Charm of Arcadia Valley Be-

lTrom the st. Louis Times.l

The Iron Mountain Railway was
built south from st. Louis to carry
the ore from the Iron Mountain, 20
miles away, and then was extend
ed to Pilot Knob. The mining day
is past for the present, because the
low -grade ore costs too much to
produce in competition with
cheaper fields. But there may
come a time when the. cost Of pro-
duction has advanced when 1t will
be found profitable to work these
abandoned mountains.
Pilot Knob Is now but sleepy
old village. It has been passed by

Democracy Finding Itself.

In it's candid denial of a vital
clause of the Declaration of In
dependence, coupled with it's en-
phatic assertion of the truth of a
principle of that document with
which the repudiated clause is
connected, The Outlook has
thrown a brilliant light upon an
issue which is fast taking practical
form in this country. That issue
is nothing less vital than this:
Shall American democracy be
democratic or monarchical?
The question sounds absurd,
and so it is if construed literally;
for the democratic principle and
the monarchical are opposites.
But disregarding logical nicely in
language and dealing directly
with the facts" which has come
to be quite the mode, the question
is reasonable enough. We must
give it that paradoxical form un-
less we would deny the preten-
tions of The Outlook and Mr.. Roos-
evelt and such as they, to democ-
racy. Shall American democracy
be democratic or monarchicalf
That is, shall human rights be de-
veloped and established and Sc
cured by the people themselves, OF
shall they be conferred and con-
served by superior persons?
Shall the people govern them.

lands of the upper valley. Here is
where the vacation crowds have
gathered for years, and there is
large hotel for their accommoda-
ton.
1t is around this park that is
being projected a number of
cabin homes that in time are ex.
pected to develop into another
bungalow colony. In the vicinity
of Arcadia are tn country houses
and estates o. a number of
wealthy st. Louis families.
One could Inos imagine a more
ideal spot for college than Ar
cadia. But a few hundred yards
from the hotel is Arcadia College,
founded in 1877 by the Ursulines.
It's site is one of the most beauti-
full spots in the valley. The main
structure is of brick, with a
chapel, dormitories and numerous
auxiliary buildings. 1t has its own
lake, orchards and vegetable
gardens. In spring the grounds
are covered with profusion of
flowers. Some If the graduates
of Arcadia College have achieved
high walks in life, and the in
stitution stands dear with the
Catholics of the st. Louis Dio-
cese.
This country is an ideal spot to
come and spend week, month
or three months. The same peace
that prevaded the valley two de-
cades ago is present now. 1t is
not overrun, as the more preten-
tious resorts, and those who come
enjoy to the Fill the beneficences Of
unfltered sunlight, bracing air
that is untainted, and panoramic
mountain scenery, without having
to divide it witha horde.
The Methodists of the st. Louis
District are interested in the de-
velopment of Epworth on the
Hills, a Chautauqua Assembly
proposition in Arcadia like those
on Arcadia Heights. They have
expended $4,000 for property east
of Arcadia,'in hilly retreat which
offers exceptional advantages for
the purpose. Fine buildings are
to be erected and the whole project
is to be developed along big
lines.
Reached by drive over noun
tain roads from the valley is the
st. Francis River, one of the best
fishing streams in the state. This
is great hunting country, too.
The distance is about the same to
the ford on the Fredericktown road
or the Silver Mine Dam. Both Of
fer good camp sites and are fine
places for outing parties.
AT Iron Mountain Station on the
Iron Mountain Railway, a few
miles north of the valley, is large
lake, where boating and fishing
are features.

up the rear. Throughout the devotion
members OF the societies recited their
rosaries.
The line of march was around the
block bounded by Bush. Pierce, Pine
and Steiner streets. which incloses the

At the conclusion Of the program
the ropes and sand weights were cast
off. 'au revoirs" were said and upon
the word from Captain Van Tassell
the big balloon rose gracefully into
the air while the people in the throng
below shouted themselves hoarse.
At first the craft veered in a south
easterly direction, but as it rose to
about 1000 feet a new current of air
sent it speeding across the bay in
line with Pescadero. Sinking again,
the low breeze caught hold again and

moving swiftly in the approximate di-
rection of Newark

balloons ever constructed on the Pa

FOR CHINESE TEASING
Memorial from Emperor Sought
On This Account

WASHINGTON, oct. Memorable
inc the throne at Peking in favor of
abolishing the queue, WI Ting Fang,
former minister to Washington, has ex-
nlsined how he happened to take that
attitude. In his memorial, the text of
which has Just reached Washington,
wu saws Chinese residents in North,
Central and South America have been
teased by foreigners until they inn
nlored him to seek an imperial edict
giving Official sanction to cropping the
hair and changing their costume TO
accord with western ideas. WI says
he found Chinese everywhere sincerely
loval and patriotic, but eight or nine
tenths of them had divested them
selves. of their queues or had secreted
them by coiling them on the tops of
their heads.
