EUROPE IS GOOD
President Makes Address at
Opening of College in
Pennsylvania.

CAMBRIDGE SPRINGS, Pa. Oct 2s.
President Taft was guest of honor
at the dedication of the Polish National
Alliance College. the first institution to
be established wholly for the education
Of the Polish youth In America. here to-
day. The dedication was made the oc-
casion for a great demonstration of the
Polish National Alliance, which has
established the college and undertaken
its maintenance.
The main building of the new college
formerly was an immense summer
hotel, which was purchased by the
Polish organization for $780, The in
stitution is to be a college for the sons
of workingmen, whose means would not
permit higher education, and which In
this Institution will be furnished at
small cost.
President Taft sketched at length
the history of the Polish people and
the record OF their work which he
characterized as the story Of wen
derful people. He then said:
qualities that we can well afford to
incorporate into the composite Amer
lean citizen that our policy of nn-
tional hospitality Is creating. Having.

consideration when they are them
selves the objects of II.
I'VE are suffering from a congestion
of labor In the large cities and a dearth
of labor In the country. We need farm
laborers. The increase In the value of
the products of the soil and the better
emoluments now derived from farming,
are in the end certain to attract far.
mers and laborers to the country, and
In this movement there are no people
in the world who are better adapted to
be successful than the Poles.
II cannot close without some refer
ence to the question of immigration,
and the attitude that ought TO be taken
by the lovers OF our country. I am one
OF those who believe that America is
greatly better In her present condition.
and will have still greater advantage In
the future, because Of the infusion into
our body. political and social, OF the
sturdy peasantry and the better edu-
Gated classes who have come to us from
the nations of Europe.
"I am proud of our country that We
have had its doors swinging easily open
to the Industrious peoples OF other coun-
tries that have sought ours for greater
happiness and quicker development.
and he would be blind indeed who would
deny that a substantial part OF our pl o.
gress is due to this policy OF generosity y
toward those who are seeking the at
mosphere of freedom and the land OF
equal opportunity"

and apprehend the criminal, but, in
the eye of the law, the residence of
a foreign minister or ambassador is
as sacred as the soil of his native
land. In the case of these little
street gamins, however, It is beneath
the dignity of the legations to take
notice Of them, except to 'shoo' them
away: they would not permit us to
chase them around their premises.
And SO, when the boys skip OF there,
we have to grin and bear it. In the
