VOTES ON AMENDMENTS
Lords Plan to Require Majority APP
proved for Passage. 49,

Several important constitutional
amendments were considered by the SEN
ate committee on judiciary to-day.
Among them was the proposition by Sen
ator Lord, suggesting an amendment 10
the constitution of the state so as to pro
vide that majority Of the votes cast
on constitutional amendments carry
them. Under the present law all the
votes cast at the election are counted on
all constitutional amendments, those not
voting at all being counted in the mega
tive as the law specifies that a constitute
tional amendment must secure a major
ity Of all the votes cast at(the election.
The debate over the Lord proposition
was spirited. Senator Lord took the
ground that the ignorant voters dictated
to the intelligent ones by. simply refrain
ing from voting. He did not think that
1t was just to the state or to the people
who made a study of it's interests, that
! ignorant persons who were Indifferent
and who really did not intend to partici.

was allowed to stand there would never
be- any further constitutional amend

A Constitutional Revision

Senator Peterson's bill proposing a
convention to revise the constitution of
the state was recommended for passage.
a similar measure was before the people
at the last election but it failed to pass
on account of the law which requires it
to secure a majority of all the votes cast
in the state.

by Senator Stevens authorizing the lew

BISHOP LEONARD.

The birthplace of Rt. Rev. Abiel Leonard Epis-
copal Bishop of Salt Lake, was Fayette, Mo. His
death, though not unexpected for the past week.
viii be shock to his numerous friends IN Salt
Lake. and the large diocese over which his juris-
dction extended since 1888. His large diocese,
which included Utah and Nevada, gave him
varied experience, and, being man of great OBJ
servaton, he made the best of his experience.
During the fifteen years he labored in Utah all who
knew him considered him an efficient worker and
a highly revered friend. His work, since his APP
pointment to his last charge, consisted mainly i'll
missionary abors. We cannot recall any of his
public utterances which waud distinguish him
a profound thinker, great scholar fluent speaker,
yet his elevation to the high dignity which his
church bestowed upon him is an assurance that he
was a learned divine, and that his noble character
won for him the honors which his church conferred
upon him. He was kind and charitable to all. In
one of his distant missions, which he visited last
summer one of his flock told the writer that he
gently reprimanded his people for not being more
charitable to an old, feeble and destitute lady that
was dying. None could fail to appreciate the sym
patty expressed in his words and the charity which
prompted them. His pleasing manners and affable
disposition won for him many friends outside of
his own church. He will be missed by these; his
spiritual flock Will miss him still more; but
only in the family circle where he proved himself
a devoted head and an afectionate father and hus-
band. is the loss irreparable. The Inteunountain
Catholic unites with all friends III extending its
sympathy to the bereaved family.

Why? Because man was created for higher des-
tiny which, when denied or ignored must leave
the soul in disturbed state, devoid of peace. The
world has always realized this society is aware of

suffrage and general enlightenment, divorced from
the moral law, the knowledge of God and mans
supernatural destiny instead of producing happi-
and solving the difficulty, breatbes discomfort
and complexities matters more. Liberty, equality
and enlightenment are the effect of Christian civil
lization, but those blessings, when separated from
God and mans destiny, become a menace to So

dead, Enlightenment has repealed forever the law
of fear; yet man. be he rich poor without the
knowledge or love of God, or any desire to serve
Him, is not and cannot be happy. This was the

disturbing element of society are led to believe
that the social standing or political influence of
