Lincoln-Douglas debates opened in Chicago 100 years ago on July 9, 1858. "I skill have my hands full," said Stephen A. Douglas, Senator from Illinois, when informed 100 years ago of the nomination of Abraham Lincoln to oppose his reelection. "He is the strong man of his party full of wit, facts, dates and tha best stumD sDeaker. with his droll ways and tis dry jokes, in the West." Nevertheless, . Douglas accepted " Lincoln's challenge to joint debate, following a custom of the times, and there ensued the fact-to-face forensids that "set the prairies ablaze." There wese to be seven meetings. Cannily, Douglas in accepting stated that he would make the first speech, seizing the opportunity to open and close four out of the seven debates. For all bis respect for Lincoln, Douglas prob ably could not have known the debates would destroy any chances he might have had to become President. Douglas, probably the outstanding Democrat in Congress, was an accomplished intel lectual demagogue. William Starr Myers charac terizes the "Little Giant" as "one of the shrewd est, ablest, and most popular men of his time." Lincoln, on the other hand, had been in politi cal semiretirement for almost 10 years, emerging to accept the Republican nomination for Senator from Illinois with his famous "house divided" address. For all his sincerity, he was awkward, gawky, and slow of speech, with a high-pitched voice that was not always pleasant. 'THE great debates began in Chicago on July 9, 1858; the seven encounters were held over a 55-day period into October. Both Douglas 'and Linaoln despaired of the sectionalism that threat ened to divide the Union. Douglas, who had been mentioned for the Republicans well as the Democratic nomination, declared that he intend ed to remain a Democrat and wanted no "Black Republican" support. The discussions were all conducted on a high and serious plane. Douglas stood on the Dred Scott decision, which held unconstitutional the Free Soil principle of no further extension of slavery in the territories. But Douglas also was the strongest exponent of "squatter": or terri torial sovereignty. Lincoln directly challenged him to reconcile these views. . Douglas replied at Freeport in what was to become known as the "Freeport Doctrine" that Dred Scott stood, and that neither Congress nor a territory could prohibit slavery expressly in a territory. But "practically" slavery.could not exist except by the support of local-police regulations. Thus a territory might ban slavery as a practical matter. . ' , THE doctrine was popular. Moreover, the dis- sented in the legislature. Thus that body elected Douglas Senator, 54 to 46, although the Lincoln candidates actually had received a 4,000 plurality in the popular vote. But Lincoln, if he had lost the debate, was to win the issue. Douglas' admission that the Dred Scott decision could be contravened "practically" antagonized his supporters in the South, while his support of the decision riled Northern anti slavery Democrats. The split was made formal in the Democratic convention of 1860 when the Southern delegates walked out. So Lincoln, run ning as a Republican, easily defeated Democrat Douglas and two others in 1860, though with only a minority of the total popular vote. E.R.R. Neighbor to the North When President Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles enter Canada Tuesday, July 8, for a three-day visit, they will be in a land that has recently undergone much the same economic experience as its southern neighbor. That was only to be expected in view of ther close economic ties "between the two. However, in Canada the recession started several months earlier than in the United States and also touched bottom several months earlier (assuming the bottom here was reached in April). Ia'fact, the Canadian economy seems already to have set off on the upturn generally believed to be just around the corner here. JN CANADA also the government stimulated ntw housing construction to support a lagging tconomy. In Canada also higher social security payments were relied on (in this country by mak ing unemployment compensation available for a longer period). In Canada also farm price sup ports helped to bolster farmers' incomes and the depression has put the government deep into th red. ' Of course there are differences. One way is -which the Canadian economy snapped out of it wai'by increasing exports, including uranium to the United States. There was more govern ment pump-priming there than -here. And the Canadian income tax rates were reduced. JEven more striking are the differences be tween the two countries politically.

