IF private capital is to be encouraged
to continue doing business and paying tax
es in this country, the government must re-
frain from competition with that capital
Ii private capital is to be driven out, then
the government can no longer tax it and
we must completely reorganfze our present
system of government. There can be no
halfway position on his issue
This is a quotation from an editorial
in the Burlington. Vermont. Free Press, in
spiEed by the Muscle Shoals bill. 1t would
be good thing if it were blazoned in the
council chambers of every legislature in
the land We are gradually drying up our
sources of tax revenue through government
interference and competition-and at the
same time we are crying for more taxes.
The logical end TO such a situation is &C.
onomic ruin.

TODAY'S HOROSCOPE

The special positions on the first
day of the month indicate one
who is full of goodness. patience,
thrift and humility. Great work
may be accomplished in a modest
way, but there is too little self
assertion, not enough aggressive
ness, and hence but little fame is
likely. This will matter but little,
for there will be enough of success
to satisfy the modest requirements
of the native.

Actual Death for
Patient Arrives
Delaware Man Fools Doc
tors Many Times

WILMINGTON. Del, March 3.
(UP).-The death of Leroy Tay-
lor, 43-year-old newspaper circu-
lation man, here, ended one of the
strangest cases medical men,
frightened hospital and morgue
attendants ever faced.
Taylor died in the Delaware
hospital here. but it was not until
two days later that physicians
were ready to state with finality
that he was dead-and then only
after rigor mortis had precluded
any possibility of mistake.
Physicians took precautions be-
cause Taylor had fooled them be-
fore by dying" and then coming
back to life. On one occasion he
dropped, apparently dead, in d
railroad station, and was taken TO
the morgue. A half hour after adj
mittance he scared an attendant
by sitting bolt upright and asking
the attendant how he came to be
in sleeper. ....
Several times afterwards Tay-
lor appeared to die, but each time
he returned to consciousness"
The. cause of his malady. ac-
cording to physicians, was trace
able to war injury, which re-
suited in vein and artery in his
head becoming connected, permit
ting blood from the vein to seep
into the artery.
Whenever a certain amount Of
poisoned blood had made its way
into the artery, it induced a slunl-
Der so deep as to defy the stetho-
scope.
An operation was performed
last year and Taylor seemed to
have completely recovered, until
a change for the worse prompted
his family physician to take him
to the hospital.

now is known upon Capitol Hill
as Hold That Line Blanton, all
because of his vain efforts to
keep the house from voting for
the anti-prohibition amendment.
When BlantOn was speaking
in opposition to the measure. he
had occasion to tell a story
about himself, suffering in a
hospital from a broken leg after

said Blanton, in a loud and shrill
voice was "hold that line; hold

He continued a dozen times; ;
Hold that line; hold that line ;

Later in his speech he told of
receiving some threatening let
tiers in connection with his pro-
hibition work.
And what do you think these
letters said?" he asked.
Hold that liner' shouted a
wag in the back of the house.
That insulted Representative
Blanton. He stalked from the
chamber. A chorus of ''hold
that line: hold that line; hold
that line" measured his progress
to the exit.
The next day he made thu ee
speeches.
Every time he rose to address
the speaker, one or another of
his colleagues shouted:
"Hold that liner'
Since then. and to his dis
gust, the phrase "hold that line"
has become welded to Represen-

