VALUE OF A HARBOR
TO COUNTY REALTY
1t Was Demonstrated at
Brightwaters at a Cost
of $250,000.

THE importance Of avoiding super
fetal development of waterfront prop
ertv cannot be overestimated, says !.
b. Ackerson. whose company ouut the
largest private yacht harbor IN exist
ence.
"Thoroughness must be the keynote
of the developer who would give 10 his
residents the same degree of comfort
in the endowment Of their water sports
as they are accustomed TO receive IN
their land SPORTS adds Mr. Ackersor.
"Naterfront improvements, such as
piers. docks, bathing payiliUns, break

bulkheading of harDors. naturally TO

houses. tennis courts and the Ike. re
importance of thoroughness Is self
evident If you consider the worthless
ness of any waterfront Improvement
that is not absolutely complete IN every
detail. Imagine. for example, the tu-
tiljty of canal dredged to only half
ITS REQUIRED depth. OF course, thor
oughness requires an immense capital,
the solution of the waterfront probl m
at Brightwaters having cost Us more
than S250,O00. But our residents say
its worth il, and, after all. u is the
satisfied residents who make place
worth while
The S25O.0O0 which Mr. Ackcrson re
ferred to was expended six years ago
in creating at Brightwaters grand
canal known to thousands Of yachts
men and motorists all over the country
as the Venetian Yacht Harborl, extend

The effect which this harbor improve
ment has had upon realty in Bright
waters is best evidenced by the mate
rial increase in the entire 1,300-acre
tract, an increase that was manifest
from the outset following the harbor's
completion. but the company has not
increased its prices am further IN the
last three years.
II is sclf-evident that no man of even
substantial means would ever dream Of
building for his own use a $-5O.OOo

Decay Of a National Soul.

II is q colossal sin against God and
IT is premeditated murder. 1t is re-
lapse into dark and savage barbarisr.
In this there is something worse than
the death calamity in the papers. IL
is the decay of national SOUL
from the sermon Of Rev. John II. Jow'
EFT, Pastor of the Fifth Avenue PresoE
terrain church, New York;
Indeed does not the decay Of ma =
t:onal soul" advance with the progress
Of militarism? Can a nation subordi-
nate everything to the one obsession
Of upbuilding military strength and
rot deaden its moral fiber and reduce
its chances Of God-given inspiration
Could America devote itself to the one
great policy Of fitting itself to domi-
nate the world, to upbuild the equip
nent, the military genius and the
confidence that could defy any group
OF nations. without itself becoming
more or less Indifferent to woe and
suffering, and hardened TO the viola
ton of humane usages and sacred
things?
We believe that decay Of a ma
tional SOUL" is the logical outgrowth
of the great triple alliance OF greed
commercialism and militarisnl-the
second to crafty the first and the
third to assure the second.

The Difference.

To say that the Lusitania had am
what it had was a threat that il
would be sunk without warning. The
two things are as different as can well
be-Springield Republican.
Is that true in every particular!
Were those who had engaged passage
on the Lusitania warned that she
would be sunk without warning?
Is it not true that the warning con-
veyed the threat that she would BE-
sunk-but who in all humanity be-
.lieved that the head Of a great nation
would order 1000 non-conbatants sent
into eternity without that chance for
life always accorded by the rules OF
civilized warfare? Did any person
who sailed on the Inflated British
steamer for a moment consider the
possibility that the ship would be tor
pedoed without first giving the women
and children, at least an opportunity
to climb into the life boats?
We think not The two things seem
to US much farther apart than our
exchange suggests in the contrasl =
presents.
And now Germany resents she fact
that Americans had more confidence
in her humanity than events JUSTIFY.
