Show THE WASATCH WAVE, HEBER CITY. UTAH WHAT 1913 BROUGHT TO THE WORLD Summary of the More Important Happenings of the Here and Abroad. Twelve-Mont- h Washington. Really the year 1913 has been a happy and rather fortunate one for the world In general. It waa not marked by any great catastrophe, uch as the San Francisco earthquake or the Titanic disaster; It saw the end of the wars In the Balkans, It witnessed the Inauguration of a Democratic president in the United States, followed by genuine tariff reduction without financial panic. The death roll for the past year has hit the financial world rather hard, including such notable figures as J. P. Morgan, Henry M. Flagler and James Catholic R. Keene. The Roman church also lost two of its most venerable cardinals, Oreglia, dean of the sacred college, and Itampolla, once secretary at the Vatican and who would have been pope Instead of Plus X had not the emperor of Austria voted against him. In the United States political developments have been extremely interesting, but not startling. Everything seems to hare gone the way of the Democrats. Democratic victories were won last November in New York city, the state of New Jersey and state of Massachusetts. Congress has passed the currency bill, and the banking Interests of the country are adjusting themselves to It., Doings Mexico. In South of the Rio Grande developments have been startling and rapid. The year 1913 saw in Mexico the assassination of President Francisco Mat Pino Suarct and dera, Gustavo Madero, brother of the president, the usurpation of the presidency by Gen. Vlctoriano Huerta, boosted Into that position by General Felix Dias. Then came the rupture between Dias and Huerta, with the practical banishment of Dias. Later In 1913 came the rise of Venustlano Carranza, leader of the constitutionalists In the aorth of Mexico, with the result that the powerful northern etates of Mexico are now under his control. Scarcely bad Carranza become famous than Francisco Pancho Villa, former ban-li- t, with a price on his head, leaped Into the limelight as a rebel leader serving Carranza, and It Is now questioned whether Carranza or Villa is the stronger in the leadership of the constitutionalist forces. In Its relations with Mexico the United States has stood firm. Early In his administration President Wilson announced his determination to withhold recognition from the Huerta and although much pressure has been brought to bear, the president has refused to change his attitude. Efforts have been made to Induce Huerta to retire and allow a fair and honest election, without result. Today the United States has a heavy armed force at the border and an Impressive array of battleships off the coast. Assassinations ef ths Year. Barring Mexico's barbarous achievements, there have been few assassinations In countries generally recognized as being civilized. George I, king of Greece, was assassinated by a mad anarchist in Salonika, March 18. In of the Turkey the commander-ln-chle- f Ottoman forces In the Balkan' wars, Enver Bey, was slain on February 17. This was followed soon after by the assassination of Nazim Pasha, Turkish premier. Turkey and Mexico appear to have been contending with each other for honors in the line of assassination, with Mexico slightly in the lead. European affairs have gone along rather as usual, barring a few extra startling outbursts by suffragists In England, such as the sensational suicide of the young suffragette who threw herself before the king's horse In the derby and was killed. Pollti-eall- y England has been in a furor, which, however, Is nothing out of the ordinary. The year has seen the very rerearkable rebellion of Ulster, at, . ler the direction of Sir Edward and the organisation of an army of Uhstennen to resist enforcement of the home rule btll should it pass parliament, England has also had Its share of labor troubles. There have been large strikes at home and In Ireland, notably the Dublin riots, led by Jim Larkin. All of the European powers have (one on m heretofore In the construction of battleships, and the "armed eamp policies of Germany, England, Trance and Russia are stronger than ever, poealbly made so by the Balkan Car-son- wars. in the Far East. In the far east several thing of moment occurred in 1913, among them the Chinee rebellion and establishment of a republic, and In Japan the death of the Mikado and the succession of his son and the demonstrations and riots as a result of the adoption of the anti-alielandowning law in California, In the realm of science and explora n n Sleep a Universal Necessity. The question where sleep begins Is by no means easily answered. One le Inclined to draw the line at the Insects. But since all living things, plants as well as animals, display periodical states of quiescence, perhaps we shall be near the truth In regarding sleep as universal among living things. In the case of plants. It is enforced by darkness, save in the case of many bacteria and fungi, which, like evil deeds, grow under the cover of darkness. Marks Half-WaPoint Close to the" main road connecting the towns of Eastport and Calais, Me., stands a unique little monument erect- tion there have been but few developments that could positively be desig- nated as history-creatinThe discovery of the south pole and the disaster to the Scott expedition both occurred In 1912, although the fate of Captain Scott was not made known to the world until 1913. Dr. Fredrich Franz Friedmann, discoverer of a "cure for tuberculosis, made bis appearance In 1913, but the value of Dr. Friedmann's cure, and other cures for that dread disease announced at about the tame time, are very much open to doubt Great strides have undoubtedly been made In the treatment of cancer, but no positive cure bae yet been discovered, although much has been learned about the value of radium. Aviation la progressing rapidly. Much attention to aeronautics has been paid by the various European governments from a military standpoint but no means of making anywhere near safe have yet been discovered. France has organized and trained a military aviation corps that would unquestionably be of great value In case of war, and Germany has devoted much time and money to The United dirigible ballooning. States has spent some 50,000 during the year In military experiments In aviation. The number of deaths resulting from aviation has not been especially large. Aviators have