Completed and a Report made to the
County Clerk.
S26i,o37 ABOVE LAST YEAR
City Clerk Herring has made UP His Re-
port and finds that the Total Assess
ment will be s. ,444993.OO

The City council in making up
its budget for the year will have
an assessment Of 81 Al, 993. 90
on which to make the levy Of
taxes necessary for carrying on
the government Of the city.
Last year the total assessment
was 81, 1888, O56.OO on which was
levied $50, 607,33, based on 3
per cent rate. This year based
on the same rate the council
should be able to raise over S40,-
10000 which will be ample to pay
the county tax as we'll as to pro
vide funds to defray all theS ex-
penses incident to running the
city. Last year all departments
of the city were crippled from
lack of funds, but this year it is
expected that matters will be in
much better condition.

THE railroad property of the
state must be assessed under
the ad valorem system. The ad
yalorem law Of 1903 is constl-
tutional. The railroads under
the decision of Judge Hastings
will have to pay the state about
81, 100000 in taxes which they
-havs withheld from the state
during the past two years.
The achievement of this VIC
tory for the people is due entire
ly to tie intelligent campaign of
Governor La Toilette, to change
the method of assessing railroad
property. Furthermore the law
was enforced. It is not enough
to have good laws, but they must
be enforced.

President Roosevelt Calls for
Thanksgiving

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Pres
ident has issued his proclamation
naming Thursday, November 80 as
the day for Thanksgiving. The
proclamation follows
By the President of the United
States of America.
A PROCLAMATION:
When, nearly three centuries ago
the first settlers came to the country
which has now become this great
republic, they fronted not only hard
ship and privations, but terrible
risk to their lives. In, those grim
years the custom grew of setting
apart one day in each year for a
special service of thanksgiving to
the Almighty for preserving the
people through the changing seasons.
The custom has now become nation
al and hallowed by immemorial usage
We live in easier and more plentiful
times than our forefathers, the men
who with rugged strength faced the
rugged days, and yet the dangers
to national life are quite as great
now as at any previous time il our
history.
It is eminently fitting that once a
year our people should set apart a
day for praise and thanksgiving to
the Giver Of Good and at the same
time that they express their thank
fulness for the abundant mercies
received, should manfully ackno "
ledge their shortcomings, and pledge
themselves solemnly, and in good
faith, to strive to overcome them.
During the last year we have been
blessed with, bountiful crops. Our
business prosperity has been great.
No other people has ever stood on
as high level of material well being

threatened by foes from without.
The foes from whom we should pray
to be delivered are our own passions,
-appetites and follies, and against
these there is always need that we
should war.
Therefore, I now set apart Thurs
day, the thirtieth day of this Novem-
Der, as day of thanksgiving for
the past and of prayer for the future
and on that day I ask that through
out the land the people gather in
their homes and places of worship,
and in rendering thanks unto the
Most High for the manifold blessings
OF the past year, consecrate them
selves to a life of cleanliness, honor
and wisdom so that this nation may
do it's allotted work on the earth in
manner worthy of those who found

Defines "Gentleman."

Recently, in wise discourse to the new students
atHarvard College, President Eliot impaired to them
some true and timely ideas about being gentlemen
in the democratic fashion proper to this untrammeled
land. Discussing the characteristics of gentleman
in democratic society, he submitted that he should
be gentle of speech, quiet of demeanor, serene
person who does not buster, hustle, hurry,
vociferate, but who pays attention with the intent
mind which is requisite to effectiveness. The dis
position to the superiorites in persons rather
than their inferiorites, and preference for the
ciety of his superiors. He should have generous
spirit conforming his life to his resources, avoiding
both lavishness and parsimony. He should be con-
siderate, too, especially towards those who in
his power, and should scrupulously avoid hurting
anyone weaker than himself. He must not be lazy.
The democratic gentleman must be power, a
worker disinterested laborer in the service of
others; not weakling or a mere pleasure seeker,
but strong and Woodworking man.
