Most significant of the events Of
1905, because 1t indicates unmistak-
ably the memorable advance of man.
kind toward high ideals of liberty,
Justice and perfect civilization, is the
political and economic upheaval now
taking place in Russia. Wearying
under load of taxation, rem
dered well-nigh unbearable by added
burdens imposed by the prosecu-
ton Of disastrous war, the
peasAntry and common people started
a revolt against the tyrannical aris-
tocracy. and have been able to force
from their unwilling ruler many con-
cessions tending toward a free citizen
ship. Massacre and rapine, in which
the jews were the chief sufferers, are
part of the price paid for the advan-
tage gained. Another impressive proof
Of civilizations advance Is the blood

dissolved Its political connection with.
Sweden and seated a king upon its
long unusued throne. The recent ex-

other great engineering feat, and the
Lewis and Clark Exposition in Port
land, Ore, presented to the world a
record Of achievement in all lines.
Great disasters have been fewer
than usual, though tornadoes in Okla
homa and Kansas destroyed more
than i've hundred lives, and earth
quakes. fire and railway wrecks have
done their dread work.
