the auditor general had only receded
from this position upon the advice
and instruction Of Hon. John E. Bird,
then attorney general. and now a
member of the supreme court.
Convinced Law Was Unjust.
Further information came to me to
the effect that through the activity
and opposition of former Justice
Montgomery. similar bill had been
defeated in the last legislature, and
that Republican convention at
Grand Rapids had, refused to incor-
porate in the party platform a plank
advocating the repeal Of the law in
question.
All of this convinces me that the
bill should not become a law. If it
should become law, it would con-
done in some measure the fragrant vio-
lation of the law by Justice Bird, who
has not yet taken up his residence in
Lansing. 1t is argued in behalf of
JUSTICE blTu IIldl he WAS dppOlnleu III
June, 1910, TO fill a short unexpired
term, and that in November, 1910, he
was elected for Only a short term. At
the election this spring, Justice Bird
was chosen for a regular term Of eight
years. He has not seen fit to obey the
law yet 1t is my opinion, that a per-
son fitted for membership OF the great
est court in our state, should obey the
law to the letter, and that Justice Bird
should have removed to Lansing i'm
mediately upon his acceptance of a
justiceship.
The force of example of men in high
places-and i'm the supreme court of
all places-cannot be under estimated.
II such men carelessly, designedly. and
1agrantly violate the law, what can
be expected of the average citizen?
IL Is because of this that l consider the
mere question as TO where the justices
shall live. to be of small consequence
i'm comparison.

A Travellers House

Departing from the commercial
American Idea and following a pref
ty foreign custom, the Albany hotel,
the most popular hotel in the Rocky
Mountain region, is becoming home
for travellers.
Traveller House," the transla-
ton OF foreign name, best expresses
the Albany ideal. 1t implies perfect
service to the least detail that makes
for the comfort of the traveller.
No expense has been spared to
make tho Albany like big hospit-
able home. It is for this purpose that
continual improvements are being
made. Within the past six months
$22, 900 has been spent in recarpeting,
redecorating and enlarging the hotel.
There 10 always something new at
the Albany. This not only pleases,
but delights, travellers. who respond
to the warm welcome and the ex-
pressed desire to attend to their ply
steal comforts.
