The latest feast of the Ak-Sar-Ben
governors was enlivened by merry
making over the term corporation
cormOrant' as applied to legislative
lobbyists and Doodle distributors. One
of the speakers sought to impress the
assembled knights with the idea that the
term as applied to professional railroad
lobbyists and cappcrs was misnomer
and a reflection upon reputable corpora
ton counselorS and managers. AS a
matter of fact the appellation is apropos.
A cormorant, like the vulture, is bird
OF prey. The corporation cormorant is
a political bird of prey that prostitutes
It's talents to the debauchery of public
officials, lawmakers, executives, juries
and judges even. and is more dangerous
to society and to the social fabric 10y far
than the footpad, the porch climber or

Is RUSSIA FACING RANKRrPrCYl

~ NJ ''iA 4 h'A'' II hNh NJ fI'if
The declaration by the revolutionary
element IN Russia that the national
treasury is bankrupt is not without a
substantial basis. according to recent
reports of financial conditions there. \
few days ago it was reported that the
imperial bank had an insufficient supply
of gold to cover its note issues and
about the same time II was stated that
the government was unable TO repay to
a syndicate of German capitalists the
S93 OO0, 900 borrowed early i'm the present
year To continue the war with Japan
This was n shortterm loan, payable on
demand. These circumstances and the
steady decline of Russian securities in
the European markets very pointedly in
dictate that financial crash in Russia is
imminent.
Russia is the greatest debtor nation
in the world, her public debt being ap-
prOximately $1,000. 100000, of which
more than half has been borrowed
abroad. Her interest account amounts
10 Sl75OO0O00 annually, two-thirds of
which is paid out To foreign creditors.
This is now making heavy drain upon
the financial resources of the country,

THE CHRISTMAS ATMOSPHERE.

THE CHRISTMAS ATMOSPHERE.
The Christmas atmosphere again en-
velopes the land and it is an atmosphere
which breeds the spirit of happiness that
grows out of making others happy. The
ingredients of the Christmas atmosphere
must be different from those of the at
mosphere at other seasons of the year
because they produce such different re-
suits, in human kind. The Christmas
atmosphere is all-pervading. 1t pene-
trates the palace and the hovel-it per-
meates the home and the store-it eX-
hilarates young and old. TO breathe
deeply of the Christmas atmosphere is
more effective tonic to the health than
all the prescriptions administered by
medical science-its inhalation is more
stimulating than intoxicants and at the
same time less noxiOus than the limpid
water of the purest spring. The Christ
mas atmosphere defes storm and rain
and wind and spreads it beneficence
equally without regard to temperature.
It comes and goes whether invited or
unbidden and leaves its trail of smiles
and mirth and joy ineffaceable by the
sterner realities of life.

overhanging Omaha's prosperity in the

A HAPPY W. ".
REUNION
SOUTH DAKOTA EDITOR
FOUND HIS MOTHER
They Had Been Separated for Nearly
Twenty Three Years, and Efforts to
Find Each Other Had Been Unsuc-
cessfuI-Reunion Joyous Occasion.

Aberdeen, S. D., March 25.-After a
separation of twenty-three years Mrs.
William Wallace of Belle Fourcne, S.
D., and her son, John H. Lenay, editor
of The Journal, at Worthwhile, S. D.,
have become united. Twenty
years ago Lemay, whose right name is
John Humphert, then boy of 10, be-
came angered at some fancied grievance
and ran away from home. Wandering
to North Dakota he was finally adopted
by man named Lemay, taking the
name of John Humphert Lemay. Shortly
after his adoption he underwent a Sc
we're attack of sickness, and upon his re-
covcry found that his memory of the
past had completely left him. He could
not remember the name or residence of
his motner-the past was an absolute
blank. In time he learned the printers
trade, finally locating at Worthwhile,
i. where for several years he has publish
ed The Journal and where he married,
becoming the father of one child. Since
growing to manhood Mr. Lemay has
spared no effort to discover the where
abouts of his mother, but was unsuc-
cessfu until recently, when, through the
good Offices Of Judge Bennett of Dead
wood. he found her. she having renar-
| ricd in the meantime. her present name
being Wallace The reunion between
the long separated mother and son was
a joyful one, as each had long mourned
the other as probably dead.

MRS. CHADWICK TESTIFIED
AT BANKRUPTCY HEARING

Cleveland, March 25.-In the bank
ruptcy court here Mrs Cassie L. Chad
wick detailed some of her financial tran
sactions in the course Of an examination
by Louis ]. Grossman, acting for Trus-
tee Nathan Loeser.
Mrs. Chadwick said that she was not
able to give as many details of these
transactions as she would like to be-
cause of the absence of papers which
were held in number Of cities. She
had sent for. the papers and expected
to have them when the hearing is con-
tinued next Tuesday.
Mrs. Chadwick testified that her total
indebtedness would not exceed $4,000.

sons, she had received only $4,000,
leaving $233,ooo for commissions to
money lenders. She said she owed ccr-
tain banks in Cleveland 100000. The
names of these institutions she was will
ling to give to Mr.. Loeser, trustee for
the creditors, privately. She said that
the sum actually secured by her from
Herbert d. Newton, of Brookline, Mass,
was $2S.ooo in cash and notes for $50
COO, for which she gave note for
$Ieoooo.
From J. w. Friend, of Pittsburg, she
borrowed $4,000 and gave him her note
for $15o,ooo. A friend. Mrs. Chadwick
said, arranged other loans for her ag-
gregatlng $G5oooo for which she gave
a note for ST. $4,000, and put up as surety
lewelry worth from $4,000 to $4,000.
The Jewelry was later appraised at $42,-
ooo
The examination disclosed additional
assets of 100000. OF this amount $50
600 is due from Charles Stewart, of
Cleveland, and $4,000 worth of jewel
ry held by Wolfe Bros Of Belgium. Mrs.
Chadwick stated there arc other assets
consisting of jcwclry and valuable as
sets held by various persons for her.

HansbrOugh Long on Chairmanships

Washington, March 25-Deaths and
retfrements from the senate have played
havoc with several Of the important
committees in that body, and thor
ough organization will be necessary at
the beginning Of THE new congress next
winter. Senator Hansbrough has an
embarrassment Of riches in respect to
the number Of cliairnlanships that are
open to him. He is at present at the
head Of the important committee on
public lands, but there is d strong de-
sire that he take The Craftsmanship 81. the
committee on irrigation and reclamation,
Of arid lands. He can also be chairman
Of the committee on agriculture, of
which he is the ranking member now,
ii case lie chooses to give tip his other
ellairinaiisliip. Senator Proctor. who is
the chairman Of the committee oil agri-
culture, will probably retire to devote
more time TO the Craftsmanship Of The
military affairs committee.
Il There Is an embarrassing situation iii
regard to the irrigation committee.
Senator Bard, the chairman, IS no long
Ter 4 member of The senate and Senator
Stewart voluntarily retired to private

circumstances. The next in order is

ator Ankeny Of Washington, but there
will be great opposition to his appoif,t-

point another mar

|inanship. Il 81 81 q
In case Senator Hansbrough should
finally decide 10 take the cliairfnanship,
he could probably be Of some service
TO his state III this connection. North
Dakota has contributed more than any
other state to the federal irrigation
fund, through the sales Of public lands,
and there are some reclamation pro-
jecfs in this state which he could prob
ably help along iii case he took the M
fuential place at the head Of the senate
irrigation committee.
