The prisoners court is an indepen-

Although petitions for vote on

Especial to The Argus

Camp Dodge. Iowa, Jan. 15.--Do you
remember the old-time ja:lor who af-
fected lantern jaw. hung jingling
keys all over himself, and maintained
discipline with piece Of lead pipe?
He got results, perhaps, but he left
his mark on the prisoners whom he
chaperoned. And surely his charges
bore him no great love, nor did they
waste any effort trying to make life
behind the bars worth while.
At the division guard house, Camp
Dodge, there is no such condition as
this. Simon Legree tactics and the
cracking of blacksnake whips are un-
known. There is no honor system
used, of course. That is not practiced
in the army. But among the prisoners
| themselves there is a system of dis
cipline which is original and unique
1t probably is the only one Of its kind
in any Of the national army training
camps.
There's prisoners court" out al
the cantonment. Its jurisdiction ex'
! tends only over the offenders confined
| in the guard house, but it's methods
are sure and efficient. 1t tries its
cases with dispatch and hands out
sentences with unwavering firmness.
The result is that sanitary condi
tons and discipline in the division
guard house are excellent. And thai
is because the prisoners have it i'm
pressed upon them that it's all fol
their own good.
| Captain J. W. Cogswell, Company G
Three Hundred Thirteenth ammnui
ton train, originated the idea, wheI
he was prison officer several month!
ago. The captain knew that the mel
would take up the idea when the.
saw its effect. So a court of three
members was formed and a sanitar.
inspector chosen. The sanitary in
/ spector was man who had beer
jailed for forging checks, and mem
bers of the court were in for draf
evasion and other misdemeanors. Blu
they performed their duties we'll, evel
though they were legal amateurs.
/ 1t is the duty of the sanitary in
spector to see that the men keep tn
guard house clean, and that they TAX
special care of their persons and tina
sections of the guard house to whicl
they are assigned. Any violation o
this rule is reported to the court ant
the man brought up for trial.
;. The discipline of the men impris
oned also is watched closely and vic
lations punished with sentences mete,
out by the prisoners court. Sentence
are unique, but effective. One man
convicted of slovenliness. was givel
extra work to do, which kept hin
busy from reyeille to taps. All pris
oners have some work to do, of course
but when they do not come up t
standard, their own court hands GU
extra duties. Sometimes the cour
puts the offender into Coventry an
will not talk to him for a state
length of time That is punishment
indeed, when one is shut up in a guar
house. And the men are realizing tina
: the camp prison is their home for
while. at least. and that life is NOR
bearable if they keep the place cleal
and maintain high grade of discip
= line.
