(From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. May 11. (Special. ) The State. Board of Assessment and Equalization re malned behlr.d cloned doors all afternoon without electing ,a secretary. In fact, no ote was taken on any of the candidates, but there van a discuialon In regard to the qualities desired In a eerrctary. The board adjourned to meet- again tomorrow at 10 o'clock. - As Btnte Auditor 8earle will be absent today the board may defer the elec tion of a accretary. The board comprises Oovernor Sheldon, Land Commissioner Eaton, Secretary Jjnklrj and Treasurer Brian. ' Friends of the various candidates called during the day upon members of the board to present the merits of the candidates. There were callers from Nebraska City, Tecumseh, Lincoln and elsewhere, clamoring esrneetly fur a hearing.

Gjverr.or Sheldon returned this afternoon from Washington well pleased with the ineet'nti of tovernors which he attended st Washington. "The meeting," said Oovernor Sheldon, "will undoubtedly do good. If It results Irv the continuation of the waterways commis sion, which It Is likely to do, the meeting will have accomplished a great deal. The time was so short that the meeting was unable to take up remedies for the con servation of the natural resources of the country. It barely had time to challenge the attention of the people and emphasize the Importance of the topics mentioned. Of course no convention of this kind or no congress for that matter can settle such questions. It remains for the people of the country to do that, but such a meeting can start the people to thinking and acting. Such a meeting Is also of great benefit by bringing the governors of the various states Into closer and more friendly rela tions and will undoubtedly result In more harmonious action. There has hardly been a discordant notejn the three days' session. There were forty-four governors In attend ance. "It remains for the people to work out the problems and propositions presented at the con ontlcn and this Is being done In many Ins: j:ices. For Instance, the agricultural college In Nebraska for several years, with the a!d of farmers' Institutes, has Impressed utcn the people th9 Importance of con serving the fertility of the soli and plans for doing this have been presented to the pcop!c-ln a practical manner, much better, no dsubt, than -conld have been done at any meeting of governors.

CILMORE DELIVERS ADDRESS New President of Young- Men's Chris tian Association Tells of flans. MEMBERSHIP TO BE INCREASED Work of the AseoeUtlon In the World Is Reviewed and, n Plen for MThe Other Fellow" -Is Made. Ths program of the afternoon meeting at the Toung Men's Christian association yesterdsy comprised a sacred concert given by the association choir, with Miss Mabel rulton. J. F. McAbes and Charles Lang as soloists, snd a quartet selection by Miss Fulton. Miss' Westerf leld, Mr. Newell and Mr. Lang. The Inaugural address was delivered by George F. Gllmore. the new president of the association. Mr. Gllmore thanked the audi ence for the pleasant and cordial greeting and said: "I realise the responsibility I have under taken In succeeding Mr. Carpenter as president of this association. I regret that Mr. Carpenter felt that he cduld not accept a re-election to this position he haa graced and filled acceptably for so long. Yet our prayers will go out for his speedy restora tion to good health and for his safe return from abroad. It was with reluctance that I accepted this honor, realising as I do its great responsibilities. At the same time I teallae that not all the work of the association will by any means rest upon ths president, and I am thankful that we have an efficient secretary and staff upon whom' much of the detail work . will naturally have to fall. Leva for Work Is First. The reasons for my acceptance of the honor -are many. Chief of which Is a love for the work that this association repre sents. Its possibilities for good are limit less and big as It Is we have but Just touched the edges. The great object of the Toung Men's Christian association Is the desire to help the other fellow. Ws are In truth our brothers' keepers, even to a greater extent than in te days of Cain and AbeL There is a great and serious responsibility In this work of helping the other fellow. Yet this spirit seems to be more prevalent than ever before. It io shown In the rapid progress of the Young Men's Christian association movement, in the erection of splendid buildings wherein this work can be most effectively accomp lished. We should not stop In eur efforts to help one another. Let us hunt out the stranger within our gates snd help him while he Is with us. Our greatest and best work Is In coming In personal touch with the other fellow. There are many avenues In which we can exercise our activity, and every one roust take and do his part. Man must be saved by personal effort. A Worldwide Brotherhood. This association is a world-wide brother hood. It has extended into twelve foreign lands. and among people of every class snd In every condition. They are erecting buildings like this one we are in even In foreign lands. Another essential of our work Is to educate young men to become workers In the cause of the Young Men's Christian asaoclatkm.'. Ws are touching every class, the soldier, the ssilor, the cow boy, the Indian, the negro and men in every line of Industrial and mechanical as well as business activity. We are now seeking to reach out Into the country to get In touch with the farmer boys, and persuade them to seek better fields of rec reation than Idling about the country stores. And thts work Is moving forward at encouraging strides... We are reaching out to the newsboy of the streets, to the clerk and employes of the great city In stitutions. There Is an Inspiration in the work that thus enables us to help the other fellow. Foreign potentates, the em perors of Japan and of Germany, realise the great good that comes of Young Men's Christian association and are giving it every encouragement and backing it with their Influence and support. No man can give his time to a greater and more last ing work than this. It is a privilege no man should deny himself of to reach out his hand in this helpful fellowship. No Change In Policy. "Thus realizing the responsibility that has been entrusted to me, I feel myself helpless without your help. I earnestly ask all of you here to aid in this work. Omaha association stands, well in the com munity. It has the backing of the busi ness and commercial interests of the city. Up to the) present time our work has been largely preparatory in raising money for and In completing this splendid building. It is now time that we shall move for ward to greater efforts In the spiritual work of the association. There will be no change In the policy of the association be cause of the change In Its head. I think that we can Increase our membership In the future from Its present figure of 2,600 to $,000. It msy surprise you to know that we have In our sssoclstlon 1,000 members who are not members of any church. We should seek to bring these young men into the churches. Ths future before us la bright and encouraging. The field is large and let us carry on this work here with Increased effort, and to this end I sgaln ask your assistance and co-operation." John W. Hansel, for seventeen years president of the Chicago Training school, followed President Gllmore In a brief ad dress upon the subject of "Building a Man." He held that it was not sufficient to build merely the physical, Intellectual and social man, though ail these were well In their wsy, but that the spiritual man was of even greater importance..

Newman Hall Burdlck, D. D., pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, brings into prominence the fact that many changes have been made in the pastorates tml Omaha Preebyterlan churches within the last couple of years. So far as is known there is no general theory that ex plains this heglra, but rather local condi tions appear to control each case. Dr. Burdlck, as readers of The Bee have known for a week or more. Is to become pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Helena, Mont., the largest and most In fluential church of that denomination In the state of Montana and one of the strong est In the entire northwest. His church here will hold a congregational meeting May 27 to act on his resignation and his departure will follow reasonably soon after that. Dr. Burdlck has been In Omaha some five years and has done good work and made himself prominent In clvlo af fairs. Within the last couple of years or less these changes have been made in Omaha Presbyterian churches: Rev. T. V. Moore left Westminster to go to the San Anselmo seminary and was succeeded by Rev. W. 8. Fulton; Rev. A. B. C. Clarke went to Evanston, III., and was succeeded by Rev. Nathaniel McGlffln; Rev. Walter H. Rey nolds accepted a call to Greensburg, Ind., and his pulpit Is not yet filled; Rev. T. K. Hunter left Dundee and his successor is Rev. Henry Qulckenden; Dr. Burdlck now goes and Rev. R. L.
