MACCABEE ENTERTAINMENT
Large Number of Invited Guests
Well Pleased

On Wednesday evening Of last week
the knights and Lady MacCabcc lod-
yes gave an interesting entertain
meut at the G.. A. Il. hall which was
attended by large number Of invited
guests.
The program was opened with music
by Sullivan's orchestra which during
the evening furnished as pleasing num-
bers as any ever heard in the city.
Miss Nellie Kendall pleased those
present with recitation. Miss Ken
dali has good voice and commend
able ClOrutiunary ability.
Miss Edna Bradley then favored the
assembly with a violin solo accom-
panied by Miss Winnie Paul on the
piano. Miss Bradley is making rapid
advancement as a musician and her
many friends would be pleased TO
hear her often.
Little Gladys Howard, the young
est rcciter in the city, then appeared
and in clear distinct tone pleased
her many admirers with a recitation
suited TO her years,
The X. O. r. NJ. and l.. O. II. M
then gave two tableaux, in which the
brilliant lodge costumes under
colored lights gave pleasing effect
This was followed by recitation by
Lillian Breed. "Pat's Confederate
Pig" seemed to catch the audience
aud Miss Breed was compelled tC
respond TO an encore.
Following this were two more tab
leaux, even better than the first

not advertise, and it is safe TO assume
that the persons who thus bring them
selves to the attention OF the public
are not in any manner identified with
our denomination nor with its heal
ing work. TIE following reference TO
the methods employed by aunthorized
persons who pose as Christian Sci
entists, is copied from previous issue
Of the Sentinal:-
''It is unnecessary for us to say that
methods Of advertising akin to those
Of quack doctors and vendors Of pat
ent noStrumS are not cuuntenanced
by Christ!aa Scientists. On the con-
trary they are reprehended.
"Chrstian Scientists have done all
they properly can do in the way or
advertising when they unobtrusively
make known the fact that they hold
| them selves in readiness TO respond TO
calls for healing sickness or otherwise
aiding those who desire such services
as come within their province or line
Of duty"
The above is as true to day as when
it was written, and correctly sets forth
| the attitude Of Christian Scientists
as being one OF willingness and readi-
ness to help those who desire their
ministrations, rather than that Of
soliciting the attention and patronage
/ OF persons who may be attracted by
a skillfully worded advertisement.
Christian Science healing is not a
thing Of barter and sale: it is a holy
ministry into which greed, seltishness
and self-seeking cannot enter. The
commercialism that bids for patron
age and dollars is inconsistent with
the true sense OF ChriSt-healing and
must ultimately prove to be a delu-
sion to both practitioner and patient.
Christian Scientists know that those
who would avail themselves of the
healing power of this Science must
turn TO it naturally and without undue
influence.
1t may be urged that unless Chris
tian Scientists advertise, the public
Will not know how nor where to find a
practitioner, but this will not suffice
as an excuse for adopting methods
not in keeping with the proper reserve
and dignity which BELTS the high cal
ling of our ministry. Those who are
ready for Christian Science will ex-
perience no difficulty in finding help
and healing. There are but few COM
munities In which some beneficiary of
Christian Science cannot be found:
the churches of the denomination are
many, the free reading rooms main
tanned by the churches are easily ac-
cessible, and comprehensive direc-
tory OF practitioners is published in the
Official organs of the denomination.

