SOLDIER PSYCHOLOGY.
Alienists Are Studying Mental COndi-
lions OF Army Prisoners,

Washington. Dec. 5.-The army medical
officers who, in tho capacity of alienists
are conducting a series of investigations
among the 'disciplinarios'' at the military
prison at Fort Leavenworth. Kan, have
obtained valuable information concern
ing the effect of discipline upon Individual
mentality. OF course. 1t is recognized
culpable action and the mental state of
an offender. That carries the problem of
military discipline into the realms of
psychology and furnishes an explanation
of. If it does not provide an excuse for.
those who disobey in various degrees of
infractio1 from minor misdemeanor to
desertion and worse.
In an interview with the State Journal
correspondent q prominent official of the
war department said:
I'm the new system Of treatment Of
military prisoners by training In dis
ciplinary companies with a view to resto-
the results of the mental inquiries now
being made at Fort Leavenworth, and
thes developments OF the inquiry may go
far to show that It Is not worth while at
tempting to restore men to the colors II
the percentage of incapables Is excessive.
Moreover. out of the inquiry may come
a revision in the method of accepting
recruits <or the military service
1t already has been intinated by the
experts that q large proportion of those
of mental characteristics rendering them
at the time OF enlistment. with q view to
reducing materially the number of those
recruits that constitute a disturbing ele-
Ment among the enlisted force even when
they are not directly the proper subject
, of disciplinary measures.

handkerchief" She has seen the sacred
vessels profaned in a thousand ways She
describes meeting seven nuns who had
been outraged, whom she directed to
maternity house, and who had abandoned
themselves to utter despair, saying that
they were already damned and abandoned
by God and they cursed the hour of their
religious profession. She describes how
she escaped from Quaretaro with nuns
who had been obliged to hide in private
the barracks by the soldiers. She de-
scribes how she had daily to beg the food
necessary to sustain the -twenty-four SIS
tiers with whom she escaped.
A Dreadful and Pathetic Question.
In Chicago 1 saw q French priest. Fa-
Their Dominic Fourier, Of the Congrega-
ton Of the Passion. who had just escaped
from Mexico with two young Spanish
capped from the City of Toluca with moth
ing whatever. not even q Rosary. He and
the two novices described to me their
religious houses were sacked and con-
fiscated and the soldiers and their women
INDUCED in orgies before and around the
affairs. One OF the lay brothers named
Mariana Gonzales tried to save some Of
the things from tho church. The revolu-
tionfsts seized him and accused him OF
robbing the state. He was shot by a file
body was left all day long in the court
in which Father Fourier and the other
Priests and the two novices who spoke to
mo and their associates were confined
They were kept in prison sixteen days
and then allowed to go with nothing but
what they had o..
have seen the original Of and have in
my possession q translation of a letter
written on October "a by a young girl of
Toluca to her pastor who had been exiled.
The dreadful and pathetic part of the
letter is contained in the following SEN
tence: ''Now I will ask you a question.
Suppose some one falls into the power Of
the Zapatistas. Would 1t be better for
her to take her own life rather than al
low them to do their will and what they
are accustomed to do? AS I never thought
such a thing could happen, 1 did not ask
you before about 1t, but now see it quite
possible II we had not our good God in
whom we trust. I think we would give
way to despair"
In other words, this girl who had been
engaged in charitable work in connection
with the church, asks her pastor whether
she IL permitted to commit suicide in or
der to avoid the OutrageS to which SO
many hundreds Of Mexican women, SO
in the last few months.
Many of the affidavits before me recite
tortures dreadful that am unwilling
to put them in print.
The one feature in the events narrated
to me and set forth in the affidavits to
me which can give any American the
least satisfaction is the statement OF the
kindness with which the unfortunate
refugees had been treated in Vera Cruz by
the officers and men of the army and
navy, particular mention being made of

TELLS WHERE he STANDS.

