The debate that has taken the chief
place in history was that at Freeport.
Here Lincoln propounded his famous
second question regarding the right of
the people of territory to exclude
slavery before the adoption of consti-
tuition. Douglas had asked Lincoln a
number of questions at Ottawa. and
at Freeport, which was the next meet
ing point. Lincoln said he would reply
to his opponents interrogations If
Judge Douglas would answer an equal
s,dInher. When asked directly if he
would accept the terms Douglas re-

would answer his opponents questions

THE PLoW OF GOD.
BY Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

If you listen you will hear, from east
to west,
Growing sounds of discomfort and deep
unrest.
1t is just the progress-driven Pillow of
God,
Tearing up the well-worn, custom.
bounded sod,
Shaping out each old tradition-trodden
track
Into furrows-fertile burrows, rich and
black.
Oh, what harvests they will yield
When they widen to a field!
They will widen, they will broaden,
day by day,
AS the progress-driven pillow keeps on
its way.
1t will riddle all the ancient roads that
Into palaces of selfishness and greed.
1t will tear away the almshouse and
the slum,
That the little homes and garden
plots may come.
Yes, the gardens green and sweet
Shall replace the stony street.
Let the wise man hear the menace
that is blent
In this ever-growing sound of discon-
tent.
Let him hear the rising clamor of the
race
That the few shall yield the many
larger space;
For the crucial hour is coming when
the soil
Must be given to, or taken back, by
Toll.
oh, that mighty Plow of God
Hear it breaking through the sod!

M Say that you love me yet

wish that you
Would say that you never forget
The springs all budding and scent and

The summers poisoning rhine.
The orchard talks and the woodland
walks,
In the golden autumn time
Write me a letter, my dear old friend;
Leave out the years between;
The ways have been rough and thorny
enough
Which 'twixt us intervene.
Sing me a song OF the long ago,
Ere knew the world could cheat,
OF moonlight CLEANS and fond day dreams
That were so divinely sweet
Write me letter. my dear old friend
love you more and more
AS further apart we drift, dear heart
And nearer the other shore
The dear old loves and the dear old days
Are a balm to lifes regret
II is easy to bear the worry and care
II the old friends love US yet.
