The iriBh and the Germans, who' Bought, refuge under America's starry hanneV, have been joined: by large num bers of political refugees of other races. A nation that has furnished one of the largest contingents \>l political refugees is the Polish nation. The total Polish pop?: ulation of the United States and Canada, according to the estimate of one i f the best-lntormed immigration agents in the United States, is nearly 1,000,000. With the exception of the Zabriskles (properly Zborowskis) — the American protoplast of whom came here in 1662— there is no recorded instance of Polish set tlement on American soil prior to the down fall. of the Polish Republic. It was after this event that Poles in numbers chose this classic land of political freedom, for their adopted country. Every one of the strug gles for Polish liberty- furnished the United States with its. quota“ of Polish refugees. To the most illustrious of the Polish ref. ugees, the world-famed warriors, Thàd- deus Koscluszlto and Casimir Pulaski, it was given to fight for the independence of the thirteen .colonies; while in the civil war there were hundreds of sons of Poland who shed their blood for the preservation of the Union; sòme even attaining high positions in the army— Zniinski, Krzyza- nowski, Smolinski, Zychiinski, Kalussow- ski, and others. But the regular immi gration of the Poles to this country began shortly after the American civil war and after the last great war of Poland against Russia (1863-1865). W h e n to the political oppression of Poland was added economic oppression, thousands upog thousands of robust tiilors of that country's fertile soil crossed the ocean in order to soek in Amer ica not only freedom from their oppressors, but also opportunity for some honest and useful occupation. Most of the Poles in America live in the industrial cities around the Great Lakes, but a Considerable number of them are settled on farms, and the exodus from the cities to tlie farmlands of Wisconsin. Min nesota, and the far West is steadily in creasing. The following States have more than 100,000 Poles: Pennsylvania, 500,000; Illinois, 476,000 ( 300,000 being in Chicago alone); New York, 475,000; Wisconsin, 250,- 000; Massachusetts, 240,000; Michigan, 240 ,- 000; Ohio, 200;000; Connecticut, 120;000; Now Jersoy, 120,000; Minnesota, 120.000. Of tho other States, Indiana has 50,000 Poles; Missouri. 40,0004 ¿Mii-t-ylanil. 80,000; Rhode Island, Nebraska, and Texas, 25,000 each; Maine and Delaware. 20,000 each, arid New Hampshire, West Virginia, North D a kota, Kansas, Washington, an i California, from 15,000 to .12.000. Wherever the PoIps settle' In numbers, they build churches and schools and estab lish national societies and organizations. In Detroit. Mich., for long years has been the highest Polish institution of learning in the United States— the Polish Seminary, founded by the, patriot priest, the Rev. Jo seph, Dambrowski. whose death occurred a few years ago. This institution has more than 3ÓO students and à faculty Of nineteen professors and instructors; Among the men of distinguished scholarship and ability that have served on the faculty of the Polish Seminary in Detroit is Prof. Romuald Pi- antkowskl, whose Polish translation of Kant’s “ Critique of Pure Reaso'n\ (the\Pro- legomena\ of which has already been pub lished by the Mianowski Fund of Warsaw), is said to be the best translation into any language of that German work. Another that oiice taught in the Polish Seminary at D e troit is Prof. Thomas, Slemiradzlii, the au thor of an excellent \Post-Partition History of Poland\ and editor for long ye,ars of the .hief Polish weekly in Anrcrii a, the Chicago /.noria (Hat'tnony). This Polish Seminary has. this year been transferred to Orchard Lake, Midi., whore it has acquired the prop- ( rt'y of the former Military Academy, Of the Polish organizations In tills coun try. by far the most interesting and! influen- : Hal Is the Polish National Alliance of the .United States of America. This orgapiza> tion:, which is the largest Polish organiza tion. not only In America, but also in the whole' world, is a patriotic', educational, benevolent organization based on the prin- dples of fraternal orders. It was, founded in ran. IB that 5<ear—four years after the cen tennial of the declaration of American lii. nependeni e—a group of Polish political ref- ugpefl lining in Philadelphia resolved to car. ry into (xecution iljc idea they had Ioni; held Of forming an organization that would unite Into one national body the Polish so* deJicB, of whl h at that time, already there «ere a number throughout- the country.

