the Penns and the Calyerts sent to England for

ernor Lucas or otherwise indicated allegiance to
Ohio. One OF them was a frontier notable, Maj.
b. f. Stickney, a venerable and wealthy citizen
who had been Indian agent at Fort Wayne, Ind,
during the War of 1872 In order to annoy him
and force him to give bonds for his release thus
acknowledging the jurisdiction OF Michigan they
threw him Into the same cell with dirty, rag
ged old Frenchman who had been imprisoned
for debt. But Stickney outguessed them. He
gave the Frenchman enough money to pay his
debt and thus secured the freedom of the vermin-
infested debtor and gained the sole occupancy
of the cell.
Next the Ohio legislature in special session
appropriated 100000 and authorized its fighting
governor to borrow 100000 more to malntain
Ohios jurisdiction over the Lake Erie strip. The
Ohio adjutant general reported to Lucas that
10000 militia were ready to march and drive the
Mchiganders out of Lucas county where fights
between the rival factions were occurring almost
daily. Although there had been no fatalities as
yet the situation became so serious that Presi-
dent Andrew Jackson felt 1t advisable to step

congress could settle the dispute

could possibly have realized at the time. For
congress Needed his plea and gave the new state
the site of the future city OF Chicago and strip
of territory running 01 miles north from the foot
OF the lake and west to the Mississippi. And
this did result In making Illinois keystone to
fhe perpetuity of the Union"
Had the original boundary, as established by
the ordinance OF 1887, prevailed, Chicago would
have been In Wisconsin. In that case 1t Is
question II the city would have become so great
as 1t has, For the Illinois and Michigan canal
and the Illinois Central railroad both of which
contributed so much to Chlcagos early growth,
were due wholly to the enterprise of the state
and probably would not have been built to a
city In an adjoining state.
Having port on the Great Lakes bound the
commercial interests of Illinois with those Of
the North and, despite a large immigration from
the South throughout most of her territory, made
her a Northern state" In the coming struggle of
1S61-65. Moreover, the votes Of IA counties
formed from the strip of land given to Illinois
by this decision, made Illinois Republican state
for President. 1t also gave her the city of
Galena, the home of a man named Ulysses s.

thus bringing the war" to an end, recognized
Ohios boundary claims, including her right to
the city of Toledo. To compensate Michigan for
the loss Of this important lake port. congress
gave her what is now known as the Upper
Peninsula.
Michigan didn't think much OF her new terri
tory at first but when rich deposits of copper
and iron ore were discovered In the Upper PENN
sula, she was glad enough to have the land con-
tanning all this natural wealth. Years later be-
cause of the acquisition OF the region. Michigan
became involved with another state in another
boundary dispute.
In 1921 resolution was offered In the Wis
consn legislature inviting the people Of the Up

which 1t Is separated by water, and become a
part of the Badger state, to which II Is Joined
by land. The resolution was rejected but repre-
sentatives from the peninsula followed 1t up
with proposal that they be permitted to form
separate state to be called Superior.
Next the Michigan legislature appointed
committee to investigate the question of the
boundary line between Wisconsin and the Upper
Peninsula, and appropriated $4,000 for Its ex
penses. 1t was asserted that surveyors chose
the wrong fork of the Montreal river when they
ran their lines and that 800 square miles of
territory, including the town of Hurley, Wis,
the richest village In the world" really belonged
to Michigan When Gov John J. Blaine Of Wis
consln declined to arbtrate the question: the
committee recommended to Governor Sleeper OF
Michigan that he bring suit to recover these 800
square miles for the Wolverine state. However.
nothing came of this proposed "civil war" which
was to have been fought out by lawyers instead
Of armed men.
The same error In the Mitchell map which
caused the Toledo war was destined to affect
also the boundary relationships between Wis
consin and Illinois, although 1t never precipitated
a crisis as 1t did In the case OF Michigan and
Ohio. Back In 1918, when Illinois was about to
become state, Nathaniel Pope her delegate In
congress, argued for northern boundary. where

gates that the actual foot of Lake Michigan was
some distance south OF the point shown
Mitchells map. So the canny Buckeyes, de-
termlned to get all that was coming to them,
stipulated that If the east and west line laid
down by congress should fall so far south as
to miss Lake Erie. Ohio would then claim all
territory to the northermost cape of MAMA bay.
In 1905 congress created the territory of Michi-
gan and fixed Its southern boundary as provided
by the Ordinance of 1887. The result was that
the new territory claimed a strip of land some
five or six miles wide across the entire southern
side of Lake Erie, including the port Of Toledo.
But" retorted the Buckeyes, that's our land.
We laid claim to 1t three years ago and we In
tend to have It." SO there was an acrid dispute
which dragged along unsettled for 80 years.
In 1896 Michigan was about to become a state
and sought to enforce its claim on the Lake Erie
STRIP BY that time Ohio had Its Miami and Erie
canal system under construction and wanted an
outlet for 1t in Toledo. Stevens T. Mason, terri
torIal governor Of Michigan, denounced this "Ohlo
steal and the people of his state backed him up
In his determination to assert Michgan's claim
to the Lake Erie strip In March, 1885, he rushed
a thousand Michigan militiamen into Toledo re-
solved to hold It against the Buckeyes at all
costs
At the same time Gov Robert Lucas of Ohio

over, the Ohio legislature formed a county out
of the disputed territory, including Toledo, and
gave II the name of Lucas In honor of their
governor.
When the Michigan militia forcbly elected the
Ohio surveyors, 1t was up TO Lucas TO assert
not only military but judicial sovereignty over
this region. He began issuing commissions to
county officers and at midnight one night, while
the Michigan defenders of Toledo slept, group
of Buckeyes stole into the town with law books
and judicial papers and hurriedly went through
the formalities of holding court" Having done
This, they raced their horses back to the protec-

More Humble About Our

At the moment, many people are
deploring "A lack OF leadership" in
religion, says Lloyd G. Douglas In
Cosmopolitan. I'm my opinion, the
confessed bewilderment OF the
churches Is sign of health and
progress. The recent use of the soft
pedal has made the prophet of more
value to the people. They sense an
intellectual kinship with the honest
man who admits he is bit at loss
to know exactly where we are.
Editors who were used to saying
the last word necessary for the ade-
quate instruction Of their constitu-
ents are writing In phrases tempered
by new shyness. Statesmen, teach
ers, parents, even half-grown chill
dren are no longer laying down their

Just a hundred years ago two northern states
were having lively little civil all OF their
own In which there were raids" and "invasions'
by armed forces and In which bloodshedwas avert
ed only by the Intervention of the President of
the United States That was the Toledo war"
of 1885 between Michigan and Ohio
This "war' had Its origin away back In 1855
when John Mitchell English physician and
scientist published In London a great map of
America in eight large sheets This map was
accepted as the basis for determining the
boundaries from that time until after the treaty
OF peace which ended the Revolution. Mtchells
idea Of the lay of the land In the Old Northwest
was rather hazy, so there q number Of
errors In his map. Some of these were fortunate
for the United States, for they enabled the new
nation to lay claim to more land than 1t would
have obtained II the map had been correct But
1t was one of these errors which led eventually
to the toledo war"
Mitchell made the mistake of chartng the
foot of Lake Michigan in latitude Al degrees,
20 minutes instead of Al degrees 81 minutes
Ills map was used as q guide In 1877 when con-
gress adopted an ordinance for the government
of the Northwest Territory, including the pres
ent states Of Ohio Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
and Wisconsin. The ordinance provided that
two of the five states should lie north Of
