PretentiOus Future for Arcadia
Valley.
(From the st. Louis Times

(fFOIn tue ST. LOUIS IlneS.)
Z One of the most pretentious
propositions for the future of Ar
cadia country as summer resort
is that of Arcadia Heights. The
era is at hand when on these
mountains two large chautauqua
assemblies, sponsored by two of
the largest religious denominations
of the State of Missouri, will hold
their sessions.
Around these chautauqua grounds
bungalow colonies have been
started and the whole mountain
country is being threaded with
pretty drives, winding their spiral
courses around the slopes from
summit to the placid valley be-
meath.
Three years ago J. H. York saw
the possibilities of these rugged,
rocky ranges. They were not
adapted to general farming pur-
poses. A company was formed
and $500 acres acquired. The
Heights were laid out, bounded on
the north by Cedar, Oak and Pilot
Knob mountains. At the upper
end of the gorge, which runs
traverse to the Arcadia Valley,
Knob Lake was built by damming
with concrete barrier the stream.
The result is pretty sheet OF
water covering 40 acres, with a
waterfall of % feet, and sufficient
capacity to furnish water for a city
of $4,000 inhabitants. This cost
thousands of dollars, but it solved
the lake proposition for bathing,
boating and general aquatic sports
Of the bungalow dwellers.
To complete the plans a series
of cascades and lagoons will be
constructed between Knob Lake
and the old village Of Pilot Knob
distance Of half a mile. AS the
fall is over 200 feet, the possibili.
ties of landscape beauty may be
imagined.
One of the m ost difficult features
was to lay out the series Of noun
tain drives. This has been done
in the rough, and when they arr
finished they will vie in smooth
ness and attractiveness with those
Of Hot Springs. What has beel
done to Arcadia Heights in roat
building will be done to othe
peaks in later years, when thi
whole section is filled with sum
mer dwellers.
Mr.. York presented the Baptist
OF Missouri with tract of 80 acre
on the Heights and the Presbyte
rians with a like tract on a neigh
boring hill. This was intended a
nucleus Of the bungalow col
onies. On the broad terraced hill
overlooking the valley the Bapt
lists have erected tabernacl
which will seat 1000 persons. Fror
Sunset Rock, just under it, one ha
a view Of Ircnton and Arcadi
nesting below, and of the noun
tain range that stretches as far a
the eye can reach, 40 miles away.
The Baptist settlement is we
under way, and the prettiest .
bungalows dot the slopes aroun
the tabernacle, with little frui
farms, which will in time be pro
ductive. The Presbyterians con
template similar improvements
and their lands will present
scene Of activity this summer.

ital; hats are property; shoe
factories are capital; shoes are
property. Let the public own the
factories, that we may all have
hats and shoes.
Time was when competition re-
duced the power of the exploiter
of labor to minimum, but now
competition is dead and we have
private monopoly which Mr.. Bryan
has rightly said is indefensible.
He also said, that if it ever came
to a choice between private and
public monopoly, his course would
be clear. While perfect private
monopoly has not arrived, it is
SO near, and it's approach is so
rapid, that another decade bids
fair to witness it's consumation.
What are Mr.. Bryan and his fol-
lowers waiting for? We have a
Steel Trust, Coal Trust,a Copper
Trust, Sugar Trust, Salt Trust,
an Agricultural Machinery Trust
Tobacco Trust, a Bankers Trust,
a Railroad Trust, Transportation
Trust, an Oil Trust, Match Trust,
a Paper Trust, a Meat Trust, a
Flour Trust, Telegraph Trust, a
Telephone Trust, and now they
are trying to monopolize the water
powers of the country. What is
Mr.. Bryan waiting for-an Air
Trust?

