PROHIBITION
is HARMFUL
>eACC0Tdinq 10 ''JuniuS" Who SAYS
Il Has teiIed In Number
of States.

Boise, Idaho, Oct. 12-Politics
seem to be all the rage in the section
CT the State. Both parties are get
ting very busy both on the stump and
in the newspapers, and there is much
doing all along the line
M. Alexander, the Democratic can
didate for governor, is making a
whirlwind campaign in North Idaho
and expects to be in this section of
the state about the Goth of the month.
James H. Brady, the Republican
candidatee, has been touring the
northern part of the state and will
now give his attention more particu-
larily to the southeastern part He
reports good audiences and general
attention to the speakers in their dis
cussion of political matters.
There does not seem to be much in
terest taken in the local option or
prohibition matter; it is difficult to
secure attention in a discussion of
these topics on the stump. AS a
matter of fact, very little is said
about it, as the people are interested
in more important questions. The
fact that wherever prohibition or local
option has been tried they hiave prov
en- signal failures is sufficient to cause
conservative people to hesitate long
time before plunging Idaho into the
maelstrom of uncertainty and probable
disaster.
Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Is
land, New Hamshire, Michigan, Iowa
Illinois, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and
South Dakota have made a more OF
less disastrous failure of prohibition
and have abandoned it for license
Prohibition has been and must always
by a failure because it refuses to rec
ognize natrual laws; it is parent tc
illicit traffic; it is a violation of the
spirit and essence of American institu-
tion that spring from right ideas OF
personal liberty.
What conservative people are stand
ing for now in all sections of the state
is strict regulation of the Liquor
traffic.
Wherever prohibition has beer
tried, statistics show that the drinl
evil is not lessened and that the stat

loses much revenue which goes To

pay annually State and Government
license amounting TO S272. 600, 900. In
addition they pay city license, real
estate and personal property taxes
amounting TO SS4. 900, 600.
1t is strange that sane men should
seriously propose to blot out this vast

by the Routt County Development Com
pany: but they have not been carried on
to SUFFICIENT degree to afford ground
for colony comment.
In Oregon there have been several i'm
portant undertakings and the total area
withdrawn from entry by the state under
the authority of the Carey act is $685. 807
acres. which are to be reclaimed by
twenty different companies at q total
estimated cost Of 1902 TOO In some
cases the work is well under way and a
considerable portion of the lands have
been sold and settled by actual farmers.
Other systems OF irrigation are still un-
der construction. Altogether the reports
from Oregon are favorable.
In Montana 1t is alleged that there
has been considerable fraud Ind that a
part, IL not ALL Of the $1,000 acres which
have been patented under the Carey act
have been unlawfully obtained 1t is
freely charged that the land Is not now
cultivated and is not in the hands of
actual settlers. The Governor of Mon
tana has intimated that it may become
necessary to apply for a cancellation Of
the patents. The state engineer has been
frauds, and has expressed his conviction
that the state should set itself right by
annulling the patents and recover the
land. There are certain complications,
however, which would make such action
difflcult. Bonds have been issued upon
the lands and are now in the hands of
innocent purchasers. The question Is an
exceedingly perplexing one and is now
under consideration by the officials of the
Department of the Interior.
AS rule. however. the operations Of
the Carey act have been. conducted with
out fraud or friction. The state oflicials
have been careful in their contracts with
private corporations to see that the rights
of the settlers are thoroughly protected,
and that the generosity of the federal
government Is not imposed upon. While
the construction work on several Of the
irrigation systems has not been Of such
a substantial or expensive character as
that now being done upon the thirteen
projects of the reclamation service, 1t
