Of the revolution will have faded. The
Cadets are a "power in waiting,' but
they are, at the same time, the most
certain candidates for prolonged gov
ernment in Russia.
The entire history Of the party lies
before it,
The immediate power in Russia will
pass to a moderate Socialist combina-
ton. 1t is of no Importance whether
1t be a coalition party, combining
a few socialistc shades, whether the
Cadets are invited or not to share the
relns Of government, or if it is only
one group when will shoulder the
responsibility of standing at the helm
of Russia whatever happens, tho chief
part will belong to that element which
has been christened "populists," es-
pecially of that section of it which is
in close touch with the villages and
the masses.
Zemstvos' Workers
Third Element"
Since the SOS of the last century
there. has been an element in Russia
called the third element" The peas
ant, liberated from serfdom by Alex
andcr II, and at the same time sepa
rated from his landlord. upon whom
rested the care of his physical and spir-
itual needs, found himself in need of
intelligent guidance, III need of teach
ers. doctors. midwives and so on.
The local self government, or zenst-
vo. instituted by Alexander II, and
composed of picked people, also found
itself in need of intelligent hired la
Dor, sucn as statistcians, architects,
agriculturists and so on. Thoreupon
q new intellectual torce made itself
apparent in the villages, not of local
origin, nor working according to choice,
but employed on salary bass-a
force that belonged to the whole Of
Russia.
This is the so-called third element. y
hired by the community, bringing new
ideals TO the villages which were not
local in character. but allRussian. 1t
became the chief dissemination of
higher thought among the ignorant
peasants, but recently freed from serf-
dom.
This "third element" was the most
vindictive enemy Of the landlord, of
the master, and as it was hired by So
ciety ard not by the government it
stood as the riving condemnation of
bureaucracy and IFS fai.ings.
The first Socialist party in Russia
was populist, and its chief support was
deprived from the Zemstvo doctors,
teachers, midwives, statisticians and
other representatives of the "third ele-
ment." 1t was they who revolutionized
the village.
New-York tribune., 1918-03-12
Rise OF Social
CerTCCra.

The Social Democrats subsequently,
rose from among these populist par
tics, when indus trial and intellectual
life found start in the towns. The
Social Democrats are even now far re
moved from the village. The Bolsheviki
tried TO approach them for purposes Of
revolution by promising the peasants
free land. But it is not long since
Trotzky's declaration that the only
hope lies in the town workman, be-
cause the peasant belongs to the small
bourgeois class, in whom the feeling Of
possession IS strong, and. consequently
support The Social Democrats Men
aheviki are still Of that opinion, and it
IS owing to this that they are so far
removed from The masses and assert
that Russia 10 not ripe for Socialist
since the village is made up of con-
serVativc clements.
The popuiist parties stand closest to
the heart OF the people, especially The
"third element" which lives with the
peasants, loves them and believes in
them. If it is conceded chat statistics
have any meaning in a democratically
constructed country, then these repre-
sentativcs of the peasantry, which
forms the majority OF the population
the next governing power in Russia.
The oopulist wing is divided into
three groups the Socialist Revolution
lists, represented by Kerensky, Savinkov
and Chernoif; the Nationalist Social
lists, represented by Peshekhonof, a
member OF the kercnsHy Cabinet. and
the Laborites, the party OF Anikin and
Aladdin, organized at the time OF the
first Duma.
New-York tribune., 1918-03-12
Chernoff's Party May
Gain Power Soon

The Socialist Revolutonists stand
closest to the MarXians, and, as at the
present time strength is in the hands
OF those who are most socialistic, there
is every chance that Chernof's party
Will come into power in the near fut-
are. Moreover. the first municipal cleo
tions held under the Provisional Gov
ernmcnt gave the power to the Social st
Revolutionlsts In petrograd, Moscow,
Odessa and many other of the Dig
towns. They were also in the majority
during the elections to the Constituent
Assembly, thus proving that theirs is
the true following.
Whether Chernof and his followers
Will he able to retain the power for a
long time is difficult to predict. think
that, as soon as the country settles, the
prcroEativcs Of government in general
viii slip from the hands of the Social
lists. But it is difficult to believe that
ChernoH and his group will be able to
retain their authority for any length
OF time, even during intcrmiss ions of
government.
Amy group whic1 will now take the
power away from the Bolsheviki will
have to take into consideration the lib
cral bourgeois and commercial Gle
ments. This ChcrnoT will not do. In
him, bat recent advocate Of terrorism,
there is a sufficient remnant OF rcvolu-
,ionary gall TO make it impossible for
him to stand side by side with groups
that do not represent the prolctariat.
He lacks that tolerance toward the
bourgeois liberals that the Menshiviki
possess, for they hope to attain free
dom and even socialism with the help
of the Liberals.

SAW SMALL CHANCE TO SAVE
Enlisted Man Evidently Had the
Spending Instinct Developed to
Remarkable Degree.

