MAY START LAUNDRY
IN MONTPELIER

Secretary Roberts of the Com
\mercial club has received letters
during the past week from two diff
erent parties, asking what the OF :

Ma hndry: One gentleman of Sterl
ing, Colo, writes that he has had
~ years experience in the laundry
business and has the capital with
Which to put in good plant here
if the business will warrant it.
The other gentleman, who re-
sides IN Casper, Wyo, wants TO
know If the city has has an electric
light plant, and If not he wants to
know what the chances would be
for putting in an electric light
plant, along with steam laundry.
The Examiner believes that there
is a splendid field here for fret
class laundry, and hopes that one
of the above named gentlemen may
be induced to locate here. There
are but few towns IN the west in
which laundry would have as
great a territory to draw bus,nes
from as one in Montpelier.
We understand that the Jensen
Creamery Co. is also favorably con-
sidering Montpelier as a good point
in which to establish a milk con-
densory. Should the company de-
eide to erect condensory here,
they will put in $15,o plant to
start with and increase its capacity
as fast as the business would war
rant. A representative of the COM
pany recently expressed the opinion
that Bear Lake valley is an ideal
section for the diary industry and
considered Montpelier as being the
best point of any one of the three
other towns the company had iu
view for the establishment of
condensory.

ELECT SENATORS
BY DIRECT VOTE

In an address before the U. S.
Senate last Friday, in advocacy of
the election of senators by direct
vote of the people, Senator Borah
spoke in part as follows:
"In some fourteen instances
states have gone without full repre-
sentation in the senate because Of
deadlocks in the Legislature. In
other instances bribery and corrup
ton and scandal have attached to
the sessions.
sit is not alone that direct and
open bribery sometime prevails, but
that which is equally as bad more
often prevails-bills and measures
are traded upon and killed; the
public interest is sacrificed or actual.
ly bartered away; patronage and Of
flee enter into the deal and the whole
affair becomes q disgrace and is of
itself sufficient condemnation Of the
present system"
The senator especially cited the
contests in Pennsylvania in 1900; in
Maryland in 1904 and in Missouri
in 1905.
"Prior to 1872 we had but one
case Of alleged election bribery con-
nected with seat on this floor.
Since that time we have had ten, to
say nothing of a number of investi
cations before state legislatures
which never reached this body.
Mr.. Borah referred to the present
senatorial investigation, the case of
Senator Lorimer of Illinois, as an
illustration of the avice of the sys
tenn under which we now elect SEN
atOrs."
"lf there is any state in which
the present system might be fairly
tested it ought TO be Illinois. No
is better fitted in
tradition, in pride of history, in the
justice and manhood of her people
to meet and discharge the duties
which properly pertain to the state.
Yet her prominence now and during
the last year is not due to her indus
trial prowess, but to that scandal
and shame which has been fastene
upon her by reason of senatorial
election"
Senator Borah concluded with an
appeal for popular vote and TO an
"open forum upon which beats the
fierce light Of public opinion"

All Rely on the .Rarher.

THE office building barber is the
man who is the modern guardian of
old ties and associations" said one
razor artist on the nineteenth fioos of
a structure the other day. "When a
man first comes TO Chicago and goes
to work in an Office building he soon
makes the acquaintance OF the barber
shop under the same roof. After
while he may change his position -
shift around many times-but In most
cases he keeps coming back to the
first barber. and thus keeps In touch
