Final decision of the Portland
dock commission TO erect a dry
dock capable of lifting a IL, 800
ton vessel is an earnest Of the
city's determination TO provide
adequately not only for present
but for future commerce. IL is
an expression Of confidence that
Portland will load more ships as
shipping finds its place on settled
routes and that there will be
business for the new dock by the
time it is completed.
The dock commission is on the
right track in voting to build
the drydock and in deciding to
build n second pier at st. Johns.
The dead hand Of the shipping
board will not always be on the
commerce Of Portland. It's grip
may be forcibly broken this year,
and the more business we can
accommodate the more we shall
get. Modern water transporta
tion may be established on the

here much Of the traffic which

constitute a days work. One
way of arriving at this is for
each workman to consider what
he would do if working for him
self. If he had a little workshop
or farm of his own how many
hours a day would he work? If
he worked too long and too hard
he would wear himself out too
soon. If he did not put in a good
days work regularly he would
have to get along with less good
food, clothing and entertain
ment. If the individual work.
man can decide what he would
do for himself, he will arrive at
what he should do when working
for another. No Industrious
gardener or cobbler working for
himself would call it a day after
working less than seven hours.
This point Of view is worth
taking. Patterson News.
