Too much significence cannot be at tached to the very important work of taking the census in this county next month. There is ample reason for be lieving that the population of Columbia County has materially increased within the last two or three years, and our people should be imbued with an earnest desire to see that every resident of the County is enumerated. By a thorough, accurate enumeration the County will receive a diversified benefit. The popu lation of the County has not increased in the past years as rapidly as it should, and chief among the causes is the fact that settlements have been sparse, but one family at a time settling in our forests and undertaking the work of uuuuiug m aome nas progresses, oi course, slowly, until now the location of homes does not mean the privations it did a few years ago. At that time one settling away from the river front meant to be deprived of neighbors, of schools, of church and of mail facilities, but those obstacles have been evercome. Settle ments have been opened, schools have Deen estaoiislieu, religious services are conducted in nearly every one of the rural settlements at least once each month, and the County is well provided with post-offices, all 'these adding in ducements to settlers. The natural resources and possibilities of the County bay long been known, but the time to strike seems never to have been ready to present itself until within the last year or two, jJunng all this time, as a matter of fact, home builders have been at work and tiie dawn of a new day is about to shine forth. If our census is carefully taken we believe it will have a salutary effect upon our future develope ment, and every person residing in the County owes it'as a duty to the County to aid In the work by freely and hon estly giving forth such information as will assist the enumators in their work. We have implicit confidence in the honesty and ability of the enumerators appointed to do their work well, and when the count is finished we believe a showing will be made which will be creditable to us and very benficial to our naturally wealthy County. The present great importance of a olid vote for the Republican candi date for the Legislature in this County j is equaled only by the importance of voting the rest of the Republican ticket. In the Senate of the United States sits today a man of great abil ity, heartily in accord with Repub lican principles, an industrious worker for the interests of his State and Nation and always alert to uphold the honor and integrity of his Government. That man's home is Columbia County, and as his term of office wiil expire on the first of next March, his re-election is a mat. ter which the majority of the people of (Jils County are interested in and de manding. There is but one way in which we can assist him, and that is by electing man to the next session of the legislature who will vote for Senator McBride' re-election. That man is Norman Merrill, the Republican candidate- for Representative. Mr. Merrill will support Mr. McBride, hence the latter gentleman' friends will see that Mr, Merrill is chosen Representative. This is an important question to Colum bia County people. Vve want lo see Sen ator McBride elected if possible, if not, whoever succeeds him must be a Re publican, in or4cr to uphold the dignity of this Stale, and this can be brought about by no other means than voting for and electing the Republican candi date from this County to the Legislature.

Democracy Has Learned to Love Its Bitterest Foe The Kmare clpator. "And thus the whirligig of Time brings in his revenges." The Demo cratic orators and editors of the country are daily manifesting an increasing dis position to canonize Abraham Lincoln, and if thev keep on we shall not be sur prised to find in the near future that they nave placed him side Dy side who Thomas Jefferon and Andrew Jackson, the patron saints of the party. To be sure, the chief use they now make of the great emancipator's mem ory is as an awful contrast to the living Republican leader. "Lincoln would not have done this,' and "Lincoln would not have done that," is the burden of their lav. but if thev continue, we sus pect that they will soon be praising Lincoln on his own account aa one of the wisest and best of American statesmen. And yet, when Lincoln was in the flesh and in the White' House, these same Democratic editors and orators who now profess to adore his memory, could find no language strong enough to express their hatred of the man and their ab horrence of the party that made bim President. Many of them strove for four years with arms to destroy the Union in order to get rid of him, while others wandered about In what Henry Watterson the other day pitcureequely described as the "bogs and fogs of Cop- perheadism," raising a barbaric yawp incessantly against the great "rail splitter." No President baa ever been more malignantly assailed and misrepresented by the opposition than Lincoln was during his public career, and if he were alive today and at the head of the party which he did so much to create, we have no doubt that the abuse poured down upon bis devoted head by the Demo cratic leaders who now vie with Repub licans in sounding his praises would be as malignant as ever. The truth is that, in the opinion of most Democratic orators and editors, the only good Republican is a dead Re publican. Like Lincoln, Sumner. Sew ard and Garfield, and scores of other Kepnblican leaders who have passed over to the silent majority, are often mentioned nowadays with commenda tion in contrast with their successors in the leadership of their party, by the mouthpieces of the opposition, who never failed to misrepresent and con demn their every utterance and action while living, and it is most probable that a future generation of Democratic critics will pursue a like course in deal ing with the memory of some of their foremost opponents of the present time. Fortunately, the intelligent people of this country have a pretty clear un derstanding of the tricks of politicians, and also have tbeir own way of reaching conclusions regarding the relative merits and demerits of parties and public men. Lincoln's devotion to duty and patriotic statesmanship were recognized and sus tained by a large majority of his fellow- citizens through m troublesome period of his public career, despite the savage onslaughts upon his character and acts Dy some of the opposition leaders wno now profess to worship his memory, and we believe that every President who serves the people faithfully and capably will be similarly honored, no matter now bitterly ne may be assailed by the orators and organs of the op position. Denver Republican It must not be lost sight of that a thoroughly capable man like the pres ent County Clerk is an officer of great value to any county. Mr. Watts, by his careful, conscientious method of looking after the County's interests, has been worth many times the salary paid him, and to continue him as County Clerk another term will guarantee a careful, valuable man in that very responsible place. By all means re-elect him. Tort ureal at Witness. Intense suffering was endured by wit ness T. L.

