American.” A congress of repre- sentatives of thirty-cight State federations of women’s clubs, at the National Arts Club in New York City, takes up the still un- national flower” question, and upholds the mountain laurel for the floral emblem of our country. sea With both of these interesting and well-meant propositions the | fandamental trouble is that calling a thing something does not make it eo. But a lot of argument, backed by solid reasons, is always re- quired before we get down to the fundamental, so let’s give the “nays” a bearing on the two questions raised. Evidently “American” language is not all that is required for | the making of a great American opera, else a triumph would have greeted “Poia,” the Indian war-whoop piece by Messrs. Hartley and Nevin, of this city, which was “roasted” in Berlin last season. How- | ever, Victor Herbert is going to try out nearer home another work in the same vein, entitled “Natoma,” which still may convince some. But if our esteemed correspondent’s theory were put. in prac- tice, and only “American” language spoken in the United States, then Spanish would have to be “South American,” and the subjects of Porfirio Diaz couldn’t understand anything but “Mexican.” The English language would suddenly die out all over the world, to be replaced by “Cockney,” “Yorkshire,” “Scotch,” “Irish,” “Welsh,” | “Australasian” and “Canadian.” As for the mountain laurel as “national flower,” its pretensions @re withered by Frederick LeRoy Sargent, a former professor of botany at Harvard, and president of the Columbine Association. Prof. Sargent shows that the mountain laurel is an impossible can- didate, because it is chock-full of andromedo-toxin, a deadly poison more powerful than strychnine— and besides, it is singularly lack- ing in patriotic associations, and has never come very near to the hearts of our people. Still, in booming the colum- bine, the professor does practically admit that a good, wholesome hardy, widely - disseminated na- tional flower might fill a long- felt want. Then why not take something | tru and practical # | Kither the Indian corn tassel or | the Connecticut tobacco leaf would do. Our colonial forefathers rather fancied the pine tree until they got busy with real fighting American Such Is Life.
