mortal utterance:
{ "A house divided against itself can
not stand. believe this government

and half free. | do not expect the
Union to be dissolved; do not expect
the house to fall; but | do expect II
will cease to be divided"
After the campaign was under way
and each had made speeches Lincoln
challenged Douglas to a series OF sew
en- public debates in as many con-
gressional districts. Douglas accepted.
AT the second debate. at Freeport, Au-
gust 81, Lincoln put this question to
Douglas:
"Can the people of 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 con-
stitution?"
4 Douglas could not go back on his
popular sovereignty doctrine. He an
! swered. yes" as Lincoln had foreseen
4 he would. Douglas thus denied the
bred Scott decision that slaves were
property and could be taken TO any
| territory. Lincoln's purpose was to
turn the South against Douglas and
! prevent his election to the presidency
| in 1860. He realized that the question
ancl answer would probably cost him
the Senatorship- and was willing to
sacrifice himself
SO. while on its face the contest was
| between Lincoln and Douglas for the
senatorship. 1t was really momentors
struggle between the protagonists of
abolition and slavery, And the whole
! country knew It. The eyes of the ma
ton were on Illinois-on "Old Abe
and 1.-THE Little Giant"
Well. we all know that Lincoln's
question beat him for the senatorship
that the same question split the
/ Democracy In two and elected Lincoln
president over Douglas and Brecken-
ridge. And we all know that Lincoln's
election brought on the Civil war,
| freed the slaves and established a
house no longer divided against itself
/ When Fort Sumter fell Douglas
gave Lincoln his support and declared
to the Northern Democrats:
/ st is the duty we owe to ourselves
and our children and our God to pro-

las. And the story of
Douglas cannot be told without the
story of slavery And in all our history
there is no more fascinating story than
the story Of "Old Abe" THE Little
Giant" and slavery.
Illinois from its beginning was
center of the slavery controversy. II
was the twenty-frst state of Union
hall slave and half free. Congress fixed
its upper boundary farther north than
Boston and its lower boundary farther
south than Richmond. 1t was to he the
eBinder State" in which North and
South might meet and settle the slav-
cry controversy peacefully.
The framing of It's constitution was
a battle over the slavery question, The
so-called compromisists won. The con-
stltutlon prohibited slavery, but pro-
vided for system of indentures which
practically confirmed the black code
previously In force.
Governor Edward Coles In 1922 de-
manded repeal of the black laws and
legislation that would stop the kidnap-
ing OF free negroes. The pro-slavers
met the demand with an attempt 10
substitute constitution making NIL
nois uneompromisingly slave state,
In 1924 Illinois voted against the
proposition. Slavery activities gradual

"Binder State" was sleeping issue

the sleeping issue TO life. He arrived

PLAYERS ASK
 THAT MAYS BE
 KEPT FROM GAME

Boston, Aug. 17-Players of the Detroit and Boston clubs of the American League today prepared to draw up petition asking for the banishment from organized baseball of Carl Mays of the New York Americans whose pitched ball frac- tured the skull of Ray Chapman, Cleveland shortstop in yesterdays s game. Probability that the mem bers of both teams will refuse to play in any game in W hich Mays was the pitcher was expressed by some of the players.
 The Red Sox team held a meeting in the club house yesterday when word was received of Chapman's in jury. It was agreed, according to Outfielder Menoskey, that all would sign a petition to President Johnson to have Mays ruled from the game, if Chapman should die, and that the players would not go to bat against his pitching again. With news of his death the players discussed the carrying out of the plan for a peti- ton.
 Members of the Boston club who were teammates of Mays until the latter deserted the club prior to his sale to New York last year. said they felt certain the Detroit players would join in such action as might be de- cided on.
 Ty Cobb asserted that summary measures should be taken against Mays imm ediately. Oscar Stanage, veteran catcher of the Tigers, said the players had already discussed ac- tion.
 Mays has been a storm center of baseball controversy for years, first because of his close pitching. re- suit of which players frequently com .plained that he had tried to "dust them off, The deal between the Boston and New York clubs, by which he was transferred after he de serted the Red Sox, precipitated a factional fight among club owners and President Johnson which threat ened to disrupt the league.