An open letter to the Democratic vot-
ers OF Idaho county:
Every Democrat who opposes county
division should vote for the Republican
legislative nominees nj the coming cleo
ton. The county divisionists masquer-
aiding as Democrats stand for the divi-
sion of Idaho county into three coun-
ties The Republican Legislative candi-
dates oppose county division at this
time. believing It to be premature
| intend to vote for Edward :. Sweet,
Henry Meyer and Abe Harchelrode, the
Republican legislative candidates and
urge my fellow democrats in each pre-
cinct to do the same. The division can
didates (masquerading as Democrats)
were nominated by Kooskia Republicans.
and | do not take my politics from such
a source.
Much more important matters than
county division press for solution In
the next legislature. The senatorial cleo
tions have been eliminated by U. s.
constitutional amendment, so that there
is no longer any political issues in
VOWED in voting for members of the
legislature. Our solons are therefore
at liberty to devote the entire time OF
the session to matters affecting the
material and moral welfare of the state
at large. The establishment of a sys-
tenn of state highways. particularly the
north and south road; legislation t.
work the convicts upon the state roads
| revision of the revenue and tax laws
| radical reform OF the financial admin
istration of state government; the dis
position and control of the state tim
Der and the state lands; the abolition
| of many useless and expensive commits
sions; these are real matters of vita
| Importance to every citizen of TIN
state. 1t is therefore inadvisable, from
the standpoint of public interest and tn
self interest of every taxpayer not onl,
in Idaho county, but throughout tn
the state, to sidetrack all local issues
in order that the legislature may con
centrate its attention to the great mat
tiers outlined above, which are of rea
public interest, and therefore urge up
on Democrats all over the county t
vote for the three Republican legisla
tive candidates.
Legislature it will be for the one objeC
of county division, and all of their et
forts will be devoted TO that issue; an
all matters OF real interest to Idah
county will be sacrificed or neglected.

KNOWING COUNTS.

Men who know and know that they
know are the men who count in their
line-it may be hog raising or airship
raising.
We are living in a fast, changing, in
ventive and intensive age We are
learning daily how to conserve time and
life force, thereby living more and liv-
ing longer. Those who get the most
out of life are those who put the most
into what they do. Just as the Frenc h
intensive gardeners can grow on a
city lot what some farmers grow on
an acre of land. Some delicate and
weak people accomplish much more in
life than those ten times stronger. The
more we learn Of conserving our life
force and focusing 1t in useful service
properly applied, the sooner we will
learn the laws underlying most truly
successful lives. And truly successful
lives are those living in harmony with
self and environment. One having head
aches, dizziness. weak, painful eyes and
nervousness cannot be in harmony with
themselves or environment. The chief
cause OF these symptoms are eye de-
fects and should be carefully attended
to and corrected as early as possible
so as to be free and normal In feelings.

defects see DIR. JACKSON, the Eyesight

AN APPEAL TO WOMEN.

To the women voters of Idaho county,
who are not working for county divi-
sion
1t seems that only in this way can
we address the women to whom we
wish to appeal. 1t appears, that in re-
gard to county division. our women fall
into three classes: The goodly number
who are working enthusiastically to aid
in dividing the county. the very small
number who are working against II.
and the many who are apparently exert
ing no influence whatever.
1t is to this last named class that we
wish to appeal.
We refuse to believe that any woman.
living within the remnants of country
which the proposed new counties have
generously consented to leave TO old
Idaho county, can be really Indifferent
to this matter. We rather choose to
| think that it is merely force of pro-
| longed habit, rather than any form of
| disloyalty that causes a woman to ex-
cLse herself from voting by stating the
| mere fact that she has never voted and
disikes to begin. Women, let us be
reminded that almost inevitably neces-
sity has been the cause of change of
| habits and customs among people. At
| the present time necessity is surely
pressing us, and pressing hard. Now
is the time for US to help. 1t is not
| often that men really feel that they
need us in matters of this kind. but
| just now we are able to do a great deal
Our votes are of value. They are badly
needed. Are we going to give them?
Men of Idaho have been more gener-
Gus than those Of many other states in
readily conceding to women the right
to vote, and while we may not care
to enlist ourselves in politics, surely
we should be glad to respond now t.
the need of our vicinity, and use oul
vote to assist our husbands and father:
and brothers in fighting for the bes
interests of the homes they have pro
vided for us. 1t is not a question o
politics or party. 1t is a question o
the best interests of our homes, ou
schools and our business. When W.
home-makers pause to think, we will
surely consider, whether with the pres
ent already unusual high cost of living
we can afford the additional pull OF
the pocketbook which would be the in
evitable result of the greater tax of {
divided county. Can we afford it
women? If not, let us help to aver
it. If we do not understand how, lie
us inform ourselves how to vote t.
avoid this condition, and then lie
nothing prevent us from casting ou
vote. Remember that every woman
vote as we'll as every mans must b,
cast If we hope to defeat this undesir
able issue. The-men will vote from
habit. The doubtful ones are thu
women. so it may be said that thu
women really hold the balance in thei
hands. Will we "funk OUT or "mak.
good?'
Way out in the country there is
small, wide awake club of intelligen
women who, with their manifold hom
duties, have found time to discuss thi
division, and convert the voters of the
immediate vicinity. Let us follow the
commendable example of loyalty and in
telligence. Let us, every woman of us
"get busy
