WAITING THE RESULT.
Spanish Peace Commissioners Hope FOR
Democratic Success to Give Them
"Better Terms.~

Spanish Peace Commissioners Hope For
Democratic Success to Give Them
"Better Terms"
Readers Of newspapers have noticed
within the last few days the tenor Of the
dispatches from Paris concerning tho
meetings of the peace commission.
These dispatches have been made up
largely from editorials in the Paris
newspapers, which express the opinion
of careful observers who are on the
ground. Only last week, in one of
these dispatches, it was stated that the
main reason why the commission repre-
scnting the kingdom Of Spain is fl Ii.
ing for delay, is that the real matters to
be settled by the commission may not
be reached until after the election in the
United States. The leading newspaper
in the city of Paris explains the situa-
ton correctly when it says that the
Spaniards realize that there may posi-
bly, be advantage to them in the result
of the election. If, as this paper OK
presses it, the elections show 'lack of
confidence in the administration the
Spaniards hope to get "better terms. !"
This is what the Republicans of Iowa
have contended all along. They have
said time and again since the
campaign opened that the election of a
Democratic congress would be a stroke
in favor of Spain. They knew this was
true, but they hardly expected con-
firmation SO soon from Spanish sources.
1t is not only true that q Democratic
congress would be taken as an express
sion of lack of confidence in the admin
istration, but any material decrease in
the present Republican majority in the
house, even though not sufficient to give
the opposition control, would be claimed
by the Spanish and pro-Spanish nations
of Europe as an evidence that the PEG.
pie OF the United States do not endorse
the administration in its demands upon
Spain in the settlement of the war
Every voter in Iowa should remember
these facts when they go to the polls on
the Sth of November. They should ask
themselves the question whether as
patriots and as good citizens they dare
to give our country's enemies the aid
and comfort of vote of lack of conf.
dence in the administration. This is
All important question; 1t is one on which
vital interest depends. 1t is one with
which the prosperity and future glory
of this country is closely connected.
The election this year is vast in its i'm
portance, and probably never befora
were the duties Of citizenship SO sacred
as now. Remember these things, ana
remember that a vote for Democrat

will be out $3.50 ut the least calcuIa-
ton owing TO his implicit faith in the
honesty of tho soldiery OF Iowa. The
loss came about in tins way: When
the Fifty.second and Fiftieth rcgl-
ments received their furlough> num-
Der of men were stationed in Camp
Mckinley to protect the property and
watch over the camp They were
without funds, and the governor, be-
licving it would be an act that would
be appreciated, placed in the adiutant
generals office the sum of $500 to be
loaned to the men in small sums TOR
immediate needs and they in turn to
agree to pay it back when they got
their pay from the government. Each
man was asked to sign a promise to
nav when he received his money.
When the men were paid the notes
were placed in the hands Of the officers
for collection. The notes were pre-
sented and in not to exceed forty per
cent of the cases were paid. Several
of the notes to whom notes were pre-
sented declared that they were rank
forgery and it was evident that such
was the case when the handwriting
was compared. There was one com
pany the members of which had been
loaned So and every one of the men
refused to pay. According to the
adjutant general the loss Of the gov
ernor will be more than $50 unless
the men step up and pay-and he
believes that the governor will be
lucky if he gets 80 per cent OF his
money back.

CAREFUL students of politics arc begin
ming to be alarmed at the growing tend
ency to carelessness on the part OF the
people in regard to the exercise OF the
power granted them by the constitution:
that power, the right use of which, IS
necessary to the life of republic. This
power is expressed by the ballot and
the great danger which careful students
Of government fear lies i'll the apparent
disregard of this power, as shown by the
large percentage of people who neglect
to use their right to vote.
If danger threatens the life of this
nation; if, in fact, republic is not des
tined to be stable form of government,
the trouble lies in this very disregard of
the primal duty of citizenship. Take
the census of Iowa for example, and it
shows that from 10 to 30 per cent Of the
voters Of the state, comparing the poll
lists of the election with the census re-
turns, do not care enough for their rights
and duties as citizens of Iowa to record
their wishes by their votes at tho polls.
Now, there is no question but that if
some foreign power, or some conspiracy
at home, should threaten the ballot, every
citizen of Iowa would protest against
it to the extent of Offering their lives, if
necessary, in protection Of this right
Then, too, if it were proposed to re.
strict the ballot, so that 10 per cent, OF
per cent, or l per cent even, of the
voters of the state should be cut off from
this privilege, what q protest would go
forth. And yet, with an unrestricted
ballot, large per cent fails at every
election to avail themselves Of the priv
ilege. This should not be so. This
growing laxity of public spirit, of patri.
otto principle, to speak strongly, is
menace to the republic and its greatest
danger.
These observations are general and
apply to any election. This year, how
ever, the reasons why no one should
fail to vote are stronger, more pertinent
if possible, than ever before in the his
tory Of the United States. The vital
questions and problems so fraught with
interest for the present and future CT
our country, which must be settled by
this administration, demand that moth.
ing prevent or in in any way hinder
their speedy and right conclusion. To
this end the appeal goes forth to all
patriotic people to vote to sustain the
administration, and not to vote to en-
baryass the conclusion of work so glo.
ciously carried forward to its climax.

was the first witness to testify. From
June Z to July II, DR.. Schooler was sta

geon OF the Second division, Third
corps. Questioned by DR.. Conner, he
said that during the time he was there
the sanitary condition in the hospitals
was not very good; that the sinks in the
whole division were bad, owing prin-
cipally to the character of the ground,
and the discipline was rather lax.
Said DR.. Schoolor: There were
practically no facilities for the care Of
the sick: we were short of medicines
and had no apparatus. by which the
stewards could prepare the medicines
that We had. The regimental hospitals.

poorly supplied with medicines as
the division hospitals. Requisitions
were made for them but they were gen.
orally disapproved at the camp head
quarters. The supply department had
certain hours for issuing supplies and
at other times nothing could be OBJ
tained. There was scarcity of beds in
the hospitals. At one time half the
nursing force were sick or in the guard
house for insubordination.

made by somebody that better or more
nurses be sent to that place.
