THE DEMOCRACY OF INTELLECT.

Gladstone said that at the Eton of
his day mo boy was ever estimated
more or less because he had much
money to spend. It added nothing to
him IL he had much; it took nothing
from him II he had little" That is
largely true of our American schools
today. The boy with money to spend
may be "hailed a good fellow we'll
met" in society, but he stands much
on his own merits In the class room,
where real merit is respected. Schol-
arship wins the esteem OF instructors
and the respect of classmates, even
though the outward appearance is not
SO good. We all seem to feel with
Emerson that "as man grows great
er within, he lives more simply with
out"
We do not elect our teachers, pas
tors, farm advisers, civil officers, or
filI other positions of ability, by the
amount of money they may have. On
the contrary We are inclined to dis
criminate against wealth in such a
choice.
Intellect is at home in any good
company. Everyone feels that he may
aspire to walk with kings and talk
with crowds"
The intellect may interfere with the
heart In novels, but not as a rule in
every day life. College girls usually
appreciate friend for his true worth.
regardless of his money. unless they
have come to college merely for "a
high time"

From last Fridays Pennington
News: "The best news of the coun-
ty this week comes from the lead
belt in the announcement of renewed
activity in the lead industry, due evil
IDENTITY to the recent rise in the price
of lead and a better market generally.
The st. Joseph Lead Company mill at
Bonnie Terre, which was closed last
October, will be put in operation
again the 18th inst, Tuesday of next
week. The announcement was given
to the press of the county yesterday
morning by an official of the Com
pany. The mill is to be operated full
time, three shifts a day and six days
a week. 1t was also stated that all of
the st. Joseph-Doe Run plants would
go back ON the full time basis. When
the Bonnie Terre mill was closed last
fall two sections of the Doe Run mill
near Rivermines was secured to mill
Bonnie Terre ore. Not all of the Bonnie
ore, however, was handled there, a
part of it being sent to the Leadwood
mill. While a great many of the men
were thrown out of employment by
the closing of the mill at Bonnie Terre,
as many of them as could be used
were given work at the Doe Run
mill, especially the men of families
They have continued to reside al
Bonnie Terre, making the trip tc
Rivermines on the train and in rigs.
We understand they will be given
their old places back at Bonnie Terre
as will also the old employees, who
have been out of work entirely, be
given the preference of their ole
positions. During the time the ole
mill has been closed it has been ex'
tensively repaired and is now said tt
be in fine working order. While the
announcement more directly concerns
the Bonnie Terre people, who have
only the one company to depend on
it nevertheless has its effect on the
south end of the district, as the place
vacated by the men transferred bacl
to Bonnie Terre from the Doe Rul
mill will likely have to be filled. l
is likely too that the Doe Run powe
plant at Rivermines, which was clos
ed at the same time as the Bonn
Terre mill, will be started again. In
quiry by The News at the Fedora
Lead Co. Office at Flat River yester
day confirmed the report that opera
ton on full time was to be resume'
at their plants. An officer told us tina
beginning to- morrow the men woul
be put back to work six days a wee
and this order would be in effect at a.
the plants now in operation, includ
ing No. 8 mill which has been on

the works for several months. w
