PETRIFIED MAN
Historic Giant Is Discovered in New
Novioo
lbuoueroue Herald

Albuquerque Herald.
The giant of Abo pass, or, at least, portion
of that historic parsonage, Is now In Albu-
querque. He IS not inla museum. nor is he in
d coffin, altho9 he is very decidedly dead one.
Instead that part of him which Is In Albuquerque
is suspended by wire from the wall of the
office IN W.T. Trimble's Second street livery
stabless where recently number of well known
ethnologists examined him and pronounced him
the real thing. That portion of the giant which
has been transported from the original resting
place is the head complete and the neck to the
shoulders. w. L. Trimble and Il. e. Sturges,
the discoveries Of the head, tell remarkable
story Of Its discovery and transfer from the
pass to Albuquerque.
Several weeks ago, these gentlemen made an
overland trip to Abo pass to see the work on the
Santa Fe cutoff. While driving thru the pass
one day, thus runs the story, Mr.. Sturges espied
queer-looking rock sticking out above the
ground and called his companions attention to
human skull, and in another instant both men
were down on the ground making excavations
around the rock. They found It not only
human skull. but also solid petrifcation Of an
entire human body of great size, Embedded in the
solid rock. For hours the discoveries toiled
an ak and cut away the hard flint formation
around the head. After working three days
and three nights without food drink, they
brought the head unbroken from its long resting
place. Mr.. Trmble wanted to go after the rest
of the body, but Mr.. Sturges protested that 1T
shoot 1t out. So they marked the spot and
came away bringing the head with them. It
Is remarkable specimen, whether genuine or
not The head Is that of giant with perfect
features and having a distinctly Ethiopian cast
of countenance. The neck is massive, and the
rock Even portions Of the teeth show where
the rock has worn away.

McCLEARY AIRS HIS VIEWS
DECLARES IN EFFECT THAT Reel
PRoCITY WITH CANADA CAM
NOT BE ACCOMPLISHED.

Luverne, Mimi, Nov. 2.-Congress-
man McCleary addressed well-attend-
ed meeting here last night.
In regard to reciprocity with Canada,
Mr.. McCleary attempted to show
that the object of Canada is to secure
for its farm products free admission to
our markets, while the object Of certain
manufacturers is to gain that and ad-
mission to Canada for their manufac-
tured products eve will never con-
sent to what Canada wants and she
will not consent to what we want, :"
he said.
AS to- "free lumber,' Mr.. MeCleary
said that those manufacturers who
want to have the duty removed from
farm products and yet keep the duty
on their manufactures are short
sighted and wrong. Equally so are
those farmers who want to have the
duty removed from articles that they
buy but desire to have the duty kept on
the things that they sell.
"That,V said Mr.. McCleary, els
simply the democratic view expressed
in 1880 by General Hancock when he
was running for the presidency, that
the tariff is a local issue The re-
publican view is that the tariff is a
great national policy -. -.

Intelligent Voting.
o the Editor of the Journal.

To the Editor of the Journal.
The folly, of dragging national issues
into state and local politics Is becoming
evident to the citizen marvelously fast.
1t was but a few years ago that such
a thing as anon partizan voters league
after the order Of the Municipal Voters
league, or the Legislative Voters league of
Chicago, which have since been copied in
this and many other cities, would have
been unthinkable, not to say impossible.
Now, nearly every considerable city boasts
one or more such organizations.
At first the leagues contented them
selves with influencing the nominations, If
possible, and If they were not successful
in this, then they became balance Of
power party, seeking to control votes
enough to throw the election to the more
acceptable candidate. rssr .-..
70 But they lived and learned Soon It be-
came evident that often they would have
no desirable candidate nominated by
either Of the dominant parties, to whom
they could give their influence. They be-
gan to appreciate that while immediate
results had been their prime purpose. 1t
was extremely desirable that the mana
gers of all political parties, small and
great, should understand that the league
stood for certain things In the political
field in which it was organized to operate.
and that, if certain party candidates and
platforms were silent on the local issues
they would support men and parties that
| were awake to the local conditions and
needs. In effect they said. 1--WE will wir
this year if we can; but there will be
! another election"
After adopting this policy Of action they
began to be felt as a real power in poll
! tics. For, if both Of the dominant parties
failed to adopt satisfactory principles. o,
nominate satisfactory candidates as con.
| corning local matters, they must expect
| a powerful and intelligent opponent il
the form of some minority party, with the
league as an allied power. -

EMPIRE STATE IS
FOR ROOSEVELT
Walter Wellman Follows Lead of
Journal Man in His
TX Forecast. xr5,
New York Sun Special Service.


