Senator BOrah.


Senator Borah
AIR. Ballinger greeted Senator Borah
with iandshake, but apparently he
recognized no one else in the vicinity.
Neither he nor Mr.. Pinchot made any
effort to speak.
President Taft was driven direct
from the railway station at thu head
If a procession of automobiles to the
army post at Fort Douglass, where he
reviewed the 18th Infantry, which is
stationed here. After the review he
held Il reception for the officers and
their wives and this evening was the
guest of honor at dinner at the fort,
returning to the city at II p. M. and
etiring to rooms assigned to him at
lDcal hotel.
The President was joined here by
John Hays Hammond, who will ac-
omnany him on the remainder Of his
ong trip.
The Presidents visit to Salt Lake
has caused a little furry among the
Protestant ministers. The difficulty
rose over the purpose of the commit
tee in charge to have the President
speak at the Mormon tabernacle in
his city Sunday morning. The con-
.roversy did not go as far as formal
protest. President Taft in the mean
lime suggested by telegraph a change
the Sunday program so as to allow
1is morning to be free for rest and
such religious worship as he might
hoose. The suggestion was agreed 20
ate last night, but after Senator Smoot
boarded the Presidents train at Relpen.
Utah, early today, the matter was ad.
iusted by an arrangement to curtail
he Sunday morning services at the
abernacle in time TO permit the Presi
lent to review a living flag of school
children and then proceed to the little
Unitarian church in this city at II
\. NJ.
President Taft will have a compare
lively quiet day of it tomorrow, with
ong looked forward to game OF golf
1t the Country Club in the afternoon
He may devote some of his time to
urther consideration of the Ballinger-
'inchot matter although he would not
discuss the subject in any of it's phases
,oGay.
The President is to make his cOnser-
alton speech at Spokane on Tuesday
Mr.. Taft made his principal speech
If the day at Provo. In it he said:
Il am very much interested in
helping along some people for whom [
vas long time the only representa-
i've and that kind of informal rep
sentative in Washington, by letting
,one of their sugar. was in favor Of
citing all their sugar-into this mar
tet, because | did not think it would
=,
ng ahead SO rapidly that when l talk
With man out here and he is not
linking of the tariff, he will tell me
ales of the manufacturing of sugar
hat will just make me think 1 want
invest all my money IN 1t at once.
But what did we do? We compro-
rised and we said to The people Of the
Philippine Islards: We will let you
nto cur market to the extent of Zy0.-
DC tons and no more and then the
ONE industry will go on and will not
injured certainly by that impOrta-
ion And we made the compromise.
Now that it what we do in Congress
md through the executive and all the
line, and while theoretically that may
seem the rule of thumb method of govern
nent, in the long run as you look back
through the history Of the country you
Hll find that the course pursued. which
was the result of compromising the VOWS
If the majority into one sound and mid
die course, was very much better than
f we should follow some doctrinaire and
tried to follow his theory to the utmost.
I'm other words, we can trust to the
common sense of the American people
through their representatives to work out
the problem we have and in that work
ng out to give effect to the views of all
the people. not all the effects to the view
of every one, but to give some effect to
the views of all. Under that system it is
perfectly true, as Senator Smoot says,
that we have the best government on
,arth. and representing that government
[ have attempted to take a journey
through the country of some 1900 or IA 900
niles for the purpose of convincing the
people, If / can. that every man, woman
and child born or naturaized in this
country has a voice and a right to be
heard at Washington and that his inter-
ests are the subject of careful considera-
ton by those who represent the govern
ment at that place. 1t is. l hope, not a
partisan government and will not be re-
garded as such"
