"nu SOCIAL unest throughout the
world This was not confined to anv
ono country, nor to few countries
Il was worldwide, involving practical
y every nation, both civilized and nm
0iFliized. 1t included revolutions
AGAINST long-standing governments
battles OF labor and capital wars he.
tween different nations and. in short.
everything that could be branded as
s1f4ie against existing conditions or
growing conditions.
Most significant of all the events of
the year was the explosion in open
rebellion of the hatred, that had been
accommodating through the ages, of the
Cnlnese against the despotic Manchu
dyhasty. Passive, unresisting, yet at
the same time loathing and despising
the power that held them in subject
Ion, the millions in the Far East en-
pre- had for centuries submitted to
being trodden on by unreasoning, over
bearing, aIi-potent seif-styled demi-
gods. But China was gradually awak-
enlng and, when the first flames of
revolution burst forth, 1t was the sig
nal for the confagration to become
general
Rebels the Winners Everywhere.
But the Chinese instruction was
but larger edition OF dozens, yea,
scores, of upheavals of various kinds
in other parts of the world. They
broke forth with such suddenness that
1t was almost impossible to realize
what was occurring until the whole
thing was over. Without exception,
every one of the great disturbances of
he year that reached an ultimate re-
suit, wound up in favor of the party
or element rebelling against the con-
dition. In not one did the defense win
over the offense
The Mexican revolution, near to our
own doors was striking example of
the Overturn of regime. Nearer still
was the successful elimination of the
battle for statehood of Arizona and
New Mexico
Other struggles OF equal magnitude
developed during the year, many of
them with sensational effect, in which
the issue is still being fought. Among
these are the battle between labor and
capital the people" and monopoly.
and advocates of popular government
as opposed to representative govern
ment Campaigns on graft have been
waged with fierce resolution by city,
state and federal authorities, not only
in all corners of the United States, but
abroad as well.
The Mcnamara dynamiting case, the
growth of sentiment for popular cleo
ton of all federal officials. the prog
ress OF the woman suffrage movement,
trust prosecutions, the campaign for
currency reform and that Tor lower
tariffs-all these typify the unrest that
exists in our own country.
Years important Events.
Aside from the numberless conflicts,
many noteworthy things have been
nenned in the diary of 1911. Science
has witnessed vast strides particularly
in the field of aviation. The flights OF
Atwood from ST. Louis to New York
and of Rodgers from New York to Pas
adepa. Cal, were the GROWING
achievements IN this line. About all
that remains to be accomplished In av-
iation as feat, is the crossing OF the
ocean
When all that is good and all that
% had are considered together, 1t can
NOT be said otherwise than that the
wear was one in which the good pre-
dominated.
