Why NOT GIVE RICHARDS
LAW A FAIR TRIAL

1t pleases the Argus Leader to sec
so prominent a progressive as former
Speaker G.. J. Morris finally accept
after ten years, the criticism which
the ,Argus-Leader has made Of the
statewide primary law. Mr.. Morris
takes the chances Of being denounced
as a "reactionary" and comes out for
the short ballot which the Argus
Leader was boosting years ago. In
this he has the endorsement Of the
Sioux Falls Press as definitely Jas the
Press ever endorses anything. The
one conclusion we make from this is
that the present statewide primay law
is not satisfactory to anybody. In this
event, why not give a real trial to the
Richards law, and in the event of its
failure, repeal the whole business and
restore the state and district con-
vention, retaining the primary for
the nomination of county officials and
the selection Of delegates to the con-
yentions p? Sioux Falls Argus-L Leader.

TO REMoHE IRON STAINS;
WHAT is BEST TO USE

The most comomnly used eradicat-
ors are oxalic acid, potassium acid
oxalati Commonly sold in the drug
ttores as salts OF lempn') dilute
;scetic acid in the form of dilute
water-white vinegar, and dilute muri-
attic acid. For the latter, a mixture
of salt and lemon juice may be sub
stituted
Oxalic acid or salts Of lemon should
be dissolved in nine parts of water,
either hot or cold. The muriatic acid
should receive practically the same
dilution, while acetic acid should be
diluted about four times with water,
using soft water in all cases.
In applying, the acid solution
should be warmed and the spot dipped
into it, then removed and rinsed with
soft water, again dipped into the acid
and soaked a few minutes, removed
and rinsed again and so on until the
spot is removed. Then apply a little
diluted ammonia to the acid treated
spot, finally rinsing with water. In
case the spot has been allowed to re-
main for some time it may be neces-
sary to place the oxalic acid or salts
of lemon on the stain and dip it into
warm water, or allow steam to pass
up through the spot for some time
to soften the. stained material and
swell the cloth fibers.
In case the oxalic acid or salts of
lemon remove color as we'll as the
spot, it is well to try a little ammonia
for restoration of the dye, as am
monia will often restore the dye after
the stain has been removed as sug-
gested. In removing iron stains,
make sure that your solvent is safe
to use without removing the dye as
well as the stains. Try the remover
first on q separate piece Of the goods.

A Dry Banquet at
KampeskaI Night

A banquet was served at the Kan1-
peska hotel last evening, at which
about thirty-five or forty covers were
laid, as preliminary step to the or
ganization of the county and the other
counties of the state for the contest
to be waged this summer and fall
for the elimination of the saloon.
S. H. Goepfert presided, acting as
toastmaster and calling for a few inn
promptu speeches following the adj
dresses delivered by Mr.. Holsaple, Of
the Anti-Saloon League, and Mr.. Ir-
win, of Aberdeen, the former dis
cussing the question of prohibition
from a statewide standpoint and Civ
ing brief account of the contemplate
ed organization, and the latter speak
ing more especially from the stand
point of the case in Aberdeen, point
ing out what he conceived to be the
benefits that the city of Aberdeen had
derived from the banishment of the
saloon. Aberdeen, he said, spent
over the saloon bars about $650, 900
during the last year of the saloon,
and much of this, aside from that
which contributed to the direct sup
port of those engaged in it and their
employees, has been saved to the
business and professional men as a
result OF the abolition of the saloon.
There were present from outside of
the city, besides the two speakers
mentioned, the following gentlemen: !:
J.. e. Walseth, Clear Lake; Hon. N.
E. Knight, Thomas; Edison Baxter,
Grover; H. C. Hagen, Florence, and
Mr. Nash, in charge of the financial
department of the campaign.
Those of the local citizens present
who were called upon by the toast
master were the following: John
Noodle, A. Sherin, G. e, Park, +. J.
Cory, l.. j. Ross, and others.
Mr.. Sherin called attention to the
fact as viewed by him, that If the
temperance fight is ever won in South
Dakota or elsewhere it will be be
cause the business and professional
men take hold of it as an economic
problem. and not because of the eff
forts of the church people and the
ministers purely on the ground OF
morals. The church people, he said,
had The votes to make the state or
even the city of WatertoWn dry ii
they would unitedly vote as they pre-
sumnbly pray, but they had failed tn
live up to their opportunities. II
business men, he said, are beginning
to see the question in the proper light
and they will eventually, if they are
not already doing SO, organize te
carry the country dry as business
and financial proposition.
1t is understood that on Saturday
of next week there win be a meeting
in this city to effect the preliminary
organization for the campaign in
Codington county.
Mr.. Nash said that such steps have
already been taken in Brown county
which has already pledged $12,500 fol
the statewide campaign. A fund oi
$125sO00 will be raised to prosecute
the state work, of which Brown coun
ty has given one-tenth.

Russian Army Said
To Be Recuperating


astonishing manner. a man who is
in close touch with military circles
writes from Petrograd as follows:
Cur third army, which consists Of
the Ninth, Tenth, and Thirty.seventh
corps, besides the third Caucasian di-
vision and the second Lewiston Of the
cavalry of the guards is under the
command of General Liose, whose
name was formerly Leonid Guilielmo-
yitch (Williamson, literally translat-
ed9 but who has been given special
permission to change it by the czar.
This Third army suffered dreadful
Iys during the German offensive last
summer. AT the end Of August, one
OF Its divisions, which ought to have
been $4,000 strong, had only 5000
men left and these had only between
200 and 900 rifles.
ssThe army was supplied with rifles
of many patterns, modern Russian,
Austrian, German, Japanese and even
Mexican. Slime Of them were more
than 35 years old.
No regiment possessed more than
two machine guns. Heavy artillery
was lacking altogether. There were
plenty Of field guns but no ammuni-
tion, and abatteries were often allowed
to. fire only two or three shots a day.
{ Russia, however, has now emerged
from this chaos. #
4Eyery company now consists Of
500 men, who are well uniformed and
well armed. To each is attached, be-
sides a squad of experts in bomb
throwing, armed with modern hand
grenades and bayonets. All foreign
rifles have been abolished and all
troops are armed with modern rifles
Of Russian type.
The army is not yet very strong
in heavy artillery, but there are plen.
ty Of machine guns of American make
supposed to be superior to those
used by the Germans.
Ammunition too, is now on hand
in sufficient quantity and many depots
have been built in the rear of the
lines.
The Russians are now also we'll
supplied with apparatus for making
poison gas, which has been repeatedly
used with success on the northern
front.
Russia is increasing the number
OF her units Despite her enormous
losses of men during 20 months of
war. she has created new corps. She
entered the war with So army corps,
but today she has 60--45 in the reg
usar army, two in Tur rksaten, Ave in
Caucasia, four in Siberia, one gren-
adler corps, and two corps of guards.
Two million men, held in reserve
are being trained in the interior of
the country Each infantry division
has been strengthened with an artil-
lery brigade consisting of six batter
les of French seventy-fives, and will
be given in very near future three
batteries Of heavy guns, each of six
guns.
"At the beginning Of the war Rus
sia had no armored motor cars, now
she has an abundance of them. This
new arm has been organized with the
assistance of expert Belgian officers,
who arrived last year at Archangel on
board British transports. 1t is
thought these will prove of excellent
value during the coming offensive in
