Mental Effects Of Internment

dtrceI Cohe-, IN The Lordon Outlook
A fellow prisoner once dilsted to me upon
the spiritualizing influence OF internment
but he WAS man who always cast his eyes
upward to heaven and overlooked what was
taking place on earth. Ny own experience is
that a prison camp is a poor nursery for
morals. that some of the previously piou'
may leave their faith behind them. and that
the psychical effects cannot be shaken of for
months. During the first few weeks Of lib
erty ! had an uncomfortable feeling that
was being watched and followed feeling
that all other returned prisoners with whom
| have spoken have had, and even now | am
still haunted by dreams that transport me
back TO Ruhleben, where guards and pris
oners mock at the discontinue Of my return

For Country or President?
tor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: have just read letter in your paper
advocating our standing by the President
in his recent peace note and signed Will
Jams c. Fox. As al American who loves her
country and has been proud Of it, I wish TO
ask: Is it our President or our country
that We are TO stand by? Are we to allow
ourselves again 10 be tcrrorized by Ger
man threats and tamely 10 what they wish
US to?
Since we have kept out OF this war since
the very beginning and allowed things to 60
on which We might at least have raised our
voice against, it is 10 time now for our
unwelcome interference.

suate Of the University of California in
1908. has been selected to head the de-
partment Of business administration
which was organized last year under
the supervision of Mr.. LeDeuc who re-
signed to take a position In the Uni

fornia and later obtained broad and
practical business experience as state

bank department. During the last two
years he has been a member of the

poets DIR. Beckwith to meet the re-

every way.
The three instructors in the English

coming year are DR.. Dudley Griffith,

ter Of arts degrees from the same in
stitution. .. ..-
An increase in the teaching force Of
the English department was made nee
essary by the expectation of an un-
usually large freshman class this year

Governor Needham was president Of
the senate and lent his support to the
measure.
In his message to the legislature on
the opening day Of the session, Gov
ernor Kirkwood said:
The theory Of our government Is that
the people rule. This theory can be
carried into practical effect only thru
the ballot box. 80 A very large num-
Der Of electors Of the state are in the
army. Under existing laws these
citizens can not vote. ~ Therefore,
l recommend that all members of Iowa
regiments who are entitled to vote at
home be allowed to vote wherever they
may be stationed"
The bill as finally passed by both
houses and signed by the governor
reads in part:
BE it enacted by the general as
sembly Of the state of Iowa that :
every volunteer or soldier in the mill
tary service Of this state or the United
States shall be entitled to vote
at all elections as provided in this act
in the manner herein prescribed.
AT the elections herein provided for,
poll shall be opened at every place
whether within or without the state.
where regiment, battalion, battery or
company Of Iowa soldiers may be
found or stationed, and at such cleo
tons all persons may vote who are
entitled thereto by law and by the pro-
visions of this act"
The law was then worded to provide
for the choice of election officials
among the soldiers, the judge to be
elected by the soldiers and the clerks
appointed by the judges. The law con-
tinues:
For the purpose Of carrying out
this act, 1t is hereby made the duty
Of the state census board to appoint
and commission under the seal of the
state Of Iowa, one commissioner, hav-
ing the qualifications of an elector OF
the state, to each Of the regiments of
Iowa volunteers in the service OF the
United States or of the state Of Iowa,
and shall apportion the work among
the commissioners"
The commissioners under the act
were to receive 10 cents per mile each
way to and from the regiments to
which they were assigned.
The official title of the bill was AN
act to amend Title Nv Of the Revision
Of 1850, so as to enable qualified voters
in this state in the military service to
vote at certain elections The bill
passed the house and senate Sept. 3,
1852 and was Immediately signed by
the governor, and was made to apply
to the elections "of the second Tues
day Of October, 1862. the general cleo
ton Of 1863 and afterward at other
elections"
The question at issue, according to
Mr.. Sampson, is whether the new cleo
ton laws of the state, providing Tor
registra ton, which is impossible in the
case of the militiamen on the border
invalidates the statute passed IN 1867.
Another question to be settled salu
Mr.. Sampson, lis whether the failure
of the legislature to incorporate the
law of 1852 in the so-called code OF
1897, invalidates the older measure.
The code of 1897 is supposed to con-
tain all the laws Of the state, and what
we have to decide is whether a law not
included in the code still may be called
into action in q. ruling on the status OF
electors in the national guard.
The decision is$expected to be avail
