HEARD FAMOUS
DEBATES OF So
j. 3. MAxoN OF OTTUMWA, PRES.
SENT AT LINcoLk-DoUGLAs
CAMPAIGN MEETINGS.
DRUMMER IN BAND.
Member of keWanee Musical Organ.
ization When Debate Took Place
In Galesburg, IIi.-Here
Since 1882.

Recollections Of the Lincoln-Douglas
debates and the campaign of 1858 are
still vivid in the mind Of J. B. Maxon,
1875 East Fifth street, who says that
he can see the principals in those
debates as clearly today as If it were
Yesterday that they took place. Mr..
MaXon. who has lead retired life dur.
ing recent years, was division superin-
tendent of the c., B. Il @. railroad dur
ing the eighties and held that post
during the strike of 1888. He came
to Ottumwa six years prior to that
time. "@
Drummer With Band.
When asked relative to the hearing
Of the famous Lincoln-Douglas de-
bates, Mr. Maxon grew reminiscent.
He said he was a member of band
in the town of Kewanee. 1T was my
fortune or misfortune" said he, ito
belong to the band in Kewanee during
the year Of 1858, and I played the
drum. It was while playing in the
band that heard the debate at Gales
burg, ILL.,, during the fall Of that year
between Abraham Lincoln and Steph-
en- A. Douglas. The debate took place
in a park or in the open which is now
part Of the built up section of Gales
burg, and was attended by thousands
There is one thing l remember most
distinctly about these two wonderful
men. and that Is upon the close of the
debate they walked with locked arms
to their waiting carriages and evinced
the warmest personal regard for the
other. I heard them more than once
during the campaign and was present
at Toulon and Sheffield when they de-
bated, but was not with the band at
the time. 1 still find much pleasure IN
reading the debates Of Lincoln and
Douglas
Spoke In Store Room.
"The first speaker would be assigned
an hour to speak. The second
speaker would take an hour and
half, and then the first man would take
making in all three hours of perfect
entertainment and enlighten1ng pas
time. The last time that I heard
Stephen A. Douglas was from the
balcony of the Sherman house in Chi
cago during that memorable CAM
paign. I can readily call to mind my
last view of Lincoln. He came to my
home town, Kewanee and spoke In
a vacant store room, standing on a
counter.
1.-THE subject, but then the public is
familiar with that, was largely the
slave question, the Missouri compro.
mise and the extension Of slave terri
tory into Kansas, I have thought that
Stephen A. Douglas should have sue
ceeded Abraham Lincoln as president,
for. although they were apart on the
most vital questions at that time,
Douglas saw that Lincoln had done
all that he could for the south, and he
knew that slavery had to go and stood
by Lincoln. Yes, yes, I can call to
mind the incidents of that campaign
as If it were but yesterday"

(trusts( were dissolved. The rest are
pending. If space did not forbid, l
would discuss this phase OF the ques-
ton further, together with sections Z
and of the Sherman antitrust law.
I should like any socialist to defend
the three planks in the socialist state
platform Of 1910 which mentioned in
my last article.
In conclusion T will state that In
does not attack co-opera-
ton or organization, but rather fosters
and protects 1t by encouraging the In
dividuals to rise who have brain power
enough to direct and lead and the best
leaders rise from the poor. A mans
life should be progress and not
station" Did you ever meet man
who could honestly say he never had
an opportunity? What is the cause or
his failure, or non-success? You claim
it Is because of his environment. /
claim it is because of his inability to
grasp his opportunities. A man VINO
holds a position Of trust and protft 1s
one who was ready when the oppor-
tunity came. What was the cause or
Lincoln's success. In his youth ne
said, "I will study and get ready, and
maybe my chance will come" "You
can't keep a good man down. He
will be bigger than his environment
and therefore conquer it. His life will
conform with Emersons idea of life.
"A life should not be an apology, but
a life"
Very respectfully.
