ARKANSAS TO THE FRONT.

Coming from Missouri, which for many years following the Civil war was the butt of ridicule for all the rest to the people on earth, with the possible exception of Arkansas, and knowing how grandly that state has outgrown all the jeers and gibs that were wont to be cast upon it. we have rather enjoyed many of the stories told about Arkansas because we had reason to believe that she, too, would all in due time forge to the front and be recognized for her enterprise, progress and wealth.
 In a statement recently made by State Auditor Moore and published in the Little Rock papers, we find the following interesting figures showing the states wonderful growth:
 Miles of railroad in the state in
 1874 450 Miles of railroads in the state
 in 1906 ............... 5000 Taxable property in state in
 1874 S74.............$ 91, TAG, ,020 Taxable property in state

Many mothers of families in the United States have reason to be grateful to the person who recommended Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This is a medi- cine specially prescribed for diseases of womankind. It does not cure eczema, catarrh in all it's forms, nor heart dis case, for 1t is put up for the single par- pose Of curing diseases peculidr to aComen. It has a reputation of over third of a century of cures, and has sold more largely on this continent than any other medicine for women. Another point in it's favor--it does not contain single drop of alcohol or harmful habit-forming drugs. It is purely vegetable and perfectly harm less in any condition of the system. An alcoholic compound for women is something no woman should take and yet vFavorite Prescription" is the only tonic and nervine put up for sale through druggists, especially for wom- ans weaknesses, that does not contain alcohol and that too in large quantities.

THE SPIRIT OF DIscONTENT

In a speech before the students of Drake University at Des Moines, la, Thomas P. Shonts, chairman of the Panama Canal Commission, speaking of present day conditions, among other things is reported to have said:
 Calm reasoning is necessary to meet and direct into safe channels the spirit of discontent and revolt that is abroad" also "that the demand for reform, hysterical and unreasoning as many of them are, they are well grounded and must be needed"
 The flood of exposures, of graft and public plundering being put be- fore the public, together with the prosecutions instituted and convic- tions secured, is enough to arouse the people to a state of frenzy and revolt against present systems and conditions, and it is we'll that men can reason calmly at such times.
 In this connection Senator Stephen B. Elkins of West Virginia, who is a multi-millionaire, recently said:
 There is enough wealth in the world now to prevent poverty, but we have not yet learned how to dis tribute it. We understand the ways of accumulation, but not of distribu- ton.
 "Unrestrained competition in the business world throws society back on the cruel law of the survival of the Attest and in the end the strong prevail and dominate. Con- petition and individualism are the parents of present conditions, of trusts, combinations and colossal fortunes. Theodore Roosevelt once said that he thought compromise between individualism and Socialism would be best. 1 replied that ap- parently this might be a solution, but how could society get rid of the evils of both while holding onto their benefits"
 And we reply that the solution will never come through any com promise with any system which is not fundamentally right.
