pie into the mistake OF thinking
that the house Isl congress and the
senate is something else and apart
from congress. Frequently strang-
ers ask where does congress meetY
When they mean where does the
house meet?' and when asked
whether they mean the senate or
the house, the reply is we don't
mean the senate, we mean con-
gress.' The correct designation of
a house member is representative.
Congress itself is often spoken Of as
the two houses.
There are two kinds of legisla
tive machinery just as there are two
coordinate branches of congress.
One kind is official and the other
is party or political. The former
could hardly function without the
latter. This was not always so. At
one time it was matter of catch-
as-catch-can; but now congress is
better organized for business than
ever before in it's history. The SEN
ate reels off a lot Of work when it
buckles down to business. The
house works with celebrity and pre-
cision. The great appropriation bills
are considered and passed according
to schedule, and every class of bus
mess is given a chance for consid-
Grafton.
''The vice president is the SEN
ates presiding officer. To enrolled
bills he signs as Vice President of
the United States, and the Pres
ident of the Senate He is elected
by the people in the same manner
as is the president, that is, by
electoral votes of the states. He
can vote in the senate only in case
of tie. The senate itself elects a
president pro tempore, who pre-
sides in the absence of the vice
president, and when the former is
not present, senator is designated
whose title is presiding officer. The
vice president may be of a differ
ent political faith than that of a
majority of the senate, which lat
ter selects the president pro tenn
pore. ~ M
''The senate's officers are secre-
tary and ergeant-at-arms and door
keeper and chaplain are elected by
its political majority, and their sub
ordinate employees are appointed as
senatorial patronage, dispensed,
through a majority-party commit
tee; but minority senators are ac-
Icorded some recognition, and cer-
tain employees are carried on an eff
Efficiency roll Membership on sem
ate committees is determined by
party conferences and selections
ratified by the senate. The senior
ity rule is generally observed. A
political majority of committee is
la ratio to that of the senate itself"

Iraq, Organized By
Woman, Enters New
Era AS a Nation

BAGDAD, Iraq P)-The year 1928
marks the opening of 9. new era Tor
the Mesopotamian country Of Iraq.
With this year the new 2O-year
treaty between Iraq and Great Britain
begins to run.
Iraq, under King Feisal, may
shortly take her place among the
other nations of the world, since
it is known that she is contemplat-
| ing entering the league OF nations
Her new treaty with England en-
braces this possibility by providing
l for periodic revisions of the relations
between the two countries.
| Iraq is one of the most romantic
/ of countries which sprang up during
/ the war, because it was literally born
! of woman.
Gertrude Bell, the late English
traveller, scientist and diplomat, was
/ chiefly instrumental in forming Meso-
potamia into nation during the
World war by inducing the tribal
chieftaifs to elect Feisal king. Miss
Bell penetrated into the inner recesses
of the Arabic tribal country, learned
the language and lived the life OF an
Arab in order to perfect her organ
ization Of the new nation.
The original treaty between Eng
land and Iraq by which the latter
recovered almost complete indepen-
dence as a separate nation England
to act merely as an adviser in foreign
affairs, was signed in 1922 and was tt
end with 1928. The new treaty is
virtually an extension OF the former
agreement, providing in addition
however, for revision If necessary.

two parts, a senate with 90 mem

members elected in districts in
which the population is as nearly
equal as possible. The present
basis on the 1910 census is 211,S77

Members of the house are spoken
of as congressman. This may be
correct, but it is unofficial and mis-
leading. Members of the senate are
just as much congressman" as are
those of the house, but they are