died, just as aviators died In 1912, and Germany suffered a number of disastrous accidents to Zeppelin dirigible balloons. Many of the accidents of aeroplanes resulted from fancy exhibition flying and military experiments. The year 1913 saw the first aeroplane flight over the Panama banal. On the Panama Canal. In Panama great developments have taken place. October 10 last eaw the dynamiting of Gamboa dike, being the removal of practically the last serious obstruction in the big ditch. The canal Is now almost completed, so far as a transcontinental waterway Is concerned, although not yet prepared for the passage of steamers from ocean to ocean. Work has also been begun on the buildings and grounds for the great Panama-Pacifi- c International exposition, to be held In S&n Francisco In 1915, as a celebration of the formal opening of the Panama canal. New York state furnished the most sensational bit of local politics of the year In the Impeachment and removal of Gov. William Bulzer, followed by Sulzer's nomination by Progressives and election to the stale assembly. In the world of sports the United States still stands supreme. In addition to humbling the British polo cup challengers, the United States further shocked Johnny Bull when Francis Oulmet, the youthful golf wonder, walked away from the English experts In the national open golf championship at Brookline, Mass., and by the winning of the International Davis tennis cup. America's supremacy in sports was further recognized during the year when King Gustave of Sweden presented the American athletes with the medals and trophies won at the Olympia games In Stockholm in 1912. The sporting world suffered a shock, however, when It was learned that "Jim1 Thorpe, the famous- - Carlisle Indian athlete really belonged In the class!

CinrlnneM CANDIDATES PROGRESSIVE NEARLY EVERY CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. IN DECIDED AT BIG CONFERENCE Many Republican Member View the Prospect With Alarm, While the Democrats Naturally Are Highly Pleased With It By GEORGE CLINTON. Democrats, Progressive-Repand conservative Republicans in congress are known to be deeply Interested In the plans of the Progressive party for the next congressional campaign. It Is definite- ly known that the party leaders Intend to nominate candidates for congress In every district In the country except probably In some few districts In the southern states where the Progressives think It would be hopeless to nominate anyone even with a view of giving their party a foothold from which to advance in the future. Several Progressive representatives In congress and members of the partys congressional and national committees have just finished one of the most important conferences which the party has held since the campaign of 1912 was brought to a close. It can be aald truthfully that the congressional campaign of 1914 Is on. The Democrats and Republicans here, and especially the Republicans, are keenly interested in the development of the Progressives intentions and campaign methods. The Progressive leaders at their New York meeting, which waa attended by many party men from this city, made an analysis of the returns from all the congressional districts in the 1912 election. On their return to Washington the Progressives who took part in the conference said the regret of the party was that It did not put more candidates In the conOnr gressional field 15 months ago. study of results, they said, showed that Instead of 20 members of the present house of representatives we would have double that number If candidates had been nominated In districts which we thought were hopeless, but which upon a study of the returns we now know might have been carried. Worries Many Republicans. Republicans in Washington, of course, are ready to deny the Progressive claim that they could have carried a number of congressional districts that they did not carry, but it Is evident that the Republican representatives In congress from a good many districts are worried over the prospect of having Progressive opponents In their districts next fall, (from a personal point of view Republican members of congress, representatives and senators too, have a deeper Interest In the results of the Progressive conference than they have In the matter of calling an extraordinary convention of the old party. There la a strong hope apparent among Republicans, which it is needless to say Is not shared by the Democrats, that something will happen between now and next fall to get the Republicans and the Progressives together so that only one candidate will be in the field in each congressional district against the standard bearer of Democracy- - The Progressives still Insist, however, that amalgamation is Impossible and that they will have a candidate In every district and that In the next congress the Progressives will be represented not by a small minority of 20 members, but by twice that number. The Democrats, of course, .look on the intention of the Progressives with open countenances of joy. Meantime the Progressive-Republican- s and the conservative Republicans will go on with their efforts to Induce the Progressives to forego their intention and It is understood that various kinds of propositions will be made to them of a progressive natnre in order to induce them to be good. Washington. ublicans Army Policy Defined. Secretary of War Garrison In his annual report to the president of the United Slates, which was submitted also to congress, said: The army is not & luxury it Is & public necessity. A nation that Is opulent, enterprising and unarmed ae of old, still invites aggression, If not disaster. In this expression of the war department's official will be found the administrations attitude toward the army of the United States. There were some of the peace propagandists who thought that with the Incoming of a Democratic administration steps would be taken to reduce the regular fighting forces of the government on land and on sea. The reebmmendations of the secretary of war and those of the secretary of the navy make It appear that the policy of the present administration toward the twin services will be very much like that of Its Republican predecessors. No Decrease at Present, There are thousands of people in the United States who are praying for the day to come when peace among all nations of the world will be 'assured. The flat statement Is made that the good