The Sixty.first Congress.

At noon yesterday the Sixty
first Congress, after holding two
regular and one special session,
closed its career as the Constitu-
ton directs. Despite the fact
that it commenced its career
pledged to greater economy in
expenditures, it is more than
probable that its aggregate ap-
preparations have somewhat ex-
ceeded the high water mark set
by it's predecessors. Its most
notable achievement was the en-
actment Of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law, ostensibly in response
to the pledges made by the Re
publican party at the last presi-
dental election. Instead of a re-
vision downward, the tariff law
as evolved rather added to the
burdens of the people, and a re-
alization of that fact brought
about the insurgent revolt, which
was the main distinguishing fea-
ture of the long session of the
present Congress.
The revolt of the insurgent
congressman whereby the power
of Speaker Cannon was curtailed
and the rules of the House of
Representatives materially alter
ed, was undoubtedly the most
conspicuous happening during the
period of the Congress just clos
ed. The speakership was strip
ped of much of its former auto
cratic power, and the hue and
cry raised by the insurgents
against the Payne-Aldrich tariff
was largely responsible for the
upheaval at the last November
election, which gave the Demo-
Gratis control of the House of Rep
resentatives in the Sixty-second
Congress.
Aside from the appropriation
bills and the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law, the Congress which came to
an end yesterday had very little
important general legislation to
its credit. Much of it's time was
wasted in the quarrels between
the insurgents and the standpat-
tiers and many worthy and desir-
able bills were sidetracked be-
cause of the animosities aroused
by the warning factions. The
Sixty-frst Congress will be re-
membered rather by what it fail
ed to accomplish than by what it
actually did. 1t has shown a de-
gree of independence of execu-
tive pressure which its immediate
predecessors did not attempt, and
by the overthrow of the power
of the speakership the Republi-
can machine lost in a large meas
ure its control over current legis-
lation.
The shortcomings of the Repub-
lican majority in the last Con-
gress undoubtedly precipitated
the Democratic victory in Novem-
Der last, and there is a possibility
that the effects of that victory
will extend to the presidential
campaign of 1912 unless the Dem
ocratic majority in the next House
of Representatives makes a poor
use of its opportunities. -Picay-

TRADE IN MEDICINES DOWN
SEVENTY-FlVE PER CENT IN
TEN YEARS."
PUBLICITY DID THE WORK
A Pharmacist Says People Are
Shaking the Habit" Particularly
Since Press Attacks on Nostrums
Side Lines Keep Busy Going.

Kansas City, Jan. 4.-If the busi-
ness of drug stores were confined
TO the sale of drugs, how many
of the hundreds in Kansas City
would have to close their doors
Take away the lunch counters, the
soda water fountains, the cigar
cases and the shelves of toilet ar
ticles, stationery and the thousand
and one "suniries,' and what
would remain?
A South Side druggist declares
it would be impossible, these days,
profitably to conduct a pharmacy
that catered solely to the trade in
prescriptions and patent medicines.
Why? The public is giving up the
medicine habit" he says.
The trade in prescriptions and
patent medicines has fallen off rs
per cent in the last ten years
the druggist asserts. The pharma-
cist is no longer a professional man;
he is merchant. The modern phar
macy is not a drug store; it is
department store. If it were not for
the side lines'-which really are
the main lines-carrled by the drug
stores few, if any, of them would
earn a living for their owners.
There are many reasons for the
falling off in the drug trade, the
principal one probably being that
humanity is learning better how to
guard against petty ailments fd
which quantities of medicines used
to be taken. Mothers. for instance,
have learned better how to care
:or their children 50 that We sell
dom hear any more of such dis
orders as cholera infantum and
summer complaint
Patent medicines generally were
given a black eye by the news
paper and magazine attacks on sew
eral much advertised preparations
a few years ago. There was a big
falling off in patent medicine sales
at the time, and the trade never
since has reached its former pro-
portions.
The term drug store has come
to be a misnomer. Many modern
pharmacies sell more postage
stamps than they do prescriptions,
and are not so much drug stores
as they are stationery or ice cream
soda stores"

London Eng, Jan. 5.-A new ele-

mutilated body was found on Cap
ham common Sunday
The muir Ter was attributed by
the oplice to the Hounds-Ditch an

Physicians who examined Ber-
ons body said they found on one
cheek a wound cleanly cut in the
form of a letter IS" and the police
declare this cutting was symetrical
and did not cause death. 1t is be-
lieved tnat Beron was killed by a

body with the sign of the order.
