ROAD GETS
THROUGH HOUSE
BY A VOTE OF NEARLY FOUR TO ONE
AFTER FIERCE OPPOSITION --OREGON
HASBOTH SCENERY AND PUBLIC SPIRIT

The house considered the Crater
Lake road bill, carrying 800, 900 and
was discussed in committee Of the
whole. Dimlck opposed the bill ae
an entering wedge TO a very bad
system. Malone expatiated upon the
wonderful scenery of Oregon as n
valuable asset OF this state. Nc
Donald said he favored all approprla-
tions for the upbuilding and devel-
opment of the state.
II was bill TO make available one
OF the greatest natural resources OF
the State. Macarthur, Brooke and
Purdin spoke for the bill Beyant
attacked the land grants for wagon
roads and the railroads. This fight
for a wagon road to Crater Lake
was a movement to give 100000 to
help turn business over to the South
ern Pacific. They would get 81 out
OF $5 OF every dollar brought to Ore
gon by opening Crater Lake.
Mckinney said the charges that
this bill would benefit Hartman. ho-
tel keepers and livery and automobile
men. II could not do that without
bringing large numbers OF people to
Oregon and that would benefit the
whole state. Az for new precedent,
he would leave II 20 lawyers TO be
guided by ancient and mouldy prece-
dents. IL was advertising this state
and that was aimed at, and II was
advertising Oregon needed-let us
get into the class OF scenic attractions
before the whole world.
hcCue euloglzed the natural scenic !,
attractions OF Oregon. Dimick asked:
May I ask the gentleman ques-
tion3" Campbell said mo" (Gen-
eral laughter,) Later Dimick asked
what he meant by the United States
recognizing this Crater Lake road.

Reynolds thought this bill was a

This. however, was but a small part
Of the effect Of the Lincoln-D Douglas
debate. Out of the contest three
things stand with great clearness. The
first and greatest is the fact that
Douglas was the one who INDUCED in
personalities and trivialities Lincoln
held to principles. Douglas was shifty;
Lincoln logical. honest and straight
forward. Douglas even went to the
length of misquoting public documents
in the effort to worst his opponent,
one glaring instance calling down Oh
him the criticism of press and public
Lincoln was eminently fair through
out All Douglas fame, brilliancy,
charm and versatility could not over
come the sledge hammer reasoning,
plain dealing and transparent candor
OF his opponent In these debates Lin.
coin did not resort to jokes. He was
serious. On the other hand; he never
lost his temper. which could not be
said Of Judge Douglas. The impress
sion left by Abraham Lincoln in that
great oratorical battle was that of a
high minded American gentleman. Be
side this homespun backwoodsman
Douglas, with all his culture, per-
suasiveness and elegance, suffered In
comparison. The frontiersman was
his superior not only in honesty and
reasoning power. but even In gentility.

The second great thing that shone
out of the contest did not occur during
the debate, but earlier 1t was the ia
nous "house divided against itself" ut
terance Of Lincoln made at the very
opening of the struggle. Against the
use of this sentence his friends pro-
tested, telling him that it would lose
him the senatorship. AS SO many
times afterward, Lincoln proved that
on questions Of conscience and prin-
ciple he decided for himself. The
statement, while bold and radical, was
not only right, but in the highest sense
was polite. Doubtless it did help to
lose Lincoln the senatorship. If so, it
helped to gain him the presidency. It
stirred the nation, focused the atten-
tion Of the north upon him and blank
eted Seward
Abraham Lincoln was politician,
and consummate politician at that
But he worked not with machines or
tricks, but with principles. He had a
long look ahead. He was ambitious,
but in a large way. He played for the
biggest stake.
The third notable thing in the ia
nous debate was the question pro-
pounded by Lincoln at Freeport. Again
his friends protested that it would
lose him the senatorship. Again Mr..
Lincoln overruled their objections and
used his own head and his own con-
science.
The question was, "Can the people
of a United States territory in any
lawful way, against the wish Of any
citizen Of the United States, exclude
slavery from its limits prior to the
formation of state constitutions"
Mr.. Lincoln reasoned within himself
that Judge Douglas famous popular
sovereignty" was interpreted one way
in the north and another way in the
south. By bringing the "Little Giant
to cases he would dispel the mist, get
rid of the vagueness and show the
people of all sections exactly where
Douglas stood. If that gentleman an
swered no to the question. his Illinois

constituents would quit him. II yes.
the south would repudiate him.
The upshot proved Lincoln right
Douglas answer was artful, but in eff
feet was in the affirmative. And, just
as Lincoln's friends had feared, it was
received with loud acclaim throughout
Illinois. 1t clinched Douglas victory
for the senate. But the storm of pro-
test from the south grew until this
very Freeport question and Judge
Douglas answer thereto led to the split
in the Democratic national convention,
caused the placing of another ticket in
the field and made impossible Douglas
election to the presidency.
In 1858, when Lincoln's friends ex-
postulated with him over throwing
away the senatorship in this fashion,
he retorted: 81 am after larger game.
The battle Of 1860 is worth hundred
Of this
After the election of 1860 Lincoln
asked Joseph Medill If he remembered
the argument the two had had over
the Freeport question On receiving
an affirmative answer, he continued:
Don't you think was right now?"

veteran journalist THE question hurt