people of the country are praying for this condition, because representatives In congress are receiving petitions every day from all over the country urging that any proper means may be taken to forward the day of concord. It seems likely from th- - present attitude of congress, and of the admin- - iitratlon. that president, cabinet officers, senators and representatives take the view that we must at least have the foundations of a good military and naval organization so that If the pinch of necessity comes there In will be something substantial training and equipment from which the volunteer sea and land forces can get proper guidance and quickly be transformed Into effective fighting units. Blg Service for Humanity. In recent years, as the new administration la pointing out In connection with its army and navy program, the militant organizations have performed services for humanity In no way connected with campaigns against human foes. Secretary Garrison has said; We have a record of efficiency in the discharge of a great variety of duties as shown In the establishment and conduct of the military governments of Cnba, Porto Rico and the Philippines governments whose establishment and , maintenance were accompanied, among other things, by great sanitary reforms, notably In Cuba, where the work resulted In the discovery of the causes and methods of handling yellow fever, and also in the removal of this tropical scourge from Cuba, and thereby rendering Us elimination from the southern United States possible. The doctors of the army and navy constantly are at work trying to solve disease problems. Col. William C. Gorgas of the army, who by his sanitary work made the Panama canal possible, Is new on a leave of absence granted by the war department so that he may help the mine owners of South Africa to stamp out the disease which kills hundreds of their employes every year. Some of the physicians of the naval service and notably eoine of the physicians of the marine hospital service, are now stationed In various parts of the world studying bubonic plague problems! and other problems to which the definite sanitary answer has not yet been found. The officers of the twin service say that their work In the main is much more one of saving than It Is of killing. Literary Test for Allens. President Wilson In his address to congress at the opening of the session had nothing to regular say about tho passage of a law to restrict Immigration by the means of the insertion of the educational clause In the statutes. It is now known definitely, however, that a majority of members in the house and senate Is In favor of the Insertion In the law of a clause which shall prevent the landing in America of Immigrants who can neither read nor write. Last year a bill was passed with the educational provision included, but President Taft Intervened with his veto, and while the senate voted to pass it over his veto, the house declined by a email majority. ' The question has come up again, and just now It Is a sharp one In both house and senate. The forces of the advocates and of the opposition already are aligned. Hearings are being held and it Is likely that an Immigration hill similar to the one passed last year will go through both house and senate, and be presented to the president for his signature some time before the early summer. The general belief In Washington is that President Wilson will sign the bill. Before the committee of congress there have appeared representatives of the Jews, who come from Russia, representatives of the Poles, Hungarians, Bohemians, ItalUns and other races whicKJonn a large part of the immigration tide. Arguments of Opponents. The advocates of the admission of the Russian Jews, many of whom would be kept away if the illiteracy test were Imposed, have told congress that many of the Jews who come from Russia are fleeing from persecution, and that to keep them out would be a cruelty and possibly would submit them to the penalty of death. A prominent Polish American, N. L. Piotrow ski, who is the city attorney of Chicago, In speaking before the immigration committee of the house argued that the Poles had been robbed of their own country and their own independence and having been downtrodden and persecuted, their only refuge from oppression is this country. He said that Poland gave two of her noblest and most valiant sons to this country- - in her struggle for independence, Kosclusco and Pulaski. He said, also, that If the literacy clause were Included In the immigration bill many of the liberty seeking Poles would be denied a chance to reach a land where their Ideals can be realized. On the other hand, the committees of congress have been told that the criminal classes largely are recruited from the Illiterates who come to this country and who do not seem to care to take advantage of the benefits of Its Institutions. This is combated by some of the witnesses before the committee who have brought statistics to show that native born Americans form as large a part of the criminal class, with due regard to numbers, comparative. as do the illiterate foreigners. The committees have a problem to solve, but it seems likely that they will solve It In favor of a plan further to restrict immigration. Platinum $40 an Ounce. The geological aurve reports the worlds output of platinum for 1912 aa 314,751 troy ounces, of which Russia contributed 300.000 ounces and Colombia 12,000 ounces. In the United States 721 ounces were produced, while the Imports into this country aggregated $4,053. 682 in value in the same perio. Flantinum is now worth $16 an ounce, against $20 five years ago.

Not many years ago two men were working on the highway in a small town In Maine. As they worked they discussed various people and affaire national of Importance. One morninz one of them referred to the secretary of war, and the other asked: who is Joe, the present secretary war? Why, I dont believe I know hit. name, replied Joe, but here comes old Uncle David Blake-w- eU ask f him. As the old man drove up the labor ers called out. Uncle David, can you tell us who the secretary of war Is?" Uncle David thought deeply for some moments. Well, I ought ter know, but, bless me, I cant seem ter remember just now. And he drove on, thinking deeply. Soon the two men saw Uncle David coming back, and when he came within hailing distance he called out: Say, you fellers, what war did yer mean, anyway?
