PLENTY OF GAS"

Fears i nmany quarters of a serious short-ge in the
supply OF gasoline are premature, it is revealed by the
figures just issued BY the United States bureau OF mines,
covering the first quarter Of the present year. While
there has been a large increase in domestic consumption
and our exports for the period were $1,000, 900 gallons
larger than in the corresponding three months last year,
production keeps ahead. and during the quarter no less
than 179,599,o00 gallons were added 10 stocks on hand
On March 81 stocks in the United States were estimated
at 626,399,000 gallons as compared to SAG, $40, 900 at
the same time last year and $685. 600 two years ago.
In 1915 wartime restrictions on the use Of gasoline
were in force and the output Of new cars and trucks was
greatly reduced. yet during the first quarter of that wear
only 114,125,0o0 gallons OF gasoline were added to
available stocks IN 1913 the output CT new cars was
estimated at 1%,974.o16. and the present production is at
a rate double that Of 1918, yet additions to the stocks
continue TO be made. OF course the situation does not
warrant extravaganza in use, neither does It Justify the
gloomy forebodings heard just before an advance in
price is announced, nor proposals for he regulation Of
consumption which were tolerated during war times.

A Natural Error

The following is an extract from
a letter written by a lady to friend
residing here in Gunnison:
"This story was brought back from
France by our boys and I think it
mighty cute"
''There were several of our boys on
a railroad train in France, also a
French woman and her daughter, and
the woman thought she understood
our language pretty well and also our
slang phrases.
1.-THE boys were standing up and
the women were making preparations
to leave when the woman heard one
of the boys say: When they leave we
will pinch their seats
So the woman said to. the daughter,
When we leave we will go out back
wards and will explain why, when
we get OUT"
''Ii doesn't sound as cute to write it
as it does to tell it, but just giggled
when heard it."

WAIT A LITTLE WHILE

When things don't go to suit you,
And the world seems upside down,
Just try your best to force a smile
And drive away the frown.
When your troubles come in punches
Like a wintry blast,
The fiercer is the onslaught
The sooner it is past.
Don't let your courage leave you,
But force a manly smile;
You'll see the sun shine Brighter
If you'll wait little while.
When the world seems all too gloomy,
And the storm clouds gather Ger,
Don't let your little failures
Drive your bark upon the shore.
But with steady hand to helm,
Pull for the open sea
And let the breakers spend their force
Upon the rocky lea.
You'll see the storm abating,
And rainbow's welcome smile,
If you'll keep your wits together
And wait little while.

MILLION BARREL WELL
FINALLY ABANDONED

The United Oil company's No. 16
we'll in the Florence, Colo, field,
which was drilled in 1893 and subse-
quently redrilled four or five times,
has been abandoned after having pro-
duced approximately 100000 bar
rels of oil. This we'll was a landmark
as the rig stood near the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad tracks where it
was seen by thousands of travellers.
Another well inside of the refinery
grounds, No. 40, is still producing
after having had an output in excess
of 100000 barrels during the past
thirty years. The Florence field is
seldom discussed in the public press
but the records of these two wells
gives some idea of its Importance.
The United is subsidiary of the
Continental Oil company.

THE EXPELLED SOCIALISTS

There is plausible defense for the
action of the New York Assembly In
expelling the five members Of the As
sembly who were elected as Socialists.
The Socialist, party being an organi-
zation with dues, to which aliens and
minors are eligible equally with citi-
zens, is not true political party in
the American sense Of the word. So
far as its executive committee under
takes to control the conduct Of its
members who are elected to office 1t
violates the spirit of American insti-
tutions and makes it theoretically
possible for American legislators to
be the representatives not Of Ameri-
can voters but of alien committeeman.
The men who were expelled have
signed party constitution that de-
nies to the state the right of raising
an army for its own defense, though
as members of the Assembly they
have sworn allegiance to state that
insists on that right in its own con-
stitution. The five expelled members
hold some views that are hostile to
those expressed in our fundamental
law. There is no question about that.
But it is dangerous precedent to
say that voters who desire the funda-
mental law changed in this, that or
the other respect cannot elect to the
legislature men who represent their
views. Political repression is not a
safe policy anywhere, least of all in
democracy. We can have little
faith in the essential justice and wis
dom of our institutions if we dare not
let anyone question them And il the
Socialist is not to have the right to
argue his case in the legislature, If
he is to be denied the right to express
himself through the ballot, we are
running the risk of driving him to
very much more dangerous and dis
turbing form of self-expression.
Open defiance of the law is suffi-
cient reason for expelling a member
from Legislature, but we dc. not be-
lieve that such defiance was proved
against the five Socialists at Albany.
Certainly it was not proved against all
of them. The attempt to root out
unpopular and mistaken political doc
trines by coercion and the denial of
political rights, instead of by persua-
sion and argument, we believe to be
the wrong choice for democracy to

II I. a Beauty
The Gunnison Empire.

The Gunnison Empire.
The new bridge across the Gunni-
son river at the approach of Antelope
creek, recently completed by Archer
Miller, is certainly one that the coun-
ty of Gunnison need never have any
fear of its going out on account OF
high water, as it is strengthened in
the center by an abuttment weighted
down by tons of Stag and made in
such shape as to utterly do away with
the danger of depris lodging against
it.
The road over the hill has not yet
been completed, but is marked out,
and it will be at least two weeks be-
fore it will be finished. At present
there seems to be considerable work
to be done on the island before the
road can be used with any comfort.
On account of the tempting short
cut from the bridge to town Elmer
England, to protect his meadow land,
has about completed fence to dis
courage the temptation to anyone to
cut through, which seems to ba the
habit of some people, who either do
not care about other peoples property
or are lacking in grey matter, thus
our rapchmen are compelled to pro-
tect themselves by fences.
