1ST
ONE OF REVOLTS
Marked by Unrest Involving the
Entiro World.
"REBELS" ALWAYS VICTORS
Chlneao and Mexican Revolutions and
Strife Against Graft and Monop
oly Croat Strides Mado In
Aviation.
When tho historian of tho futuro rec
ords the ovonts of tho year 1911, ho
will lay particular stress on tho poli
tical and social unost throughout tho
world. This was not confined to any
one country, nor to a few countries;
it was world-wide, Involving practical
ly overy nation, both civilized and un
civilized. It Included revolutions
agalnBt long-standing governments,
battles of labor and capital, wars be
twoon dlffcront nations and, In short,
ovorythlng that could bo branded as
strife against existing conditions or
growing conditions.
Most significant of all tho events of
tho year wus tho explosion In opon
rebellion of tho hatred, that had been
accumulating through tho -ages, of tho
Chlnesd against tho despotic Manchu
dynasty. Passive, unresisting, yet at
tho snnio time loathing and despising
tho power that held them In subject
ion, tho millions In tho Far East cm-
plro had for centuries submitted to
bolng trodden on by unreasoning, over
bearing, all-potent self-styled doml
gods. But China was gradually awnk
onlng nnd, when tho first flames of
revolution burst forth, It was tho sig
nal for tho conflagration to becomo
goncral.
Rebels tho Winners Everywhere.
uui tno umneso insurrection wns
but a larger edition of dozens, yea,
scores, of upheavals of various kinds
In other parts of tho world. Thoy
broke forth with such suddonness that
It was almost lmposslblo to realizo
what was occurring until tho wholo
thing was over. Without exception,
every one of tho great disturbances of
tho year that reached an ultlmato re
suit, wound up in favor of tho party
or element robelllng against tho con
ditlon. In not ono did the defenso win
over tho offense
Tho Mexican revolution, near to our
own doors, wa3 a striking example of
tho overturn of rogimo. Nearer still
was the successful culmination of tho
battle for statehood of Arizona and
How Mexico.
Other struggles of equal magnltudo
developed during the year, many of
them with sensational effect, In which
tho lssuo Is still being fought Among
these aro tho battlo between labor and
capital, tho "peoplo" and monopoly,
and advocates of popular government
as opposed to representative govern
ment Campaigns on graft havo beon
waged with flerco resolution by city,
state and federal authorities, not only
In all corners of tho United States, but
abroad as well.
Tho McNamara dynamiting case, tho
growth of sontlmont for popular elee
tlon of all federal officials, tho prog'
ress of tho woman suffrago movement,
tniBt prosecutions, tho campaign for
currency reform and that for lower
tariffs all these typify tho unrest that
exists In our own country.
Year's Important Events.
Aeldo from tho numberless conflicts,
many noteworthy things havo boon
penned in tho diary of 1911. Scionce
bnB witnessed vast strides, particularly
in tho field of aviation. Tho flights of
Atwood from St Louis to Now York
and of Ilodgers from Now York to Pas
adena, Cal., wore tho crowning
achievements In this lino. About all
that remains to bo accomplished in av
iation, as a feat, Is tho crossing of tho
ocoan.
When all that Is good and all that
la bad ero considered togothor, it can
not be sold othcrwlso than that tho
year was ono la which tho good pro-
dominated.

Again the Poor Fat Man.
Among tho passengers on a down
town car tho other evening wero a fat
man, a lean man, who proved to bo
denf, and n 'ouplo of giggly girls. On
ono of tho sldo streets a Gorman band
was engaged In making life miserable
for tho residents of tho neighborhood.
Tho fnt man shifted uneasily In his
scat and remarked sarcastically to the
loan man In a low tono, "Music I"
Tho lean man put his hand to hta
oar and said, "Eh?"
""Music," repeated tho man in loud
er tonos.
"Beg pardon, I nm not able to hear,"
said tho loan man.
"Music," yelled tho fat man, so loud
that tho passengers nil tittered and
tho little giggly girls all grow red In
tho faco.
"Oh," said tho lean man ns ho
turned nround and looked about htm.
Tho llttlo German band was out of
sight by this tlmo, and tho passengers
laughed lmmodoratoly at tho vain at
tempts of tho unfortunato man to And
tho object of tho fat mnn's comments.
Fnt men aro proverbially good no
tured, and by that tlmo tho oddity of
tho situation had dawned upon this
particular fnt man.
"Hum," ho said, "you folks needn't
laugh. Our frlond saw fully as much
music as you and I heard."
