SPEAKING WE'LL or UTAH,


Mr., NJ 4, Breeder, the attorney gem
eral of Utah, passed through Indiana
polls a few days ago, While there, IL
seems, he talked about conditions In
Utah and his words should have
weight with people outside the state,
who necessarily must rely on testi-
mony for their Information. Mr. Bree-
den is quoted by The indianapolis sun
Of March T. as follows:
1.-THE Gentiles and Mormons are liv-
ing together In harmony as one people,
They have grown into close business
and social relations, and the old ami
mostly Is cherished only by fanatics.
For instance, b. II. Roberts, who was
expelled from the senate for polyga-
my, Is the president Of company for
which | was attorney, There have been
practically no plural marriages since
they We're declared unlawful The
Mormons who contracted them before
they were forbidden are supporting
their polygamous families, which Is
laudable. as It prevents their becoming
a burden TO the State.
woman suffrage Is success In
Utah. SIS effect Is seen In higher NOR
M tone. Among other results Is that the
saloons are kept closed on Sundays"
The indianapolis News of the same
date contains this notice:
M a. Breeder, attorney general Of
Utah, who Was the only Gentle on the
state ticket elected at the last election,
called on Attorney General Taylor this
morning In company with j. W. Noel. OF
this city, whose wife is "A niece of Mr..
Breeden
Polygamy is dying out Mr. Bree-
den said Plural marriages are no
longer solomnI2ed BY the Mormon
Church. The Mormon men are stll car

their wives, and | think Il is IN the in
terest OF good morals that they should
do So IL would be wrong for the men

married and who are dependent upon
them.

ing cementCd more closely an the time.

gered at It's mere contemplation That
is strong language, but Il Is not argu-
mcnt The bill as we understand IT,
provides that the expenses for the re-
clamation Of the arid lands shall come
from the sales Of public lands Twenty
million acres, 1t ia estimated. can be
reclaimed In forty years, at the expense
Of sS00,OOOO0O. That does not look ex.
trayagant There is no ground for the
charge that robbery of the treasury is
contemplated, What Is there, then, In
the proposition, TO stagger the ordinary
mind.
Senator Hansbrough. in the current
National Magazine, calculates that the
reclamation by the government Of co.
100000 acres would mean the recIama-
ton Of an equal area by private enter
prise AT price Of $50 an acre, that
would add 10 the wealth Of the nation

more IN improvements, stock, manu-

lage property. II would give homes
to ten million people where now the
coyote and the prairie dog hold uncon-
tested possession. That fact alone
should silence an opposition that seems
to have no other foundation than
jealousy and prejudlces.
Some features Of the bill may not
be perfect. II has been pointed out, for
instance, that If the several states are
given control over the distribution OF
the water, state POLITICIANS may see to
It that It Is used for other purposes
than that of home building This is a
danger that should be averted, The
chief point, however Is to have a meas

concern them, They should always be
prepared to take tho consequences
The Sacramento Bee, discussing the
question from this point OF view, says
the average missionary has become an
international nuisance, and that he

This IL true enough. Thc missionaries
Of the various sects pretend to be the
representatives OF Kingdom, not OF
this world, and as such they should not
expect armies aud navles TO fight for
them. They might even refuse the ala
OF soldiers, II proffered to them, as ala
Ezra when he undertook 10 lead a COM
pany OF Hebrews, through a robber"
infested country, from Babylonla TO
Palestine. His sentiment would indeed
be an adonment to modern missionary
enterprise. For he said 10 his breth-
rem. Il was ashamed 10 require Of the

But all this Is really apart from the
main question involved in the stone
ransom Her status as a missionary
should not be considered at all She Is
an American citizen and as such was
entitled to protection In her lawful pur-
suits. That Is the important point IN
that incident. Governments that by
treaties have granted Americans GER
tain privileges, must b. made to UNDER
stand that one OF their duros Is to
suppress brlgandage that renders such
treaties null and void.
There seems to be no other way of
making this clear to the people OF Tur-
key or Bulgaria, than by demanding
Reimbursement II appears that there
Is revolutionary party laborlng for
the liberation Of Macedonia. The lead
ers Of this party conceived a plan
whereby to extort money from citizens
Of the United States, to be used for

THE SUGAR CONTEST.

The sugar controversy in Congress Is

Of the beet sugar interests Is greater

We are inclined however, to think that
compromise on the 20 per cent basis
offered by the reciprocity advocates,
would be a fair settlement Of the dis
pute and would not be injurious TO the
beet-sugar industry. The Manufacture
of sugar from beets In this country has
been demonstrated TO be very profit
able, and to be now in a position to do
the country vast amount Of good.

A QUESTION ON pRlIsrnooD


We have been requested TO state
whether the Melchlsedek Priesthood
was held on the earth after the days
of Moses the Prophet, and previous to
the coming OF Jesus Christ in the flesh
We suppose the question has arisen be-
cause Of the statement In the Doctrine
and Covenants
"Now this Moses plainly taught to
the children Of Israel In the wilderness,
and sought diligently to sanctify his
people that they might behold the race
OF God: but they hardened their hearts
and could not endure hia presence,
therefore the Lord In his wrath QQr his
anger was kindled against theml sWore
thai they should not enter into his rest
while In the wilderness, which rest Is
the fulness OF his glory Therefore he
took Moses out Of their midst, and the
Holy Priesthood also; and the lesser
priesthood continued. which Priesthood
holdeth the key Of the ministerlng OF
angels and the preparatory Gospel
Sec. A 1926,
We understand, by this statement
about the Holy Priesthood being taken
from Israel. that the people who reject
ed the higher law were placed under
the lesser law and the lesser Priest
hood. They did not have the benefit OF
those administrations which appertain
10 the higher or Melchisedek Priesthood
but were placed under the law of car
nal commandments Moses who held
the keys of that higher authority, was
taken away and with him the keys that
he held, but there we've individuals left
who held that Priesthood and there is
no doubt that It was transmitted to
others, and was held by the prophets
who administered in the higher things
OF the kingdom. when the Lord revealed
himself to them and gave them instruc-
tions.
tits evident from Sec 1872 Of the Doc
trine and Covenants that Nathan and
others OF the prophets, OBLIGATED IN the
Melchisedek Priesthood and that it's
power was made manifest in the TEN
pie which Solomon was permitted to
build But Israel, as nation, was un.
der the Aaronie or lesser Priesthood
until Christ came and was called Of
God to be "a Priest after the order Of
Melchisedek lie restored the higher
law Of the Gospel and called and or
dained His apostles and placed upon
them similar authority In the Priest
hood to that which He held Himself.
The Church which He established was
delivered from the yoke Of the lesser
law aud raised TO the liberty and bless
ings Of the higher
In the restoration OF the Gospel in
the latter days, both Priesthoods-tbe
Aaronic ana the Meichsedek--
conferred upon the first Elders Of the
Church. and that authority has been
continued The keys held by Moses
were bestowed upon Joseph Smith and
have descended TO his successors This
we hope win make The matter plain To
our correspondent and to others inter-
ested in the subject.
