II SHOULD NoT BE DIFFICULT TO ENFoRcE.

Judging from the vote recorded week
ago Wednesday, the enforcement of the To-
cal option law should not be difficult in this /
county. Public sentiment is potent fac
tor in helping to prevent the breaking of
the law and also in actuating officers in the
rigid enforcement of the statutes. A law
that meets the approval Of the people gen
orally is much easier to rigidly enforce than
one which the people oppose. For these
reasons prohibition in Bear Lake should be
decidedly successful, especially if the many
people who voted against the saloon will
unite with the officials in endearing to sup
press the sale Of liquor. A notable victory
has been won, but that proverbia1 eternal
vigilance is necessary if we are to fully
reap the benefits Of the changed condition.
Undoubtedly attempts will be made to sell
liquor in violation of the law, but with the
almost unanimous condemnation of the peo-
pie of the county few individuals will make
such attempts. Bear Lake county, by rea-
son of the great number of people who are
opposed to the liquor traffic, should be the
freest from the evils Of "blind tigers, etc.,
of any county in the state and can be made
so if the people will act on the theory that
in casting their ballots against the saloon
they only fire the first gun, although it was
13-incher, in the campaign for better
moral condition.

Tn the last issue this paper criticised
the telephone service in this valley. Some
people received wrong impression from
that article, concluding that it was the lo-.
cal persons connected with the telephone
company that were to blame This is
far from what we intended. From the in
formation that comes to this Office from re-
liable sources the equipment here is such
that it is impossible to give the people
the service to which they are entitled.
In publishing this statement we only reiter-
ate expressions heard every day from
patrons of the Bell company in this valley.
