ginning of the revolution the peasant
ry were a disconnected mass acting
like river that in the springtime sud-
denly breaks loose, washes down its
banks, tears down houses and causes
destruction wherever it turns.
But the all-Russian congress of
peasants delegates produced a tre-
mendous change. The delegates
brought home to their native villages
the seeds of right and order. The
overfowing river turned into a calm,
but steady and mighty stream, con-
fined to its banks.
The minister called the peasants
congress unique event in Russian
history. 1t was at this congress that
the collective will of the people was
first expressed. The provisional gov
ernment left to the people not only the
solution of the land problem but also
all preliminary work necessary for
such solution.
V. NJ. Chernov said that the village
is the basis of Russia's economic life
When the village is resurrected, and
this is possible only if the land ques-
ton is settled in accordance with the
will of the people, a revival of all the

LINTON LOSES CossACK JOB.
Attorney General Holds Legislator Is
Barred By Law.

Charles 7. Linton, state representa-
tive from Denver, cannot serve as sec
retary of the state constabulary, ac-
cording to an opinion given to Gov
ernor Gunter by Attorney General
Hubbard.
During the special session of the
legislature Linton was one of the Re
publican leaders who led in support of
the bill to create the constabulary, and
since then he has been an active ap-
plicant for the job as secretary. At
present he is doing the duties Of sec
retary as an emergency clerk.
Superintendent Frank Adams of the
constabulary this week will advertise
for bids for equipment and uniforms
for the constabulary. The rifles will
be of carbine style that can be carried
in saddle holsters and the pistols will
be of As caliber, not automatic. A
light colored cloth, similar to the Red
Cross uniform colors, is preferred for
the uniforms by the superintendent.
The constabulary members will wear
leggings. They will wear small
bronze emblems of the seal of the
state on their collars.

With the fall of Riga and the dan
ger threatening Petrograd, Moscow is
being mentioned as the possible capi-
tai of Russia. This ancient city has
always been one of the most important
centers of Russia's political, social and
cultural life.
A. F. Kerensky as leader of Russia,
Moscow as Russia's capital, and the
Russian peasantry as the foundation
of the state and of its future political
and economic development are the
dominant factors in Russia at the
present time. These factors combined
may save, and, we are sure, will save
Russia at this critical moment.
The Russian information bureau
therefore devotes its second bulletin to
the recent visit to Moscow by Keren-
sky and by the secretary of agricul-
ture, V. NJ. Chernov, the recognized
leader of the Russian peasantry. The
president of the Moscow council of
soldiers delegates met Kerensky with

there people sit on the ground, among
filth and vermin. They don't know
during these three years; they have
forgotten what it means to have a
home or see their beloved ones. Can
you condemn them?
do your duty not by words but
by actions! Let every one do his bit.
Is it not enough to live and work in
these times? The future generations
will envy US.
Look at the past, observe how
gradually the will of the people grew;
from individuals dying for the cause
of liberty while the masses looked on
in morbid silence up to the final tre-
mendous upheaval involving the whole
nation. The field of battle grew ever
larger until now it covers the entire
earth. Now duty calls US all to rise
to the occasion. Let every one re-
spond to the noble call to do and die.
Great deeds are always accomplished
as the result of impulse rather than
calculation.
1--WE have enormous resources at our
disposal-the strength of the people,
still undeveloped but increased thru
years of suffering"
Unique in Russian History.
The secretary of agriculture, V. M.
Chernov, was met at the Moscow meet
ing with thunderous applause. The
personal appearance of the minister,
particularly his beautiful gray head,
appealed to the audience,
In the course of his speech, he en-
phasized the significance of the peas
antry making its first appearance, as
an organized body, on the political
stage. He pointed out that in the be-
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-09-22

joicing over all this, we at the same
time realize that our country is living
thru a period of storm and stress, a
period of acute suffering. Comrades,
was there ever a people who secured
their right to liberty without suffer
ing and martyrdom? Every nation
had to wade thru streams of blood
and tears. We shall be happy to die
knowing that we are laying down our
lives for great ideals, for the future
happiness of Russia.
"Think of what we were facing a
few months ago. We saw our country
breaking apart. But that was only
the bursting of the old shell. Who is
capable of thinking that we are living
thru a period of destruction? There
shall be no such people among US!
There are lovers of the sensational
who see and emphasize only the dark
sides of the revolution. But is it not
true that whenever child is born, the
mother suffers? What birth takes
place without pain?
Do Your Duty by Action.
Il was an optimist before the revo-
luton. They called me naive. But
was not my optimism justified? Many
become despondent now. Let those
individuals keep quieti Let them not
insult the people by their gloomy pre-
dictions. AS premier and minister of
war, l have the power to make all
obey the will of the revolutionary
people. The troops will do their duty
towards the revolution and the coun-
try.

anxiously listening to you, the army
trusts you. Your words find a re-
sponse in every heart, spreading en-
thusiasm and faith in the triumph of

Answering this speech, Kerensky
said: 81 am glad to hear these words
from the representatives of the Mos
COW council of soldiers delegates. 1
know that Moscow consummated the
great change without bloodshed. /
am happy that the Moscow garrison
is so successfully organized. Ger
tainly the army is alive. All that until
now has been hindering the army in
its organization has been just a dis
ease from which the army is bound
to recover. The army, organized, will
be the strongest bulwark of the revo-
luton. Long live the revolutionary
army of Russia!"
New Russia to Live On.
Later, addressing an enormous au-
dience in one of the Moscow theaters,
Kerensky said:
Comrades and fellow citizensl We
are all enthusiastic when we are to-
gether. But / know that deep down
in your hearts. in the hearts of many
of you there is fear and doubt. The
enthusiasm springs from the con-
sciousness that new Russia, born in
liberty, will never die; that the strug-
gle with monarchy is ended forever;
that no power on earth can take lib
erty away from the people who have
freed themselves, and nobody can
block the great drive of the creative
forces of a free people. While re-
