ROYAL 3. Stcarns. OF Stanley county. is
justified in making Il big kick on certain
matter and is going about to make it.
Mr.. StearnS was. until the date of the
late state convention at Madison. secre-
tary of the Republican State league.
While in Madison the ouih it came to his
ears for the first time that there was GO
ing TO be Il delegate meeting Of the league
that day. He. OF course investigates and
found out the place and hour OF holding
the meeting and was on hand to learn the
hall he found II l.. Greene, president Of
the league. with several other men pres
cnt, and he was invited TO take his place
at a table TO act In the capacity OF srcre-
tary. Then Mr.. Greene and the few 9TH
ers present got their heads together and
as result those present, except the Off
.cers were constituted committee. upon
motion. to retire and name list OF per-
manent officers for the ensuing year. 1t
was at this juncture that Mr.. Stearns
arose and protested against the transac-
tions, claiming that they were irregular
from the fact that due notice of the meet
ing had not been given. and that the clubs
of the state were not represented. Never
the less the cooked and dried proceedings
went through. Mr.. Stearns is well jnsti-
fled in asking that such work be aired,
and that for the good of the republican
cause such snap doings be set down on
and new deal mad. Mr.. Greene is also
circulating circular letter to the various
county, state and federal officials all over
South Dakota asking them to send him
one per cent of their salaries to be used in
the furtherance of the objects the state
league has in view. This is done under
Mr.. Stealns' name as secretary Of the
league, but without his knowledge, like q
lot of other work of the same nature
Said circular letter was dated July 8, jus,
before the date of the election held, when
Mr.. Greene did not know possibly, that he
would be reelected. There was another
assessment made last spring of which Mr.
Stearns does not have the particulars, even
to the amount of money turned in. The
FREE PRESS agrees with Mr.. Stearns
that it is time to call s. halt and inquire
the why Of the wherefore Of such actions

THEY sHoor roo Est:
Disadvantages of the German Repeating
Rides.

Disadvantages of the German Repeating
Rifles.
In the recent maneuvers of the
German and Austrian armies it was
found that the troops exhausted their
stock of ammunition within the first
ten minutes after going into action
this, too, Notwithstanding the fact
that they now carry almost double
their former number of cartrides.
They were practically placed hors de
combat and rendered defenseless at
the commencement of the battle, and
had the warefare been real instead of
sham, they would have exposed them
selves to humiliation by the cavalry.
In all the recent wars experience
has shown that one Of the chief diff
t1culties of the officers is to prevent
their men from wasting their ammu-
milton. This is especially the case
where the troops are young and IN
seasoned. In the excitement of the
battle they lose their heads, and not
only fire far to quickly and too reck-
1essly, but frequently also without
taking time to put the gun to their
shoulder for the purpose of taking
aim. This evil is increased ten-fold
by the adoption OF the new repeating
rifle, which permit a man to fire at
least ten times faster than with the
old weapons. Nor is there any rene
dy available for this state Of affairs so
long as the system of shOrt-term SER
vice in use in the armies of the old
world involves their being composed
Of young and unseasOned soldiers.
Another disadvantage of the new
rifles appear to have been found in
the heating OF the barrels caused by
rapid firing. Even with the old
ChassepOt, in the war of 1870, the
French troops were frequently forced
to suspend their fire in the middle of
an action in order to allow time for
their barrels to cool of.
1t is difficult to conceive how the
European governments will solve the
difficulty with which they have now
been brought face to face. That they
should abandon their new and quick
firing rifles on which they have spent
such vast sums of money, ground out
Of the taX-burdened people, seems to
be beyond the bounds OF possibility;
and equally improbable is it that
they will prolong the term Of military
service in order TO allow time for the
troops to become seasoned. The
question is a vital one and demands a
DrOmDt solution
