AS TO THE CONSTITUTION.
Some Trenchant Remarka by Colonel
Joseph Wlsby.
"What do you think of the Idea that
onr constitution is unrepubllean bo-
eauso It provides for ihe initiative nntl
referendum?" was asked Joseph Vl
by this morning.
"Nothing to II. The basic principle
of popular goernment In this country
are founded upon the idea of the refer-
endum." "In what manner are we forming
our state government ?"
"The people In which popular aover-
elgnty resides or aa wn have been
taught and fondly believed from the
days of Jefferson took the inlattve
selected their delegates to a state con-
vention and framed our constittuloti.
Yet It la not law and doea not Nwome
tue law qf tho new state until re-
ferred to the peopte and llielf vole of
appro-:'! is had. Tbiia liave been
fashioned and formetl every atate
government In the Union. A delega
oonatltutloii framed Ute federal oon-
stitiitlon but it did not bcnouie the
fundameu'al law of an Indeneiuletit
itata or nation until It was referred
lo and approved by the people of tho
state through or by their authorlietl
agencies.
"The very aplrl. and genius of our
free Institutions are the lire giving
prlnclplee that the sovereign will of
the people properly expressed. Is the
supreme law of tlie land. Nearly all
the states have the referendum In one
for.n or another. Why not deny Ore-
gon representation In the congress of
the Cnlted Stntea If tho adopMon of
the referendum mnkes that stato con
stitution uurepubllcan In formf Why
no deny like representation In tho
federal congress to other atatoa which
