general good health of the Austrian
emperor serves as a reminder that
the king business is growing much
safer and healthier than it used to be.
It is not long, as the history of the world goes, since few monarchs could
hope to live to an old age and die
peacefully in their beds. If disease
did not cut short their lives the dag
ger or bullet of an assassin usually
did, or else they fell In battle or were
poisoned by stealth. Modern kings
and emperors have less power than their predecessors had centuries ago,
but they have a better time while they live and they live longer.
In fact, the business of serving as
nerealtary rulers in civilized countries has become a quiet, leisurely
and rather humdrum occupation. It
calls for a great deal of attention to
small matters, but It, involves little severe strain and few risks. It is a
gentlemanly job, well paid and alto
gether comfortable for men who are not too fond of having their own way
or too much exercised over Rreat
problems of state.

Garfield Lodge, No. 469. F. State meeting every Friday
A A. M. evening.
The year 1912 has seen the birth
of the new Chinese republic, and the
growth of socialism and the antl
monarchial sentiment in the old European countries. Political unrest in Mexico, Ireland, and other states
have occupied much of the news of
the year.
Progress in aviation, surgery, and
in all the arts and sciences, and the discovery of the south pole will make
1912 memorable. It will also be re
membered as a year of bumper crops
and unrivaled prosperity.
Undoubtedly the historian of the
future in picking out the celebrated
occurrences of 1912 will find himself
dwelling upon the political aspects of
this twelve-month period. The birth
of a new party, the overthrow of the republican party, and the election of a democratic president will afford
much material for history writing.
IT should gradually dawn on some
of the local democratic pie counter warmers that many are spoken of but
few are chosen.

They are not. And what remedy
have you? None but to go to another supposedly reputable store and do the
same thing over again.
SEATTLE'S GOOD RECORD.
Seattle, in Washrington, which has
a population of nearly 100,000, has
earned the proud distinction of hav
ing a better health record than any American city near its size. During the last year It expended 54 cents per
capita in its health department, and
with pardonable show of pride tells how the work was performed. It is really an old story, but is always
worth retelling because of its value
although every community Is doing with greater or less thoroughness what Seattle has done. The north
western city makes a liberal appro
priation for street cleaning, exercises
close supervision over the construe
tion of all new buildings, permits no careless plumbing, wages war upon bad housing conditions and supplies
pure water. Back of this record and

1912. The year 1912, now at its close, will occupy an important place in the chronicles of history. No year in the past two decades haB been replete
with such a rapid succession of im
portant and significant happenings. War, wide-spread political upheavals,
and a continued period of world-wide
unrest, have been some of the
features of 1912. Hardly a week In
the year, has been without its his
tory-making events.
The roll of the drum and the roar of musketry ceased in Tripoli only to be heard immediately after in the
Balkan mountains. As the year draws to a close peace negotiations on
the part pt tke belligerent nations
keeps pace with general war preparations by the great powers of Europe
Death during 1912 claimed the
Danish king, the Japanese mikado
and our own vice-president. Of other great men . it also took Wilbur
Wright, Lord Lister, and General
Booth of the Salvation Army. The assassin has been busy in 1912
In Spain the premier was slain and
a few days ago a Japanese prince was killed. Attempts were made upon the life of ex-president Roosevelt, and the
viceroy of India. In Hillsvllle, Va
mountaineers wiped out a whole
court.
Of great disasters the Titanic
wreck, the greatest sea calamity of
modern times, claimed 1600 lives
Labor troubles convulsed England and Germany for many weeks; and
our own Lawrence strike was not
without its sinister aspects.
Of great legal cases the year has
been marked by the trials and con
victlon of Lieut. Becker of the New
York police and his gunmen allies
and of the labor union dynamiters at
Indianapolis. All these asserted the power of society to rid itself of festering sores.

ASK FOR SEPARATE CIRCUIT. Members of the Shelby County Bar Association at a special meeting today at Shelbyville reopened their fight to have Shelby County made a separate judicial circuit. The matter had been allowed to rest for the last two years as the result of the passage of a bill by the Legislature of 1911, which gave the county a Superior Court in addition to the regular Circuit Court that was established several years ago with Rush County as a part of the circuit.
