the food difficulties precipitated the
revolution, for they intensified popular
feeling against the government. They
made the people think more than ever
before. And this led to a realization
on the part Of the entire nation that
the government was traitorous.
This was the foundation upon which
the success of the revolution rested.
The Russian government had no sup
nation. 1t-was wholly and purely the
creation Of few intriguers.
Conditions became critical in Russia
last November. The disorder in the
food supplies strained the relations be-
tween the government and the democ-
racy to the extreme. When the duma
convened the nation waited GREATNESS
Iy for the coming developments. The
leader of the duma, Miliukoff, bitterly
attacked Premier Sturmer This attack
led to the resignation Of Sturmer
Protopopoff Retained Place.
For moment it seemed that the
duma had triumphed. But Protopopoff,
the minister of the interior, who was a
protege of Rasputin and a friend of
Sturmer, retained his post in spite of
all protests. The newly appointed pre-
mier, Trepof, was anxious to get rid of
Protopopoff, but the latter's connection
with Rasputin secured his position.
The situation grew more and more
acute every day.
Dark rumors of q separate peace
aroused as never before For the Rus
sian army wants to vindicate it's de,
feats in Poland. The Russian army
and the Russian people firmly believe
that had it not been for the govern
ment's treason Poland and Lithuania
would never have been lost to the Teu.
tons.
An attempt was made by some of the
leading figures in the duma and in the
army to reconstruct the government by
the elimination Of Rasputin. The monk
was killed about ten weeks ago. It
was hoped that that would lead to the
overthrow of the hated Protopopoff,
but instead it caused the downfall Of
Trepoff. And Protopopof's power in
creased even more.
There can be no doubt that hence
,, forth Russia will be ruled in the man
ner of Great Britain. The fact that
| Michael Rodzianko, the president Of
the duma, is the head of the execu-
tive committee responsible for the rev.
olution means that Russia is to have
a fully constitutional form Of govern
ment, with ministry responsible to
the duma.

"HE long drawn out contest be-
tween the Russian democracy
and autocracy has now ended
dramatically in the complete
triumph of the former. The citadel of
reactionism on earth is no more. No
greater triumph for the cause Of civil
cation and freedom has been registered
in history since the French revolution,
writes Isaac Don Levine in the New
York Tribune. -.-' .-a
The incalculable consequences of
this epochal event became apparent
only from review of the causes and
forces responsible for it. The Russian
revolution is entirely product Of the
war. Had there been no war, had
Russia not been allied with the great
democracies Of Europe czarism would
still be rampant today in the great
Slavic empire.

change in the Russian government are

Corruption Is Revealed.

The Russian government was unable
to meet the enormous demands made
upon it by the struggle without the
dumas cooperation. And when the
conservative but honest duma ap-
preached the government closely for
the purpose Of co-operat ting in the pros
ecution- of the war it discovered the
understandable corruption, ignorance, in
competence and disorder dominating
the whole governmental plant.
The same thing happened in the
army, the zemstvos and other public
bodies that came in close contact with
the government in connection with the
business Of the war. The appalling
conditions prevailing in the official Or
ganism opened the eyes even of the
most conservative and loyal citizens.
Men who were the stanchest support
ers Of czarism turned in a short time
into radicals. High army officers, hon.

VALUATION
WAS RAISED 1925

The Herington Times says the
new assessment of that town cost
more than the added property
found. Claiming that the real estate
assessment of year ago last spring
was unfair, inequitable and too
low. the city council shortly before
ii gave way to the commission, ap-
pointed a special committee to re-
assess the town. These special as
SCISSORS completed their work a few
weeks ago In 1916, when the
regular real estate was taken it
fixed the valuation at $1,230,260.
This year they found $14,750 more
in Improvements, making the total
$1,245,O1O.
The special assessors found the
valuation to be $1,25S,735, or an
increase of $S725. Herington's tax
rate is $24S on the 500 valuation