A LIVING
DEATH IN
FAMILY
COUPLE CAST ASIDE
CHILDREN so THEY
MAY ACQUIRE PROP
ERTY.
Have you ever heard Of a livina

Have you ever heard Of a living
death?
There is a living death In one
family in this town.
And the worst part of II is that
the father and the mother are so
calIoused that they don't realize II.
Perhaps in the long after years
they will know it, and bitterly re-
gret it, and long to make up for
the loss. But they will never be
able to recall vanished love.
A few days ago man and his
wife called at the Orphans Home
of Spokane. In cold, dry tones
they told their story. They sail
they had five children. The hus-
band and the wife were both work
ing and earning fair wages. but
they wanted to buy property. and
they figured that they~could do this
by sacrificing two of their children.
And so they asked the Orphans
Home to lake EN-.
Mrs. Dey. manager of the home,
protested. She asked them If they
did not know that only orphans, or
half-orphans. were received. They
said they did know but they
thought Mrs. Dey could secure
separate homes for the children
somewhere. and IL she didn't re-
ceive them, they would take them
somewhere else.
So the children were received
like orphans. One is nine years
old and the other Is six. Deserted
by their mother and father be-
cause they interfered with the ac-
Quirement of property. they are
set adrift in the world to shift for
themselves as best they may. Their
parents don't care. With q
sublime faith in the kindliness of
the world, they put the burden on
strangers shoulders and merrily go
about their work of ACQUIRING
PROPERTY.
This man and wife even stated
that perhaps they would have to
let third child be taken care of
by strangers. because they wanted
to be sure to meet all their pay
ments on their lots. They rather
thought they might be able to keep
two.
Meanwhile the two little chill
dren cast off by their parents are
at the home. waiting to be adopted
by some warm-hearted couple who
will supply the love and care de-
MED them by their own parents.
Mrs. Dey says they are fine chill
dren, but the task presented to her
is the most unpleasant one she has
ever encountered. She hates to
try to provide alien homes for the
youngsters when what should be
their own natural home Is being
maintained here.
Meanwhile the living death-the
death of the love of parents for
their offspring-stalks through this
miserable home, and the hearts OF
that couple turn to stone, and their
minds hug the thought that NOW
they will be able to ACQUIRE
PROPERTY.
The two little orphans, made so
through the death of love In the
hearts of their parents, will grow
up in homes where no blood ties
connect them. What will be their
thoughts on mother love? When
they grow up, how can they teach
THEIR children to love. with their
own example before them?
1t is one of the saddest cases ON
record.

(By Staff Correspondent Of the
United Press)

VIENNA, April 15.-After tri-
umphaI ride from the station OF the
Hotel krantz today Former Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Kermit found
that no rooms had been reserved for
men. They were hustled into a lit
tie apartment while the manage
ment of the hotel hastened to pre-
pare luxurious suite.
The lack of accommodations
came from an error on the part of
those arranging the Roosevelt re-
ception. American Ambassador
Richard Kerens thought that Baron
Henglemuller, former ambassador
to Washington, had engaged rooms
for the Roosevelts. The baron
thought the ambassador had en-
gagged rooms for. the Roosevelts.
The baron thought the ambassador
had engaged the rooms, and so,
through this Alphonse-Gaston pre-
dicament, Roosevelt and Kermit
found no rooms at all The colonel
enjoyed the incident. Roosevelt to-
day made a statement branding as
false a statement in the Paris Her
aid from an Italian correspondent
that he had consented to become a
candidate for the presidency again
Roosevelt authorized the United
Press to say that the story was a
pure fake"
While discussing the affair, he
declared that his meeting with
Pinchot ought not to be construed
as his desire to hear only one side
of the conservation controversy.
Il want to hear all Sides" he
said, 'of all questions, and l will be
glad to see anyone who can en-
tighten me on political questions.
am sorry Senator Root could not
come to Europe"
Roosevelt during this talk made
it plain he would stand for his
principles upon his return to Amer
ica, regardless of parties or persons.
During the day he rubbed elbows
with royalty. Most of those en-
gagged in his official reception were
counts, dukes or barons.
He arrived at O'Clock this morn
ing and was met by the biggest re-
ception committee that has yet
greeted him. 1t was headed by Am
bassador Kerens and Baron Hengle-
muller.
Throngs lined the way from the
station TO the hotel. Around the
hotel several thousand persons
were gathered. He was roundly
cheered on his way to the hotel
and as he stepped from the car
riage.

great grandfather was Jos. Haber-

These claims were confirmed from
