IRSTS IN ORATORY WERE DIVIDED UP
INLY ONE MAN IN WICHITA CON. TEST WAS GIVEN TWO FIRSTS.
the Story That the Table of Grades and Ranks Tells-The Ora- torical Officers.
In many ways it was more than an d'nary oratorical contest which was onducted at Wichita last week by the ansas Inter-Collegiate Oratorical As- pciation.
Undoubtedly a higher standard of atory marked it than is usual. Sev- al of the orators were close to- ether in the running.
Another peculiarity about this con- st was that a freshman, Mr. John A. hields, of Ottawa, won first, and a eshman took third, Mr. Lockwood, Emporia. Mr. Stanley, of Baker, is phomore, and Mr. Kreuger, of Mid- nd, is a junior, Mr. Driscoll, or riends, is a sophomore. Mr. Ulrich, Washburn, and the other orators, e seniors. Messrs. Lockwood, Stan- y and Driscoll will probably be in e contset again next year.
The contest was extraordinary in at a profit, instead of the usual
deficit, will be the result, after the ex- penses are paid.
"We had close to 850 paid admis- sions and I think we will clear about $350," said J. W. Stanley, of Friends, secretary-treasurer of the association on Saturday morning. This profit will be divided among the nine colleges in the association.
The not at all remarkable fact that it takes men of all kinds and of var- ious opinions to make a world was clearly shown in the rankings of the orators, which are published below. Only one man, Mr. Gordon Bailey, of Southwestern, who got first in thought and composition, received more than one first. He got two. Messrs. Shields, Hunsaker, Ulrich, Lockwood, Rouse and Stanley each received one first. It will be noted that Mr. Shields got his place with one first, four thirds, a fifth, a seventh, and an eighth. A still greater variation will be noted in the ranking of some of the other orators.
At the delegates' meeting in the afternoon preceding the contest, the amendment to the section of the con- stitution which defines the methods of ranking, proposed by the Wash- burn delegates, Messrs. DeWitt Lee and Valentine Godard, was passed after it was thoroughly discussed, and the new plan was followed out in the

KANSAS COLLEGE EDITORS NOW HAVE NEWS EXCHANGE
A WEEKLY NEWS LETTER WILL TAKE "BIG" EVENTS TO THE EDITORS.
Plan Was Unanimously Adopted- The Ottawa Campus Edits The Intercollegian Next Year.
In connection with the oratoricel contest the Kansas College Editors' Association met in Wichita last Fri- day afternoon at 1 o'clock in the Friends University Life office.
Several newspaper men asked to appear on the program were not pre- sent and a half hour was spent in discussing the plan of the editor of the Ottawa Campus for a news ex- change each week between the ten papers in the association. The plan presented was that editors prepare a news letter and send to each editor in the association each week. It was suggested by the Campus editor that only inter-collegiate and news of state wide interest be covered briefly in these letters. The idea appealed to the editors and the plan was adopted. The first news letters were sent out this week.
This is probably the first effort of its kind in the west and it is expect- ed that it will prove mutually helpful to the editors in the association. In the east a few of the colleges ex- change news by telegraph, but it is not known that the news letter scheme has never been tried. The re- porter for the inter-collegiate depart- ment of the paper will probably, in most cases, handle the news.
A schedule of the time when the paper goes to press has been placed in the hands of the editors and the letters will be mailed with a view of getting them to their destination on time.
After the news exchange plan had been adoptd, some little discussion concerning a plan for election of officers by rotation was engaged in. It was finaly decided to elect from a .

LINCOLN, MASTER POLITICIAN.
By John A. Shields.
-
Abraham Lincoln is the most re- markable figure of modern times. Woodrow Wilson has ranked him as one of the three great characters of the world's history. It would be use- less to attempt to praise or eulogize his name. He was the greatest states- man and politician of his age and per- haps of all ages. Lawyers tell us that he ranks high among the world's jurists. Men of might speak of him as a master in his grasp of human af- fairs. The student of literature reads with wonder the gems which came from his unlearned pen. Men who have done far less as orators, as dip- lomats, as generals, are famous.)
But it is not because of his impos- ing qualities that he is most widely known. Rather, because of his rug- ged honesty, his faith in right, and those humbler virtues, is he loved of men. He is not known as "eloquent Abe," or "brilliant Abe," but as "Hon- est Abe." Coupled with his honesty was a genius for politics which en- abled him to cope with the master minds of the late fifties, in the clash of interests and passions that pre- ceded the Civil War.
