jamestown Exposition Grounds,
April 26.-In the course of his
speech at the opening of the exposi-
ton today, President Roosevelt said /:
For half century after we be-
came separate nation there was
comparatively little immigration to
this country. Then the tide once
again set nither and has flowed in
ever-increasing size until in each of
the last three years greater num-
Der Of people came to these shores
than had landed on them during the
entire colonial period. Generation by
generation these people have been
absorbed into the national life. Gen.
orally their sons. almost always
their grandsons. are indistinguisha-
BILE from one another and from their
American descended from
the colonial stock. For all alike the
problems of our existence are fun
damentaHy the same, and for all
alike these problems change from
generation to generation.
''In the colonial period, and for at
least century after its close, the
conquest OF the continent, the ex-
panslon of our people westward, to
the Alleghenies then TO the Missis-
sippi. then to the Pacific. was al
ways one of the most important
tasks, and sometimes the most inn
portant. in our national life. Behind
the first settlers tne conditions grew
easier, and in the older-settled re-
gions of all the colonies life speedily
assumed much Of comfort and some
thing of luxury; and though general
ly 1t was on much more democratic
basis than life in the old world, it
was by no means democratic when
