I human Side Of the News - ByEdwin c. T I'LL

The Cardiff Giant is with us
again, making a comeback"
after a rest of a quarter Of a
century, during which time he
reposed in the dark and the
dust of a warehouse in Fort
Dodge, Iowa.
They have taken him out on
a tour of the State and county
fairs of the Middle West where
the farmers and their wives,
for the usual nominal fee, can
gaze upon him and forget the
drought.
Here follows the history Of
'The Cardiff Giant-The Amer
lean Goliath - A Wonderful
Geological Discovery:
On October is, 1869, William
C. Newell, a farmer of Cardiff,
N. Y, IS miles south of the city
of Syracuse and near a reserva-
ton of Onondaga Indians, was
digging a we'll with two helpers.
About three feet below the
surface they struck what they
took to be the skeletons of In
dianS.
However, further excavation
revealed figure, buried up
right, which measured 10 feet,
seven inches high, three feet
across the shoulders and weighed
5000 pounds.
The discovery astounded the
country. Five hundred persons
a day rushed from all parts of
the United States to look
upon it.
Newell took in $28 an hour
the first day, and the railroads
stopped their trains to give the
passengers an opportunity to
see the wonder of the day.
And everyone who gazed had
his own explanation of what it
was. The State agent for the
Indians offered this theory:
The Onondagas believe the
statue is the petrified body of a
gigantic Indian prophet, who
flourished centuries ago and
who said that he would be seen
again"
The excavatorS insisted that
it was a petrified man, and to
back their claims. pointed out
to the twisted posture of the
limbs and the pores in the skin.
For a short time the biologists
were a bit puzzled, but within a
week. DR.. John F.. Boynton was
to announce that the thing was
a statue "cut from a piece of
Sulphate of lime and quarried
probably somewhere in this
country from gypsum beds"

followed this up with the sug-
gestion that the Cardiff Giant

Political Warning
A Mockery

The notice of the Civil Service Commission calling the
attention of Government employees to the prohibition
against their engaging in political activity is particu
larly necessary this year.
IT IS NOT so NECESSARY TO THE OLD LINE
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES TO WHOM THE RULES
APPLY, BUT IT ASSUMES GREAT IMPORTANCE AS
A REMINDER TO THE MYRIAD OF NEW AND
UNCLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES THAT, WHILE THEY
MAY NOT BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE RULES,
THEY HAVE MORAL OBLIGATION WHICH IS
STRONGLY IMPLIED BY THE PHILOSOPHY LEAD
ING TO THE ADOPTION OF THE REGULATIONS.
The danger of participation in political affairs by Gov
eminent employees has long been recognized.
The manner in which the New Deal" is functioning
Increases that danger
Throughout the country have myriads of Gov
eminent employees who putting the finger of govern
mental supervision and restriction all manner of
tivity.
Business agriculture industry, all touched init
mately by some Government employe.
It can readily be what tremendous force these
employees could exert for candidates. They could by the
improper use of the power which Government has taken
over the Individual and his affairs virtually control the
political aspect in almost any community.
UNFORTUNATELY THE GREAT MAJORITY OF
THESE GOVERNMENT employees WHO ARE d.
RECTLY SUPERVISING BUSINESS ARE NOT AMEN
ABLE TO THE STRINGENT RULES WHICH GOV
ERN THE POLITICAL ACTIVITY OF CIVIL SER
VICE EMPLOYEES.
They appointed without regard to the merit system
Their jobs usually the reward for their political
tivity of the past.
In order continue to deserve their jobs under such
system of appointment it is not unnatural for these
appontees to believe that continued political activity is
necessary
There are certain laws which designed to prevent
the fragrant abuse of the power which rests in these
employees by virtue of their office.
The Civil Service Commission in its warning directs
attention to them.
It is to be regretted that these laws not stronger
and comprehensive. They difficult of enforce
ment and honored in the breach than in the
observance by some of the spoils appontees.
THE LESSON WHICH COMES FROM THE NO.
TICE OF THE COMMISSION, HOWEVER, IS FAR
REACHING IT IS THE OLD DANGER OF THE Blu
REAUCRACY PERPETUATING ITSELF THROUGH
THE POWER WHICH IT GRAsPs FROM THE
PEOPLE,
THIS IS A PROBLEM WHICH Is GOING TO HAVE
TO BE DEALT WITH WITH THE UTMOST VIGOR.

defendant 10 her knowledge had not
attempted an illegal operation upon
Miss Mills nor had administered
medicines 10 her.
II was in Mrs. Browns home that
Miss Mills died July 10. Mrs. Brown
had been pointed 10 as the states
chief witness.

tables yesterday. however, when AS

Dudley succeeded in introducing as
part OF the states evidence CHASTITY