Matter of Fact r ms., BEHIND GOLDFINE: ROBBj Washington The famous Bernard Goldfine, the friend of all the world, turned out to look like a Jewish version of Mr. Pick wick. That is the role, more over, which Goldfine has chosenfor himself, or his bat talions of lawyers and public rela Joi-pb Alsop tions men have chosen for him. The type-casting is ad mirable, for the Goldfine eyes beam benevolence on all the world; and when he is not being benevolent he is be ing innocently bewildered or righteously outraged by the sad cynicism of a wicked world. - At the outset then the plan was to present Bernard Gold fine as none other than good Mr. Pickwick, at that awful moment in his career when the widow Bardell mistook his genial warmth of nature for something far more seri ous. The hearings were in tended to be a mere repeat of the greatest breach of promise suit in history, Bar tell versus Pickwick. And the same happy end was hoped for the final proof to all the world that Goldfine, like Pickwick, was guilty of noth ing but genial, natural warmth. FURTHERMORE, there real ly is something warm and human and likeable about this energetic and resourceful man, who began life in Amer ica as a poor Russian immi grant boy, made a large for tune in a difficult industry, and incidentally saved a few New England towns from eco nomic decay. You can see why Sherman Adams and so many others surrendered to Gold fine. You have to pinch your self, or you positively begin to believe the Pickwick im personation. But of course you do not believe it. You cannot believe it, because Mr. Pickwick would not have collected use ful politicians on both sides of the party fence with Gold fine's extreme industry and astuteness. After all, Mr. Pickwick's solitary involve ment in politics in that ter rible Eatanswill election, showed none of the Goldfine finesse. Above all, Mr. Pickwick might have paid Gov. Adams' hotel bills. He might have wrapped Adams in vicuna, he might have provided Persia's finest for the Adams' feet to tread upon. But Mr. Pickwick would not then have turned around, and written down these generosities as business expenses for income tax pur poses. rr IS easy enough to see how the Goldfine charm and cal culations almost chemically combine with the New Eng land parsimony of an Adams, to produce the known results. But if you want the explana tion of the sharp national re action to the Goldfine-Adams story, you must look beyond Goldfine-Pickwick on the wit ness stand. You must look to Roger. Robb, the lawyer whom the White House com manded Goldfine to hire. Outwardly, Robb is a not unimpressive fellow, with his face in the clean-cut style that is only beginning to be self-revealing, as faces have a sad way of doing. But Robb, remember, was also the man Adm. Louis Strauss hired to prosecute Robert Oppenheim er. Robb was the man who skillfully' tidied out of sight the ugly central fact of the whole Oppenheimer case the fact that Adm. Strauss himself had seen every sig nificant item of evidence against Oppenheimer back in 1948, and had thereafter ap proved Oppenheimer's securi ' ty clearance with apparent confidence. ROBB is a good symbol, in short, of the ugly ex tremes of the past. Those ex tremes were partisan in pur pose, and those have today returned to haunt the Repub lican party, which so largely benefited by them. Harry Vaughan, for instance, was hardly more than President Truman's doorkeeper. And if so much was made of Harry Vaughan's loose-lipped, easy going imprudences, then how is nothing to be made of Sher man Adams' thin-lipped, money-saving imprudences? There, of course, is the first reason why this sorry busi ness has been blown up to such strange dimensions. But there is a second reason too. At the Goldfine hearings, one almost has the feeling of par ticipating in a Presidential election, which is being set tled by some such unfamiliar method as trial by water, k For Sherman Adams almost is the President of the United States,' where huge areas of the government are concern ed. And if the Goldfine hear ings end badly for Sherman Adams, then, no doubt, all those areas of government pass through much the same experience as a . real, change of president. Copyright 1958, New York Herald Tribune Inc. Washington Report By William Washington All the extra ordinary and icy skill of Vice President Richard M. Nixon as the master politician of the Republi can party is being engag ed by the Sherman Ad ams affair. Few men have less Tea son to feel un- wiuam s. wsite nappy at Ad ams's troubles. It was Sher man Adams, as assistant - to the President, who shoulder ed Nixon out of the way to become for a time the acting President when Eisenhower