And Jacob dwelt in the land

: These are the generations OF
Jacob. Joseph. being seventeen
years old. was feeding the flock
with his brethren: and the lad was
with the sons of Bilhah. and with
the sons of Zilpah. his fathers
wives: and Joseph brought unto his
father their evil report.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more
than all his children, because he
was the son OF his old age: and
he made him a coat of many colours.
4 And when his brethren saw
that their father loved him more
than all his brethren, they hated
him. and could not speak peaceably
unto him.
5 4 And Joseph dreamed a dream,
and he told it his brethren: and they
hated him yet more.

dreamed:

Shalt thou indeed reign over us?

over us? And they hated him yet

words.

dream. and told it his brethren, and
said. Behold. have dreamed a

rebuked him. and said unto him.

Ignace Jan PaderewskI has re-
signed from the Premiership OF
Poland, having held that once for
almost exactly one year.
Mr.. Paderewski had been looked
upon by the world as a musician.
In fact, he. like a number OF other
highly intellectual Poles. was q
musician only so far a. his profess
sion was necessary to provide the
means for the steady agitation of
Polish independence over the whole
span of his life. Few people sus-
pected the tremendous capacity for
statesmanship. ability in negotIa-
tion, and. above all. the great quail
ity of emotional leadership pos
sessed by Mr.. Paderewski. As an
orator he has no superior in Europe
He has, during his twelve months in
public once. established a position
for himself among the ten or twelve
men who have come to the front in
Europe during the war. No matter
what his temporary eclipse may be,
he will again be Premier OF Po-
land.
when one considers the total
chaos and anarchy that existed in
Poland twelve months ago. through
the withdrawal Of various enemy
armies from the Polish area, practi-
cally all government had ceased to
function. There was no government
except a few municipalities. Trans
portation and communication had
ceased. The people were in the
midst of a famine more grievous
than any during 200 years. The
Bolsheviki were invading from the
east.
Out OF this weller OF anarchy and
misery. Paderewski built a govern
ment functloninS in all of its de-
partments, reconstructed Internal
transportation. established efficient
police authority. modified and
trained an army Of SOC. 900 men. who
have driven the Bolsheviki out OF
Poland and now hold a front of
1900 miles in protection OF all Eu-
rope. Beyond this, he consolidated
Poland into a compact State OF 35.-
00o.o people. with an outlet to the
sea. embracing a diversified resource
in agriculture. minerals and manu-
facture that will yet make it one
of the most stable states in Eu-
rope.
Above all. he created a real demo-
cratic government. functioning un-
der a Diet to whom the ministers
are responsible and in thorough
accord with his ideals. He. the

White House, Oct II, 1906.
Dear Ted:
was delighted to find from YOUR
asst letters that YOU are evidently hay-
ng pretty good time In spite Of the
newspaper and kodak creatures. I
guess that nuisance Is now pretty well
abated. Every now and then they will
do something horrid; but 1 think you
can safely. from now on, ignore them
entirely.
shall be-interested to hear how YOU
get on, first Of all with your studies,
In which you seem to have started
well and next with football. i ex-
pected that you would find II hard

the position OF end. as they arc mostly
heavier than you; especially since you
went of In weight owing to the ex-
element OF your last weeks Of holi-
day In the summer. or course, the
TACT that you are comparatively light
tells against you and gives you good
zeal 10 overcome. and undoubtedly 1t
was from this standpoint not a good
thing that you were unable TO lead
quieter Life toward the end Of your
stay at Oyster Bay
So II Is about the polo club. In nv
day we looked with suspicion upon
all freshman societies, and the men
who tried to get them I'D or were
prominent In them rarely amounted
to much in the class afterwards; and
It has happened that have heard
rather unfavorably of the polo club
But It may be mere accident that
have thus heard unfavorably about IL
ara In thirty yeers the attitude OF the
best fellows In college to such a thing
as freshman club may have changed
so absolutely that my experience can
be OF no value. Exercise your own
best judgment and form some idea
OF what the really best fellows in the
class think on the subject. Do not
make the mistake of thinking that the
men who are merely undeveloped are
really the best fellows. no matter how
pleasant and agreeable they are or
how popular. Popularity is a good
thing. but II Is not something for
which to sacrifice studies or athletics
or good standing in any way; and
sometimes to seek 1t overmuch Is 70
lose 1t. I do not mean this as apply
Ing to you, but as applying to certain
men who still have a great vogue at
first In the class. and OF whom you
will naturally tend to think pretty
well.
In all these things can only al
wise you in n very general way. You
are on the ground. You know the
men and the general college senti-
ment. You have gone in with the
serious purpose OF doing decently and
honorably; OF standing well in your
studies: Of showing that in athletics
you mean business up to the extent
OF your capacity. and OF getting the
respect and liking OF your classmates
so far as they can be Iesitimately
obtained. As to the exact methods
OF carrying out these objects. must
trust to you.
