Revolution Will Continue.

The history of these two months Is
one of the growth of the revolutionary
spirit as expressed by the council Of
soldiers and workmen's deputies. 1t
was the popularizing of power. 1t
showed that revolution was not a mere
coup detat. the upsetting of a govern
ment, but the steady growth Of revo-
lutionary spirit. The forming of the
coalition government In no way ar
rests this Nothing can arrest 1t. Rus
STA is following the normal course of
all revolutions. 1t is bound to become
more and more revolutionary until the
power rests consciously in the hands
of every one in the country. 1t has not
done that.
1t may continue to be as bloodless as
up to the present. but whether or no. 1t
has moved steadily in that direction
from the start. Another upset of the
government. for instance, however
black 1t might appear for the moment,
would not necessarily prove disastrous.
AS the center Of power shifts more and
more toward the proletariat Ito use
their own eXpression) there are bound
to be governmental changes. Nor does
It necessarily mean the country is 60
ing to ruin.
The shifting of the power toward the
people so far would have had no evil
effects II it had not been for the war,
but on account of the war II has had its
serious sides-for Russia's allies. AS far
as Russia itself is concerned 1t has suf-
fered chiefly DISCRIMINATION. With the
army reorganized and active the outside
evil can be overcome, and internally it
is a question Of shaking down to a
democratic basis.
What l want to indicate here Is that
the revolution is still on its way, and is
bound to continue on its way until it
strikes rock-bottom. The addition of
socialist members to the provisional
government and the RECOMMENDATION Of
power in the coalition provisional gov
eminent show how the power Is shift
ing. 1t is still shifting in the same di-
rection. 1t Is simply question of
whether the government can make the
run to the constitutional assembly
without having to stop and reorganize
again. Just now it looks as II it could

The Fanatical Touch.

But, though the Bulshiviki number
some of the finest brains in Russia.
they all have that fanaticaf touch that
sees only a beautiful end and is going
to get there no matter what lies in be-
tween. They have no time for coali-
tiona1 governments and mere practical
results. So they can be counted upon
to put spokes in the wheels of govern
ment But, though 1t is dangerous to
do any prophesying in this country.
especially as 1 intend sending this by
mail across Siberia and the Pacific, 1
believe it is safe to say that the coali
ton government has united all the

since the revolution, and ought to sue

expected that happens in Russia Who
would have thought three weeks ago
the original provisional government
would be shaken almost to pieces over
some secret treaties with England and
France! But those who did the shak-
ing-those who did all the shaking
are in the government. SO it does not
look as IL there were any one here
strong enough to shake. even though

Confusing Cross-Currents.

The political composition of Russia
is comparatively easy to understand
taken broadly, but there are so many
cross-currents 1t becomes often very
confusing. l shall try only here to
show the main currents. going back
to the days before the revolution, to
show where the currents come from.
The duma gave fairly good pic
ture of political Russia before the
revolution. All the right side was
monarchistic, all the left more or less
revolutionary. The center was occu-
pied by the octoberists, men of the
type of Rodziansko and Shidlovsky,
men now considered extremely con-
servative-the extreme right in the
new lineup.
Whatever lay right of the center
can be neglected now. 1t was con-
fused lot of organizations, every man
his own party, a good many of whom
Joined with the progressive bloc during
the war to get a working majority.
Left of the center there were two
strong parties. the cadets, Miliukoff's
party. and the combination of social
democrats and workmen. Even before
the revolution they were always quar-
reling. because the socialist party was
always trying to force the cadets ahead
faster than they wanted to go.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-07-08
Cadets and Socialists.

With the whole right wiped out by
the revolution. the only existent po-
litical quarrel lay between the cadets
and the socialists, and that went right
on up to the forming of the coalition
government. This was not simply a
party. factional quarrel, but differ
ence Of principles. and is bound to
come up again sooner or later.
For the cadets. who are the progress
sive city men of Russia, are for a DEM
ocratic political Russia. while the So
cialists do not forget for single sec
ond that they want to revolutioniZe
it socially as well and are only now
in the coalition government to keep
the wheels going round while they
work up the country to the point OF
social revolt They have agreed this
social revolt must come about in an
orderly manner in the constitutional
assembly: but Minshiviki or Bulshiviki.
they intend in the end to upset capital
ism. The only difference is in the
means. The Minshiviki are willing to
go slow about it.
In those first fervid days of the revo-
luton those who sprung up as the
leaders of the revolutionary party were
chiefly men bers of the extreme left of
the duma or men who had been candi-
dates for 1t and had been jockeyed out
of their elections by the activities of
the imperial police. The duma cof-
mittee of safety was. on the other hand,
cadet in complexion, with an even more
| conservative strain of octobrists. So
! from the very start there was a strug
gle on for power.
In the Tauride Palace.

Popular Will Was Unstable.
During the last two weeks before the
coalition government was formed the
actual government of Russia, all the
real power, lay in the rather fuctuat-
ing executive committee Of the council
of soldiers and workmens deputies.
The government often expressed itself
as willing to do anything the people of
Russia ask ed of 1t. but there was no
way of telling what the majority want
ed. The council Of soldiers and work.
mems deputies itself could not tell,
simply because popular will was in
such f1uctuating state 1t was OK
traordinary how the government kept
up even a semblance of governing. In
the end it could not even do that.
The difficulty lay in the very nature
of things, The council Of soldiers and
workmen's deputies was being affected
by all sorts of influences. Its own ex-
ecutive committee did not know where
it stood from day to day. When the
coalition question first came up 1t voted
% against. % for. and 1t finally decided
to join the government two days later
by a vote of a. for to 10 against. In
the midst OF this hot period two men,

GARDENS TO PAY BIG
h S. A. c. Professor Urges Everyone
to Raise One This Summer.

Manhattan, Kan, March cit will
pay-and pay weIl-to have a home
garden this year,
half acre of garden crops care
fully tended will easily yield family
SIS to 500 worth of vegetables dur
ing the season, according to NJ. F.
Ahearn. associate professor of horti-
culture in the Kansas State AgricuI-
turaI college.
Besides being an advantage from
a financial point, the kitchen garden
gives a supply of vegetables in a con-
venient place where they may be pro-
cured on short notice" said Professor
Ahearn. The vegeta bIes brought di-
rectly to the table from the garden
are fresh while those brought from
the market have been exposed for
several hours or even days and have
lost their freshness and perhaps their
characteristic odor or taste.
The garden should be located in
close proximity to the house on fer
tile. well drained sandy loan soil. A
good chicken tight fence is indis-
penSabIe where chickens are kept"
The question of arranging the crops
in the garden is largely a matter of
judgment, suggests Professor Ahearn.
The long season crops, however,
should be put together on one side of
the garden and the short season crops
grouped together Where the garden
is to be worked with horse machinery,
plans should be made to give the long
est rows and allow for turning at the
ends If the labor is to be done large
ly by hand the rows may be set closer
together.
Seeds for the garden should be or
dered we'll in advance of the time for
planting. The seed should, of cours :,
be free from weed seed and have a
high percentage of termination Care
should be given in selecting the seed
to obtain the varieties which are
ada pied for growth in a particular
locality.
