PARTIES UNITED
ON WAR BILLS
Rivals in Congress Got Togeth-
er for Best Interests of U. S.
in the Great War.

Washington, Oot 1o:-Ths enor-
nous war program carried out by the
war congress was made possible by
non-partisan action. Republicans and
Democrats voted together for neces-
sary measures.
The nominal leadership fell to the
Democrats who are in the majority.
In, the house the great money bills
were framed by Claude Kitcnin, Of
the Ways and Means Committee,
while in the senate f. M. Simmons,
of North Carolina, presided over the
committee aided by Boies Penrose,
representing the Republicans. In the
house julius Kahn, of California, aid
ed Kitchin.
When the bill to create the selec-
tive service army was in debate Kahn
acted as spokesman for the War De-
partment. The prominence of Kahn
was due to two things. his position
as senior Republican member Of the
Military Affairs Committee, and the
fact that James r. Mann, titular
leader of the house Republicans. had
little real sympathy with the war
program.
Democratic members Of the house
Committee on Military Affairs were
also tinged with pacifism and several
opposed the declaration of war. So

chairman of the Military Affairs
connection with this legislation gen.
orally spoken of as the Kahn bill.
In the senate there was perfectly
good team work on army legislation
between George e. Chamberlain, Of
Oregon, Democratic chairman OF the
Military Committee. and Francis e.
Warren, Republican senior member.
Warren Is father-in-law to Persh1ng
and has for years been beloved Of the
regular army. Chamberlain was in
full accord with the administration
war plans.
Chamberlain headed a subcommit-
tee which conducted hearings on
conscription which were completed
long before war was declared. In CO.
operation with Brig, Gen. Crowder,
law officer in the War Department,
the Oregon senator had mapped out
every detail Of the selective service
law, including the lottery draft, the
local civilian boards of selection. and
the construction of the sixteen can
tonment camps. When the moment
came for action 1t was only necessary
to present the perfected bill.
In handling army legislation
Chamberlain showed his competence
and he became administration
spokesman on the Democratic side.
Senators Lodge and Penrose on the
Republican side gave unvarying sup
port. and the only opposition which
developed came from LaFollette,
Norris, Kenyon, Borah, Cummins and
Hiram Johnson Of California, who
were supported by a group Of Demo-
Gratis including Vardaman, Reed.
Kirby, Hardwick and Stone of Miss
ouri.
Most of the opposition was center
ed on the taxation program and the
food control bill, thoSS1nthere was
bitter fight in thsl |Ee over the

CHIEF OF POLICE

Popular Official Was Confined to
Bed Three Months. Now Hale

q aF#N
If there is man in Macon who is
universally known and liked, that man
is Geo. Samuel Riley, the popular and
efficient Chief of Police of that city.
Chief Riley has been prominently
identified with Macon's public affairs
for number Of years, and is highly
esteemed and respected for his high
character and integrity by all who
know him. In an interesting inter-
view recently. Chief Riley said:
81 came to Macon when | was only
a l6-year-old boy from Houston coun-
ty, and have been living here for 38
years. have always enjoyed very
good health. and have been what you
would consider strong, healthy man.
Last June | was taken very sick, and
was confined to my bed for three
months with a trouble that developed
into pleurisy with serious complica-
tions, and | had to undergo several
operations. For while was entire
ly helpless.
after getting out my right side
continued to pain me. My breath
would get short, and | had terrible
pains and swellings in my legs and
feet and catching pains in my hips
and the small of my back. This trou-
BILE made me very nervous and lost
sleep. To tell you the truth, was in
mighty bad shape, and nothing in the
way of medicine seemed to do me
much good.
My kidneys bothered me a great
deal and my whole system seemed to
be filled with Uric Acid poison For
while | had little control over my
kidneys and this bothered me a great
deal. Like everybody else, got to
reading about Tanlac and decided to
give it a trial. can understand now
why everybody is praising this medi-
cine, for it helped me right from the
start. The pains in my side have left
me entirely and | now have control
over my kidneys. The swellings have
all gone down and feel like a new
man in every way.
Yes, sir, this Tanlac just filled me
with new life and energy and feel
more like myself than in months.
Everyone has noticed the wonderful
improvement in my condition. and |
am only too glad to say good word
for Tanlac. | had taken medicines
ever since | was taken sick and moth
ing seemed to help me, but two bot
ties of Tanlac have put me on my
feet and feel like myself again."
