To the Editor: Having had the
honor of representing the city as al
derman in the old form of city gov
eminent for two years, | would like
to voice my reasons at this time why
| was amongst the very first to pro-
mote the change to the present form.
| and others on the council at that
time were not satisfied that the city
was getting all she had coming to
her; we're not satisfied that money
was properly expended; were not sat
isfied that the city was getting proper
efficiency out Of her employees, either
on the streets or in the municipal
plant, and other things that time or
space will not allow. Why was this
so? Very, very easily explained, and
i'm few words. Too many bosses.
Show us a business as large as the
city of Madison, with nine heads to
it and it will be one without rating
in 'Dun's" or "Bradstreet's." And
show us a business as large as this
city with a s25 man at the head of it
and you will show us a business rid
ing a toboggan at an angle of As de-
grees, and headed towards that re-
gion ruled over by his Satanic ma
jesty. Now, after several years of
change, let us see If we were right.

us? About the first thing was the

MADISON ENTERTAINED
SIOUX FALLS SYMPHONY or
CHESTRA AT NORMAL
AUDITORIUM.

The Sioux Falls Symphony orches-
ira gave a concert at Normal audito-
rum at $3.50 o'clock yesterday after
o To people of many towns of
South Dakota, this statement is a
sufficient guarantee that the music
lovers of Madison were favored with
a concert rare in the execution of ar
tistic music. From the opening num-
Der under the direction of Prof.
Frederick Wick, to the close of the
two hours program, the fine audi
ence present was simply spellbound.
Perfect harmony was the invariable
rule of the thirty-five instruments
composing the orchestra-not a dis
cord creeping in.
Delightful features of the concert
were violin and cello solos by Misses
Marie Toohey and Mabel Duncan.
The former is a sister of Miss June
Toohey, head of the music depart
ment of the Madison State Normal
school. Miss Marie Toohey has re-
Gently been elected instructor Of yio-
lin of Yankton college. Miss Dun
can is an accomplished artist with her
instrument, and both ladies were
heartily applauded and graciously re-
sponded to the demands of the audi
ence for two additional numbers.
Throughout, the concert was the
grandest of the kind ever given in
Madison. And the audience present
will vie with people of other towns
of the state where the orchestra has
appeared in expressing their appre-
citation and feeling of pride that the
orchestra is not only a Sioux Falls
organization, but a South Dakota or
ganization as we'll.
The members of the orchestra
made the trip from Sioux Falls to
Madison by automobiles, returning by
the same conveyances after the con
cert. Prof Wick, conductor, who re-
manned in the city yer night, was
called upon by officials of the Lake
Madison Chautauqua association and
tentative negotiations were entered
into for the appearance of the or
chestra at the chautauqua assembly
this summer. A better chautauqua
feature could not be obtained any
where, and should the negotiations
terminate favorably, the orchestra
will receive the heartiest kind of a
welcome upon their appearance at
the lake.

be paid for at 1900 per. II was
round unsatisfactory and ordered out
by the commission, the
obeying orders, thus saving $500 at
one clip. The city had peer clamor-
ing for water main extension. but
never got it because the city was
usually nearly broke" In the last
three years how many blocks of
mains have been installed? Better
look it up before you give the present
form a black eye with your vote. The
old artesian we'll bonds were taken
up, S22, 900 worth of new machinery
installed, and did it raise your taxes
a cent, or did the new well at the
plant cost you anything extra in taxes
or otherwise? Have you any idea Of
the number of leaks that were found
in the way of l~avatories, closets, bath
rooms, etc? Better look that I'D too
before you vote. The present mayor
at SIS per month, replaced a man
drawing 1925 with a SIS man. and
by assisting him himself saved the
city his salary in this one instance
alone and gives us real service. Mr..
JobltoOHY DIT tnt Atdu Vi the SlTGbl ue~
partment. easily saves his salary i'm
the efficiency of his employees over
the old. What has Mr.. Kundert done
at the head of the finance depart
ment? Given the city nearly $2,500
in interest or daily balances. Any
recall getting very much interest
on city money before this? is this
efficiency, and are these things worth
throwing away for eight or nine $25
per year men? Are our taxes any
higher than before because Of what
the present form has accomplished,
and are there any floating warrants
at 7 per cent. as in other cities we
could mention? If you will come to
us we will show you a city or cities
in South Dakota where the floating
warrants exceed u total bonded in
debtedness, and are not doing any
more improving than We are.
Our little city is forging ahead as

votes to Madison citizens, who will be

There will be a regular monthly
meeting tonight of the Madison Mer-
chants association. One of the mat
tiers of interest to be discussed will
be the proposed market day, which
will be held on the last Wednesday
of each month. 1t is the intention to
have goods auctioned free of charge,
and perhaps have the city band play
each market day afternoon. The first
market day will be on April &c.

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: Miss
Mary Manderfield, who for more
than twelve years past has been one
of the popular clerks at the Fantle
brothers department store, having
had charge of the corset department,
has severed her connection with that
firm and will shortly open up the
Manderfield Corset shop on South

long experience in the corset field
peculiarly fits her for the work she
has laid out" Miss Manderfield is a
sister of Miss Gertie Manderfield, of

never before. Let's place the credit
where credit is due and retain our
present efficient form of government
If you have anything you think can
be bettered why not use the referen-
dun and recall? Watertown changed
back TO the old form and why? Be
cause hat town was controlled by a
political ring, a peculiar condition ex-
listed, and il seems the only way to
bust the ring was to 60 back to the
old form. The best editorials of the
state commented on the sad necessity
of Watertown going backwards.
We trust we have placed before
you some thoughts not occurring to
you before. In mentioning names of
the various departments we are not
boosting any individual, but trying to
show how the best successful bust
ness men can apply success to any
city department if given the time and
incentive for so doing. Very respect
