The Presidents appeal 10 the patriotism of the peo pie. his congratulations on their ev idences of prosperity and the fact thai they were community of the law abiding people and determined that sv- cry community of which they were 2 part should be a lawfdl community called forth continuing cheers.

 Speaks At Provo.
 MT. Taft made his principal speech of the day at Provo. In it he said
 We hear often that one section ol another of the country Is occupying too much space in Washington, fl welding too much influence and fl getting too many things to benefit thu local community which they represent On the whole. congress works out necessarily a compromise Consider what it is that we are carrying on Really we have to rub our eyes som, times in order to carry ourselves down to a basis of fact and see exact ly what 1t Is that we are doing, fl order to measure what we have ac complished in the way of government by the people. In some way or othe we have to interpret into controlling force the resultant united opinion O eighty or ninety millions of people and put 1t into government direction hence, 1t Is that we have to make continuous compromise and each sec tion has got to give up something il order that other sections-themselve giving up something-shall agree witt them in the resultant exchange an( the resultant administration.
