A MONTANA GIRLS STORY.
0eorgiana Billings Corresponded With
4 New York MilIionaire--Led to
Her Adoption--She rlay
Become Great Artist.

New York, Jan. 21.-Alfred De Cor
dova, millionaire broker and
one of the most noted of the Wall
street operators, announced today that
he has adopted Georgiana Billings of
Montana as his daughter and will
make her his heiress. Miss Billings |
is 16 years old and lived until few |
weeks ago on her fathers sheep ranch |
40 miles south Of Helena. When she
was years. old she read something in
a newspaper to the effect that Mr.. De
Cordova has the finest collection of
pigeons in America. She wrote let
ter to the millionaire telling him she
had long been anxious to get some
pigeons, but she was too poor to buy
them. She had, however, some white
mice and if Mr.. De Cordova would ex-
change some pigeons for some of her
white mice she would be very grateful.
The letter was SO childishly plaintive
that it touched the brokers' heart. He
! has no children of his own. He sent
lIC plkCOAS W Ills A1lllS correspondent
and told her to keep the mice. The
child wrote to him regularly and Mr..
| De Cordova always answered prompt
! ly. Then the girl began sending some
pen and ink sketches of sheep, birds,
and other animals. Mr.. De Cordova
showed these sketches to art critics
such as Harry Watrous of the Art Stu
dents League and Frederic Reming-
ton. They said the drawings indicat~
ed great talent, if not genius. When
the artists learned they were the work
of little girl on ranch in Montana
they declared it was too bad she could
not get the benefit of artistic study in
one Of the great schools. After con-
sulting with his wife Mr.. De Cordova
made proposition to the parents Of
the girl to adopt her and take her art
education into his own hands. His
proposition was accepted and the girl
came to New York. She is stopping
with friends of Mr.. De. Cordova and
is studying at the Art Students League
Not until she arrived here had she
seen painting.
Mr.. and Mrs De Cordova had never
met the girl until she arrived at the
Grand Central station. 1t had beer
arranged that when she got here sh,
should wear knot of ribbon on he1
shoulder so they could recognize her

favors tax equalization recommended

AFRAID TO TRUST The PEOPLE

The Oshkosh Northwestern, tina 4
which there is no more able daily paper
in the state, in the following editorial
comment, says what every observing
man knows to be the honest bottom
facts in the fractional situation in this
stat today:
The wealthy corporations are always
afraid to trust the dear people in the
matter of reforms relating TO capital.
and as soon as any plan is started which
seems des tined to affect the corporation
interests there is invariably n flank
movement to distrs ct attention and
cause confusion and wrangling over
some minor side issue until the real
danger to capital is passed and the
original plan is either temporarily drop
ped or entirely forgotten
That, in nutshell, il the real secret
of the tangled political situation in this
state today 1t is not that the Iepuhli-
can party is in danger, or that the gov
ernor failed TO show q proper degree of
respect and Difference to the state legis-
lators The plain truth OF the matter
IL that the corporations thought hey
were in danger and although this danger
was rot at first considered really serious
or alarming, the high priced and ever
watchful guardians of thu interests of
banded capital decided TO take no
chances by allowing even q small start
in the line OF what to them always APP
pears to be an encroachment of natural
rights. For one of the first principles in
the management of capital is never to
yield anything until forced to do so.
And so the usual fight was started
against the primary election and tax
reform measures, for as a matter of
convenience and strategy they had been
yoked together in order to secure q
united opposition. And while the clever
manipulati0ns were going on q great
cIoud of dust was raised to obscure the
sight of the people to the real play that
was being worked behind the scenes.
And the corporation interests won out,
rs they usually do in matters OF this
kind.
And then in order to cl;nch the con-
troll of state leg -latio1 and entrench
themselves against future encroach
meats the same interests proceeded to
adroitly and cunningly contfive an or
ganization which world gather beneath
its banner all those who for any reason
were dissatisfied with the party man
agement in the state By this trick a
majority of the republican Legislators
were induced to take step which in nc
other way would have been possible.
Each legislator who differed from the
general party program in any particular
was made to feel that the new move.
ment would aid and assist his individual
beliefs and plans And the result ia 9
| new republican state organization which
while pretending that its object and ex
cuse Is opposition to the methods of tht
present state organization, in reality
represents the corporation interests il
their opposition TO corporation reforms

rREAsoN AGAINST THE REPUBLIC.

The exclamation of the assassin who
shot down the president; Il am an
anarchist ! have done my duty
brings forciby before us the absolute
necessity of dealing in drastic man
ner with those who esteem duty and the
assassination of high officials synony-
nous. To the great reluctance of the
American people to in any way interfere
with the right of free speech can be at
tributed the tolerance with which the
anarchists have been treated in this
country. The right Of free speech ID
dear to the American citizen, but no
longer can this be construed as giving
men of the Czolgosz stripe license to
plot the destruction of men whom the
nation has elevated to high office The
exclamation of Czolgosz is the epitome
of the anarchists creed; it means; Il
believe in murder, and will kill when
can" The remedy lies in deporting
or imprisoning those who make profes
sion of the anarchist creed. This is the
first step, but it is an important one. It
is the recognition of a long-obscured
fact that there can be high treason
against republic.
The urging of proper laws, or insist
ence on the enforcement g laws on the
statute books, is one thing, something
fully within the right of every citizen.
But the preaching of anarchy is quite
another matter, Unchristian, un-Ameri-
can. uncalled for La Crosse Chronicle.