had his heart attack. And when Nixon himself was in difficulties in 1952 over contributions from rich backers, he was left alone to work out his own rescue. No body connected with Adams wept for Nixon then. The Vice President today could repay the score hand somely. He could, finish off Adams's public career with a single public sentence. Even though the President himself is still standing with his "im prudent" assistant, this ar rangement could not possibly survive any strong, intima tion of disapproval by Nixon. ILREADY.the bulk of GOP leaders are in the ''Ad ams must go" school. If Nixon should join that school, Ad ams would go, indeed. Even if the President should "then insist that he stay on, his po sition would be so intolerable that he would have to make an excuse to depart. . Nevertheless, Nixon has not turned on Adams. His in tuitive smell of political reali ty is far more acute than that of either Adams or Eisen hower. And it is because of his acute political awareness that Nixon is proceeding so care fully. In a word, somebody must save the GOP, to the ex tent it can be saved, and he is elected for the job. The Vice President accord ingly is not limiting his free dom of action. He is not par ticipating in tha Adams de Today & Tomorrow By Walter Lippmenn THE CAPTIVE AMERICANS With some 60 Americans being detained in four differ ent countries, there is a rath er sour note in the celebra tion of the Fourth of July. The captives are a sharp reminder that American pow er and prestige 41 are no longer Walter Lippmann W hat they were in the days when, if Americans were held prisoner in time of peace, there would have been a thundering demand for their release. What we have at the present time is a loud declara tion that we will not pay blackmail for them combined with the silent admission that we shall not force their re lease. TN each case the Americans are being held in order to induce the United States to make a political concession. For the nine members of the crew of the helicopter which strayed into East Ger many, the Soviet government and the Pankow government are asking us to label our ne gotiators as diplomatic agents of the United States govern ment. Though this would be the merest formality, carrying with it no real diplomatic re lationship, the form of the credentials of our agents is supposed to be very import ant. The Communists put a high value on the f omula and we, or perhaps Dr. Adenauer, also put a high value on the formula. In the meantime the Americans are detained while four governments, at Moscow, at Pankow, at Bonn and at Washington, quarrel about the metaphysical problem of recognition. . rpHE next group of captives consists of nine members of the Air Force who lost their way in a cargo plane. They are being held, it an- pears, to demonstrate, con ceivably to make the United States government admit, that American planes are in the habit of intruding upon the air space of the Soviet Union. This admission win not be made, and the men will be held, presumably until the So viet government Bets tired of keeping them. . Four Americans are cap tives in Red China, and thev have been there a long time. S. White fense councils within the ad ministration. Neither is so powerful a Nixon associate as William P. Rogers, the attor ney general. IIOGERS privately has made it clear that he is -standing apart as, indeed, in pro priety he must as the chief legal officer of the United States and the occupant of a semi-judicial post. Nixon is under no such re straints. His position of aloof ness and that is what it is is dictated by his necessities as the outstanding Republi can "pro." These pros and most of all Nixon as their leader have their work cut out for them. On the one hand, they must limit Adams's damage to the party as best they may. On the other hand, in attempting to extricate the party, they must strive, too, somehow to extricate the President him self from his almost unlimit ed commitment to Adams so unlimited as to be highly un wise politically. In their difficult task, about the best hope the pros have is from an unlikely source the very House committee that is investigating Adams's' rela tions with Bernard Goldfine. Only if that committee should fall on its face in the most spectacular way a way that would . outrage the country and turn public sympathy around toward Adams could the Presidential assistant's po sition be made at all tenable. - rTHERE is, of course, little -- possibility that the com mittee will be so foolish. True, it seemed to be headed in the direction of self-destruction in the leeway granted to the anti-Adams, anti-Goldfine wit ness, John Fox of Boston. Fox's obvious