Chicago, Nov. 2:--Walter Wellman, in
New York special to the Record-Her-
The empire state will give it's electoral
vote to Roosevelt and Fairbanks. OF
this there is no doubt whatever in my
mind. In many past campaigns the
dency, governorship or mayoralty in
New York and always correctly. 1t is,
Of course, possible that the record of &C.
curacy may be broken this time. But
the indications of republican success are
to ignore them. For weeks / thought
this state was so close that either side
might win it. then expressed the opin-
ion that while President Roosevelt
would probably win by $4,000 or 10000
plurality, he was not out of danger,
and the republican state ticket was
likely to be defeated.
Now, after the campaign has devel-
opel, and I have had further oppor-
tunity to look into it, it is my judg-
ment that Roosevelt will carry the state
by 6 plurality ranging from $4,000 to
smaller figure, Herrick (dem;) will be
elected governor; if near the larger
Higgins may pull thru. For the differ
ence, between Roosevelt and Higgins
bids, fair to be as much as $4,000 OF
possibly 10000.
according Gc my INFORMATION gain
cred from both parties, with my per
sonnl observation and Judgment added
thereto, the balloting a week from to
day will show as follows:
Greater, New York from 100000 t.
$4,000 plurality for Parker.
Up state from 100000. to 165,00
plurality for Roosevelt.
Minimum plurality for Roosevelt, 25
900.
Maximum plurality for Roosevelt, CO.
600.

The result was notquickly attained, yet,
before long, 1t was mo I'm commo on thing to
find officials high in the councils OF OPP,

posed to both. And why not? The domi-
riant parties have no principles at issue
in state and local affairs, and there are
state and local matters that demand at
tention. But the common citizen, and the
politician who has more patriotism than
partyism, have sseensy visions and dreamed

wHAF OTHER PEOPLE THINK
The Gross Earnings TAX.


To the Editor of The Journal.
The iniquity of the tax on the gross earnings
Of railways consists In the fact that it is paid by
their patrons, and Is discrimination against
the remote and poorer communities and in favor
of the richer commercial centers.
The same rule of taxation cannot equitably
be applied to public-service corporations and to
retail stores To the farmer who ships car
OF wheat to Minneapolis or Duluth, there Is no
question but that he pays portion of the gross
earnings tax. And If he ships car of gro
cer1es In return, he makes another contribution
to the welfare of the state. LIT catches him
going and catches him coming"
NO one Will claim that either the Wholesale or
retan merchant pays this tax; 1T Is saddled
upon the ultimate consumer. But the foreign
consumer OF Minnesota wheat having the broad
plains of Russia or of Argentina to draw upon,
recks not of the cost Of production or transporta-
ton to us, but must sell, at the world
price. 6-s 10 :
Possibly one reason Of the enormous growth
and wealth Of the twin cities at the falls and
at the lakes Is their immunity from this form of
taxation. -
railways cannot be gainsaid: at plucks the
goose 30 gently that 1t does not squawk." Sc
we Will damn the railways for extortionat tie
| charges and at the SEINE time vote for 4, 1C
or 1OO per cent tax on their gross earnings!

Fergus Falls, Mimi, Oct. 20.
This is the second communication re-
Gently from the same source on this sub
| Ject. The writer thereof and r h u r
n a are not likely to agree, and the dis
cussion cannot be indefinitely prolonged
This correspondent, however, is afforded
another opportunity to express his dis
approval Of the gross earnings tax OF
railroads. s -. -.
There Is just one point that he has deal
upon with reference to which we wish t
remark. He thinks the gross earning
system Is not equitable because it afford
the larger cities an advantage over tn
balance of the state. He takes a peculia
way to reach that conclusion. AS mat
ter Of fact If the railroads were take
direct on their properties, the valuabl
terminals, rolling stock. shops, office:
etc., would be taxed for the benefit of lo
cal improvements and go to swell the lc
!, cal valuation, while the rural conlmun
ties, having only the right Of way, wit
an occasional depot building. would lie
rive comparatively little benefit from tn
existence Of valuable railroad property |
the state. The local tax would go int
the local treasury, as 1t does in the cas-
of other property. AS it is, however, tt
entire tax paid by the railroads goes int
the state trea sury and the whole stat
Is benefited alike. Internationally, If
were in the power Of the cities owning tt
! valuable terminals to- change the basis
taxation from the gross earnings to- tt
4 direct system, they would be glad to {
