The Roar of China,s Ducks.

Tourists in China are always sur
prised by the number of ducks they
see. There are more ducks in China
than in all the rest of the world.
Their voices are a familiar sound in
every town and country spot of the
seacoast and the interior of the vast
empire. Even in the large cities ducks
abound. They dodge between the cool
les legs. They fit squawking out of
the way of the horses. Their indig-
nant quack will not unseldom drown
the roar of urban commerce. Children
herd ducks on every road, on every
pond. on every farm. on every lake. on
every river. There is no back yard
without its duck house There is no
boat, little or great. without its duck
quarters. All over the land there are

New Jersey, that so often is but an

Perhaps it would be no loss If we gave

Professor Wilson has come out
squarely for progressive policies all
along the line. His campaign has been