Deerislaiid. Woman) Suffrage, Like Free Stiver, Panares for all Ills Hut Is It? In the last imue of Tun Mist is quoted the following from the Tillamook Head light: "Suppose that the woman suffrage amendment should pass, who would control the votes of the prostitutes in our large cities? This is a dangerous element to bring into our body politic, especially when the vote is close. Fancy a candidate for ottice with strong social purity ideas having to toady to this ele ment for votes, while, on the other hand, we do not think it would shock the modesty of the average ward politician to induce these unfortunate women to vote sccording to his dictation, espec ially if he had tioodle to back him, aa he surely would." How much worse is it to bring into our bolv politic that class of women than to nave the power to vote weilded by the men who are their co-equals in sin. Is not an immoral man equally as bad as an immoral woman? There is no difference. A sin is a sin. "That which sends a woman to the gates of hell, will send the soul of a man there as well." Why should a candidate have to toady to this element any more than to any other? Of course there is no toadying done in an election by any can didate in the present state of affairs. The class of sinful women mentioned is not large not by half as the men who are as tow in the uioral scale. Why gag at gnat and swallow sawmills of the largest dimensions? It is not reason able to suppose for even a moment that the unfortunato women mentioned by the Headlight form but a very small percentage of the women of our land. Men, you do not think for an instant that the mothers, wives, daughters and sisters of your families would vote for any other than pure men and women. The desire which women have for the right of franchise does not originate in the wish for office, neither for the sake of notoriety nor the opportunity of wearing out alt the boxes at the corner grocery during campaigns. No, it is for the sake of their doar ones, the love of humanity, the patriotic ambition to place the land of their fore-fathers on a high moral standard. Place the ballot in the hands of women and the first step taken would be to close those gate of Hades which sUnd open on every hand to entrap the young and unwary. That's the tender spot. The last thing wanted by a cer tain class of politicians, viz : the " Whisk v ring," is the passing of the equal suf frage amendment, for when it Koes into effect as it sure! will the day of their reign win oe rapiuiy urawuig w ciubb.

No reflection is intended upon any School Superintendent this County has ever had, when it is mentioned as a matter of common belief, that the busi ness of that office was never in better hands than those of I. U. Copeland, the present incumbent, who has been re nominated to succeed himself. Mr. Copeland Is both a teacher and a student, tuny realizing iwj npprcumkiuR; the needs and requirements of every branch in the service and actively sup plying the same, lor these reasons, ll 'or no other, the people of Columbia County want no change in the office of School Superintendent, and will vote for none. Mr, Copeland has dem onstrated in every way his superior , qualifications to ably direct the allalrsol office. His thorough familiarity with the duties of the olilce. bis competency to their faithful discharge, his ability to bring them to successful issue, hi ac quaintance with the people, amongst whom ne is universally esteemed and respected, all combine tq commend him to the electors, and with that usual dis play of wisdom, which is not lacking in Columbia County, they will retain Mr. Copeland a a most deserving young man and a a good, true anu triea omce who has proven himself worthy of the confidence and support.

The following article taken from the Forest Grov Times, tit the case so exactly in Columbia County that it is worth reproducins: "The purpose of the Eurocrats in this County Is to throw sand, figuratively speaking, in the eyes of the Independent voter and make them believe that In voting for one or two men on the Union ticket they would he voting just right. They would not. They would simply be voting to strengthen the Union party and to weaken the Republican party. Every vote for a Union candidate is a vote for Bryan and his cause ; is a vote to close the factories, and quench the fires of the smelters; is a vote to restore the failiion of patched breeches and empty dinner pails; is vote to re-inaugurate the necesaity for soup house and tha organization of Coxey armies; is a vote to put Democrats in oftice, the Democratic bosses in charge of affairs and write Democratic taws on the stat ute books ; i a vote lo furl the nag in the islands which the fortune of war have placed under our protection, and to disgrace n as a Nation in the eye of the civilised world. Every Republican who believes in the protective policy of his party, in the maintenance of the world's Iwst money standard, in the ability of the American people to govern justly distant Isles, in the continuance of the present prosperous times and contentment of the people, and is op posed to conditions that prevailed prior to the inauguration of President Mo Kinley, should vote the Republican ticket. If he believes Republican pol itics are best it is his patriotic duty to support them. A Wnao'a Awful Peril.

The candidate for County Judge on the Fusion ticket is no Thome in the Republicans' aide. We Doan know for certain, bnt it looks now as though the old gentleman's majority would be about 600. By Godfrey, we have the assurance of a good Census enumeration in the Sixth district. Notwithstanding the fact that there's a Sayler on the Populist ticket, the troubled water will be no easier to navigate. The Populist candidate for Commis sioner has no easy Case to fight. When competency In school work is to be considered, we have no one in this laud who can Cope with the present Superintendent. The weight of the dynamite dropped into the Populist camp by the political speaker here last Friday night was just about a Full-ton.