Difficulties of soldiers who formerly
were successful business men, In pay
ing last years income tax on this
years pay are illustrated by a story
brought to Washington by an officer
serving at one of the southern canton
ments.
Last February, the officer said, he
explained to the men of his command
that all married men would have to
pay tax, on all their last years earn
ings over $1,000, while unmarried men
would have to pay on all incomes over
81 900.
Coming to him later one of the men,
private, said:
81 guess | won't be able to pay that
income tax. l haven't any money"
"Oh, that's all right" replied the
officer, ''you have until June to pay
it and you can save it out of your pay
by that time"
II am afraid l couldn't" responded
the private, 81 made $4,000 last year
and blew it all when was called In,
to the army" -

SCOUTS USE A TREK CART.

Some people insist that a camping
hike isn't the real thing unless the
biker carries his own equipment on his
back. OF course, for the real wilder.
ness outings, where there are neither
roads nor trails, that sort Of thing
is necessary, but 90 out Of every
100 scouts take their outings through
country where 1t will be easy to pull
trek cart. And the exercise Of the
trip will be strenuous enough without
adding the burden of pack sack.
AS for getting trek cart, there isn't
troop that couldn't rig one up In
short order and at little expense. A
pair of stout wheels can be obtained
from almost any blacksmith or cooper
shop, and 1t is simple matter to fit
or strong wooden box. Add tongue
with handles or ropes to pull 1t by and
a canvas cover to keep out rain, and
the rig is ready for service.
Carrying space in trek cart is lin.
tied and one will have t. cut out non.
essentials. Campers will need tent
and blankets, a cooking outfit, a first.
aid kit, hand AK, plenty Of extra rope.
a lantern, box of "chuck," tent pegs,
spade for ditching and digging la
trines, and of course, each scouts per-
sonal outfit. This should consist of
toilet articles, materials for mending,
and complete change of clothing.

DRAFT LAW AFFECTS SCOUTS

The change in the draft law so as
to include all men between the ages OF
eighteen and .forty-five will affect
many troops of scouts. 1t behOoves
all, in accordance with the motto, BE
Prepared" to take steps to insure the
continuance Of every troop Of scouts.
This can be done If scout officials
will Immediately give definite atten.
ton to discovering men of character
to serve as scoutmasters and assistant
scoutmasters In the place of those
who will be called to the colors by the
new draft law.
Those who are not clearly within
the requirements of the law are urged
to bear in mind that they have a re-
sponsibility as scout officials to help
maintain as strong leadership as pos
sible for the Boy Scouts Of America
at this critical period in the worlds
history.
Every man who can continue his ac-
tivity should be willing not only to do
as he has before, but also to help in
providing leadership to other troops
or in Strengthening the work Of the
local council in such way as may be
within his power.

HURRY CALL FOR AUNT MARY
Usefulness Of Bread Dough Was
Thing Of the Past.

She was entertaining city friends at
dinner In her country home. Anxious
to have the event as nearly perfect as
possible, she had served dinner to her
small son and his visiting cousin, Bill
~, in the kitchen first and then ban
lshed them to the back yard. But
while she gave apparently undivided
attention to her guests conversation,
she was nevertheless conscious of the
very frequent opening and closing Of
the back door, of boys footsteps, Of
little chickens yeaping and, finally, Of
Billy's distressed face peeping in at
the swinging door. But she did not
remember until too late that she had
carefully covered some bread dough
to rise In the one place In the kitchen
where the heat was just .rlght-on the
little platform under the stove. At
last Billy's head bobbed far enough in
to the room for the company to see
his disturbed look and one guest said:
"Come here, little boy, to see me,
won't you?"
why" said Billy, encouraged. II
jest wanted to tell Aunt Mary that one
little chicken is about to get into her
bread, and another one can hardly get
out"

SCOUTS
II "a
Conducted by National Council of the
Boy Scouts of America.)
MILITARY MEN AND SCOUTS

The constitution Of the Boy Scents
of America reads as follows:
'In carrying out the purpose of the
boy scout movement technical military
training and drill shall not be includ-
ed for the reason that they are not
equal in value or as suitable for boys
Of scout age, in training for good citi-
zenship, as the program Of scout ac-
tivities."
This reflects the attitude Of the
founder of the Boy Scout association
of England as well as those who have
promoted genuine scouting in the
United States of America. This pol
icy has the unqualified support Of both
military and educational authorities
here and abroad. There has been no
request from military authorities or 9TH
ers holding positions Of responsibility
for the training of the youth Of our
country to make any change in the
program or policy of the Boy Scouts
of America, and no change Is contem-
plated.
The official scout handbooks have
since the publication of the first edi.
tons contained what Is believed to be
the basis for adequate instruction for
the drilling and handling Of troops Of
boy scouts. The purpose of the drill
prescribed is to give unity Of action.
discipline, proper posture, as well as
to facilitate the handling Of scouts In
groups.
