tho Perth Amboy district. This he
did. notifying me of the result of
conference with the merchants. you
and the police department. and pre-
senting the plan to me. I then ap-
proved of this voluntary plan.
Mr.. Mayor. these things are only
tentative. The politicians are roam
ing around the country claiming that
each one (alone) is supporting the
government and the other is not.
We are at a critical stage in our
work of war-all Europe is looking
at us. The slightest effort to oppose
is reported TO our enemies at once.
This administration is not ready
TO believe that the good people OF
Perth Amboy are not as ready as
other municipalities are to tender to
the United States government the ex-
treme degree of loyalty that they ask.
We know the degree OF patriotism
that you possess, and we know that
the soundness of your Judgment Is
such that you will not allow your

Dear Mr.. Mayor:
Your letter Of October zS received
and owing 20 sickness. a death of q
member OF my family. 1 was not able
to answe it sooner.
The necessity OF conservation of
power. especially on the peak load"
hours. IN order to allow the war
plants to Increase their work and to
enable those who provide both the
power necessary for these plants and
also the facilities for lighting the
streets n for the running of the
cars which carry workers OF his
state home after their daily toll. make
It absolutely essential, especially in
the larger manufacturing sections of
this state. to do exactly what has
been done.
The shortage OF power has kept
the streets of some of our cities dark
at a time when they should be well
lighted in order to help the police to
regulate the increased traffic and in
their other police work. Light is the
best policeman.

ferent from others In the degree Of
loyalty.
The administration knows your
difficulties. We know the difficulties
that you have to contend with be-
cause OF the fact that your workers
are largely OF the foreign born class
and the fact that you have been so
patriotic in the past is the more to
your credit n convinces us that
you will not only cooperate. but will
go further.
Your loyalty and your patriotism
the administration is so confident of
that 1t feels hat II is only necessary
to call your attention TO this matter
and you will at once be among the
large number cooperating with the
fuel administration in Its efforts to
successfully prosecute the war.
Please get together with Mr.. Ram
say. I know that he is willing to try
this plan out, and with the hope that
this turmoil will end soon.
Yours truly.

let 1918 be that year, when every ef-
fort is being made to put prohibition
in the state constitution. The basic
principles of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union are: total absti-
hence, purity and prohibition. In the
forty years Of their organization they
have steadily, persistently and consist
emily, through text books, literature
and public lectures brought scientific
temperance to the people of the state
until those who keep pace with
science must now know that alcoholic
beverages are poisonous, destructive
and degenerating to the human organ.

For the first time the voters of Min.
