of many Booker Washingtons dining

The annual convention of the Daughters
of the American Revolution NOW don

sion at WASHINGTON city. Hundreds OF
delegates are present and they are having
a grand time. The only thing that has
married the harmony of the deliberations
mas been the disposition of some mem
bers, representing the majority, to move
to table all motions that did not NEE
their approval. little Ohio woman pro
tested time and again against the ga
rule and when told by the chairman tina
she couldn't control delegates who pu
such motions and adopted them, the Ohio
woman still protested. But the congress
ought not to vote that way. Il don
think it is right to make undebata mo

So far this has been a very laxative
session of Congress. The words spoken
in the Senate and House have already
filled 5000 broad pages of the Congress
sional Record. AS each page Of the two
columns has about 200 words. it follows
that approximately S,500,000 words have
been used thus far at the present session.
The Record of the first session of the
Ffty-siXth Congress, which was the SEES
sion that preceded the Presidential cleo
ton of 1860 contained 6,S93 pages, but up
to the middle OF Anril that year the pro
ceedings had covered ALSO pages. 1t may
be a question whether the remainder of
this session will be sufficiently prolific in
debate to surpass the Record of four years
ago. There is yet great deal to be said,
and after the session has closed, there
will be scores of speeches to be printed
not to mention other material intended for
campaign circulation. The Record of the
present session would hardly be remark
able were 1T not that there has been little
legislation outside of appropriation bills.
