American Agriculturist. The ease with
which they are raised must make them

In one of the suburbs Of Boston is a
small but steadily growing duck farm

present she has a hundred ducks for

CLAPP FOR SENATOR

States senators and ex-senators;

Even before the investigation
closed, Senator Clapp presented bill
which provides that it should be un-
lawful for anybody, person, firm,
committee or corporation, to send
money from one state to another for
campaign purposes, except for tray
cling and ordinary expenses of speak
ers, thus cutting out the large con-
tributions which have in times gone

This bill has passed the senate of the
United States. Another bill by Sena-
tor Clapp .forbids any senator or
member of the house to solicit cam
paign funds for himself or any polit-
ical organization.
In the movement for the erection
of a government armor plate plant
and thus relieve the question of ma
tional defense from the influence of
private gain, thereby releasing the
hold that the armor plate and the
steel trust have had on Uncle Sam
for years, Clapp has been active from
the start until the bill passed the
senate. It was his vote in the COM
mittee on naval affairs that decided
the deadlock as between a govern
ment plant or allowing the trusts to
keep on, although after the bill pass
ed the armor plate people immediate
ly offered to sell their products to
the governmental $40 ton less than ,
the price they have been receiving.

in breeders, where they remain until
ready for the growing houses. The
young ducklings are very delicate, so
care must be taken to keep them warm
and free from chills The first three
weeks are the most critical. Once past
that age tie ducklings can be safely
counted upon for the market.
At six weeks the ducklings are placed
in the growing houses, where they are
pushed for market. The usual time for
marketing is when they are ten weeks
old, at which period they weigh four to
five pounds apiece. Occasionally one
will tip the scales at five and one-half
pounds. The best ducks are selected
for the next years breeders and layers

A Just Verdict.

The prompt aequittal of the defend

gratifying to the people of Washington,
especially the members of the business
community. who have felt that the
charge brought against these men was
preposterous. Their standing in the
business world has always been of tie
highest OF their personal integrity

ton They have contributed to tie
financial development Of the capital and
have earned the highest praise for their
devotion to its interests and their public

Kentucky's Democratic Chairman.

The Kentucky democrats at their
state convention the other day took the
bull by the horns on the subject of poll
ties and the judiciary. They went to
the bench for their chairman of the
state committee. He accepted, and will
serve. Judge Charles Hardin is tie
man. he will not retire from his jul
dieial place, but take on as additional
the political duties imposed.
Those duties will be important. and
may be onerous. 1t is conceded that
Kentucky is a close state. Had the re-
publicans stood together in 1912 they
would have won. Recovered as they
thought from the embarrassncnts OF
that year, the democrats last year in a
campaign for governor were expecting
a majority Of thirty five thousand. They
obtained four hundred odd. They are
entering this years campaign, therefore,
with feeling that they must hump
themselves. And, Of course, the chair.

Washington's Preparedness Parade.

Washington is to have a preparedness
parade Announcement is made today
of plan which was formed ut nfeet-
ing yesterday attended by represents
tives of various organizations who en-
Enthusiastically approved the idea of a
demonstration of the National CAPITAL
in favor of proper preparations for ma
tional defense. It is proposed to mold
this parade on the l4th of June. an an-
propriate date. inasmuch as that is Flag
day, dedicated to the national emblem.
President Wilson has given his approvHt
of the plan and the District Commits
sioners will bend their official energies
to the task of its execution.
Although the time is short, it is x
pected that everything can be arranged
satisfactorily for demonstration which
will manifest Washington's keen inter
est in and desire for an adequate de-
tense provision. There is abundant ma
terial here for such a manifestation. Of
uniformed bodies there are sufficient to
yield parade of imposing size. while it
is expected to align representative: Of
business Washington and the trades in
token of the universal sentiment for Sc
curity for the country.
Washington cannot, of course, turn
out as long a line of marchers as tho
larger cities. but it can at least express
its appreciation of the need of the time
in manner to arrest attention. This
is the ideal place for such a demon
stration 1t would be well, indeed, if 4
preparedness parade representative of
all the cities in the country could be held
in Washington to give Congress, now at
work upon the problem, an effective oh
iect lesson in the national spirit.
Those who are in charge of this en-
terprise are enthusiastic and have q
long record of achievements in line of
public demonstrations and works. Sue
.ess is assured. The only question is
how many there will be in the line and
how extensive will be the features of
the parade The Star is glad to have
been instrumental in inaugurating this
movement, which, it is believed, will ap
peal to all the people of Washington.

man Of the state committee must In
large measure shape the hump.
The convention was under the abso-
lutte control of the Presidents friends.
They Endorsed him and all his works
enthusiastically; and Judge Hardin for
chairman was named by them.
The action taken was not without pro-
test. Several prominent democratic
newspapers had advised against it, on
the score that it would drag the ju
dieial ermine into the mire of partisan
politics. Judge Hardin replied to this
in his speech of acceptance to the con
vention, in which he declared that
whenever the time comes that to be
member of a democratic committee OF
its head means that the judicial erminc
will be dragged in the mire of politics,
then should the committee he elevated
above such plane Not felicitouslJ
expressed, but one catches the meaning
of the speaker.
An added interest to the selection is
the suggestion that it points 70 Judge
Hardin as the next democratic candi-
date for governor. If he makes good in
his political office-he has already made
good on the bench-he will head his
party's state ticket three years hence.
If Justice Hughes is nominated az
Chicago he WILL of course. retire at once
from the bench and be free to re,
enter politics. Nevertheless, The demo.
Gratis will accuse his party of dragging
the judicial ermine into the miro OF
partisan politics, and Chairman Judge,
or Judge Chairman. Hardin will be call
ed upon to whoop up the boys in the
Bluegrass state in energetic reputation
of that sort of thing-on the part of
the republicans Which will add to tie
gayety of the campaign in a common
wealth where politics never lacks for
either gayety or ginger.