MERGER BILL
VICTORY FOR
EHRINGHAUS
Is Expected To Be lroned
Out In Present Form
AT EARLY Date
By ]. C. KASKERVILL
.... The T'imes-Ncws Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, Mar. 3.--With the
bill consolidating the State
Highway Commission and State
Prison into new State High
way and Public Works Commits
sion passed bv both houses and
awaiting only senate approval
of several house amendments to
become law. Governor j.. G. b.
Ehringhaus has scored his first
major victory in the present gen
eral assembly, it is agreed here.
The enactment Of this bill with
very little opposition in either
house is interpreted as Nindicat-
ing that the governor has a
great deal more influence in both
houses of the. assembly than
many thought at first and that
when he does take a hand In
legislation in which he is inter-
ested, he can get it through.
This highway-prison consolida:
ton bill was the first major bill
offered so far which the COVER.
nor has openly advocated. AT
first there was a good deal OF
opposition to the bill in both
houses, especially in the house,
where a good many believed i
was nothing more than an eff
fort to build a still larger politi-
cal organization out of the
Highway Commission and the
state-prison, rather than an eco
nomy measure. The bloc in the
house. which has been consist
emily sniping at Chairman E. B.
Jeffress of the Highway Com.
mission, largely because of his
support of Ehringhaus in the
primary last spring and summer
was especially opposed to the
merger of those two state agen-
cies and indicated that it would
fight it to the last ditch.
But several weeks ago Gov
ernor Ehringhaus started send
ing for various senators and
representatives for personal con-
ferences. Almost every one,
after talking the bill over with
the governor, were convin C e d
that ne was interested in il
purely as an economy measure
and that he was in no sense in
terested in it from a political
standpoint. AS a result, the OPP
position to the bill began to de-
crease materially, and passed the
senate with very little opposi-
ton.
1t was still believed, however,
that the bill would encounter
some stiff opposition in the
house, especially because of the
intense feeling on the part of
many house members against
Jeffress, who accordingly have
beer in favor of stripping the
Highway Commission down to
its running gear rather than en-
larging it. But more and more
house members were called down
stairs to confer with Governor
Ehringhaus. AS result, when
the bill came to a vote in the
house Wednesday,, all tn e
amendment and the bill were
adopted wit ha roar of "ayes"
and with not more than five or
six modes" 1t is regarded as
certain that the senate will con-
cur in all the house amendments
when it gets over there for con-
currence in them Friday and that
the bill will be enrolled and rati-
fled hv the end of the week.

Century Of Progress, Liv-

Open in IA Weeks
n By SAM KNOTT
Unitde Press Staff Correspondent

Unitde Hress Stan SorreSPo
CHICAGO. March 3.-(uP)'-
An encyclopedia is coming to life
along Lake Michiean's man-made
shore where the Century OF Prog
ress Exposition will open fourteen
weeks from today. -. ~
A trip today through the
Worlds Fair" grounds shows
that Chicago's dream OF a great
1888 exposition, celebrating lO0
years of progress, is nearing real
ization. ...-,,.
Ten years have passed since tn"
worlds fair idea was first au-
yanced. Since then many changes
have come about. A depression
slowed up many things, but expo
sition developments moved stead
ily onward, growing as they ad-
vsnced. Now, with 81 days yet to
90, the success Of the venture Is
assured. ...,.. ,,...s.-
An army of artists, laborers.
technicians and architects is at
work. Action is the keynote OF
every plan. ..... "a. ID,
A few years ago, water stood
rs feet deep over the exposition
site. A trip now across the same
expanse is equivalent to trip
around the world or to seeing all
! the things in an encyclopedia
come to life.
The west tower Of the "sky
ride" the exposition's tallest
structure will be finished this
week. 1t is 62S feet high. It's cas-
tern twin, half a mile away on
Northerly Island. will be finished
soon Cables will be stretched be-
tween the two and visitors will be
propelled in rockets from one to
the other.
More, than 20 buildings and
groups are completed or nearing
completion. Many. more will be
added. All will be finished BY
May Is and on June a ray OF
light which left the orange stat
Acrturus during the Worlds Fair
of 1898 will start the wheels OF
the new. fair turning.
A Century of Progress EXPOSE
ton is an outgrowth of the COIN
cidence that Chicago was incor,
porated at the very dawn of what
has become the worlds most out
standing 100 years Of progress. ,
Leaders chose progress through
science and its applications as the
keynote of this unprecedented
world advance and therefore oil
their exposition. -,
The fair might be divided into
three major divisions, progress IN
science. travel and transport. and
agriculture.
Some of the most striking
things about the exposition are
the architecture, the use of color
and light in the decorative scheme
and the fact that everything
moves.
Another unusual thing is that
it was financed in advance and Is
non-competitive.
One of the first things visitor
notices is the absence of windows
in the modernistic buildings In
which architects substituted planes
and surfaces for intricate details
m nroduce effects lust as much
advanced over old style structures
as steamships are over sailboats.
Windows were omitted for two
reasons. First, it costs most as
much to put windows in a perma-
nent building as in a temporary
one and all exposition buildings
are temporary. Second, in win
dowed building lighting conditions
change constantly. The light in
exposition buildings will always
bn tho Same
