Book Description
This is not a book of dates. It does not abound in statistics. It avoids controversies of the past and prophecies of the future. The motive is to present in plain, newspaper style a narrative of the rise and progress of St. Louis to the fourth place among American cities. To personal factors rather than to general causes is credited the high position which the community has attained. Men and women, more than location and events, have made St. Louis the Fourth City. The site chosen was fortunate. Of much greater import was the character of those who came to settle. American history, as told from the Atlantic seaboard points of view, classed St. Louis as "a little trading post." The settlement of Laclede was planned for permanence. It established stable government by consent of the governed. It embodied the homestead principle in a land system. It developed the American spirit while "good old colony times" prevailed along the Atlantic coast. Home rule found in St. Louis its first habitat on this continent. This is volume three out of four, containing many biographies of the most important persons in St. Louis history.

Book Description
Excerpt from St. Louis History of the Fourth City, 1763-1909, Vol. 3 Mr. Judson, however, is not learned in the law alone, for he has studied long and carefully the subjects that are to the statesman and to the man of affairs of the greatest import, - the questions of finance, political economy, sociology, and has through clear and logical utterance presented his views from the lecture platform, being many times called upon to address public gatherings. In 1887 he addressed the Commercial Club of St. Louis upon the subject, What Shall the State Teach? The following year spoke before the Missouri Bar Association on The Rights of Minority Stockholders in Missouri, in 1890 he presented to the Commercial Club of St. Louis The Relation of the State to Private Busi ness Associations, and in 1891 spoke before the American Bar Association upon The Liberty of Contract Under the Police Power. His address 011 Justice in Taxation as a Remedy for Social Discontent was given before the Round Table Club of St. Louis in 1898, and in 1900 he addressed the American Economics Association on the Taxation of quasi-public Corporations. The above list is sufficient to indicate somewhat of the extent of his researches and investigation. Few men delve so deeply to the root of the matter, and his summary of a situation is always clear, concise, logical and convincing. He was chairman of the national conference on taxation in 1901 and delivered an address upon the Taxation of Mortgages. He also delivered an address at the quarto-centennial of the University of Colorado in 1902 on the Quarter Centennial in American Jurisprudence. Mr. Judson has always declined' candidacy for public office and, while sympathizing with the historic traditions of the democratic party, has been inde pendent in political action, deeming that political parties are only agencies for the public good. He has always been active as a citizen in the discussion of public questions. He is in favor of a stable currency and sound financial sys tem, opposing the silver movement in the campaign of 1896, and was delegate from the Merchants' Exchange of St. Louis to the historic monetary conferences at Indianapolis.

Book Description
Once a thriving metropolis on the banks of the Mississippi, St. Louis, Missouri, is now a ghostly landscape of vacant houses, boarded-up storefronts, and abandoned factories. The Gateway City is, by any measure, one of the most depopulated, deindustrialized, and deeply segregated examples of American urban decay. "Not a typical city," as one observer noted in the late 1970s, "but, like a Eugene O'Neill play, it shows a general condition in a stark and dramatic form." Mapping Decline examines the causes and consequences of St. Louis's urban crisis. It traces the complicity of private real estate restrictions, local planning and zoning, and federal housing policies in the "white flight" of people and wealth from the central city. And it traces the inadequacy—and often sheer folly—of a generation of urban renewal, in which even programs and resources aimed at eradicating blight in the city ended up encouraging flight to the suburbs. The urban crisis, as this study of St. Louis makes clear, is not just a consequence of economic and demographic change; it is also the most profound political failure of our recent history. Mapping Decline is the first history of a modern American city to combine extensive local archival research with the latest geographic information system (GIS) digital mapping techniques. More than 75 full-color maps—rendered from census data, archival sources, case law, and local planning and property records—illustrate, in often stark and dramatic ways, the still-unfolding political history of our neglected cities.
