National Flowers,

The national floral emblem Of
France is the fleur-de-lis; Of England,
the rose. Spain has no Official floral
emblem, although the carnation is sup
posed to be the most popular flower.
The United States has no national
flower, but efforts have been made to
have the abundant goldenrod adopted.
The public school children of Ala
bama, Kentucky, Missouri and Ne
braska have adopted it officially as
the state flower. Georgia, Iowa. North
Dakota and New York have adopted
various kinds Of roses. Other flowers,
including the violet, bitter root, rho
dodendron and mountain laurel, have
been chosen by other states. The
flower most associated with the Con.
federate states probably was the mag.
nolla blossom.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Patriotism, Politics and Profits.
(From the New York Worldly

(From the New York Worldly
What the administration fears and
is trying to suppress is domestic criti-
cism," shrieks our neighbor The Trib-
une. is it? We have heard Of no ef-
forts to suppress The Tribune, and yet
The Tribune does nothing but criti-
else the administration. No rumor is
so silly, no gossip is so idle, that It
does not find a ready welcome in The
Tribune's columns provided it tends
to discredit the president or. men,
bers of his cabinet.
The Tribune resembles many of
the other war-at-any-price patriots. II
was clamorous for war until war
came, but since that time it has de-
voted its energies not to fighting Ger
many but to fighting the administra-
ton. The kaiser used to be the
source of all the evil that The Tribune
could conjure up; now it is the pres
ident ....
The Tribune is strong for conscrip-
ton. 1t believes the government
should have unlimited power to draft
citizens into the army and send them
by the hundreds of thousands to die
in the trenches; but while there must
oe unlimited governmental authority
over individuals who are fit for can
non-fodder, there must be no govern.
mental authority over type and print
er's ink.
If anybody cares to run an Amer
ican newspaper for the benefit of the
ierman government printing news
that will assist the German spies in
doing their work and making it more
difficult for the United States success
tully to carry on the war, that priv
ilege must not be interfered with. IL
the president seeks to protect tho
military secrets of the government. IL
ne urges a censorship that is mild and
temperate in comparison with that to
which the French and British press
has willingly submitted, he is endeav-
oring to put the United States under
a despotic censorship as ruthless as
that which obtains today i'm Prussia"
There are various eminent patriots
IN The Tribune's class. They were
eager for war until they discovered
that war might interfere with their
profits or politics. Then they all turn
ed in and began to assaiI the United

Baron ROsen Says Let Slavs Get Out
OF War and Suggests Conference Of
Allies to Discuss Peace.

Petrograd, June via London, June
3.-In long declaration published In
today's Dyen, Baron Rosen, former
Russian ambassador to the United
States, and former member of the
Council of the Empire, suggests as d
means of exit for Russia from her
present chaos by means Of a diplo-
matte conference with the entente
allies to determine a possible basis
for peace with the central powers.
The original aims Of the war-the
complete ruin of the enemy, have be-
come hopeless, he declares, and the
war promises to develop into a slow
process Of more or less general ex-
haustion of both sides. ea
Russia is on the edge of a preci-
pice," says Baron .Rosen in his decla-
ration. Safety demands that she find
an exit before the growing anarchy
wrecks the country. .....
Those conditions are becoming
worse with increasing disorganiza-
ton; the enemy as well as the allies
are informed of that fact. We are
running the risk Of being abandoned
by the allies or left to the necessity
of making shameful peace if we de-
fer following the only course con-
formable with dignity and honor. We
