During the last three years the
separation of the more volatile grades
OF gasoline from natural gas issuing
from oil wells has become a profit
able industry OF increasing import
ance. The industry did not progress
as rapidly in 1911 as was expected.
Undoubtedly it will eventually become
settled and flOurishing business. for
millions Of cubic feet of gas that is
now wasted on leases might be con-
verted into gasoline, should the de-
mand and price warrant It, The
United States geological survey last
year attempted 10 compile figures Of
production OF gasoline from natural
gas, but many plants were operated
Internationally and no records were
kept OF the output. Statements from
such producers could only be esti-
mated. However crude the method
of manufacture, a report of the
quantity of gasoline produced shows
an output in 1911 of 7.425,S39 gall
Ions. with an estimated value of
$j32, 704.

Foes Of Governor Wilson are striv.
ing to turn labor votes against him
by quoting brief
Governor Wilson sentences from for
And the mer writings and
Labor Vote interpreting them
to show the COVER
nor's position as being opposed to or
style Of campaigning for the reason
the governors standpat critics make
10 honest attempt to show his po-
sition regarding labor. They merely
use sentences craftily selected to suit
their purposes and they do not truly
reflect Governor Wilson's views on
the labor question.
The best evidence as to Governor
Wilson's position regarding organized
labor Is furnished by the labor planks
in the democratic platform and by
Governor Wilson's speeches,
The platform on which Governor
Wilson is running for president
strikes at the unjust use Of the in
junction in Industrial cases. 1t also
grants to labor the right TO organize,
the plank upon the latter subject be-
ing as follows:
THE expanding organization Of in
dustry makes It essential that there
shall be no abridgement Of the right
Of the wage earners and producers to
organize for the protection Of wages
and the Improvement Of labor con-
ditions to the end that such labor or
ganizations and their members should
not be regarded as Illegal combina-
tions in restraint Of trade"
Governor Wilson referred to that
plank in a speech but a few days ago
He declared that with capital allowed
TO organize in corporations 1t is but
fair and just TO allow the same privi-
lege to workmen He would not make
flesh OF one and fish Of the other.
Wilson also showed his friendship for
the laboring man by assisting in the
enactment OF numerous laws favor
sble to labor while governor OF New
Jersey and before becoming "A presi-
dental candidate.
Any laboring man. practically any
supporter Of union labor who pre-
fers either Taft or Roosevelt to Will
son will show poor judgment. The
friendship OF the republican party for
labor is fraudulent and II always has
been. Pompous campaign declara-
tons are made that high tariff hat
benefited labor and has maintained
the American standard, etc. But II
has done nothing OF the sort az al
men know who have read of Law
rende and other towns where protect.
ed industries are located.
The bull moose platform contains
vast amount OF rot aimed as bait
for the labor vote. But the platform
fails to deal with the two subjects
