They tell pie he's rich." ?'Yes," said the soldler. "I was talking to him the oth? er day. He told me he swum Snake river once." "That's right." Mid tho ferryman.

Baron Rosen Says IxM Slavs Get Out of War and Suggests Conference of Allies to Discuss Peace. Petrograd, June 2 via London, June 3.?In a long declaration published in todays Dyen, Baron Rosen, former Russian ambassador to the United States, and former member of the Council of the Empire, suggests as a mei.ns of exit for Russia 'from her present chaos by means of a diplo? matic 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 tho war promises to develop into a slow process of more or less general ex? haustion of both sides. "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? tion; 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 a shameful peace if we de? fer following the only course con? formable with dignity und honker. We must abandon the use of words which mean nothing clear and definite, and begin a diplomatic conference with the allies and United States, which will disclose fully and specifically what conditions of peace will satisfy them and at the same time be in ac? cordance with the spirit of the deter? mination of the temporary govern? ment and the principles proclaimed by President Wilson." Patriotism. Politics and Profits. (From the New York World.) "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? cise the administration. No rumor is so silly, no gossip is so idle, that it does not lind a ready welcome in The Tribune's columns piovided it tends j to discredit the president or mem? bers of his cabinet. The Tribune resembles 'many of the other war-at-any-price patriots. It Aas clamorous for war until war 'ame, but since that time it has de? moted its energies not to fighting Ger? many but to lighting the administra? tion. The kaiser used to be the source of all the evil that The Tribune ?ould conjure up; now it is the pres? ident. The Tribune is strong for conscrip? tion. It believes the government should have unlimited power to draft citizens into the army and send them ~>y the hundreds of thousands to die In the trenches; but while there must :<e 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 lemma government, printing news that will assist the German spies in doing their work and making it more difficult for the United States success? fully to carry on the war, that priv? ilege must not be interfered with. If the president ceeks to protect tho military secrets of the government, if he 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 in 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 assail the United States government. - I National Flowers. The national floral emblem of France is the fleur-de-lis; of Engjand, 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. ! - ? Birthdays. Little Peter, who had had his first experience of a death in the family, recently, and whose most vivid Impres? sions had been those of birthday par? ties, sat thinking about these widely contrasting features of life.
