The Compromise of 1850

For a great many years the slav-
cry question had threatened dis
ruption of the union. If. both
North and South had insisted upon
their more extreme elements, the
breakup of the union would have
been inevitable. The situation was
very serious. Henry Clay came to
the rescue.
Although he was very old and
had only two more years OF life he
fought and won an election to the
Senate in order to have a chance to
propose compromise which he
might save his country.
In January, 1850, Clay presented
his compromise to Congress. To
appease the North and its anti
slavery feeling he suggested that
California be admitted as a free
state and that slave trade be for
ever prohibited in the District of
Columbia. For the benefit of the
South he suggested the passage of
a stricter Fugitive Slave Law, an
agreement not to abolish slavery in
the District of Columbia without
the consent of Maryland, the erec-
tion of New Mexico and Utah into
territories without prohibiting slav-
very in them, an official denial that
Congress had any control over the
Interstate slave trade, and last,
the payment of the state debt of
Texas for her abandonment of
most of her claim to an extended
, boundary.
After many debates, much con-
troversy and the death of President
Taylor, the new president, Millard
Fillmore and Congress agreed upon
the compromise. 1t became law
in 1850.
Although Clay with his followers
had saved the union, no comprom-
Use would have been lasting.

IdiosyncTasies

Our peculiarities of temperament
or idiosyncrasies are often amusing
and silly, especially to others. How
ever, they usually are very serious
and definite customs or ideas to the
individual. Some realize theirs,
others are unconscious of these odd
traits.
Some of these which I know of
are: refusing to walk on iron doors
Or CRATES; peculiar and amusing
sayings; not being able to express
oneself without the use of hands or
facial movements; doing certain
things because of custom or "a
must feeling" as always Wis
iting a certain spot when going to,
say, New York; an obsession for
having ones fortune told, and
many little things we have which
we do not realize and others which
we do but just can't help.
Who cares? It's fun and if we
didn't have these little odd traits
we wouldn't have personality at
all, because all of these go to make
up our personalities.

Stick To 1t

There is a story told Of two In
dians, one weak and the other
strong. The weaker Indian started
on the trail of small deer and
stuck doggedly to it until he came
upon it. His stronger companion
came upon the trail of several large
deer and followed the largest. Af-
ter going short distance he decid-
ed it had gone too far and went
back and started following anoth-
er. He did this all day but got
nothing.
There is moral to this story:
The goal or reward is at the end of
the trail
The moral holds good in all our
activities. In lessons or in sports.

GERMAN WAR
LEADER, DIES

dendorff took command, led a bril-
liant attack-that was his idea OF
the way to fight, always to attack
and was promoted from colonel to
general
Within three weeks Of the out
break of the war Ludendorff was
sent to the eastern front as chief
of staff to the then Gen. Paul Won
Hindenburg. The victory of Tan
nenberg, in east Prussia, one OF
Germany's greatest followed and
Ludendorff's friends saw him as the
master mind.
Some military experts held that
had Ludendorff's subsequent plans
for eastern front operations been
needed. Russia could have been
crushed in 1915 instead of in 1917.
On Aug. 90. 1916. Ludendorff was
made general chief of staff OF all
forces in the field with the title
of quartermaSter general.
Ludendorff played a great part IN
organizing the German offensive OF
1918. which smashed through the
allied lines on the western front but
failed, in the end, for lack of re-
serve, after the terrific losses suf-
fered in frontal attacks.
In October, 1918, when the Ger
man drive had been broken and the
Germans were in full retreat, Kaiser
wilhelm ordered Ludendorff home
under political pressure as the chief
figure to be blamed for the collapse.
During the first years of the Nazi
rule, starting in 1888, Ludendorff
was ignored. There was ill-feeling,
apparently. between him and some
Nazi leaders. On the generals 10th
birthday in 1885 there was re-
conciliation between him and Hitler.
Both Hitler and the army honored
him.
