WHICH IS IT TO BE? t VOLUME 59. O CONSIDER the Port of New York and the development T thereof without including the New Jer side along with the New York side as co-ordinate parts of one whole would seem impossible for any one professing familiarity with the water- ways, dock systems and railway routes und terminals of this great metropolitan area. Sy When New York claims, and claims justly, the finest natural | harbor and waterfront facilities of any port in the world, it cannot afford to forget the fourteen terminals on the New Jersey shore connecting with vast rail systems to the West and South. New York cannot afford to forget what these rail systems and terminals mean to its commerce any more than New Jersey can afford to forget the advantages it derives from the immense concen- tration of business, banking and trade on the largest scale in nearby + New York. Nature has made the New York and New Jersey shores necessary z te each other. Just as back in the late eighteenth and early nino-) teenth century the closely related interests of New York and New Jersey in adjacent waterways led to constant friction and attempted | © adjustment, 60 now in the twentieth century these same closely related | interests are overwhelming argument for enlightened co-operation in| 8 development of the Port of New York that shall put it in a position to attract and hold its share of the greatest revival and expansion of commerce the world has ever seen. For New York and New Jersey to draw apart and improve their respective waterfronts independently and at cross purposes would be | to complicate instead of simplify the problem of readier transference | of freight, to incur the waste of friction where there should be the 4 } economy of co-ordination and to ruin all hope of a full realization of | the port's potential prestige and prosperity. | Yet that hope seems likely to be ruined or long deferred unless | the Board of Estimate and Apportionment of this city comes out of its state of short-sighted doubt and misgiving and approves the “Port Authority” plan. This plan, which provides for the co-operation of New York and| New Jersey, under treaty, in the carrying out of port improvements, has the approval of a Legislative Commission representing both States * and including the two Governors, Attorneys General and leaders in ¢ both Legislatures. The Chamber of Commerce, the Merchants’ Asso- ciation and other prominent organizations in this city indorse it. Tegislative action awaits only the approval of the City of New : York itself through the formal vote of the Board of Estimate and # Apportionment. Is that approval to be forthcoming before the New York Legis- lature adjourns? 21,043 ry , PMP L OM ONO RS ee Or is Mayor Hylan’s dislike of organizations and individuals who favor tle plan strong enough to deprive city and port of this immense benefit?

Qne hundred per cent Americanism in what Mayor Thompson called the “sixth German city:in the world” was not strong enough to beat the Thompson machine, The reduction of Thompson's plurality from the 147,000 of four years ago is significant as far as it goes.

Here was life insurance that was an investment; an asset to the purchaser himself, not—as he might selfishly think—a liability. Straight life insurance was continued for the benefit of those who only wanted protection, at a lower rate. The basic appeal of every form of insurance is individual selfishness. The live wire Insurance salesman weaves all his sales argument around this fundamental human instinct. Analogous to'the instinot of selfish- hess is the instinct of pride, Those two human traits provide all the sales angles necessiry in the sale of insurance, In straight life insurance, the ap- peal 1s along these lines: The cost 19 low, so you can put your extra savings in some other form of investment, It protects your it, together with accrued When experienced and efficient Police Inspectors like ( “ostigan | I've got to die to win.” IN- | estate, go that if you die, your un. and Morris are shelved the public naturally has an eye on their suc. |"™"*"°* ms og rend fe paid obligations are taken care of, = ceasors, SOBRTIOS EDAD.

While Mrs. Jarre waited, cold and impatient, Mr. Jarr attempted to as- cend from the basement stairs to the inside hall, “Hey, youse, you'll get pinched’— began the mikman, But Mr, Jarr identified himself and explained finding the door to up- stairs bolted fast, while Mrs, Jarr shrugged her shoulders to ease ber aching bones and whimpered, “['m sorry,” said the milkman, “that the door from the basement to the hall is fastened, But I can whistle up to your flat or any of your friends’ flats till L wake somebody to let you in.” “No, we've stood it this long.” said Mr, Jarr, scraping up @ litter of old newspapers from the steps. “Some- body will be coming out before long, or the janitor will come, He lives outside, Anyway, I don’t think you'd rouse anybody at this hour in the morning, and tf you did they'd be so angry they wouldn'c come down to open the outer door, “1 ot these in the cellar, scraped them up in the dark,” he added, as he saw the milkman eyeing some old newspapers he was clutching, “We'll sit on them to keep off the chill of (This is the first of ries 0: cles dealing with different classe; 7 7 and state what he can do, where and when for the dis- or twenty years the holder of the policy would himself draw the face! da: . statement en ea ARIS oN oP ote salesmen and the product °t sell. they The next of the periae will day after to-morrow. werd a tae front steps, while we walt, Tramps do that'in the parks, I hear,” “You're out o' luck,” said the milk. ‘man, “Elmér will open up down at Gus's to catch (he morning-dram trade pretty soon, and a little drop of whiskey will warm you and the | lady up.” Mrs, Jarr sniffed scornfully at the idea of her doing any such thing, and Mr. Jarr passed over a quarter with a request for secrecy. “I don't want the neighborhood to! get the laugh on us, said. you know," he “I'm Jerry!" replied the milkman, with a wink. “Come Dick!" and he went on bis rounds, leaving the Jarrs | with the uncomfortable feeling that both he ‘and the citywise horse he drove were laughing at them. “If you are cold maybe you'd better tet me get you"-—— “The idea!” snapped Mrs. Jarr, as! she saw Mr. Jarr casting a longing eye in the direction of Gus's still ex- isting cafe on the corner, “The idea of me drinking any Nquor—if I were freezing! I want a cup of coffee, a cup of good HOT coffee!” “Don’t mention it," muttered’ Mr. Jarr huskily, “Will no succor come?" And he began to kick at the heavy cuter door of the apartment house, partly to arouse somebody and partly to stop the tingling tn his feet; they, at least, were “asleep.” “Look!. Look!" cried Mrs, suddenly forgetting her bones, And there, turning the corner, as large as life—his samo self-satisfied self, telescope valise, shabby frayed overcoat, and knitted gloves and all —was Uncle Henry visiting once again! for Jarr, aching “Misfortunes never eried Mr, Jarr, hullo, Huno, Clara! exclaimed Uncle Henry genially, “What be you doing up this airly?
