GASOLINE
Squeezed From Natural Gas
at the Rate of 1000
Barrels a Day

Some time ago The Cincinnati En-
quirer printed news item to the
effect that a process had been discov-
cred by which gasoline eau be squeez-
ed out OF natural gas before it is sold
for consumption, The article in ques-
ton brought fourth from Archibald S.
White, then President OF the Columbia
Gas and Electric Company, a strong
denial that that company was engaged
in any such squeezing operation, and
that it was not successful commercial
proposition, in so far as he then knew.
The Scientific American now comes
along with an elaborate explanation OF
the new process, which it is said, is
being operated on a commercial basis
that yields at least 1000 barrels OF
gasoline a day. The article, however,
is merely a general technical state
ment and does not mention the names

GETTING BACK TO NORMAL.
cavalry"

The one unmistakeabe political tendency al
present is the countrywide recognition of the
rare merits of President Taft. A period o
normal reflection has set in. The shout has
had its day and the intelligent inquiry, the
frank recognition of facts have arrived.
Republics are not ungratefu Sometimes
they can be temporarily misled by political
zealots or sophists; but in the end they fall
back upon the safe entertainments of practical
common sense. They accept results and deeds
they suspect theories and extravagant promises
The absence of frank and definite criticism
of President Taft would be interesting but fol-
the fact that there is no foundation for such
criticism His record has been remarkably
credtable one. Accepting the responsibilities
and burdens of all office which had been at
tuned to the caprices and Incorporate practices
of his predecessor, he began the difficult task
of performing his duties in the way which
seemed to him the right way.
He met the stratagems of his political
enemies-DemOcratic statesman, chiefly, but
also few Republicans who were of the
Roosevelt school of office -holders-and over
came them by methods which have been both
commendable and consistent
No man who ever went to the White House
confronted more trying tasks; no man ever
performed them with greater earnestness or
allegiance to principle.
His duties have been performed with sanity
and graciousness; with dignity and judicious-
ness. Opposition to him has been political;
and it has been found to be ineffective. The
country is declaring that it has had enough of
spellbinding and that it wants to- get back to
business. That is why Taft stock is up and
going higher. That is why the theorists and
the impostors will be sent to the rear when the
voters speak 10 November st, Louis Tines.

Of the companies using the recovery
process.
Ever since natural gas has been
used those who handle the product
noticed a collection OF gasoline in the
pipes through which the gas flows.
This led to researches to determine
whether or not gasoline could not be
squeezed out OF natural gas as sec.
ondary product, and John Lathrop
Gray, an inventor, has completed a
process making it practicable. The
recovery system is operated by COM
preston and the cooling OF the gases.
Natural gas gasoline" in appear
ance and physical characteristics is so
nearly identical with the refinery pro.
duct, when properly produced and
treated, that it requires careful iudg-
ment to distinguish it. The new
product also mixes we'll with kerosene
or lighting oil aud makes a cheap and
satisfactory motor fuel. The new
process will, the Scientific American
says, ultimately operate as a safeguard
against a prohibitive fuel cost for in
ternal combustion purposes.

FOR PRESIDENT,

JAMES S. SHERMAN,
LYING AGAIN ILLEGAL.

LYING AGAIN ILLEGAL.
When Congress, in 1906, passed the Food
and Drugs Act colloqually known as the
EPure Food Law" it declared in that act that
rug should be accounted misbranded
'the package or label of which shall bear
anv statement which shall be false
or misleading in any particular " "
Tor nearly half decade after the passage
of this law it was generally believed, and the
courts held, that it was illegal to make any
statement on the label of food or drug that
was "false or misleading IN any particular"
When the point was raised before the Supreme
Court, however, that august body declared
by majority of FIVE to three--that the phrase
''false or misleading in any particular" meant
false or misleading in certain particulars, to.
W.T. as applied only to the composition or
sources of origin of the products. This de-
csion, naturally, gave general cause for re-
joicing among that swindlng brotherhood
which robs the sick and dcfIauds the MORALLY
i'll by selling worthless "cures" foy cancer, con-
sumption, ETC. 1t is more than year since
the Supreme Courts decision so seriously
crippled one Of the most beneficent pieces of
legislation of modern times But Congress
has again put up the bars and the President
has signed Congressman Shirley's bill which
so amends the Food and Drugs Act as to re.
store the broader meaning originally attributed
to that piece of legislation. Mr.. Shirlcy's
amendment consists, essentially in the addition
of third paragraph to Section of the Food
and Drugs Act. This paragraph reads:
eff IFS package or label shall bear or contain
ny statement, design, or device regarding the
ratve or therapeutic effect of such article, or
y of the ingredients or substances contained
>rein, which is false and fraudulent"
ere can be no installing the intent of this
dment, says The Journal CT the American
,dicaI Association. 1t says to the "patent.
ledicine' faker in plain and unequivocal
erms: "Thou shalt not lie."

Another from Moffat County

Shortly before the escape Of Com
stock and Salterwhits Saturday eve-
ming, Sheriff Ledford Of Moflat coun-
ty arrived with one Mat Moreiock,
who IL charged, in company with
James Wallihsn, both Of Maybell,
with brutally mutilating fine stall

that place.
At . preliminary hearing held in
Craig, the accused were held in $500
bonds, which Walliban furnished.
Morelock was unable to furnish bond,
so he will be held till the next term
Of the district court Of Moflat county.
The crime for which Wallihan and
Morelock are held Is . peculiarly
heinous one, and II the evidence is
