Bad Roads and Schools.

Bad roads and illiteracy go hand in hand Good roads and education are handmaidens. Arkansas is going to nave gool roads. but first of all t must have good schools. We must see to 1t that the twelve mill tax levy IS authorized by the voters. There Is just one thing that will de-

IMMIGRATION, DfyERSBFICATI0N
 AND GOOD ROADS.

The Arkansas Gazette came out Sunday with what if called it's I'm migration, Diversification and Good Roads Number This number con- tained oneihundred and twentyAfour pagesAAenough to make the average newspaper man finch when he all lows his mind to slip over on the present price of white paper.
 But aside from all that this spe- cial edition represents progressive Arwkansas, and in true Gazette fashion. In addition to the applica- ton of that spirit to state affairs, 1t is pleasant to see counties and cit ies and many of the more prominent institutions of the comomnwealth brought into the public view in most efficient manner. Polk county should have been among these-but is not.
 How many people are there, do you suppose, who realize that in the Gazette Arkansas has a paper far above the ordinary, and a paper that lis different
 The Gazette is above the ordinary in the way 1t gives the worlds news, handling it in a most comprehen- sive manner, and placing it before the readers in attractive form, cas- fly read because well printed, easily digested because intelligently edited and arranged
 The Gazette's editorial policy seems always to speak for the best in Arkansas, striving to guide the state upward in thought and onward in development.
 And the Gazette is different.
 Where is there a state newspaper, or newspaper of metropolitan pre- lenses, that makes such an effort to keep on such intimate relations with the affairs of all the people of all the divisions of it's state? And the Gazette effort is remarkably efficient, too. It keeps up with even the minute, almost neighborhood in- terests of all the state, and no paper ] in the land more successfully ham, dles large events, ranging from un- usual news to election returns.
 With such a broad-gaged policy t is not strange that the Gazette's cir eulation has been multiplied by six in the past fifteen years, and has jumped by seven thousand readers in two years. And it's power has grown faster than it's circulation. The Gazette is justly proud of Ar kansas as it is, but ever strives to help it to better things.
 Arkansas is proud of the Gazette and win see that it's hopes are re- alized
