...public affairs. Liberals at heart, they are dissatisfied with the political times and Merry-Go-Round is the expression of their dissatisfaction. Those who either wrote chapters of the book or materially contributed ideas and information are supposed to include (though each diplomatically denies it) Farmer Murphy and Drew Pearson of the Baltimore Sun, Robert S. Allen of the Christian Science Monitor, George Abell of the Washington Daily News, Charles Ross and Paul Y. Anderson of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Ray Tucker of the New York World-Telegram and Ruby Black, freelance...
Canadian sportsmen do not agree with your contributor, Dr. Thomas Gilbert Pearson,* that the principal reason for the shortage of ducks is the continued drought in the southern part of the three prairie Provinces, as there are large bodies of water in the northern portion of these provinces that annually contribute to the duck supply, sufficient grounds for all the ducks in the world to breed in.

Then it is necessary to examine what water is left and to see if it is sufficient for the purposes at may be hand. If it necessary is, to well...
...outbreak of the War, which he loudly and persistently damned. A badly dressed little man with a Hohenzollern mustache and a bawdy tongue, he found little to praise in America: "Oh, I say, what a dreadful country! What dreadful people! I say, Nellie, bring out the whisky." He edited Pearson's Magazine, got it barred from the mails, abandoned it and went to France to write his pornographic autobiography. He wrote always of Frank Harris, even when his subject was another man, but he remained less great than those he discovered. Of these the greatest was Shaw, whose biography...
