Rev. Brundaee called
to Washington D. c.

Rev. Brundage, who was at one
time pastor of the Presbyterian
church at this place, but who has
been'for a humber of years, pastor
of the Montview Boulevard Pres

signed his passionate there TO ac-
cept a call to preach at thu Eek
ington Presbyterion church at
Washington, D.. c.. He went 10
MontvIew Boulevard church in
May, 1903, at which time the
membership consisted of 81.
He was successful in building
up a church membership of
229 in number and he has raised
and expended about $25 900 in

Last summer he made II trip 10

was a call to fill the Washington

friends here will be greatly pleas
ed at his deserved promotion.

THE PEOPLE ARE FITTED TO RULE

The result of the recent city election
in San Francisco proves again that
when they are given a chance the
people will not only take interest in
their own public affairs, but that they
will vote intelligently and with con-
servative discrimination.
San Francisco didn't adopt the com
mission plan, but 1T came as close to it
as it could be expected to come at the
start 1t abolished partisanship in its
city elections and provided for double
election without party confusions or
interference. Any man may become a.
candidate by fling petition signed by
10 TO 20 citizens, attesting his fitness
for the Office he seeks. The names of
candidates go on the ballot without
party designation, and any candidate
getting clear majority of all the votes
cast for that particular Office is elected
IT no candidate gets a ma ajority the two
men getting the most votes go on the
ballot at the general election, again
without party designation Election
will be for fitness, not for partisanship
which lends itself to the service sf
professional bosses such as those that
have ridden San Francisco until its
name became a stencil.
San Francisco did another wise thing
in lengthening the terms of its CITY
officers to four years. Thus it elimin-
ates two bad things in city affairs