1858 marks the beginning of the most turbulent period in the history of American politics. Everything po- litical was in a chaotic state. One great party was dead; the other was incapable of facing the impending crisis. Webster, Clay, Calhoun,-"the great triumvirate"-had failed to
calm the storm. Lovejoy, Phillips, Sumner, had been beaten back. (The situation demanded a man of destiny, -a man who could hold the course while a hurricane was raging, and stand, like a rock, where every tem- pest of conflict swept. It was at such a time that Abraham Lincoln, the prince of politics and king of state- craft, stepped into the arena of na- tional politics.)
1 Stephen A. Douglas was the polit- ical giant of his time. He was seek- ing re-election to the United States senate on a popular sovereignty plat- form. He was the idol of many vot- ers, who while convinced that slavery was wrong, were not willing to advo- cate its abolition. Leading reformers were giving him their undivided sup- port. Lincoln, believing the doctrine of popular sovereignty to be a soph- ism calculated to extend and perpet- uate slavery, entered the senatorial contest, favoring "a national policy
which regards slavery as wrong." The "anti-extensionists," desiring to make Douglas the popular sovereignty can- didate in the approaching presidential campaign, urged Lincoln to withdraw his opposition. Horace Greeley and Governor Crittenden, while preferring Lincoln's platform, warned him that his party had never accomplished anything and that an aggressive cam- paign emphasizing popular sovereign- ty would weaken Douglas in the south and greatly injure the "anti-exten- sion" cause. The Douglas partisens accused Lecompton of caring more for party than for principle. They said his organization was a party of one idea. They argued that Douglas was a good man; that he had pro- nounced slavery "a curse beyond com- putation"; that his anti-Lecompton pl platform, that was stolen from Lincoln in order to seduce his followers, left nothing to be desired. They were anxious to make Douglas the candi- date of the "anti-extensionists," with- out regard to party.
Lincoln, on the other hand, was a partisan. He maintained that "the natural political home for men oppos- ed to the extension of slavery is in a party in whose ranks there is no divi- sion on that question"; that however honest or zealous Douglas might be, his party did not share his anti-slav- ery views. He wrote that to heed this non-partisan sophistry would demor- alize and prostrate the cause every- where, for years, if not forever. He disregarded the sophistical arguments of the middle ground muddlers, who in the interest of harmony, sought to divert him from his uncompromising course, and Time, the just and incor- ruptible judge, has pronounced him great because he did.
In the fall of 1858 the senior sena- tor from Illionis returned to give an account of his stewardship. Then was begun the great forensic contest of the century, between two of the ablest champions that have ever graced our political forum. At Freeport, with his characteristic simplicity, Lincoln pro- pounded four questions, one, of which was intended to compel his adversary to announce his position upon the is- sue of the hour. Friends and foes alike considered it unpardonable that Lincoln should demand an embarrass- ing admission of facts, and a discus- sion of actual conditions. But that question was born of a master mind, and a prophetic vision looking far in- to the future. Genius often discerns an opportunity where others see noth- ing. Disregarding all advice to the contrary, Lincoln boldly asked if the
people of a territory could lawful permit or abolish slavery as the chose. That simple question was tl beginning of a revolution.
With a majestic dignity that ha ranked him as one of the great or tors of history, Judge Douglas bega pouring forth a veritable flood of el quence. Argument, invective, moc ery, derision, followed in quick su cession. Hurriedly he · disposed three of Lincoln's questions., callit them idle, irrelevant, foolish! Kno ing that the nation was listening al realizing the tremendous importan of the final question, he approached with all the skill of the debater's al Taking the constitution as a found tion, he built a mighty citadel of arg ment around popular sovereignt Amidst a storm of applause he t: umphantly answered, "The great pri ciple of local self-government is firi ly established by
the constitutio and sustained by the Supreme Coul The people have a right to make slave territory, or a free territory, ; they please!"
That dignified reply seemed to 1 final. Furiously he assailed the "bla Republican party," its candidate, al its principles. He tore through Li coln's argument, right anl left, al proudly flourished its mutilated rej nants. The zenith of his career Wi reached in his defiant declaration: care not whether slavery is voted 1 or down. Leave the people free to ( as they please!"