animus, with its overtones of a new kind of McCarthyism; did the com mittee no good. But the committee knows as much and will be on guard not to err again. Thus, in summary, what is most likely to happen is this: Adams undoubtedly will go along in his job for a while, maybe even as long as two months, assuming that fur- Of, They are pawns in the nego tiations which, ' until they were suspended, were being carried on in Geneva between an American Ambassador and a Red Chinese Ambassador. These negotiations may be re sumed. But no one seems to know what is the real price for the release of the impris oned Americans. The price is probably high since the Americans have been, so it is said, convicted of crimes under Chinese law. And then, there are some 40 men, including three Cana dians, who have been kid naped in Eastern Cuba by rebels under the command of one of the Castro brothers. Their ransom is the stoppage of American military aid which the rebels believe is being given to the. Batista government. The Cuban kid napings are a guerrilla ver sion of military reprisal, ana logous in reverse to what hap pened in former days, when the gunboat of a great power bombarded a town in a re calcitrant small country. THE Cuban affair is in many ways the most sig nificant because of the light it throws upon the realities and the limitations of military power in this age. Here is a small guerrilla army operat ing in the mountains of East ern Cuba. It has no common frontier with a Communist state. It is . part of an island in waters under the absolute naval control of the United States. Moreover, the United States has long had a mili tary base right next to the rebel territory. And yet the rebels dare to kidnap over 40 North Americans, including American soldiers, and to hold them for ransom. Yet hera w Sr with mir nuclear weaDons. our Air Force, our Navy and our Army, somehow inhibited from using, them even in Cuba, even in the Inner re gions of our sphere of-influ ence. What does this mean? .It means, -I venture to think, that in our time there has been not merely one revolu tion in the nature-of warfare. There have been two revolu tions. The one, the obvious revolution, is the tremendous increase in the fire power of the greatest - states. This is what the Pentagon deals with The other revolution is ' in what might be called the poor people's military technique. It may be a passive resistance as under Gandhi, or active and violent, as in Algeria to day or in Eastern Cuba. HPHERE has been an immense - amount of argument about the big deterrents and the conventional weapons, wea pons which are not nuclear but are designed for what might be described as another Korean war. But there is a greater question than whether in addition to the big deter rents, there should also be big "conventional" forces. There is the question of how to cope with guerrilla war. For it is evident, I think, that in the revolutionary con dition of the modern world, in all the softer spots of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, fighting is likely to take the form not of overt war but of the kind of smouldering war which enables guerrilla lead ers, like Castro or example, to defy the might and majesty of a great power like the U.S.A.

In a letter to President Ei senhower, he proposes that Russian and U.S. military representatives meet to work out a JOINT PLAN OF PRO TECTION AGAINST SUR PRISE ATTACK. Presumably, such a nlan. if workable, would make it feas ible for all nations oarticu larly the United States and Russia to suspend the testing of nuclear weapons. Suspend ing the testing of nuclear weapons would be a step to ward forswearing the USE of nuclear weapons. ; That might be a step toward preventing the destruction of me world.

' A small girl out' to dinner with her family and some friends had to leave the table . for a moment just as the time came to" order dessert. She told her mother, In no uncer tain terms: "I want a hot fudge sundae, and if they don't have that, I want a chocolate sundae, and if they don't have that I want chocolate ice cream, and if they don't have that I want vanilla ice cream, and if thev don't have that I don't want nothing!"

It seems the children, appar ently not trusting modern engineering, constant ly want to test the strength of the window by pounding on it. We saw something the other day we have always wanted to see. It concerned the post office department, and a letter postmarked in Grants Pass the day before it was received in Medford. Somewhere some thing slipped up and the letter was postmarked June 37, 1958. - ;: A staff member, not too long ; ago, obtained a kit ten, which has now grown into a small cat.
