NOi-PARTlSANSHIP.
The contest iu. Portland between
i, Messrs Devliu and lane, Lr the mayor
alty, brings forward all' tho old stork
arguments in favor of uom-parlisati:hip
in county and municipal contests. ' We
are told that the voter should not eon
aider the political affiliation of Uie can
didates, but should select the one that
, will make the lest public officer. The
. argument is always used by the minority
party and ia intended to influence those
who imagine they are independent
voters. It has defeated many a good
man as it defeated Withycombe and
has put many an incompetent Into
office. It is ouly a half truth. Neither
party nor personal fitness should be lost
sight of in a contest for tiovernor of Or
, egoo or Mayor of ronland- Both should
have their .weight. Tho republican
voter owea his support to Devlin pro
vided Devlin is a fit man for the office
to which be aspires. Tli.it should be
. tho only question. The assumption that
he will favor corporate interest at the
- expense of the public goad appears -to
bare no foundation in ins previous
record. He is not an unknown man.
At present lie holds the very important
position of Auditor of the City of Port
land, and lie appears to have made a
good public servant, and to be a good
citizen, thoroughly interested in the
wellfare and progress of the community
that has honored him With it confidence
and with a spinal column of sufficient
rieidity to withstand any amount of
pressure that may be brought upon him
to force incompetent men upon the pub
lic service merely because they bear the
Repnblican label. We do not believe
the "undesirable" element can expect
any favors from Mr. Delvin, should he
be elected Mayer.
About the same thing can be said in
favor of Mayor Lane, though it is tot
to his credit that ha permits a dirty
personal attack upon - his opponent.
Lane has accomplished considerable in
the-cause of better municipal govern
ment. In fact he h,;s done so well that
"' he has estranged an element in his
own party that has heretofore given
. him its hearty support, and they are
opposing him today, though not openly.
If a man of wavering character, whose
honesty was doubted, or who was afraid
to express himself upon questioi-s of
vital interest to the city of Portland had
, been nominated the. Republican voters
would have had just cause to desert him
and flock to the standard of Harry Lane;
- but, a we view it, there h? nettling good
" that can be said of Mr. Lane that dots
not apply with equal force to his opnon
ent. This being true, party organiz
ation is entitled to tome recognition.
Mr. Devlin won his nomination honestly,
and . his Republican opponent, in ti.e
primaries are supporting him loyally,
and all other Republicans should follow
their examole. The greatest and b?ct
' men the party ever had, from Lincoln to
Roosevelt, were warm blooded partisans,
who believed in supporting Republican
nominees lor all important ollices, pro
viding, always, that they were honest
and capable meri. As we uad-r.-tarid it.
!Mr. Devlin asks fur nothing b'lta &jua:e
deal, and is running on his merits a a
man and public officer, as well i:i upon
the principles and platform of the Re
publican pa-ty. ,,
PIONEER REUNION.

"Dr. King's Xcw Discovery is my best
eirthly friend. It cured me of asthma
six years ago. It has also performed a
wonderful cure of incipient consumption
for my son's wife. The first bottle ended
the terrible cough, and this accomplish
ed, the other symptoms lefone by one,
until she was perfectly well. Dr. Kings
Xew Discovery's power over coughs and
colds is simply marvelous." Xo other
remedy has ever equaled it. Fully

THE COMMERCIAL ILIB.
Ail liilcreKlius; Messlou at the t'ounlj
Court Kooin.
The Houlton-St. Helens Board of
Trade met at the County Court room In
St, Helena last Monday evening, and
had a very interesting feision, the chief
top'n-s hcu-sed Uing sand-lime brick,
the road between the two com in it i,i ties
and the njatu-r of advertising our te-
source, in order that people liny be
attracted to Columbia County.
Mr. M. C. Gray handled tho brick
question, and mated that recent a'Dtys
demonstrated , that we had plen'y of
stnd containing over sixty per cent of
silii-it, nhich seeiuit to bo the kind of
stuff r.ccesif.vy to make the right kind
ot saml linie brick He neeioed to think
this was the most important iubj.-ct that
could occupy the attention of the twin
ciiien, and advocated doing everything
to denionftrate to posnible investora that
we have what they are looking for.
Tho matter of the county roid between
the twocitii'S was discussed quite freely
un I it developed there is quite a diver
gence of opinions as to the prop.-r line
of said highway, which will be inv.sti
gatt'il more tlmroiiglily before nctiv
work ia beitun.
A. M. Worrell, representing the l'o: t
htnd Board of Trads Journal, mndo n
proportion to ndvertine Columbia Coun
ty in that publication provided the citi
zens would take advertising at tho rate
of sixty dollars per page. Ho set forth
the advantage to be derived from amdi
u proposition In a very effective manner,
and, after he lmdcoiicludud it was decid
ed to invite the local newspaper men to
become members of the club without
pnyaicnt of the tustoii'ury fee of 2.o0,
and that they he reoueHcd to oiiblish
the proci-ed.'ngs und U ) as much other
free alvertising a possible; all of which
the Mist ha do; e So- n nuarter of a
century, and will probably continue to
do.
