THEY BROKE THEIR WORD.

1t appears that the Prussian officials
arrested the Mormon elders as the dis.
patches this morning announce, because
those elders broke their word and re-
fused to keep faith. They agreed, in
pursuance of an understanding with the
Prussian government, that foreign mis-
sionaries would keep out Of the empire,
their teachings having been adludged
to be subversive of morality, and they
being warned to keep out, under pen
atty Of tho law. They agreed, and
went But only for time. They had
no idea of keeping their word any
longer than they must. Accordingly,
they sneaked back, and were caught
IN their perfdy.
There was never the least reason to
expect that those elders would do as
they had agreed to do. Their general
leaders have always broken faith, and
the example Of those leaders was theirs
to follow, The petition for amnesty,
prayerfully urged, was granted on the
pledge and covenant that law breaking
should be given up. But President Jo-
seph f. Smith has sworn that he never
gave it up, and didn u intend to. The
same with President Lyman. The same
with all the polygamously inclined, un-
til now all Mormondom reeks with
Polygamy even more offensively than
ever before.
The same with church control of pol
ltlcs and civil affairs; all was surren-
dered, so far as pledge of honor went,
and all has continued TO the dishonor
of those who pledged.
Why, then, should the Mormon mis-
slonaries to Prussia have been ex-
pected to keep their pledges? That
they would not, was as plain when they
made those pledges as it is now, when
some twenty-one of them have been
caught in the fragrant violation. But
they can take 1t as q surety, that Prus-
sia will take nothing more from them
on trust. The agreement to stay out
with their immoral acts and teachings
wall be enforced by stringent super.
vision. Their word Of honor cannot be
trusted In Prussia any more than in
Utah. 1t is always with something of
satisfaction that we sec liar brought
to book.
BY the way, Just where is Joseph +.
at this crisis, in his European wander
ings?

THAT PETROLEUM RESERVE.

Though our protest is not likely u
be heeded, we make it Just the sam,
against the withdrawal from entry OF
the so'caled 'petroleum reserve i.
San Juan County, in and other part
of Southern Utah. A number o.
people made oil locations there severa
years ago, lawfully, and in good faith
Some of these people are Salt Lakers
They have pursued the development OF
their claims as the law requires, they
| have taken IN machinery, and have
worked faithfully to develop au oil
producing region along the upper val
ley of the San Juan river, and also il
Washington, Wayne and Iron coun
ties. There is no reason IN the world
why they should be disturbed in their
enterprise. or shut off in their at
tempted Developments IT is true tha,
they have not been awarded patents, as
their work has not proceeded far enough
to make the demonstration that the
law requires. But it seems that the
fective in convincing the President
that an oil tle., IS there. even if that
work is not sufficient to secure to the
prospectors the reward Of their labors
These prospectors have been ham.
pered good deal in their work OF de.
velopment The law requires them to
do certain amounts of work at stated
times; but department rules have for.
bidden the doing of that work. 1t is
a difficult region 10 work in, remote
and costly of access for supplies and
the needed machinery Development
consequently, has been slow, and the
administration has added to the nat.
ural difficulties, harassments of its
own. And yet the Indications of oil
were so pronounced that the prospectors
have persevercd, and their reward ap.
peared in sight.
But their very enterprise and sue.
cess has been their undoing. Though
their proof of oil riches is not enough
to enable them to get patents on their
claims, it is enough 10 convince the
Government that an oil reserve should
be proclaimed.
One effect of this is to deprive the
prospectors for an indefinite time of the
Just and legal rewards of their toll. An
other is TO keep us chained to the same
old monopoly, We must buy our oil
from the Standard Oil Company, al
though there is an abundant oil field
at our own door, that only needs tho
opening which independent men are
prepared tc give it, TO free us from
obligation TO Mr.. Rockefeller. The
great oil magnate could not possible
have served his own interests and ends
better, if he had had the issuing of
this procamai iiOn himself

1T WILL HAVE ITS WAY.

Aviators will pay little heed to the
protest that they should not navigate
the air because by so doing they are
violating natural law. The plea that
''lf the Creator had intended that man
should inhabit the air or fly like the
birds, he would have furnished him
with wings does not appeal to them.
They will not heed it any more than
men needed the pious exhortation of the
great Latin poet AGAINST the bold navi-
cation of the waters that was begin
ming for his nation in his day. "Tn
vain,' said he, "did tho proyident
gods divide the lands by the threaten
ing seas if sacrlleGious ships are to
PASS over the forbidding Depths But
the ships passed over more and more;
experiment became custom, and safety
promoted further and further ventures
from generation to generation, until
the separating seas have become mere
slips, and the ships are but ferry boats
And so, we doubt not. it will be with
the navigation of the air That navi-
CATION is just beginning. It is n mere
venture as yet; safe TO thoSe who are
skilled and meet with no very seri-
Gus adverse conditions. Aviation is
now practically where navigation was
when men first began to make their
timorous and hazardous ventures upou
the waters. And as those grew from
small and uncertain efforts, so will avi-
alton grow. And we imagine that when
1T becomes a great and assured science,
commercially and practically on as firm
basis as navigation of the sea now is,
the men of thnt day will look back
upon the beginnings Of aviation, with
their crude appliances and bungling eff
forts, very much as we of this day may
look back upon the first efforts of
mankind, in their cockle-shells, to nav
igate the seas, But the coming Jri-
umph OF aviaticE will be so immeasura-
bly, accelerated by the enterprise and
practical knowledge of this age in all
applied science, that the time needed
to achieve man S triumph over the air
Will be but span as compared with
the ages that it took to bring the navi-
cation of the seas to its present point
IN perfection.
