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. Be it rembered, and it must be admitted,

Road Supervisor Harvey of Mist
galled at our den Tuesday.
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

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. No free white
American citizen, with brains and backbone, will ac
