The money has been working all the time. In fact it has saved more than its interest the last year. By having it the city was able to save the in terest on $160,000. This sum was voted for bridge and paving bonds. It was not all needed at once, so the city just temporarily borrowed the dock money and staved off the issuing of the $160,000 bonds for .a year, saving the people all that interest. Anyway the $100,000 is not enough to build a dock. It will take more than twice that to erect a permanent one, and certainly no one will want the money spent for a wooden building. *■ The city now contemplates waiting until the people vote additional rev enue, then combining it with this and erecting a modern, sanitary, fireproof municipal dock, cold storage and public market building that will be a money maker for the cify from the start. * Legal quibbles have delayed the cold storage proposition temporarily, but plans will all be made ready, and by next year the decks will be cleared so that this fine project can be put through. With it probably will be a prop osition to buy the additional waterfront up to the bend north of the present dock. The space below the bridjp is rapidly being filled by the city with small manufacturing plants that are more than paying the interest and sink ing fund charges on that property. The whole municipal dock business of the city is in fact getting in fine shape. By next year the city, it is believed, will be ready to expand and put the city into the position of being able to absolutely dominate the water front. That $100,000 in the dock fund is all right. It is working and paying its own way until the people get ready to have it used for the great forward movement. The Brute and the Man Like most of us, John H. Patterson of Dayton, has two personalities. Aa the official head of the National Cash Register Co. he was the strong, capable, remorseless captain of industry—a Napoleon of Big Business, rush- Ing pitilessly over all obstacles, destroying everything that crossed his path. And Uncle Sam prosecuted and convicted him, and sentenced him to a year in the jail at Troy, Ohio. Whereat the world was satisfied and said: "Serves him right!" Then came catastrophe—the awful floods in Ohio, leaving death, destruc tion and human suffering in their wake. Throwing off the habit of the captain of industry, John H. Patterson, the MAN, stepped forth—and all that tremendous energy, that forceful execu tive ability and wonderful capacity for doing things, were exerted for the welfare of others. And now there goes up a prayer to the president that John H. Patterson be pardoned and saved the ignomy of a term in jail. For those who saw nothing to admire in the keen, selfish, remorseless cap tain of industry, who rose to industrial and financial success on the pros trate forms of his competitors, now see much to admire, and even to love, in John H. Patterson, the MAN. i So it is with most of us. There is much good in everybody—and its en emy is Selfishness. There is much happiness for all of us—in living and doing for others. And man rises to his noblest estate when he forgets self and serves hu manity for the love of his kind and the joy of service. If man only knew, he can easily have the love of his fellows, or their Hatred. What we give the world, the world gives back to us—and with in terest. ! And whatever may be the fate of John H. Patterson now, we imagine the joy in his heart that has come from service to humanity, has overcome the fear of that prison sentence —for he feels the good he lias done as a MAN. He '11 be happy yet if the awful flood of the Miami valley washed away his selfishness of the mere striver for individual success and rescued from that wreckage John H. Patterson, the man and brother. There is a lesson here for other money-mad captains of industry. Hope For The Best Washingtotn Post bids fair to go into mourning because "there is not a legislature in any state that has not before it some measure to interfere with individual rights." This is not only true of legislatures but of churches, saloons, stores and factories. No institution composed of numbers of people can long thrive with individual conduct unrestricted, and mighty few institutions every try to do it. Just now the country is aroused over the accursed things that have been done by individuals who have assumed rights, and it is not at all remarkable that among some 30,000 or 40,000 new bills in legislatures we have a few pro hibiting the right of women to wear transparent stockings, or a husband to kiss his wife in public, or such rights. Before the improvement clubs waste their time and energy voting that the city pay back money paid for water mains, they should inquire as to wheth er the city can legally do it..

S|m-i ml Cartoonist of the Times. The Garrison finish of tracfic tradition has nothing on the Gar rison start as exhibited by Presi dent Wilson's new secretary of war. This cabinet officer spent just about the time of a taxicab voyage from the capitol to the war department between taking his oath of office and getting down on the job. The formali ties attendant upon his induction into his overcoat and hat on a peg and sitting down behind the big mahogany desk reserved for the boss of the army. A Georgia mammy, reversing the browning corncakes on a steaming griddle, could show no greater facility in turning things upside down than did Garrison when he began to tackle the prob lem which his new work present ed. Garrison has a startling di rectness of manner. He doesn't beat around the conversational bush; he Jumps over It. Take the case of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, for some time chief of staff. It's a wide-open secret that many of Mr. Garrison's offi cial advisers of the department hold no kindly feeling toward the man who rose from army sur geon to tho highest military rank within fifteen years over the heads of men years his senior in age and service. Here is a con versation which took place in the presence of at least a half dozen I>ersons in the secretary's office the other day. "Have any congressmen spok en to you against General Wood since the 4th of March, Mr. Sec retary?" inquired a searcher aft er truth, and then continued, "Can you answer that?" Secretary Garrison shot a quiz zical glanre at the questioner, a newspaper correspondent, and re plied, with a somewhat discon certing avoidance of evasion: "Yes, I can answer, but I won't." Garrison has nearly a couple of years to travel before he reaches the half-century mark. His iron gray hair is an accident and not a symptom of advancing years. His brusquenesß is more a man nerism than an evidence of lack of sympathy. He is a six-cylin der worker and already has earn ed among those who have come In contact with him the title of the "live wire of the administra tion." The secretary enjoys the dis tinction of having been born in the state from which he was ap pointed to the cabinet. Camden, N. J., was his birthplace, and his activities up to the time he was offered this Job had taken him no farther than Jersey City,"" where he sat as vice chancellor. The Job of vice chancellor la no sine cure. Legal attainments are necessary for the proper I dis charge of the duties of the place, but . the prime requisite to horse sense. The cases brought before a New Jersey vice chancellor in volve questions of equity rather than those of statute law. It was Just this experience in an equity court that brought Garri «ion Into the cabinet. When Wood row . Wilson ad vanced | from apprentice to Jour neyman cabinet-maker he decid «d . "that' the;.war :.' department needed for its own good' a chief who' could decide canes on j their merits and leave the statute law end ■of ' the • business' to the >". de partment '" of i justice. *- He knew Garrison—had known him '; for yearn und was; sure that prece dent, ■,: formula ' and * traditions would weigh little In the balance against common' aenee when :he Tne»d»r, April g, 1913. had a question to decide. Thus Garrison as secretary of war. The new secretary knows he has a big job ahead of him. His announcement of the depart ment's intention to increase the efficiency of the army Indicates his realization of the possibilities of some scrapping before be hands over his portfolio. He wants to be ready. This part of his program Is joy to the army, roller-top desk fossils and eager shave-tails alike. And they're predicting that he'll round the course and come under the r wire in a form befitting the traditions of his turf-blest name. DRUNKENEbS is a curable disease, which re quires treatment.
