HOW WAR BILLS PASS.

While members of congress ore ex-
planning to the folks at home just how
they put through the splendid war leg
islation program, 1t would be interest
ing for them also to explain how help
full the administration was in prepar-
ing 1t for them. Constituents who
grieve over the weary hours that their
representatives have spent In orieinat-
ing laws that will uphold the chief ex-
ecutive's hands. should dry their eyes.
The usual method of getting a bill
through congress nowadays is either
for the president or some member OF
the cabinet to prepare it and then for
either Secretary McAdoo or Postmaster
General Burleson to camp on its trail
until it Is passed In virtually it's orig
inal form. And they are a dandy little
pair of campers. Rain or shine, hot or
cold. Mr.. Burleson and his green UNI
brella usually may be found in the
