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

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.

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
“Facts Are Fads”
It i a fact that Valdez beer is a food and nut a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who arc interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
