the suit Possibly 1t Is the return of the
plain tailormade walking suit that has led
up TO this vogue Of fancy fabrics instead
of plain weayes. The palmer the making
OF the garment the better the chances for
using fancy cloth.
The fancy striped brondcloths are first
in the rank OF fashion fayorites this fall.
There is a soft blend to the stripes In
this cloth, and the colors in which they
are brought ont are all In the dark and
soft tones. Two toned greys and browns,
and greens with brown, and blue with
brown are favorite combinations. Plain

It may be true that not all the value
will come to the state through the bill
creating the railroad commission and
outlining its duties which might have
accompanied legislation in which COM
promise and the necessity for general
agreement would have had no part
but it seems to be assured that some
very decided benefits to freight shippers
and the travelling public will come with
she railroad commission and its duties
and powers. Composed of men who
will treat the states railroad interests
equitablv and fairly but who will re-
guire of them reasonable adherence to
The laws requirements, the experiment
will be valuable to the railroads them
selves az well as to their patrons 1t is
possible that this expectation of salts
faction will not apply to the reciprocal
demurrage provision in the commission
hill. but even this feature of justice to
shippers will have value to the railroads
through the more active movement of
cars it will insure wlien fairly and fully
applied to all concerned.

There is hardly a manufactures in

Assoc alton Of Manu- ia ,turers favoring

The material from which these products
Are made and in lowering their labor
bill. Most of this material is produced
in our own country, and the labor tc

Any change brought about through

by conditions hurtful to all and actually
disastrous to many of the members of
