TfjnTRviitv 1 entered at post office

ot the second class under the Act of Con
,crtMof March i, 1879.
The Review has decided not to
publish any of the details con
carninir the unfortunate
nrnurronco which took tllticc in
St. Johns last week. While not
publishing such items in de
tail mav not be the part of uood
nowspapordom, yet, since, the
Review goes into so many homes
where it is read bv youmr chil
dren, we would sooner plead
guilty to this charge than place
such matter before the young.
Final decision of the Portland
dock commission to erect a dry
dock caimblo of lifting a 12.600
ton vessel Is an unrnoat of the
city's determination to provide
adequately not only for printout
lint for future commerce. It is
an expression of confidence that
Portland will load more ships as
Hlilni) ntr finds its n ace on sullied
routes and that there will bo
buainosi for the new dock by the
time- it Ik l'uiiiii eted.
The dock commission is on Hit
rliibt track in voting to build
tho drydock and in deciding to
build 11 second n or at St. Johns.
The dead hand of the shipping
hoard will not always bu on the
commerce of Portland, lis grip
may bu forcibly broken this year,
and the more business we can
accommodate the more we shall
irut. Modern water transnorta
lion may be established on the
upper ''olumhiu, bringing bsck
here much of the tralllc which
unlit! railroad rates have di
vurturi, It is necessary that
Portland be rjndv for this new
commerce when it comes. It
will not sulllfo to begin construe
tion when tho demand arises
Wo should always build ahead
of immediate needs.
A groitl merit of St. Johns ter
minal situ is Unit it is largd
enouirh to admit of this contin
uouh expansion, with such group
inu of structures iih will con
duce to economy in operation
and to the convenience ol ship
ping men, also with space for in
( ustr us which need to lie near
such facilities. The commission
does not plan piecemeal; it plans
far enough ahead to insure that
each new structure will IU into
its guuural scheme.- Oregonian.
A Fair Day's Work
With representatives of the
manufacturers and the striking
ailk workers of Patorson at Wash
ingtou today in an endeavor to
have the War IhIhh hourd end the
present Htrike by llxing the hours
of work on a minis fair to both
employer anil employed, Pntorson
is mightily interested in any dis-
uiission of tlio question as to
what constitutes a fair day's
work.
The organized trades of Pater
sou nfllliatod with the A. F. of L
have considered that eight hours
u day. forty -eiultt hours n week
constitute a fair day's work.
Somu factions of the silk strikers
maintain that n forty-seven hour
week is lair, while others d
maud u forty-four hour week.
und the proiwuition has also lnx.ni
that a five-day week of eight
hours a dsy was all that should
bo worked,
Men live on what they produce.
Any general reduction of the out
put of necessaries of life lowers
tho standard ot living. The im
provement in the condition of the
Amurican people since the Re.
volution is due entirely to in
crease in production. We con.
sumo more fowl, more clothing,
more luxuries; we are better
housed and we have more amuse.

power 01 a uays wanes,
Shorter hours of work are de
manded. It is prolmhlo that the
eight-hour day will bocome the
standard, but some classes of
labor domund tho forty hour
weeK wiiicti is loss than a seven
hour day.
If thoworkiiiL'dav is
shortened to such a deirroe. nro-
duction wui no reduced and a
day's wnges, no mattor what it
may bo in dollars and cents, will
buy less of tho necessaries of
life, because the total production
of real wealth will be reduced.
Labor should Btudy what is
best for itself and the most im-
portant thing is what should
constitute a day's work. One
way of arriving at this is for
each workman to consider what
he would do if working for him
se'f. If ho 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
dny't) work regularly ho 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 ho should do when working
for another. No industrious
gardoner 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.
Nothing to Do About It
There Is a pathos In the help
loBsnoss of babies
Even those that arc fat und
healthy and happy.
A baby dosn't know what kind
of a mess
It has got into by being born.
Possibly if it could have had
its say
It would have preferred not to
have been born,
And babies are never consult
ed on that point.
And ho they arrive, sometimes
welcome,
Quite as often not.
And hang around until they
see
What the world is going to
for them.
Pretty generally, no doubt
they're disappointed.
Perhaps they don't think deej
ly upon the subject,
For a baby is not erudite.
Rut if they havoany they must
lie
"Long, long thoughts."
And however long they may bu
When they're older they'll bu
longer.
Hut there dousn't seem to
anything
be
To do about it that we can
think of
Just now.- Hx.
