FRIDAY, JANUARY 1(1, 1013. NOTABLE EVENTS. It was Washington Irving who wrote a highly diverting sketch on the mutability of things. If might be well, in view of recent events, to enlarge the topic to the mutability of empires. Readers of newspapers who hastily scan the accounts of oc currences as they are recorded day by day have witnessed of late developments that will stand out conspicuously when the next gen eration studies the history of the period. The overthrow of the Ot toman arms in Europe and Af rica, resulting in the curtailment of the power which some centur ies ago the combined force of Eu rope in -vain launched itself against, is but one of the devel opments. The humbling of Is lam will go down as the most im portant world event of the year 1912. The renaissance of China, which has been going on quiet ly during 'the present twelve month, is another epoch-making event. Following the overthrow of the century-old Manchu pow er the ancient empire has come into the family of modern-na lions in swaddling clothes as an infant republic. Mexico in the long-lienee will look back upon 1912 as a year of blood and horror, the aftermath of the overthrow of Diaz, whose power in a way seemed as unas sailable as that of either the Manchus or the Turks, having been a reign of lawlessness that has made the country groan. In our own country there was an avalanche that, gave notice to fh1 world that I ho'government of the people, by the people and for the people cannot be subverted by any would-be modern .lulius Cae sar. THE BALKANS PEACE PARLEY. Tin* Turkish Sultan knows, of course', that the European powers ilo nol-want war and can not have war, and this knowledge gives him .courage lo.hlutl' and h'lusler and‘delay for I lie purpose of making I he best terms possible. The negotiations thus far have made little progress toward peace but the temper of I he representa tives of I he several powers, so far as manifested, is not that of unreasonable obstinacy, but ratti er that of willingness to con sent to an arrangement looking lo permanent peace if such is at tainable without incongruous concessions. The attitude of the Balkans, being that of conquer ing invaders, inspires expres sions outside the conference chamber which cannot be accept ed as indicating the ultimate ouf come of llie work of the entire body of plenipotentiaries. Th* dismemberment of Turkey is a delicate task in which there are many difficulties due to conflict ing ambitions. The world generally will hope fhal Hie negotiations will he pressed to a successful conclu sion, assuring .justice to all con cerncd--with the mental reser vation that the Turks will lie driven out of Europe., 1 EDITORIAL ROTES. Turkish diplomats are heller j slayers Ihan her soldiers. The Balkan field is not being overworked by life insurance companies. How can I he. Mexican army be reorganized when il has never been organized? If mere lime is what the Turks want, their system is all right, but if they want a good time they better hurry. Those who have written poems about the beautiful snow, per-, haps have never worked on the Copper River railroad. India, being an old and a wise country, should know that it is rfeithev safe, or sane to welcome a vice-roy with a bomb. The officials of the Washing ton railroads will know how to sympathize with those trying to operate trains along the Copper river. Seattle is pining for an avia tion school, when the fact re mains that there is already too much high flying in that rapid burg. By this time Seattle should know what the Arctic Brother hood tliinks of their eternal pen chant for grabbing things Alas kan. It didn't take Kanagin a tittle of I lie time to settle tin1 status of Hie man to whom he gave liquor Ilian it took two juries to disagree. Neither (he high cost of living nor the threatened Democratic revision of the tariff is keeping Dan Cupid from asserting his prerogal ive. The members of tin' Alaska' legislature have a virgin field to. work in when it comes to pass- j ing laws, as we are literally a | lawless people. The people of the interior who have not been receiving their mail are beginning to protest against the miserable service ov er the Copper River railroad. After so many ways of spend ing money have been discovered within the past, few weeks, it would be a relief for some one to come along with a scheme by which some money can be made. The Boise (Idaho) editors who have been sentenced to ten days in jail for contempt of court can’t hide the bars with the flowers they have been receiving from their admiring Bull -Moose friends.
