In the event of Govomcr Chamberlain's re-nomi nation, the Register will undoubtedly support him; not because he is a democrat merely, but because he has proven himself an able and conscientious execu tive, and has moreover allied himself on the side of the comon people in every instance where it became necessary to make a choice. But it goes without saying, that a nomination will be made by the republicans, if the harmony now so densely pervading their camp continues, and in iew of the possibility of an election, following such nominations, the Register is interested in seeing the most efficient, fearless and honest man in the republi can fold declared its standard bearer; for do not we all have to suffer the consequences of the ill-advised acts, which are not infrequent, of the republicans? From the republican candidates now in the field, and we cannot be accused of speaking from any person al motive, Mr. Geer has proven himself not wanting in any of the particulars going to the general makeup of a worthv executive. That the others have not so proven themselves, may be from lack of opportunity, but this is for the people to consider and determine for themselves.

Geer has for twenty years been in demand to promul gate the principles of his party; he has helped make Oregon history, and what he has made is not a blot on k Oregon's escutcheon; he does not belong to the Williamson-Herman contingent; and he is one of Oregon's foremost statesmen and citizens.

A new railroad company Portand yesterday under the name of the Portland & Southwestern railway, with the avowed purpose of constructing a steam road from Scappoose to Nehalctu bay. The incorporators are H. G. Piatt and Robert T. Piatt, two well-known Portland attorneys, and G. J. Perkins, an employe in their office. It is resorted that they represent one of the transcontinental lines, probably the Northern Pacific. The capitalization is 1100,000. Included in the announced purports of the corporation is construction of telegraph and telephone lines. The incorporate are silent as to their connections, and the plans of the company's backers. "There is nothing I can give for publication at this time. I can only say it is not a paper railroad, and that there will be some construction work done during the ensuing year," said Harrison G. Piatt. "It is not my railroad, for I have not the money to build a railroad. But it is backed by capital, and means railroad building. We have taken only the i litial step bv incorporating. The company will be organized next week." For the last two weeks engineers have been stir veying between Scappoose and the Nehalem divide. it was supposed they were working in the interest of the Northern Pacific's proposed connection with the Pacific Railway & Navigation company's railroad under construction by K. IS. Lytic, between Portland, Tillamook, Nehalem and Astoria. According to Mr, : Lytic' s official statement, there has been, from the in ception of his line, an understanding that the roar was independent and would make connections with the Harriman lines at Portland and the Hill roads at Scap poose, The articles of incorjioration now filed by the Portland & Southwestern provide that it may con struct branch feeder rail lines, opente river and ocean steamers, engage in the express business, construct electric light and power plants, and "assist other rail roads and steamship lines." Mr. Piatt states that the road will be operated by steam power. A town councilman of Rainier, who is also a candidate for county commissioner, if he can get the nomination in the republican primary, met the editor of the Register at the depot and informed us that forty of our subscription list would be cut off, before we left town. We were only there three hours and we added nve new names to our Kainier list, mat is one eighth of the forty. We have lost none of the forty as yet. Rainier s distinguishe City Attorney, we notice by last week's Review, has broken out in a new place This time it is seventeen stanzas of four lines eac arranged to resemble poetry, the worst ever. We wonder that a newspaper wuld devote half column o valuable space to the printing of such rot. There is someteing radically wrong in the post al service between Rainier and Houlton. Two letters went astray last week and have not come to hand as ritlMAKY ElECTIUS. In giving voice to its adhcrcance to the primary election law the Oregonian says: "For the present we hall have to do without the services of the class of mm whos senstoveness to the proprieties of politics, and to their conceptions of their own personal dignity, will not permit them to an nounce their intentions to be canbulates. All of which is probably true. But it does not follow that the public will hereby suffer, for, assum ing that the modest gentleman referred to are of su perior intelligence, the fact remains that honest igno rance in office is less dangerous to the general weal than intellignt dishonesty. However, the rule is that the vast majority of men are at heart honest in all stations of life. The falling away from the straight walks is the result of our money mildness. That we shall recover is evidenced by what has happened in life insurance circles, by the work of such men as Folk, L. Follettc, Jerome, Lawsou and Russell and by the President's big stick and square deal. If those who have strayed furthcrest from the straight way are the most intelligent and fittest ones for public service, then naturally they will lie the last to return, and it is altogether well they should hide beneath the cloak of modesty while they make the journey. Meantime the people of Oregon can afford to put up with what may liefall them under the primary law in the way of public servants. When the -prodigal re turns then shall we kill the fatted calf. The question raised as to the sufficiency of the Primary election law to clarify politics within party lines when the voting joint at primary elections js reached, the Register does not believe to lc a ser ious one. The declared purpose of the law is to protect arty organization against disorganizing influences from every sourse. lo this end the statute itself in Section one provides that the law shall lie so consent ed as to give effect to its puriHtsc, and no olitieal trickery should le permitted to defeat it. If, for instance, an aggregation of voters in either jwrty hould conspire to vote upon their party ticket for the general election of the candidate of an opposing party, and that vere jx-rmissiblo, the effect would lie to de- troy the purpose and intent of the law. Votes cast y one party in a primary election for any member of an opposing, in effect and in law, would lie on all fours with votes that might le ca-t for a subject of King Sdward.

A newspaper to be a success must be a part of the real life of the community where it exists. It must take an active interest in all occurances, and be ready to commend or censure the acts of publec officers in their official capacity, as the character of those acts shall warrant. But when the owner of a paper is afraid to express an opinion on a subject of general interest, and on a subject, too, that is generally dis cussed, he may rest assured that the people of Coltim jia county will not tumble over each other in their efforts to subscribe to his paper. The "Rainier Review" in a recent editorial at tempts to apologise for some of the recent acts of the Kainier town council, to defend the council's actions, and generally to pacify everybody with special refer ance to the occupation tax. It will not do, Mr. Re view, you are either for or against; you must take one side or the other; you cm not straddle I he fence and trust to luck to drop off on the popular side. The editorial alluded to, says, the people of Rainier have a remedy well known to every citizen. Sure, they have, they or some one of them can take the matter into the courts, and so give their once-a-week city attorney a chance to rake off another handsame fee for defending the town and his ordinance. Just the thing for the city attorney, one would almost think he had written the editorial. But what about the business men whose occupations are taxed to raise money to pay these fees? Again the editor says the council meetings are ojk.ii and public. Oil, yes, indeed; council meetings seldom begin in Rainier before nine o'clock at night, and often later. Can jK-ople who follow useful and decent occu pations be up all night to attend meetings held at sucl unreasonable hours? Such people are tired out by the lalior of the day, and when night conies are glad to be- home and at rest as decent jieople should be. The late hours at which council meetings are held prevents many from attending, who otherwise would do so. The result is, so far as publicity is concerned, the meetings might as well be held behind closed doors. The editor also says the people can remonstrate; what good would that do? Last September the people did remonstrate against granting a water and light franchise to persons who offered no guaranty of responsibility. No remon strance, with a better list tf names, or one based on better reasons could possibly be presented; and yet that remonstrance was ignored by this same council. And the result then foretold, has so far taken place. Rai nier has been MAGOONED. . Last of all that harmo ny is a great thing for Rainier s growth. This is true but according to the Review it must be harmony based on accepting all the acts of the town officers without question and withont criticizing them.
