his remarks he announced that this was an era of applied power Continuing, he said:
 Two things make our age, discovery and application. The world is searcneu for forces, and human ingenuity is taxed in the s,ractical application of them, hehGe we have machinery and organization. IT the religious world we see the marks or on practical power. Religion like pent-ulI sea seeks for freedom and application. Al least four departments of life 1llustrate this spirit, politics, business, amusements and labor. Politics is the science ot gov ernment and Is the realization of reIeioiI in the state. Politics is synonymous WlIn corruption, bossism. falsehood. bribery htical scandals, and every great city IS more or less footed by politicians"
 The speaker read an editorial showing up the Board of Education in San Francesca: referring to the private and corrupt deai between the supplies committee or the board and contractors, whereby the Mls- sion school has been equipped with more furnaces, patent chairs, desks, ana type writers than there Is room for.
 If the permission to do this was on the basis of a "divvy'' then there are some should go to a less comfortable place.
 The greatest evils are entrenched in pol itics. The social evil, the saloon. gam, bling, and every department of municipal government. They are all hedged in and protected by the barbed-wire fences of political pulls. Even our public schools are caught Tn the meSneS or pOiltlCS. DIE steals are condoned, but the poor fellow who steals a loaf of bread goes to jail.
 There Is no better place for man to practice religion than in his citizenship. No better place for the priest and the preacher and the church deacon. When a preacher gets too good for legitimate poli- tics he is ready to go to the land where there Is no politics.
 Christianity may be applied to religion by having respect for the burdened. It is just as religious to help d man by your ballot as by your creed or your Bible.
 Religion may be applied to politics by putting conscience, patriotism and right eousnesS in the state

a bad time TO bring it up He did not

Supervisor Jenkins said he thought
the matter was more in the Jurisdiction
of the City Trustees. If the poolrooms
are a bad thing, it was the duty of
the Mayor and Trustees to suppress
them.
Supervisor Morrison thought if they
did not do their duty it was the duty
of the Board of Supervisors to pro-

The motion was put, and Curtis and

kins asked to be excused from voting.
He said it was a matter, he thought,
that concerned the city alone.

never asked to be excused from voting

from the country might not feel that it
concerned them now, but those voting

Bing C. Brier, claiming to have re-
ceived a number of votes for the office
of County Recorder, and demanding
that a certificate be issued to him. 1t

stated that he had sent similar de-
mand to the Board of Supervisors, but
Chairman Morrison said that he had as
yet received no such communication.
The bill of r. o. Cravens for services
at election time and watching the bal
lot boxes at night until the canvass
was made, was presented.
Supervisor Jenkins said he was will
ing to pay for the day work, but not
for the night, as the watchers are fur
nished beds and sleep in the room where
the ballots are kept.
Supervisor Curtis said that Election
Boards in the small precincts were al
lowed SO day, and had no respon-
sihilities. for watching.
Chairman Morrison said there was a
heavy responsibility attached to watch

why there should be any objection to
the bill. It was customary and neces-

Supervisor jenkins said that the
board might do as it pleased, but he
would not vote to pay the bill in full.
The claim was allowed, Jenkins vot-
ing no.
