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.

FALSE ADORING OF LINCOLN
Hypocritical Praises for that
Martyred Statesman.
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.

MORE OF MAN SUFFRAGE
Prescription No. 2 From Pr.
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.

SCHOOL. SUPERINTENDENCY.
Affairs In Splendid Hands During
Two Years Fast.
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.

PHILIPPINE LETTER
From Columbia County Lad--
A Soldier There.
Would Like to Hear From Former
Acquaintance Great Amount

Editor Orkoon Mist. Thinking you
would like to hear from a soldier who
was born and raised In Columbia
County, I pick np m pen to drop you a
lew tines, itio went nor is irigiitinuy
hot both day and night and it is hard to
iret anv sleen on account of heat and
extra duty. This Is 1'iilin Sunday and the
natives are colebi iitina. The rhildrun are
gathered in group carrying large palm
leave and look like a moving forest.
The war Is now over except lor la-
drones (robbers) and pirates, who keep
everybody on ttie lookout. Murder are
committed dally among the natives.
I will tie glnd to get luck to Columbia
County. 1 left It on the Mth of July,
1802. I lived in Beaver valley with Mr.
and Mrs. Kyser, and went to school at
Beaver Fall achoolliouse. It anyone
who knew me there should read this
I will be glad If they would kindly
writ to me. It is very dull hero. We
have had very tittle spare time I have
hud onlv three davs off ilntv aluce tha
6th of last NovcinWr and do not ex
pect any more for at least three months.
We are kept busy scouting and hunting
ladrones, and every third night, guard,
so you will see a soldier's life In the
Philippines is not a happy one. There
is a great dent of fever on the island
now. There are tweuty men on sick
report in this company alons F Co., of
the Third infantry. Had ninety-nix
men on sick report at one time.
Yours respectfully,

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.
"There is only one chance to save
vour life and that Is through an opera
tion" were the startling words heard by
Mrs. I. f. Hum, oi inline niufra, rtis.,
from her doctor after he had vainly
tried to cure her of a frightful case of
stomach trouble and yellow jaundice.
Gall stones had formed and she con
stantly grew worse. Then she began to
use Electric Hitters which wholly cured
her. It's a wonderful stomach, liver
snd Kidney remedy. Cures dyspepsia,
lnas of annetite. Trv it. Onlv "60 rents.

rOLITlCAI, 1TKM8.
Merrill-y goes the campaign.
Somebody 1 certain to be Slaughtered.
With no opposition, the Republican
candidate stands more than a Little
allow to be elected Surveyor.
Watts the matter with re-electing the
present County Clerk? Nothing. He's
alt right!
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.
Tf thn cnniliilnta for Road Rnnervlsor
on the Republican ticket in Union pre
cinct is elected on the fourth of June,
we see no reason In the world why w
cannot have Plank road for the next
two year.
