Lincoln's birthday in the house

"Editor's note: The following excerpts have been made from an address delivered in the House of Representatives, on the anniversary of the birth of Lincoln, three years ago. It was by unanimous consent that the House requested Mr. Fess to deliver this oration, and it is interesting to note that when his time expired the interest of the House was so aroused that by unanimous consent, and amid cries of "Go on!" he continued his eulogy on "Honest Abe.""