For this purpose, the alliance pub lishes three newspapers—thé weekly men's Zgofla (Harmony), the weekly women's Zsoda, and the daily Dxicnnik 7,ioimzkmcy (Tho Alliance Daily). Besides this, the Alliance has a board of education, which publishes popizlar books, on Poland and America, organizes lectures *and scientific cpurses, distributes libraries tó' the groups of tHe Alliance throughout the United States, and furnishes scholar ships to young men and women of Polish rfatlonality attending American imivérslties,, colleges, and schools of special study. As a crowning aqt of its work in this1 direction the Polish .National Alliance purposes to found a college in this country. Subscrip tions for this college, contributed by the members of the Alliance, as well as by out-’ siders of Polish nationality, are «ally pour ing into tlie treasury of the Alliance's com mission of schools. To aid poor Polish immigrants and pre vent them from becoming “ public charges,\ the Alliance has commissions of immigra tion in New York, Boston, Baltimore, and San Francisco. A building recertly bought in New York city by the Alliance, is, boing fitted’ up as an immigrants’ home, . The Alliance’s commission of tro^ç and industry watches for work and business op portunities for Poles and publiflbteB tho re sults gf its research, in the '¿goim, the Alli ance organ; and its commission of agri-, culture and colonization inspects farm lands for the benefit of prospective Polish, buyers, Besides these commissions tli« Àllianco has a department of aid, whicii bestows sums of money oh the members oí the or ganization that are in need. The disbursements of the Pçllsîi National Alliance during 1908, tor educational and charitable purposes, amounted to 5-45,080 ; while the^death claims paid siace its or ganization, amounted to $S,186,32i>':. The Alliance is incorporated £n Illinois, but it has licenses to transact business in almost every State of the Union. The headquarters of the Alliance, the Al liance House at Nos. 1406-140S Division Street, Chicago, contain, besides the insur ance offices, a well-equipped printing plant, and a large library and museum. In the Alliance library and museum tlie lover of history can find many really interesting relics of Poland's old glory; hence, it is visited not only by Poles— from the hum blest to the most eminent, as Paderewski and the Modrzejewskis—but alse by Amer icans and visitors from other lands. The Alliance library has the largest collection of Polish books in the United States. From the last biennial report (1907), it appears that the library contains 5,025 volumes in the Polish language, 658 in the English, 233 in the French, 120 in the Lithuanian, 1Ó5 in the German, and 51 in the Latti, Russian, Spanish, Italian, and Bohemian languages; while the museum comprises a targe num ber of invaluable historical- documents, au tographs of Polish kings and ■other distin guished Poles, 163 medals, and gold, silver; copper, nickel, and paper money tó thé number Of !>69: The nucleus of the Alliance library and muséum is the collection of 3,000 volumes and important historical doc uments— a collection valued; at {50,000—pre. sented to thé Alliance shortly before his death, in 1894. in Washington, D.

W A CL AW PliHKOWSKI. No,, Yt-rk. August 20. Dr. Charles A. L. Reed of the University- of Cinpignati, chairman of the legislative committee of the American Medical As sociation, made an address to the Associai tion of Stato and National Food and Dairy Doparti:! onat Denver yesterday, towhicb the niemburs of the Remsgn boird replied. Their replies were published in part in the' Evening JPoat yesterday. Subsequently thè. following resolution was passed by 57' to 42 votes, each' State represented there hav^ - Ing three votes: 1 Resolved, That this association hereby en dorses the report of the referee board of consulting '‘scientific experts appointed by Secretary of .Agriculture Wilson at the di rection of President Roosevelt upon the uso of benzoate of soda in food products. In Dr, Reed’s address the motived of the government were endorsed, but the referees were denounced for misleading the govern ment. \Tho referees did not make the ex periments themselves ; the experiments were not conducted scientifically; they were not comprehensive, enough to answer tho in quiries of the government ; they were too biassed to be entitled to public confidence; the facts they did bring out condemned benzoate of soda as a food preservative. But in spite of this the referees endorse! it, and by that act stand condemned by the facts in their own record,\ be said. After describing the medical uses of ben zoate of soda, Dr. Reed: continued : Benzoate of-soda, by virtue of its proper ties as a powerful antiseptic, was used and, since the. removal of the ban by the govern ment, is again being used as a preservative for food. ' Experience àhïpiÿ proves that sound -fruits and vegetables., including cat sup from sound tomatoes, can be made to keep without 'the addition of benzoate of soda or of any \other added deleterious nflsdicamcnt. Unsound fruit and the slush from canning factories, slush that ought to go only into the sewer, can bo and are to-daÿ being preserved, purveyed, and ex tensively consumed as articles of food by the simple process of first medicating them, with benzoate of soda, permission to do which is based upon thé findings of this referee board. It is to be remembered that the utilization of this material which, without tho use of benzoate of soda, must go to waste, represents a large margin oì profits to certain selfishly commercialized interests, and that this fact accounts in large part for the pressure brought Upon the government to reverse its originai po sition. On the findings of these ’'referees, the government has proclaimed a. license to medicate the food ,<jf the people With this drug, in any quantity- with absolutely nò restriction upon the articles of food that may be subjected to. its use. Are we to understand that even these referees have the temerity to say that this powerful drug can 'be added to food in all propor tions without impairing its nutritive value or that it can be eaten by the people in all quantities, at all times, and under all con ditions without serious consequences to their health? Then, too, it was manifestly ipcumbent upon this board to have determined the amount of benzoate required to preserve (a) sound food, (b) unsound food, and (c) sewage. But it has seen Jit also to ignoro this practical phase of the problem in spite of the fact that those commercial usages must have been known to them, as shown by their discussion of Other commercial usages, and in spite of the fact that the specific interrogatories submitted to them by the government logically embrace thecr* ahd all Other points necessary for its in telligent guidance in the solution of this great problem. But did the -scientists thus appealed to for the guidance of the government in deal ing with the livr>s and health of millions of people, and who were appealed to largu- ly because of the prestige their personal attention to the question and the universi ties with which they were connected would give to the final decision—I ask, did these scientists do any of the actual work In volved In the solution Of this momentous problem? So far as indicated by the re port, which cost .well on to $100,000, not t* single analysis of medicament, food, or so- çretion, not a single SJjysIcal examination, not a single record, was made by any of the three eininent gentlemen whose names head this report. The whole thing séems to have 'ben turned over to subordinates, whose work, be It said, is recognized with praiseworthy frankness by the nominal ref- éroos. Dr. Reed went at great length into thé subject of thé experiments made on men, and argued that they proved the caso against benzoate of soda on the referee board's own report. He concluded: (!.) Thé questions submitted by tho gov ernment to tho-referees covered the whole ground. (2.) Thè experiments, so far as indicated by the report, were not mod« by thè mem bers of the referee board of scientific ex perts, nor even under their constant person al supervision. (3.) The experiments themselves (a) were excel all other . investments legally available for trust funds in both security and income. The best can be obtained from N. Y.
