THE FOLSOM ROAD ASSURED.
SECRETARY RYOFSTATE BROWNS
POSITION.
Says He Will Vote for a Deficiency
When He Learns Just What
is Necessary,

That the State Board of Examiners
will create "a deficiency for the PRISON
1und sufficient to guarantee the quai
rying and crushing of granite for the
Sacramento and Folsom macadanllzeu
road, there is no longer a DOUBT, ana
the only question that remains TO De
settled when the full board meets, IS
the amount of the deficiency.
AT the conference between Governor
Budd, Attorney General Fitzgerald and
Warden Aull in San Francisco carry
in the week, the Attorney-General gave
it as bis opinion that when the last
Legislature passed the Act making 1t
possible to construct the road, and or
dering that the metal be furnished by
the States rock crusher at Folsom, it
did SO in good faith, supposlng the
funds on hand We're ample to cover
expenses. and virtually contracting to
furnish the metal He considered the
officers of the State to be bound by
the contract of the Legislature, and
said he should vote for granting the
deficiency necessary to prosecute the
work.
Governor Budd agreed. with Attorney
General Fitzgerald, and notified his Of
Secretary of State Brown, who was
in the city when the conference at San
Francisco was held, was non-committal.
He was dissatisfied with the Act of the
Legislature which created the Folsom
Road Commission, and stated that he
would promise nothing until he had
carefully investigated the business.
Mr.. Brown was seen by a Record
Union" reporter yesterday, and, in
speaking of the proposed deficiency for
Quarrying and crushing the rock, said
he would certainly vote for it, but not
until he had aEscertaned just how much
money will be needed for the purpose.
He lid not believe, he said, in giving
people the amount of money they asked
for until he had satisfied himself that
they could get along with no less.
Il worked for the success of the
bond election in Sacramento County,
and others in my employ did the same, -
said Mr.. Brown, land l want to see the
road built, but l propose to see whether
S2o 600 will be necessary before l vote
to give that sum.
'As a matter of fact" he continued,
there are no more prisoners at Fol-
som now than there We're before the
rock crusher was erected there, but
there are a number of extra
guards employed for some reason un-
explained. | know of no reason why
the number of guards should be in
creased merely because some of the
prisoners are employed at the rock
crusher. A tower with a Gatling gun
would successfully guard the prisoners
at the Crusher, and the expense of the
additional guards would be saved.
don't Lelieve in the rock crusher any
way, and if l had a say in the matter
there would be radical change there"
In conclusion the Secretary of State
said he would willingly vote for a de-
ficiency after he had ascertained just
how much Will be needed.

When Mr.. White first captured the
fellow he searched him, finding two ra-
zors and other articles on him that had
not been taken from his house, and are
at the police station awaiting an owner.
When questioned by Officer Maley, the
fellow gave his name as Arthur Wilson.
He told where he was rooming. and
on search Maley found number of
things that had been stolen from base
ments lately.
It is evident the fellow has been con-
cerned in a number of basement rob-
berries, and as there is clear case of
burglary against him, the number may

DECIDEDLY IMMORAL.
The Character of the Old Ivy Green
Judicial1y Established.

Judge Johnson yesterday decided the
case of G. B. de Martini against the
estate of Manuel Dubois, in which the
plaintiff sought to enforce a five-yearS'
lease of the old Ivy Green on Third
street, between K and L, obtained
from Dubois.
w. A. Anderson, executor of the es-
tate, at the instance of the heirs, en-
deavored to terminate the lease on the
ground that the property was to be
used for immoral purposes, and held
that it, therefore, could not be enforced.
Judge Johnson finds that the house
had been used for IMMORAL purposes, as
claimed by the defense, and VIGOROUSLY
so. Judgment was therefore given
against the plaintiff.
1t now remains to be seen for what
uses the present owners will lease the

Many of us are no better than the
sleepy disciples. We too, have been
told to watch and pray. The Lord
Christ is still in The world. We are
set to watch and pray that the inter.
ests of the church may not suffer, that
we may not ourselves enter into temp,
tation. Many souls are in the crisis OF
decision. Our vigilance, sympathy,
our help, are needed that Christ may
triumph. But how, ,,indolent and indif-
ferent we seem to be !! Christ cometh
and finds us slumberiDg. While the
battle between his forces and those OF
Satan is raging We are taking our case,
and even while we sleep his cause is
BETRAYED. He is not less concerned
for his Church than he was for him
self in the far eff days of Peter, James
and John. He is as much grieved over
failure to watch as he was over that OF
his beloved disciples; and as he spoke
to them in gentle chiding, so he often
speaks to us when he is troubled at our
Indifference "What, could ye not
watch with me one hour?" 1t is a
small service to ask of us; it is little
time to give in self.sacrllcing and love
for him who sgorized for US and re-
deemed us, and who watches for us
through all our days.

sour Father"

How beautiful, and yet when you
think of it, how appropriate, is a fami-
ly prayer? The father and mother and
children, with perhaps: in some in
stances, the Whitehaired grandmother,
all kneeling at the family altar and
breathing the rich words, full of music,
uOur father" The God of the grand
parent is the God Of the youngest of the

great Divine Parent az the giver and

that all we are brethren. The father

When we fully comprehend the mean

derstand them with the heart as well
az with the head, with affections as
we'll as with the intellect, how much
brighter and better the world will be.
Social unestions that now perpleX
the thoughtful will be solved by the ex'
ercise of Christian love. Indeed, that
is the only remedy for the social ills
from which society suffers. There is
bread enough and to spare for all, but
love must dispense it. There will al.
ways be those who suffer. Sickness,
misfortune, bereavement, will ever
have it's victims but the Christian
heart, made tender by Gods love, will
wherever and whenever it can, sympa'
thize with the unhappy and the poor,
and extend the aid that is required.
.'Our Father" Ours. Then the

indeed. God has made of one blooC

"Our Father" properly understood
means that our efforts, our means

Intense earnestness and self-sac

Christ for the World.

These words often are used as a
motto. They serve we'll in that capaci-
tv because they are so full Of meaning.
Did YOU ever think how human history
would appear to one unfamiliar with it,,
if it were to be represented in kind
of panorama? All its events previous
to the birth and life of Jesus Christ
would be seen to be preparatory for
them, and all its subsequent events to
be shaped and colored by them. The
short period of life Of Christ would
seem to be, as it was and is, and CEN
trail, pivotal perioG of human history:
Heis gradually conquering the world
by the might of love. Before his COM
ing the nations had been prepared for
it. although they knew it not, and
since his ascension their preparation
has continued in different manner tor
another and a different coming, which
will reveal the superior closeness and
power and beauty of his relation to
men. He is coming in the spread OF
enlightenment, of the knowledge OF
righteousness, of loyalty to God, and
of consecrated service for ones fellow
men. He is coming even by means ol
wars and floods and pestilences and
whatever else turns human hearts
away from material things and directs
them toward God.
1t is faith in his coming-not at any
stated day or in any manner to be fore
seen and particularly declared, but in
the spirit and with power-which is
the inspiration Of true missionary SER
vice, whether in ones own home or
community, or in The remote regions oil
our own land or abroad. Every day
bring that coming nearer, although II
may not be scenic display, compre'
hensive and dramatic, but only re-
velation to the hearts of his people one
by one. But whatever its form, its
meaning is the same.
We are to pray for it. We are to
labor for it. But are We not also tc
assume that it has indeed begun
already? If Christ had not come tc
the world and claimed it irresistihly a.
his own and set himself to redeem il
for himself, it would not be the world
which, in spite of all its faults, 1t is
