Two Views of the Republican
COnSreSS

Henry Cabot Lodge, U. S. Senator
in speech to Republican members OF
the Massachusetts Legislature, Feb
ruary 18th, 1922:
Il am speaking within bounds when
l say that no Congress in time of peace
has ever shown such an amount of i'm.
portant, effective and remedial legis-
lature as has been enacted by the pre-.
sent Congress since it has been IN ses-
sion."
The Boston Transcript, leading Re-
publican newspaper of Senator Lodge
state. in an editorial, March 3, 1922:
To-day the record of the House of
Representatives in the first year of the
new administration stamps it unmis-
takably as the worst House in twenty
years. 1t has done more things that
it ought not to have done, and it has
left undone more things that it ought
to have done, than any House of Rep
controlled either by the
Republican or Democratic party that
Washington has seer in the last de-
cade 1t has broken more pledges, it
has succumbed to more pernicious
propaganda, it has trespassed in more
directions upon the executive authon-

in twenty years. It's presiding officer

Taken as whole, however. the House

Our Sewerage

With the Inauguration OF TIE
service successfully accomplished
when the bell syphon flush tank
between Third and Fourth Streets
on Pavie st. was connected ny
the city sewerage system is tri'
umphantly a thing of the present
and private connections will be
quickly made beginning today.
A personally conducted tour OF
the system proves the assertion OF
consulting engineer x. A. Kra-
mer, contractors McEachin & McEa
chin and other experts that >Natchi-
toches has the finest natural drain-
age in the state and much of the
system of bell syphons and man
holes could have been eliminated
except for the requirements of
the state code, framed with such
low places as New Orleans in
mind.
But all requirements, however
superfiuous, have been faithfully
fulfilled and there is no better
sewerage system in the state, &C.
cording to the experts.
The engines are automatically
run by electricity, and their very
simplicity precludes complicated
troubles. When the floater reach
es q certain height the electric
connections start the engine S
which are down the river bank,
and the perfect flushing system is
put in operation. There is an ex-
ira engine, not electrical, installed
in case of any unexpected emer-
gency and as the arrangements
are automatic both start and cut
of, no overseer is necessary for
the running of the machinery.
Eighty thousand gallons are re-
quired to ill the pipes which run
thru town and drain to the Red
River outlet several miles away.
The first impeller installed was
too large but the engineers cor
rected their mistake at their own
and the system now
stands perfect in construction and
the sanitary condition of Natchi
toches without its superior in the
state. BY actual comparison, our
water and electric service are the |
lowest in the state, and under the
supervision of " ,yur POLICEMAN

en-. have been made with best
