These people come asking houses

UP,-The feeling grows here that
the flight of the DO-X, giant Ger

trip when the short flight from

pointed out that although the ship
was designed to fly LES miles per

 The order of the professor at this moment seems considerable. But if he continues long enough in his campaign of education he possibly will do more than any other single man in the state. to purge both the P. U. C. of utility minded members and the Legislature of Rorabackian aides.
 One effect of requested hearings before the P. U. c. would be to ac- celerate this campaign of education, even if the Commission, in its pecu- liar wisdom, voted all the points to the utilities. What is of prime im- portancc in the state is wide pub licity regarding existing conditions. and if that can be secured through hearings before the P. U. C., we are for the hearings regardless of their outcome.
 One way to shake the confidence of the states utilities in the justice of their rate structure is to harass them continually under the Jeoderehir, nf n,1bIir snirjted men like the Redding professor. He en- joys it; and ultimately, when the campaign of education has proceed ed far enough, there will likely be some necessary changes.

MIR. TAFT'S HEALTH

It is now safe to write something about former President Taft without running much risk of having some- thing happen before it sees type. Mir. Taft is improving. His physicians now believe him out of immediate danger.
 It was less than a week ago that physicians gave up hope" for the survival of the former President. But the jovial gentleman fooled them most pleasantly; indeed 1t Is a pleasure to everyone to realize that MT. Taft aas declined to depart from the land of the living.
 MT. Taft's obituary was set in type in every newspaper office in the land. No doubt many editorial writ CTS also wrote their editorial obituaries in advance of the event that did not happen. As Mark Twain once said upon a similar occasion, the anticipations were premature and much exaggerated.
 Now that the patient is taking nourishment, smiles to those around the bedside, waves hand to hi! wife, and shows an inclination to re. turn to recover in due course, the nation as one congratulates him up on his spirited defense and victory over extreme odds.

BOXER KILLED IN ACCIDENTAL FALL
Bardey Madden Loses Balance
 on Treasury Steps

Washington, March 6 P-A fall of 20 feet from the steps Of the treasury building during a sight seeing trip here brought to an en1 the career of Bartley Madden, fl year old Irish heavyweight, who be- came famous for his staying quail ties against championship contend- CTS.
 Madden died in a hospital here last night, few hours after he had accidentally stepped off the incline. He had stopped for a day in the capital on his way to New York. from Miami, where he had attend ed the Sharkey-Scott fight.
 He came to the United States as holder of the Irish heavyweight championship and was considered d possibility for the worlds heavy weight title. While he was not successful in his ambition, prior to 1917 there were few Americans in his weight who could knock Mad den down, and in later years he has stood up against all of the heavy weight aspirants at one time or an- other. Recently he was character ized by Gene Tunney as one of the two gamest fighters the former champion had ever met.