The fatal words were spoken. that crucial moment the trend of h: tory was turned. The master po tician had forced his opponent commit himself upon a vital issı concerning which the southern ar the northern Democrats held irreco cilable opinions. Douglas had chos the wide gate and the broad wi that led to political destruction. See ing to serve two masters, he had Ł trayed the one, and compromised tl position of the other. He had traj pled upon his conscience to get tl flesh-pots of political power and f the sake of a senatorial toga he hi bartered away the ark of the Jeffe sonian covenant. Then went up a t multuous cry of wrath, fierce and : most savage, that echoed to t. shores of the continent. From th hour there was a southern Democra and a northern Democracy, and t. house that championed slavery w divided against itself and could n . stand.
2+ 4 What a master stroke! The pr spective of fifty years reveals t subtle genius of the questioner.
THE OTTAWA CAMPUS.
nswer Douglas might have given, or ven evasive silence, would have di- ided the Democracy, estranged him rom his party, and destroyed his residential hopes.
The question doubtless defeated Lincoln in the senatorial contest. He deliberately chose defeat and obscur- ty for truth's sake, and thereby won larger victory and a lasting fame; te lost his political life for what he elieved was right, and thereby saved t. His question set people to think- ag, and helped to crystallize the an- i-slavery sentiment, and mould it into olitical party, where it could be ef- ective. He was not striking at Doug- as, the man. He regarded the issues avolved as far transcending person- lities. He-recognized, and it is one roof of his greatness, that in every onstitutional government, political arties, notwithstanding their imper- ections, are the forces upon which he people must rely. He was aim- ng his blow at Douglas, the keystone f the Democratic party, and with the hattering of that keystone slavery vas doomed.
Douglas had disregarded the under- ying ethical principles involved in he great reform. He had based his olution for a great governmental roblem upon the shifting sands of xpediency, rather than the solid rock f principle. Little wonder that it ell before Lincoln's terrific on- laught. If oratory is to be measured y its results, this effort stands un- paralleled. Against "squatter sover- ignty” Lincoln hurled a mighty hunderbolt of logic and philosophy. With a single sentence that might ave emanated from the lips of a prophet of old, sharp and trenchant is a Damascus blade, he laid wide pen that chimerical theory. "Judge Douglas declares that if any commun- ty wants slavery it has a right to lave it. He can say that logically, if le says there is no wrong in slavery; out when he admits that there is a wrong in it, he cannot logically say hat anybody has a right to do wrong.'
That simple, logical, unanswerable itterance sounded the keynote of the rrepressible conflict. It was more han Lovejoy's invective, or Phillips' loquence, or Sumner's statesman- hip; it was a master politician's solu- ion of a great politico-moral prob- em!
Lincoln was "the leading man in he greatest drama ever enacted on he stage of a continent." When Wil- iam H. Seward made his great speech on "The Irrepressible Con- lict," every political principle that he| gym. Come and see it.
announced had been given to the world by Abraham Lincoln. When the Charleston convention divided on the Douglas policies, it was the pres- cience of Lincoln, at Freeport, that made harmony impossible. When the "Little Giant" became entangled in the net of popular sovereignty, and fell, in 1860, it was the foresight of Lincoln that did this. When the cru- cial hour of the nineteenth century had come, when Fort Sumter was as- saulted, and the great constitutional question of our history, which had baffled the wisdom of the statesmen of a generation, it was Lincoln who made the momentous decision. When the darkest day of the Civil War had dawned, when the border states were about to leave the Union, when Lee's victorious legions were sweeping northward, when foreign powers were most unfriendly, and the cause of freedom trembled in the balance, it was the unerring political wisdom of Lincoln that triumphed. When those dauntless and heroic lines of blue were bivouacked at last in Dixie's cap- itol, and the flower of southern chiv- alry had laid down its arms at Appo- mattox, then the old south that was and the new south that is,bowed down and did obeisance to Abraham Lin- coln.
As the years and events pass be- tween us, the great lesson of Lincoln's life becomes more and more apparent. In the legislature of his state, and in congress, he repeatedly jeopardized his political future by espousing un- popular, but just, causes. He left the! political party of respectability, be- cause he believed its silence on the slavery question was wrong. He join- ed the weak, despised Republican party, to fight a seemingly hopeless, thankless fight, in obscurity, because he believed it was right. While the nation was being tested in the cruci- ble of battle, there was not an hour when he could not have had the ap- plause of the multitude for doing less than he thought was right. He fol- lowed the goddess of truth unfalter- ingly, through. thick darkness, with- out question, to the end. He who would do less cannot honor Lincoln.
Lincoln's motto was: "I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true; I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have." In this day and hour, faithful to our sacred trust, "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it."
