To The Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: When Mr.. Shonts became the responsible
head Of the local transportation system the public
was inclined to give him a fair chance TO carry
out the benevolent designs which he promptly an
uOunCad. I hear great many persons say
that, so far from having made good Mr.. Shonts
has let things 60 stiI further TO the bad. On the
Madison avenue line at least, S many are
Withdrawn from use after the height OF the rush
IS over that the consequent Crowding and delay at
times when the service ought 70 be prompt and
comfortable are most exasperating. II IS certain
that many persons because Of this state Of affairs
walk instead OF riding when they have only short
distance to GO and tho company loses the fares
which they would otherwise pay. believe that II
Mr.. Shouts should stop this policy which Is doubt

would certainly escape a vast amount OF curstng.

THE NATIONAL FLOWER.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: In your esteemed paper Of juno is maize has
ing TO article OF July WilIet NJ Hayes. Assist
ant Secretary Of Agriculture has seconded the mo-
ito.
The great beneficial qualities Of the Indian corn
are enumerated and described. and conceds them
all without reserve. However. they do not con-
vince me that the Indian corn plant should be
selected the national flower
Gladstone once remarked. during debate before
Parliament: a gentleman may be very able
general. but that would be no reason TO make him
Archbishop of Canterbury"
We have here 10 deal with a parallel proposition.
Nobody Will deny that the Indian corn is one OF the
great factors OF national wealth. but that
should not make the corntassei the national flower;
with the exception of botansts hardly anybody else
considers and calls 1t a flower at all And II We
should select II as our national flower the humOr-
lists OF other countries would proclaim that we
had adopted the 'whIskey flower" as our national
emblem.
A majority OF people will agree with that the
national flower should be chosen from higher
motives than the consideration OF dollars and cents
The conditions determnal for the selection should
be that the flower, besides being Indigenous 70 the
country must be a stately flower, OF indisputable
beauty, and one not already adopted by any other
country For this reason the rose and the lily, FOR
instance. are excluded.
The columbine deserves our admiration so does
tha golden flower Of the dandelion which two have
also been proposed IN your paper for the honor.
but there are numbers Of others, more beautiful,
which take precedence OF those. The mountain
laurel the American rhododendron, fills all the re-
quireUents and deserves the preference over all
competitors for the beauty and richness Of its
clustered blossoms and the noble shape OF its 70
iage. II offers to the painter and the sculptor
very desirable forms for their artistic treatment

SHANGHAI MISSION CONFERENCE.
Centenary Meeting of Chinese Workers Took
Important Steps.

The Information which continues 10 pour into
f.5r country regarding the recent centenary con-
r. OF missionary workers and leaders in
shat, China. which was reported in these col
U4las some time ago, goes 70 show that It a
most important gathering. II is said that for the
first time in the history of missions the Chinese
government willing Of its own accord TO make
advances TO the missionary body and to recognize
the missionaries as friends, ana not, Il had
done up To that time. mere iutrUders. Three
important viCeroys sent special representatives to

work the missionaries are doing for the Chinese
The conference celebrated the centenary of Nor
TisOl's landing in China His first years were
spent IN study and preparation for his real work.
and X was not until about 1910 II is said, that
concerted missionary work was begun IN the en-
pire
one Of the most important steps taken 1T this
conference was the recommendation that the mis-
sionary boards OF the various denominations agree
10 the organization OF the Chinese Christians into
distinctly Chinese churches separate IN every way
from those Of the home land. II provided in
the recommendation. however, that the mission
aries should have representation on the governing
boards Of these churches until they should be in 4
position TO assume the full responsibilities Of self
support and self-goveTRment. II was decided 70
form at once q federal union of all Christian
churches in China. under the name of the Chris
tlan Federation Of China
While II IS not expected that organic union OF all
the churches IN China Will be effected AT once
there IS question n the minds OF religious lead
ers OF America and England that this IS what the
missionaries had in mind when their resolutions
drawn. Those who favor the union Of diff
ferent denominations IN this country say that the
a marked Influence on union movements here
Other missionary countries are also likely To be
affected.
Statistics presented to the conference showed that
there are eighty-tTyo boards and societies now
conducting mission work IN China, with 5s33 mis-
sionaries besides native workers There are u.s.
Isl baptized Christians end 7s52s catechunens.
while 576s2 Chinese pupils being taught in
