alone fashionable feature OF the
season, it is also an eminently prac-
teal one Few, If any, of the coats
are really sufficiently warm for actual
cold weather, and this extra garment
allows of varying the weight as the
day demands. Velvet broadcloth,
brocade, embroidery, all are called
into requisition. Broadcloth is used
both plain and deliberately braided,
velvet both Of the plain and the
fancy sorts is well liked and, indeed,
almost every material Of similar
sort is used, and the garment can be
made plain or elaborate as the cos
tune demands one sort or the other.
This model is peculiarly desirable, as
1t allows choice of single or double
breasted closing and Of the regular

can be evolved by using the single
breasted model, emitting the collar

FORT STANDS FIRM

HOME RULE IN ALL TAXATION
Against the SpoiIs System and For
the Regulation Of Corporations
and Franchise Father,
Eighty Years Old, Present.

Eighty Years Old, Present.
Trenton, N. Coy. John Franklin
Fort was indicted into Office in Tay-
lor's Opera House. Chief Justice
Gummere administered the oath Of
Office, and Governor Stokes at once
delivered the seal Of the State into
the keeping of the new Governor and
stepped back.
An incident connected with the
Inauguration was the presence Of four
generations of the Fort family in the
Opera House. The oldest member,
Andrew Fort, father Of the Governor,
is eighty years old, and he made the
trip from Mount Holly in an automo-
bile, a physician accompanying him.
Although he is deaf, he joined in the
applause he saw the rest of his audi
ence give to his son when he made
some telling hit in his speech.
Governor Fort, in mis- inaugural,
spoke emphatically on the excise
question He asserted that the peo-
pie at the late election declared for
the enforcement of the Bishops law.
He said: During my term l shall
regard it as an obligation cast upon
me by the people to veto any measure
suggesting any modification of exist
ing law on the question of the sale of
liquor on Sunday He said that it
is the duty of the Executive, the
courts, and every Prosecutor, Mayor
and Magistrate to enforce the closing
of all places where intoxicants are
sold on Sunday.
Governor Fort urges the abolition
of the County Boards of Taxation.
He points out the great cost of these
boards on the State and counties,
questions If there was ever any rea-
son for their creation, and then says
IL the reason was for the equalization
of taxes, then the two years they have
been established is long enough
time to accomplish this end, and
their further existence is unneces-
sary.
The Governor said it is self-evi-
dent the boards have, by increasing
the value of the property of the in
dividual taxpayer, SO reduced the
average rate of taxation throughout
the State that the tax on the main
stem and other property of the rail-
roads has been largely reduced. The
Governor urged return not only to
the local assessment of property, but
to the review of assessments by local
boards of appeal.
Governor Fort said he would sign
any fair bill intended to abolish the
spoils system in State, counties and
municipalities.
He declared that there should be
but one commission in the State for
the regulation Of railroads and all
public utilities companies. Proper
control would tend to give the pub
lie confidence in the securities of
these corporations.