COMPARATIVE TAX LEVIES
Brookings County and City Lower
Than Others

The Sioux Falls Journal says: "It
is second nature for Sioux Fa lis tax
payer to groan when he steps up to
The rack and contributes something for
the support Of the schools, maiuten-
ance of peace and preservation OF pro-
perty from fire. He declares no place
on earth is so heavily burdened,
although he may be paying on az
assessed valuation Of ouly l. IL per
cent.
The levy is what tells the tale, and
when il is compared with some or the
other towns in the county, IL Will be
found a Sioux Falls taxpayer is fortu-
nate. The consolidated levy OF Sioux
Falls is iG , mills. that of Dell Rapids
40 mills and Garretson 81 mills.
For municipal purposes Sioux Falls
levied - mills. Dell Rapids II mills
and GarretsOn Il mills. Higher cduca-
tion costs less here than in other
towns mentioned. The levy for
schools in Sioux Falls is - mills,
Dell Rapids Is 9 mills and GarretsOn
has touched the taxpayers up for %
mills.
The assessed valuation Of the other
towns is probably as great in proper
tion as in this city. There was "A de-
mand for revenue there the same as
here, and the only way TO get 1T was
to see that property was assessed on
percentage Of valuation equally as
great as other portions OF the county
! The only difference between Sioux
| Falls and the other towns is, they do
| less kicking and pay more cheerfuily,
! knowing the money raised is for a
good cause"
/ There has been an incliDat!on on
! the part of some Of the taxpayers OF
/ BrUOkings county and BroOkings city
/ to mourn because Of excessive taxes.
An examination of the report OF the
state auditor for 1903 shows that the
consolidated levy Chat is state and
county levy in Brookings county is
lower than that Of any county Of like
class in the state. In Yankton COun-
ty the levy is l. mills: in Grant los
mills. The consolidated levy in this
county is 10 mills, in the city it is the
same. In BroOkings city the school
levy is 1915 mills; municipal levy is l5.s
mills. Total levy, 3S.3 mills. Com
pare these figures with Sioux Falls,
,; Dell Rapids, 49.4; Garretson, 81
mills. The REGISTER is infoI med by
those who say they know, that the
taxes at other places about the size OF
Brookings are higher than they are
here. Taking everything into con
sideration we believe the taxpayers
here are as fortunate as the journal
says the citizens OF Sioux Falls are
We have something to show for oul
expenditure OF money and with
proper management the public enter
prises established and controlled by
the city will in a very few years tend
to cut down rather than increase the
taxes.

being employed by those in power.
The REGISTER has no idea that Mr..
GoodfellOw or anyone else in fact
charges the city council OF any Official
with boodling or conDiving TO cheat
the city out of farthing. Owing to
an increase 10 taxation people are
SQuirming little and naturally they
would like to know where their money
is going and whether il is being prop
erly expended or not. This Is no more
than right. The present mayor made
certain pledges when he was elected
and as soon as lie had entered in upon
his duties, aided 10y the council, he
began tu lay plans to carry forward
the work he had designed doing. A
A city CLERK was employed and Mr..
: oddart at once set about to look up
the different funds and general finan-
cial condition OF the city. For sew
eral months he has been engaged in
the work OF sorting out and untang-
ling the various receipts and expcn-
dtures, and compiling a statement,
which is uow almost ready. This has
been labOriouS task as there had
never been complete account kept
Of the city business. There was prac-
tically no beginning or end and it has
| been one continual unravel from first
, to last. We believe that the taXpay-
ers will be satisfied when they are
/ permitted to read the report, as from
what can be learned matters are in
! fairly good shape. So far as taxes
are concerned, as compared with other
cities OF like size, the people Of Brook
, ings have no kick coming. When it.
is considered that we own our elect
ric lighting, waterworks and telephone
systems, and that all of these have
been installed in very short time,
surely we cannot complain if in other
places, which do not own or control
any Of these public utilities, taxes are
just as high or higher.
The ouly thing the REGISTER has
to complain of and this does not effect
our taxes for past years, is The present
management Of the electric lighting,
waterworks and steam heating sys.
TENS. The engineer in charge has
proven himself incompetent to pro-
pcrly manage the appliances entrusted
to his care. and should have been
removed some time ago. At present
the power plant is being run, during
the heavy work by young man who
has only had few weeks practical
work around the machinery, and who
| had no previous experience. He may
apparantly be doing his work well
bat the machinery must suffer at bis
hands. He perhaps does as well as
the engineer cGn but that is no reason
, why a change should not be made ia
the management.

The Job Hunts Him

One of our business men who has
been keeping tab on the conduct and
chances Of the boys in villages says:
every boy and young man in town is
spotted. and when vacancies occur in
positions OF responsibility, they do
not go to those who hang around pub.
lie places, nor to those who put in
their time smoking cigarettes and
springing the styles OF dudes and
mashers, but to the lad who has a
clean record for sobriety, industry
and honesty: to one who will do all in
his power for his employer. A
straight, clean, manly bov never has
to hunt long for job. He is always
wanted"

Excessive taxation without a proper
understanding of where and how the
money Is used, will cause much OF the
property Of city or community TO be
offered for sale and there will be few
buyers. While, on the other hand, if
there be clear understanding OF the
proper application of the funds, even
though taxes are high, it will result in
bringing many residents and investors
into the city and few will wish to sell.
