1t is plain that what Mr.. Watson and Mr.. Howell succeeded in
doing for New Brunswick, Oliver W. Ramsay has failed to do for
Perth Amboy. The responsibility is entirely his. Mayor TenBroeck
has done his best to get relief for the city, but his hands are tied
when he is confronted with the United States government represented
in this city, as it is in this particular case, by a man who openly defes
the whole city.
The local merchants who have been compelled to close at 6 o'clock
when they see other places all about, equally under the jurisdiction
of the fuel administration, doing business as usual, are justified in
asking why and they have the right to engage a lawyer to speak for
them if they choose. To be insulted and accused Of lacking patriot
ism when exercising this right Of free American citizens is such an
outrageous state of affairs that it cannot help but be resented.
Mr.. Ramsay has a great habit of posing as the one great patriot
in the city and Of measuring everybody else's patriotism by his own.
Everybody who differs with him, it would seem, is unpatriotic. His
attack on the Perth Amboy Council of Defense because they dare
call for a congressional investigation Of the Morgan explosion is a
striking instance. With all due respect to Mr.. Ramsay, there re 9TH
crs in the city besides himself fully capable Of Judging patriotism and
loyalty
Mr.. Ramsay seems to take delight in summoning other people,
to meet and confer with him at the East Jersey Club, but when the
tables are turned and he is asked to meet and confer on an important
civic matter at the city hall, the seat Of all public affairs, he shows
indignation and leaves the meeting in a huff.
The fuel administrator in any community has important duties
10 perform. The very purpose of appointing such an administrator
was to work with the local authorities for the benefit Of the local
communities and we can readily see the advantage Of such an ar
rangement. But, as tho New Brunswick Home News points out, the
local fuel administrator, apparently, has not been looking after the
interests of this city as thoroughly as the fuel administrators of other
places have been looking after the interests of their respective COM
munities, Then when an attempt is made to get an explanation, those
who would like to know re practically told that 1t Is none of their
business,
Naturally, harmony has gone; cooperation Is impossible. The
people Of Perth Amboy want to do what IL right and are willing to
close their places of business altogether II they can be shown that 1t
is necessary for them to do so In order to help win the war, But they
must be shown, and the fuel administrator refuses to give any salts.

MIR. RAMSAY SHOULD RESIGN

The defiant attitude assumed by the county fuel administrator,
Oliver w. Ramsay, when asked to explain why Perth Amboy mer-
chants were being compelled to face bankruptcy by closing at b
o'clock four nights in the week while other towns and cities are open
until 9 o'clock, his display of temper and slurring remarks about
those who make bold to question his authority or who disagree with
him, have so far discredted him in this community that his useful
ness as a fuel administrator II any other office where the confidence
of the public is necessary, has gone.
Mr.. Ramsay should resign. His TRADE before the aldermen last
night only emphasizes his unftness for the office.
We are not unmindful of the time and energy that Nh. Ramsay
has given the work of the fuel administration and he has been most
aggressive in public affairs generally, but he has succeeded in 81 an
tagonizing the great majority of the people that his work henceforth
cannot help but be greatly hampered, if not absolutely without re-
suit.
AS we understand State Fuel Administrator Richard G. Jenkn-
son. the local fuel situation is entirely up to the fuel administrator
of Perth Amboy. The mayor, aldermen or other city officials have
nothing to do with it. Mr.. Jenkinson advises the merchants to get
in touch with the fuel administrator and try to come to some agree
ment. Now, that is just what the merchants of this city have tried
to do. but all they got were insults and abuse. In the meantime, 9th
er cities in the county and state are doing business as usual, keeping
open until 9 o'clock at night and Perth Amboy is closed.
The situation is clearly up to the fuel administrator of this city.
He is representing the United States government. The mayor aud
the Board of Aldermen can question, object and appeal, but they can
do nothing unless they take the position of defying the federal gov
eminent, which is something no patriotic citizen would do, especially
in war time.
Commenting on the question of fuel the New Brunswick Home
News draws this striking contrast:
"The significant part of the situation is that, while New
Brunswickers must needs conserve fuel to the utmost, there
is no requirement for drastic action such as taken in Perth
Amboy. We attribute this to the early work of Mr.. Watson,
supplemented by di1igent efforts on the part of the coal adj
ministrator for New Brunswick, William G. Howell. Both
have had the heartiest cooperation Of the coal dealers of this
city and their efforts have been crowned with a goody meas

Barber Invented orqan.

The organ is very ancient instrl-
ment. its invention being credited TO
Ctesibius of Alexandria, barber Of
the Egyptian city, in $50 b. G. 1t was
not until thousand years hter. how
ever. that they were first used in the
churches Of western Europe. One
chronicle asserts that Pope Vitalianus
installed an organ in n church in
Rome in the year 65S, while an ancient
french work records that King Pepn
erected one of the instruments in the
Church of st. Corneille at Compiegne,
in France in 7S7. 1t is probable that
organs were used in religious services
in the eastern empire many centuries
before they were introduced into west
ern Europe.
