THE LOCAL OPTION ELECTION.

The local option election for Lincoln cou hy is to he held November nth
If you wish to vote, you'd better register at once.
Iii generally conceded that this county will go dry. But as many elections
have been lost by overccnfdence, the dry patsans need to get out every vote,
and not let up a minute until the polls are closed. And a large vote to show
just how the people stand, ought to be desired by both sides. An mdete1min-
ate vote, where enough stay away to possibly change the result, in unsatsfac-
tory and unfair; it leads to fluiless strife that could not follow a decisive vic
tory either way Better fight it GU. and setteH it.
The Recorder does not wish to restrict any mans real right to use liquor if
he wants OF needs it, But society can and must impose restrictions on anything
others breathe, ever though n dong 1t you be carrying Of a legitimate bust
ness;n Tor holer or make violent noises to disturb their rest; % do any of a
thousand other things that may endanger OF annoy others. Tits a penalty o a
price that any man must pay who lives among other men, that his rights
must cease where the rights of others begin. All rights are comparative only;
as one acquires me- community or restrictive rights through organized society
he loseso other individual rights that tepass on other mel. The nan nthe will
deiness may have a legal r moral to shoot swear start fires, carry lep1osy OF
smallpox, make and use ntoxcants, and do other things OF like nature. But If
eve me other man enters the wilderness, the rights OF the fist are curtaled;
but he gains IN their combined power 10 resist Indians, or combat disease, or to
secure transportation or market facilities. So the right to make or sell or use
intoxicants within civilization depends on their effect OF others. Civilization
says that ntoMcants areh harmful it is q legal and a moral right to limit or pro
hbit them for the general good-an the boczeseler or user can acquire n in
herent rights in a business that harms others.
Richfeld and Goodng, two of the isest towns ever established in Southern
Idaho, have both prospered best without liquor II Boise has prospered under
the free sale of liquor, and that is a reason for them to vote wet, surely the
moral and business prosperity Of Rehfed and Cooling is enough to let u own
experience guide our votes.

A RAILKoAD BAsIs ZOE ooNFIDENoE.

1t wouldn't be at all surprising if the merry springtme would sec the Short
Line building a line through Richfed to Camas Prairie and on to Boise. It's
natural route for a railroad; it runs through a country Of rich and easily devel
oped resources; and the first road in will occupy q strong strategic position a
minimum of cost Boise, the state capita, is Off the present main line of ira
vel; it's going to be worth son roads while to reach them. And Short Line
engineers are already investigating in that direction.
Such a road, if built by the Short Line, would almost necessarily come tnc
Richfeld, follow the canal and Maad river grade, and then cross over into the
Boise river basin and on down to Boise.
1t would greatly enhance property values here. 1t wouldn't make the all
more pure, or the rich soil more productive, or the seasons better. But more
people, and better markets and better transportation, make the values Of good
lands go up like a banoon-ony that they go up to stay.
Property in and around Richfed and or the Idaho Irrigation Company tract
is worth owning mad improving There ISM a better place in the West TO ex-
pend confidence and money.
