THE BEST STATE PAPER.

The Twice-a-week Arkansas
Democrat has 50 many adyan-
tages as a news gatherer that no
other paper can claim to be its
equal in Arkansas. The whole
field Of news is covered thor
oughly. The special features
and illustrations are always the
best. More noted writer's con-
tribute to its columns than to
any other paper of its class.
1t is published especially to meet
the wants Of that large class Of
readers who have not the oppor-
tunity or cannot afford to read a
daily paper. The telegraphic
and market service Of the Demo-
crat has never been equalled il
the history of journalism il
Arkansas or the Southwest.
The Twice Democrat
has a larger circulation now than
a0y other newspaper and is the
only twjce"a-week State paper.
Tho Legislature is soon to convene
and many important matters will
come before that body. The
Democrat will make a special

EDITORIAL.
WITHOUT A PEER.

We have known for some
time that w. r. Lindsey,
editor of the encyclopedia OF
knowledge for this part OF
the world the Northeast
Arkansas Enterprise, pub
lished at Maynard: the
widest place in the road in
Randolph county, was one
of the brainiest chaps who
ever inherited Adams mis-
cry. We formed this opin-
ion of the Northeast Arkan-
sas manager months ago
when we seen that he had
written d love story-a real
serial love yarn that occupied
space in the Enterprise for
many weeks. We predicted
then that if not providentlally
i1indered he would be some
thing great before he shuffled
off this mortal coil. The
opinion we held has been
strengthened from week to
week when we read in the
Observation-Disclosures Ar
kansas Enterprise where
the editor remarks all the
way from six to a score OF
times that his is the biggest
and best county paper in the
State The continual flow
of philosophy like this was
the surest sign we had of
Lindsey's abundance Of gray
matter. And now, to cap it
all off, he has gone to carv-
ing out pictures on a cheese
head and printing them on
the hrst page--they are
better pictures, too, than
any 4'year old schoolboy can
make,
Go it, Lindsey, there is
absolutely no limit to the
possibilities for a man of
your turn and ability in this
country, You are exactly
correct, your paper is the
greatest sheet west of the
Mississippi, and the editor,
oh, well, he has ten to one
more hard hoss-sense than
the statute of liberty.
There is such a thing as a
man blowing his fool head
off, but if editor Lindsey
doesn't attain greatness,
above carving chcese.heads
we never will say again that
there is anything in indica-
tions.

CHICAGO, June a. = Comptroller
Charles G. Dawes was in Chicago a few
hours on his return from Puget sound,
whittier he accompanied Senator Fair
banks, Of Indiana, The latter went up
to Alaska on the revenue cutter McCul
loch to investigate the boundary dis
pute. The comptroller spoke Of the finan-
cial condition of the West and other mat
tiers of current public interest, saying:
To-day the West Is becoming q credi-
tor instead OF a debtor, and is doing a
large portion of It's business with Its
own capital Many of the banks In the
West, which q few years ago were re-
discounting large lines of paper at high
rates In the East are now competitors In
the making Of loans In the Eastern mar
kets.
1.-The condition of business throughout
the West is extremely good. and In mark
ed contrast with conditions which ex>
listed there several years ago. The people
seem to be engaged almost exclusively
in the development of the great resources
Of the country.
There seems to be a general sentiment
on the part of the people of the coast
that the Alaskan boundary difficulty will
be properly and rightfully settled without
trouble. They feel however, the keenest
interest in the subject. and fully realize
the Importance of proper decision to
their own commercial welfare
1.-THE question Of Asiatic commerce has
become one of added interest and impor-
lance to the coast since Deweys victory
at Manila, and the aggressivenesS and
alertness which the Western people have
heretofore shown In common will inure
to, the betterment of our commerce with
Asia In a marked degree"
