FOR ARKANSAS
 STATE HIGHWAY
Commissioners Plan Great District to Extend From Border to Border and to Be Six
 Miles Wide.

Little Rock, June 7.-Commis- sioners Dye and Highflll and Engi- neer Kingsley are planning a three days preliminary trip about June 16 over the route of proposed 125- mile state highway, to extend from St. Francis, on the Missouri line in Clay county, through the county seats of Clay, Green, Craighead, Poinsett, Cross and St. Francis counties, to Forrest City.
 This stretch of gravel road is de- signed to be a part of the proposed Duluth-to-th -the-Gulf highway, which Is now planned to cross the river at Cape Giradeau and run down the east bank of the Mississippi. It is hoped, however, to induce a change of plan by providing a fine stretch of road as proposed.
 The road will run along the side of CroWley's ridge and would be at all times above high water. It passes through a section of country where the finest gravel is found in quantities. The roadway would be l6 feet wide. It is proposed to or ganlze great improvement dis trict along the road, embracing all territory for three miles on each side. It is estimated that the road will cost S4,000 per mile, and 30 or 20 year bonds would be issued to cover the cost. This would be only a nominal cost upon the property owners. It is planned to hold cOun- ty road institutes in each county seat to aid in the formation of the district At Forrest City this road would intersect with the proposed ocean-to-ocean highway, being pro- noted by the Southern National Highway Association.
 Considerable work is being done on the road now in Missouri by the Northeast Arkansas and Southeast Missouri Highway Association, of which Commissioner Highfill is sec retary.
 It is also planned to begin the im- mediate circulation of petitions for the formation of districts to build roads from Paragould to Hopkins bridge, on the St. Francis, a dis tance of eight miles, and from Me Neil to Magnolia, a distance of six miles.
 The first of the proposed county road institutes to be held by the commission will be at Magnolia on June 2S, under the auspices of the Columbia County Good Roads As sociation.
 The promoters of better highways believe that the time has come when agitation is to give way to actual construction.

newspaper creed ended with accuracy, accura-
cy, accuracy; and we are not even surprised to
read in the Atlantic Monthly for December that
newspapers are a greater educative force than
many serious books.
There is double reason for this in that the
papers themselves are improving and the public
itself is improving as steadily. The number of
the we'll informed grows every day and rising
public taste and power of appreciation makes
possible higher class news sheet.
After all it is the public that makes the
papers. They are edited by their readers Gov
ernments are voted on every four years but a
daily is voted on every day. It's subscribers can
kill it in week or they can make it the might
lest engine for public influence, the greatest
single agent for the popular will, that exists.
Just as rapidly as the level of appreciation arises,
just as rapidly as the public demands the best,
the newspapers will improve and rise from height
to height of Pulitzer's spicy recipe for first
class newspaper: "terseness, humor, descriptive
power satire, originality, good literary style,
clever condensation, and accuracy, accuracy, &C
curacy"

The Newspaper

Everyone who keeps up with current htera-
ture must have become aware of the changed
attitude towards newspapers. When the daily
press first became dominant influence in the
nations life, it was quickly seized upon by I'M
scrupulous partisans and self seeking factions
as the best of weapons for their purpose. At the
time Thomas jefferson uttered his famous decla-
ration, Were it left to me to decide whether we
should have government without newspapers
or newspapers without government, | should
not hesitate moment to prefer the latter" he
was also driven to such evaporation by the libes
of prostituted press to write that nothing
save the urgency of more important matters pre-
vented his sending a number of prominent edit
ors to Jail.
The era OF newspaper wars subsidized into an
era Of distrust and incredulousness when it was
common to hear a man say, 20 we'll you can't de-
pend on it; it merely is newspaper talk and
when many we'll educated persons rather boast
ed of never reading the papers.
But now it seems are breaking forth into
new day. The press is changing and the pop
ular attitude is changing in consonance with it.
We not surprised to hear Lord Northcffe
say that the newspapers will even encroach upon
the weekly and monthly magazine field; we are
not surprised to learn that Joseph Pulitzers
