
of all to understand just what is
wanted. II the city council became
extravaganza, erring, or careless, a hint
from such body would undoubtedly
receive cheerful attention.

To protect the weak, to uphold
justice, to lie frank in condemnation
OF crime, and to den)unc the evil
doer, are among the duties Of news
paper. An editor who, impelled Ey
any motive, would shrink from the
performances of these duties would not
be worthy Of the high calling of his
choice. He should seek another field.
For him to expect support, or to
maintain II position in the public
esteem would be an assumptian with
out basis. The News seeks To be fair,
and it is no. afraid. 1t courts the
good opinion of the good part OF the
