COMPULSORY SECOND CHOICE.

The primary election probably just over, demonstrates the
short-sighted wisdom of the statesmen who were so afraid OF
losing their hold on politics that they had to repeal the not
to-becontrolled second choice requirement of the law, and
leave all nominations to be made by a plurality vote supple
mented by an optional second choice if no candidate receives
more than 40 per cent of the first choice votes.
The Recorder has always believed in the compulsory sec
ond choice as the essence of popular control. Two times
out OF every three, the first choice is based on more or less
personal or selfish reasons; in cases where no one candidate
towers above all the others, the second, or ultimate, or com
promise choice is the real wish of the people. 1t amounts as
far as may be, to the second ballot in a convention, that is so
destructive to 'favorites. = A sec ond-choice compromise is
a better winner, represents public sentiment far better, than
an active frst-choice candidate who has powerful, implacable
opposition. The true test of a mans popularity, of the pub
lie estimate of him, is the public readiness to accept him as
the ultimate choice. In short, the compulsory second choice
IS the nearest to a second ballot, ora tenth, orr fftieth; which
always registers the public will. 1t is a short cut to that ut-
innate choice: it puts into The one vote the verdict that might
not be reached by fifty voluntary ballots--but which would
be inevitable if the public be consulted.
But far more than any other effect, the compulsory sec

We have been called to account by
several OF our chicken raj Ing friends
because we minated the other day
that it irked us to have some one talk
about the vast profits he was making
from his hennery.
After discussing the business in all
its phases We have realized that cur
comment was unjust. We never be-
fore appreciated what a royal read to
wealth leads to and from the chicken
coop. 1t is a simple matter OF geo
metrical progression. The only dan
ger is that one may attempt too much
at the start.
From what We have learned, the
wise plan is to purchase one reli Bile
hen. When she has laid a dozen g g
set her. You Will in three weeks
have a dozen chicks, of which, say,
ten will be hens.
These hens. IN turn lay a dozen
eggs each and are set The result is
an average Of ten hens from each set
ting. You now have Ill hens work
ing for you. From their settings you
get LILO more hers. One more set
ting and you should have a grand to
tai o. 12,542 hens laying an egg a
day for you You may set all these
hens, but it Is Just as well to be con
servaiive, for their eggs, at an aver
age price OF SO cents a dozen will
give you a daily income of $370.26.
The natural inc. ease in the flock
n six month time will Increase your
laily income to $500, which should
any one.
We are glad to lave our opinion of
'hicken raising thus revised and re
'ersed.

KNOW WHO THEY WANT IN WASHINGTON, ANYHOW.

The Progressive party of Idaho seems to be not at all
sure just how far to 90 in putting up a ticket. With the at
titude of the republican party in the state SO well defined. it
is doubtful whether a third ticket is justified. But the Pro
gressives have proved their sanity and good political judg-
ment by unqualifedly endorsing Senator Borah and Con
gresham French. These two men are the real, ideal type of
public servants the republican masses want. The Progress
ives profess to be the very commonest of the masses; if these
are their ideals, they are altogether on the right track. In
the choice of these men by the two parties, however, there is
Il difference: They are the unanimous choice of the Pro
gressives, while there is a strong minority of the republican
party that would gladly ditch them if the people would stand
for it. The Progressives may be new, and much at sea in
their notions of what to do in other matters; but the fact that
they have picked unerringly the peoples choice Of all the re-
publican statesmen Idaho has had in a decade. dignifes their
judgment and ecommends their cause amazingly.

ond choice takes away the last power of the machine politi-
clan. Almost any power can put up its chosen strong candi-
date, and by quietly boosting a few ''favorite sons for the
same office all over the state, can now name the winner on a
very small percentage of the total vote. 1t is true that this
has not happened. yet--but there are several powerful inter
ess in the state that will put it to the test. A first choice is
comfortable, by promises, by personal influences, by preju-
dice. No man can say where the second choice will 90; it is
comfortable only by the public willard that is the object of
elections.
A return to the compulsory second choice would make for
better politics. Every one intelligent enough to be trusted
with the ballot, Has a second or ultimate choice in every field
of three or more candidates. In the interest of popular rule,
the majority should see that this is the way out of the cum
ming manipulation of the minority that would divide and
rule.

Only Made Il Worse.

James Payn cells of a whist player
being told by an opponent that he
could always tell by his face when
ne had a good hand. This he resent
ed exceedingly, and applied to his
partner for a refutation of it; but he
was still more irritated by his form
of confederation, that he had never
noticed any expression in his coun-
tenance whatever"

Got Away With Many NickeIs.

With his pockets stuffed with nick
els, a man was arrested in Mount Yer
non, N. Y, a few days ago., charged
with vagrancy. Puzzled at the jingling
sounds issuing from his garments, the
police searched his clothes finding, to
their a~mazement, that 500 nickels were
slowed about his person. The prison
er then confessed that he had tapped
a nickel-in-the-slot machine and made
away with $40.

No Freedom for Him.

1t was his first visit to this country
and he was anxious to see as much OF
it as possible in a short time. In a
brief visit to the south he met an
aged negro who had been a slave.
How interesting" he remarked. "And
after the war you had our freedom?"
The old man looked at him half sadly,
half sheepishly, shook his woolly head
and said: mo, sab. All didn't git
no freedom-Ah done wus married"

Wrono Idea About Whales.

Since The time of Aristotle people
have assumed that whales blow water
through their noses, not, as is actually
the case, condensed breath. That this
view was wrong is proved by the fact
alone that the III. Dat Of the whale,
which is the only way that the water
can enter, is not connected with the
air passage.

After seven years of waiting, Idaho has moved into her
new state house, several. of the state officers having taken up
their quarters in the new capitol 1t will be a fine building:
it will cost no one a sum that he will ever feel. The most
pungent criticism is that it is built on SO small a tract, only
two blocks, and that to give it room the historic old capitol
must be torn down, and so many beautiful trees cut down.
No glores of stone can compare with the beautiful trees that
make Boise attractive. But-there you are; we have the
capitol right where and what i. is. And we can grow trees
in the country!

Sea Narrowing E~ngIand's Shores.

In the past 80 years more than 5000
acres of England's coast have slipped
away into the sea. The county of
Yorkshire has been the chief suffer-
er, losing about 500 acres. Lancashire
and Suffolk have each lost almost 500
acres and Kent, Sussex and Lincoln
shire have added materially to the
total.
