E RID OF BURLESON

If Postmaster Burleson wants to know why fault is being found
with the mail service he can learn readily enough from a series OF
articles being published in The New Republic at the present time The
actual conditions stating routes and locations IT given in great detail
and anyone can readily understand.
But Burleson does not want to understand
He has continually defed the country. Business mems ogani-
cations and all kinds of civic bodies have pettioned him for relief, but
he has replied by telling n and all that not only is there nothing the
matter with the mail service, but that it is more efficient than ever
Mr.. Burleson is a fool.
Being forced finally to listen to some of the complaints he started
out by saying that he win hear any suggestions that might be offered,
but will absolutely refuse to change the very things that are at the
bottom of the rotten service the country is now receiving.
Not satisfied with demoralizing the postal service, he has pro-
ceeded to take over the telegraph and telephone service of the country
and has started both of these on their way to wreck and ruin.
Never has service been so bad by mail or wire.
Burleson is now reaping the whirlwind in the great telephone
strike in New England. Leading men of that section readily see the
root of the trouble. 1t is to be found in the head of the Post Office
Department at Washington
Burlesoni
The New Republic is doing a great service in showing Burleson
up in his proper light. One article is entitled: 'Mr. B~urleson-sweat
shopper" This has to do with the save-driving tactics that the
Post Office has adopted under the Burleson regime. Another article
is entitled sMr. Burleson-Service Wrecker ;" This deals with the de-
moralization of the service and mentions spacifc cases where mails
are delayed and trains abandoned.
If there is any one man that stands out as the Jonah of this adj
minRtration more than any other, it is Postmaster General Bur-
Lesson.
Recent cables sent to President Wilson at Paris state that Bur-
Lesson is wrecking the Il Democratic party. He is doing more than that.
lie is wrecking the business of the country.

ANOTHER BANK

Nothing shows the growth and development of Perth Amboy bet
ter than the increasing number of financial institutions being esab-
lished here. 1t was but two or three years ago that the Raritan Trust
Company was organized. At that time Perth Amboy had a trust COM
pany, a national bank and a savings institution. The prediction was
made that the newcomer could not succeed. Today ii IS in a flourish
ing condition. AT the same time the other banks are doing a greater
volume of business than ever before in their history.
Now another bank is about to be started. That there is room for
it there is not the slightest doubt The establishing of the new City Ma
tionalBank only means the more business here. 1t means a larger and
greater city. It means that we are becoming an important financial
center It is another move in advance for Perth Amboy.
Another financial institution is to be started In South Amboy.
There IT. IS a trust company that is about to open its doors South Am
boy now has only a national bank.
The starting of these two banks in this vicinity indicates most
clearly the prosperous condition of this section. Banks could not be
opened if there were not plenty of money. The outlook is certainly
most encouraging

BOOKS FOR SOLDIERS

When the message comes direct from General Pershing himself
that three quarters of a million books are needed badly for the men
overseas 1t is time to give the appeal serious attention
Pershing has sent the message That is enough.
The campaign starts Monday. Within the next week 100000
books, two-fhrds of the required amount, are going to be collected
throughout the country and rushed to the boys cover there"
In Perth Amboy it is expected to collect 900 books.
The appeal has gone forth. Boy scouts viii call at the houses and
those having books to donate to the soldiers viii hand them out.
Nearly everyone has at least one book at home that they are
through with books that have been read and that are not likely to be
read in your home again. They are probably only gathering dust
somewhere.
At this particular time of the year the housewife is only too anx-
ious to get rid of anything that has a tendency to gather dust
Give those books to the boy scouts when they call and accomplish
! double purpose in your housekeeping.
If you haven't got a book to send to the soldiers, buy one and
hand II to the scout when he calls. 1t is a little thing to do, but it
counts big in the aggregate.
Perth Amboy should not fail in her campaign for 1000 books for
soldiers at this time.

GETS out for the West with her mill

beyond discovering miles OF sage
brush, mines thousands Of feet deep,

But on her return to her social
