SOME NEWS ! AND COMMENT; — - BREEZY OPINIONS AND NEWS ; I j ' Items Satkere* by Star aid ! Ware Reporters ail Unseat i oa Carreat Ereats 1 The Atlantic Review says : 1 "We confess ourselves to be somewhat puzzled to discover the logic in I the attack in the Oape Kay Star and ■ Wave, which charges that Atlantic , Oity has been advertising a safe harbor for vessels which drafe more than eight feet of water. .No claim has ever i been made that more water existed, and it hss been one of tbe battles the resort has been waging to secure Federal aid to deepen the water on the 1 bar in order to admit vessels into tbe j roadstead, big and deep enough to accommodate a fleet of ocean sailing steamers. The Star and Wave says : 1 "The loss of the New York yacht « 'Mist' on the Atlantic- Oity shore, I after endeavoring to enter the inlet, ( shows how foolish it is to talk of a harbor there, which millions oouid not make safe, nor feaaibie. If the 'Mist' - had continued down the coast to Oape i she could have entered our harbor | with perfect safety, as other and larger . yachts have done under similar circumstances. It is the hot air handed out by tbe Atlantic City artiste, on I their posession of a harbor which | causes these accidents, by deceiving yachtsmen, and that city should be compelled to pay for every vessel lost. ' It might teach them to speak more i truthfully." We submit that th«re is no "atfack' i in the article criticised, simplv a state- I ment of facts with perfectly logical ' deductions. But did anybody ever hear of an; Atlantic City man or newspaper I in the hundreds of real "attacks" made from these sources upon Oape i May ever stopping to be logical or i even truthful'/ The Atlantic Oity sit- i uation is simple. Oape May has ob- i tained a government appropriation I and as Atlantic must monopolize all | i 1 privileges and advantages, it wants j i everything which any resort may have 1 Hence it wants a government appropriation ao that it may|make thia addi- j < tion to its advertised "advantages." ! i The mere fact that it has uo nucleus I - ' from which a harbor nfay be developed and has done nothing to show its faith I in the matter, excepting in resoluting I and submitting exaggerated state- 1 ments, makes no difference. Oape j May has an appropriation, therefore, j < Atlantic must have. From tbe state- j ments of Atlantic's own advocates the i whole proposition reduces to an ab- j surdity. These advocates all insist that the Oape May harbor is a failure j and if this could be true, with all of i tbe advantages we possess here, | acknowledged by all seafaring men, it j - is more than absurd to imagine that I the poorest and most trea&erous inlets on the coast, which are those at Atlantic Oity, could posaibly be developed into harbor entrances or materially deepened. I should go ahead slow on the matter of endorsing such foolishness. Moreover Oape May's capitalists spent four millions to make a harbor before soliciting government aid and ' Atlantic Oity's expenditure consists of several thousand coble feet of hot air, and alcoholic vapor and a ream or two of expanded statistics. Tbe Ocean Oity Sentinel speaks thus reasonably on tbe bridge question : » "Tbe Sentinel, aa always, to in favor of anything that will halp the progress of thia resort. While it woald be and is willing to do all within its power in advocacy of snob a bridge, this paper, after doe consideration. feels that the project to doomed to failure. Tbe bridge to a link in tbe ocean , boulevard which, after It ^eaaas I leasers' Point, win ran throegh thirty ' aritaaef ktfeto county. Meet of thto beetoverd will be wittaa hailiagdtotence of several of thto eo— ty saaeteei the* tf the Mfce to iw tab

Ocean Oity thia resort will be a large 1 beneficiary. Senator Hand, being elected by the -W people of Oape May County, has CX»q pressed himself in favor of Basel ey'aj Point. There was seemingly nothing 1 else far him to do. He to not in Tron- • ' ton to represent any particular section, and on tbe .surface it looks to the peo- j pie of other parts of the county that *1 were tbe bridge built into this resort ! it would be all Atlantic Oity and Ocean 3 Oity. While the Sentinel is in favor, ss ' before said, of having the bridge built i from Somen' Point to Ooean Oity, it would much rather 'have it from Somen* Point to Beesley'a Point than I not at all. The Sentinel is not so selfish or short sighted as to try to kill - an important project if it cannot hava what it wants." Tbe American people do not like tha word subsidy. It carries with it an impression that brings up the Hessian soldi, rs of the Revolution, the reptile press of the Bismarck era and other sensations |none the less unpleasant ' they are undefined. When a j ship subsidy was proposed as the only remedy for the decadence of tha American merchant marine tbe people revolted by instinct. They thought they saw endless graft and they would have none of it. Later when a more rational proposition was made and it was believed that tbe Postal Department could make contracts for establishing mail linaa in American ships to ports where we need the facilities the opponents of American shipping called this also a subsidy scheme and those wtio knew no ' better were opposed to it just as they to the subsidy plan. This is an error and where it prevails it is doing the whole nation an injury, Then£is no buainess that affects so lines of industry as snip building. It requires a great deal of labor and' material. The labor must bo skilled, and consequently ipvolvea J bigli earning power. The materials j must be first class because men's livea depend upon tbe staunenness of the ; uutside of the freight earning power of tbe ships wben built, tbe building - ' of ship* means prosperity and steady employment to a great many artisans. I Regular tinea of steamers create busiI nesa. Outward bound they carry our products of farm and factory, and they must get return cargoes. The search i for these makes business at the far j end of the line. They create r. ciprocal j interest in the countries they connect ! tbat maintains commerce. In the time of war the ships can be used by the government for transport j service and th| crews offer recruits for the navy which in time ofjneed are I hard to obtain. The fate of tbe great | Russian fleet shows wnat comes of I mancing ships with untrained landsI men. A seasick sailor is about aa useless an incumbrance on a ship as can be imaginedIf tne present bill passes Congress it ' will not produce subsidies. It will call for bids from those willing to build and operate steamship lines to carry American mails and the lowest bidders will get the oon tracts. Tha compensation will be the same as to now paid toother common carries far mail service. What the mail contracts have done for railroad construction and operation in the West, mailjoon tracts will do for steam lines to foreign ports. They will cause the building i of new ships and tbe creation of new commercial arteries which will benefit alQengaged m manufactures and all i who deal in imported ■wrhandlse, be- > I aides giving employmenet to thousande in shipyards and ; elsewhere in providing the labor and material required ia i ship bonding and operation.
