HALF GENIUS, HALF CHILD.

Somebody has been telling to John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi, Demo.
cratic leader of the House Of Repre-
sentatives, that President Theodore
Roosevelt is half genius and half child.
And Mr.. Williams ioyously quotes this
as an apt description of the man who
wields the big stick from the White
House.
Well, what if he is. What happier
combination of qualities could there be
than those which are thus epigrammnti-
cally described Suppose one were ere

PUTS US IN MIND.

We find this editorial paragraph in
the Provo Enquirer:
The opposition to a railroad law by
some Of the Salt Lake papers is the more
astonishing when II is remembered that
some OF the men. who are now opposing
railroad rates and traffic, helped frame
the Constitution of the State, which
makes IL mandatory upon the Legislature
to enact such law.
That puts us in mind of some things
needful to be said.
There are many provisions of the
Utah Constitution that are mandatory,
but which have been utterly ignored; !;
and there are many things that ought
10 be in that Constitution which are not
found there.
OF the first division, we note the pro-
hibition of the union of church and
State, and the requirement that the
church shall not dominate the State;
this is wholly ignored.
There is prohibition of polygamy
in the CONSTITUTIONS; and undoubtedly
Congress, in placing in the enabling
act the requirement Of this prohibition,
intended it to prohibit polygamous Iiv-
ing as we'll as polygamous marriages.
But this provision is also ignored,
The Constitution requires that there
shall he rcapportioDment of the Leg.
isatu-e just after the Federal census;
this was not made. IT requires also a
State census at the ive-year periods
after the Federal census. and a Legisla.
tive apportionment after that, also
but both requirements have been wholly
| ignored.
The Constitution, as per an amend
merit ratified by popular vote, requires
| the establishment of the initiative and
referendum, but nothing has been done
to that end, though several Legislatures
have had their sessions since its rati
fication.
No doubt other failures to recognize
the binding force of the Constitution
could be pointed out, but these will dc
for the present
On the other hand, the Constitution
should provide a reasona BILE, intelligent
and fair system of taxation, which The
people will feel as little as possible
But it does not On the contrary, il
has a system sntiquatcd, obsolete il
progressive States. Under it, large pro
perty values escape taxation altogether
