THE STORY OF A GREAT YEAR.

Whatever else may be said of 1911,
nobody will insinuate that it will be
blank in the history books" OF
one sort or another the year which
expired Sunday made good deal of
history. Wars, political convulsions
and social disturbances have extended
over large part of the world. A
civil war is raging in China at this
moment, and Russia and Persia and
Italy and Turkey have foreign con-
flicts on their hands. Earlier in the
year Spain was compelled to do some
fighting in the section of Morocco
which was nearest to her territory,
Portugal, Hayti, Nicaragua, Paraguay
and Mexico had civil wars, and there
is no certainty that permanent peace
has come to the last-named country
yet, for Zapata is still unconquered,
and Gomez is wanted" at the City
Of Mexico. Germany on the one side
and France and England on the other
seemed to be on the verge of war a
few months ago, and the tension of
those days, so far as regards Ger
many and England, has not been re-
laxed materially, so far as the people
of those countries can see. Many Of
them are asking why the Anglo Ger
man exposition, which was to be held
in London in 1918, has been postponed
for year. The time in which to COM
plete the buildings and to collect the
exhibits was considered ample until
the Morocco difficulty came up.
On account of the cost of living,
strikes of large proportions have ta-
ken place in England, Spain, France,
Germany and Austria in the past
twelve months, some of these being
attended with more tumult than had
been seen in any such affairs in the
previous two or three decades. The
one which took place in Vienna forced
the government to declare martial law
there, which was the first time that
this had been done in that city since
the rising Of 1S4S, which compelled
Ferdinand to abdicate, and which re-
suites in placing his nephew, Francis
Joseph, on throne which he still
holds. A lockout Of cotton spinners
has just taken place in England which
affects 100000 persons directly, and
which threatens to involve far
larger number in week or two. This
will recall the crippling Of that in
dustry which took place half CEN
tury ago, when the blockade Of the
southern ports of the United States
by national war vessels prevented cot
ton from reaching England, the south
being then, ~ now, the largest pro-
ducsr Of that staple In the world. A

WHY CANNOT DuRANGo7

If Des Moines or any other city,
under the commission form Of gov
ernment, in the country can suppress
even so per cent of the social evil,
why cannot Durango? Why, at least,
should not the effort be made? The
statistics furnished by the mayor and
chief of police to the committee spon-
soring the local effort to stamp out
protected debauchery are more than
convincing. They constitute rebuke
10 every community that has not made
a similar effort. The mayor of Des
Moines declares that at the very least
the evil has been reduced from so 70
70 per cent; that crime Of all kinds
has been materially decreased by the
destruction Of the rendezvous toward
which criminals inevitably gravitate;
that the NECESSITY" of tho social evil
has been effectually disproved and
that suppression is the only method
which any enlightened community can
employ at this stage of the worlds
progress.
Whether all these glowing results
would be achieved here may be ground
for honest difference of opinion. But
il is contended by those in favor Of
making the effort to rid the city of its
dens and dives, that Durango should
at least take its place among those
trying to suppress evil in its most
.I h. 1nn. M
ranks of those confessing either that
they do not want to be clean or that
they are not strong enough to cope
with the evil. Such contention un-
doubtedly meets with the Endorsement
Of the better element of the commu-
nifty and cannot be successfully re-
futed. The reproach is not SO much
the conditions that actually exist as
the lack of effort to remedy them
heretofore. Once the effort is hon.
estly made, it will be found that Du-
range is as able to cleanse itself as
any other city.
The man who would introduce such
conditions into his own homo would
be visited with the contempt of his
neighbors and the punishment of the
law. But the small town is only u
small collection of homes and the
large town is only large collection
of homes. Underlying principles are
not affected by the size Of the place.
When each citizen and each official
reaches the point where he refuses
to sanction anything in the commu-
nifty that he would not tolerate in
actual contact with his home, the
problem will be solved. The citizen
and the official owe this viewpoint
to the city in which he lives. Any
individual or official sanction of gross
and palpable immortality is intoler-
able hypocrisy when based upon what
has taken place in the past or upon
the wishes of those who profit by
evil.

Another raise of so cents per pair
in the price of shoes is promised by
the manufacturers. Ida M. Tarbell
and other economic sharks were posi-
tive three years ago that if the duty
was taken off of hides, an era of
cheaper shoes would arrive. That
very thing was done by the trainers
of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, and
ever since hides have been admitted
free of duty, the price of shoes has
been going up.

few months ago England passed
through a political crisis which made
a profound change in its constitu-
tional fabric. This was when the
veto power Of the house Of lords over
general legislation was abolished,
which, within certain limits, makes
the parliament of the country which
invented the double-branch assembly
a single branch body. On Jan. IL an
election for the reichstag takes place
in Germany, in which issues created
in 1911, especially during the Moroc-
co trouble, will figure, and which
promises to be more exciting than any
previous campaign of the past third
of century in that country. The
socialists are more active than they
have been in recent days and expect
to capture many more seats than they
had in the chamber which recently
expired.
In the United States 1911 was a
reasonably favorable year. The coun-
try was at peace with all the world,
and the peace promises to continue
for many more years. No destructive
strikes or any other labor troubles
came to US in these twelve months.
There have been no elections of any
national consequence in the country
during the year. While trade has
been considered to have been rather
dull, it is improving. In some branch
es of activity new records have been
made. Our aggregate exports to the
rest of the world have exceeded all
former figures. Despite the attacks
made on the United States by the Ca
nadians in their recent campaign
against reciprocity, which eliminated
in an adverse vote on that policy on
Sept. 81, our trade with Canada is
steadily increasing. 1t has been great
er for the present twelvemonth than
ever before, while the prospect is that
another "highest" will be scored in
the calendar year which is just ahead
of US. The United States produces
nearly 40 per cent of the aggregate
output of coal for the entire world
and 1911 saw all records for this
country left behind. Gold production
promises to come close to the $780,.
100000 mark, which will keep us 8
good second in this particular field
The Rand district in British South
Africa will make new record fol
1911, its production closely approach
ing SITE, 100000. Despite the fact that
some of the producing countries, Aus
tralia particularly, are falling behino
their highest mark of the past, the
output for the world at large is stead
| lily growing. The great nations, es
pecially the United States, will mo-
lack for an ample supply of gold fol
the present year. In 1911 the United
States played larger role in worlo
finance than ever before. In going
to the rescue of Germany by lending
her between s75,00O,000 and 100000,
900 to tide her over the scare of tn,
Morocco difficulty, we averted a pani'
in that country, which, had it come
would have involved England, Franc
and all the rest of Europe. While th'
United States did not figure in an!
spectacular event in 1911, it was {
