The Congress which will moot in Washing ton on; December 5th will be the last "lame duck" Congress. It was j Speaker Thomas B. Rood who coined th<! phrase "lame ducks" to designate numbers of congress who have been defeated for re-eleetiou in November but who hold their offices nntil the fourth of March, and meet in Deeem for the ?inftl sesaistt.- ^ TIumo will be an unusually large number of lame ducks in the con cluding session of the Seventy Second Congress, and they will have .just as much power, their votes will ?ount for just as much, as if they ! had been re-elected. In some quar ! tor-, indeed, there is a feeling that i the lame duck Congressman, who no i longer has to keep an ey# on his | hor:e district to determine how he should vote, is sometimes more like ly o conduct himself as a represent atire of the real fundamental inter ests of the entire nation than is the nor member who has to keep his ! owi possible re-election in mind. Cone to Svlva for the show. It s free; educational, and interesting. It will be held in the warehouse next to .1. 3. Ensloy Feed Co., for your con venience.
