I have witnessed such any enormous development of the vast natural resources of'Arkansas that its Wealth and population have been multiplied, and its industries be- come one of the vital parts of its system.

The credit for this almost unparalleled advance in all phases of civilization must, of necessity, be given to those who have been the guiding geniuses of the State. To those Who have had the perspicacity to cor- rectly prognosticate the future, and then had the ex- executive ability, the courage, the moral strength, and the confidence of their colleagues to consummate their endeavors, the State of Arkansas is eternally indebted.
