AS New York had enough of skyscrapers? H Borough President McAneny’s Commttiee on the Re- striction of Building Heights is reported to be of the opinion that no building to be constructed should be higher than eighteen stories, nor should it have towers. Even as a business proposition the skyscraper is losing favor. Experts figure that anything beyond fourteen stories ceases to be really profitable. Building a gigantic structure on a given plot is “depressing” in every sense of the word to neighboring property. Every great city reaches a point sooner or later where it begins to see that it does not pay to let individual interests push and elbow ‘their way in any direction they see fit at the expense of the community. Leaving aside the question of beauty, experience has taught older cities that in the end a certain degree of structural uniformity pays. Does anybody think for a moment that London or Paris or Berlin could not have skyscrapers if they chose to leave private initiative free to do as it pleased? The idea that only an American metropolis is rich and enterprising enough to put up colossal fifty-story business buildings, that these monstrous structures of steel and plaster are the peculiar and exclusive monuments of wealth and prosperity, is a silly notion that we are rapidly outgrowing. It is not that European cities cannot afford skyscrapers. The fact is they don’t want them and wouldn’t have them at any price. All this quite apart from the question of sightliness. But will anybody contend that beauty is not a big municipal asset? Isn’t New York, after abandoning itsclf for years to chaotic crowding, p!fing and overloading at the hands of riotous real estate exploiters, now beginning to feel that it must get itself in hand and rearrange iteclf on more attractive and convenient lines? The same committee that belicves in limiting the height of build- inpe also recommends that the city be so apportioned that business buildings shall not be put up in residential sections and that certain kinds of business shall be confined to certain districts. New York is fast learning that too much individual freedom, when it means “to build,” “to encroach,” “to tower,” is not freedom bat license, and that auch license in the long run produces results that are ugly, inconvenient, inequitable and unprofitable. That the city is eying its boasted skyscrapers in a thoughtful and appraising frame of mind is a significant sign. 4 From the broadest municipal point of view Wt fr hetter to strike & good average than to be superlative in spots. Col. Harvey continues to prescribe for President Wilson, for- Getting that the latter is no longer his patient. A. MESSAGE EXPERT. N THESE busy days a Presidential message that fits neatly into two and a half newspaper columns which the average man can transfer to his cerebellum in twenty minutes is a joy. President Wilson has proved himself a master of the art of message writing. Anything more concise and comprehensive than the “eddress,” as he chose to call it, which the Chief Executive read to Oongrees yesterday would be hard to find. In 3,600 words he manages to cover eeven topics of first-rate importance to the nation in language that anybody oan grasp. Rather than be tedious he wisely prefers to elaborate on anti-trust legislation im a later moseage. His analysis of the Mexican situation is a brief, cogent handling of the “country that has no government.” His treatment of the “asurper and dictator” whose power and prestige are “daily cramb- ling away” to make room for the “constitutional order” which is the only condition in Mexico that this country can countenance, and for which we can well afford to watch and wait, is the eound, safe, Wilson policy im a nutshell, and will satisfy everybody but the red- Tag contingent. If these be schoolmaster’s messages, give ue more of them. We wager that never were Presidential messages more widely read, both en account of what they sey and the few words they take to say it. They recall the elder Mr. Weller’s sound theory of letter writing in “always making ’em wish there was more.” ey One thousand suffragtsts come to have tt out with Congress, tind De. Shaw declares they won't even say “please”! We hope that Congress will nevertheless take tts feet off the desk, and remember to say “Yes, ma'am,” end “No, e'am.” Somebody's got to keep up the politesse these’ days, Letters From the People “Monree Doctrine” im O14 Times.

TER THE HORMIT was a wandering monk. He wae also a dwarf, misshapen of form and thick bearded of face. He had @ gift of eloquence that lifted men out of themselves and stirred them to mad geal. Bitting astride a donkey in the central square of a French city one day in the eleventh century, and waving a great crucifix above hie head, Peter preached to the surrounding throng a sermon that awoke in his hear- ers’ hearts @ mighty impulse. This impulse was fed by later sermons and exhortations from the dwarf orator until it blazed forth at last into a holy war—a war which did not die out for hundreds of years, Peter, in his impassioned sermon, reminded the crowd that the Holy Sepulchre and the other sacred landmarks and shrines of Palestine were in the hands of Mohammedans—to mutilate or destroy at will—and that Qhristians could make pilgrimages to the Holy Land only at great peril and by permisaion of the country’s Moslem masters. Europe was ripe for a religious 1. Ané the revival, quickened into life by Peter's flery eloquence, took the form of @ mighty resolve to free Jerusalem from the cluteh of the unbelievers. The movement epread with incredit's foros and «peed. A host of men, from all stations in life, dropped their work, left her homes and followed Peter the Hermit across Hungary and to Constantinople on their way to Palestine. They were but small fraction of the full tite of humanity that eunged east- ward on the first of the several efforts to capture Jerusalem. The cry, “Deus Vult!" (God Wills it!") was rateed. The Pope and nearly every civilized mon- arch urged on the enterprise. The badges of the soldiers who marched te the holy war were in the form of a Cross, From this the movement was known as the “Crusade; a term that still eurvives to denote many an enterprise, which {a tn no way connected with religion, Godfrey de Boulllop, Duke of Lorraine, led a host to the Hoty Land, tn 204.
