BABY's FIRST SHORT DRESS.
Varied Choice of Styles Offered to
Young Mothers.

There are some very becoming
styles for making the baby's first short
white dresses. A sheer dress Of won
derful beauty is made of handkerchief
linen with the short sleeves finished
with cuffs of lace three inches deea
above the elbows. Insertion of the
same width forms small square yoke
and extends down the side of the
dress and around the waist in the
Russian suit pattern. The skirt is
plated to the lace belt.
A Mother Hubbard style shows the
skirt stitched to two-inch band of
lace on the yoke edge, while narrow
strips OF lace, pointed on the end, ex-
tend from the yoke to almost the top
OF the three-inch hem. Two strips are
placed In the front and two in the
back.
Another neat little slip pattern is
tucked for the yoke and inset with
triangle-shaped lace medallions. The
sleeves are made in with the other
portions Of the garment.
Blue and white shepherds plaid.

VARIETY OF BLOUSE SUITS.
Clothes That Please Alike the Little
Boy and His Mother.

For the little boys nothing is pretti-
er than the blouse suits, and these
allow of almost infinite variety and
charm. Just now the black and vel
vet and velveteen with the big sailor
collar scalloped with white silk, and
worn with white shield Is much liked.
Dark blue velvet and velveteen are al
ways handsome, and, for the very tiny
boys, white ribbed silk Is charming
in the extreme. Again, the black suits
can be worn with all white collars
either In pique or of silk, with the re.
suit that even while style and cut re-
main the same there need be nothing
more like monotony in the tiny boys
costumes than Is found In his sisters
For the older boys the tuxedo is the
accepted costume, but 1t can be made
of velvet, velveteen or cloth, as pre-
ferred. or as seems most appropriate
to the boys age and condition. Stock
ings are preferred of black silk and
with them are worn black pumps, ex-
cept in the case of the little boys with
their white suits, when stockings are
of white silk and shoes are of black
patent leather with white kid uppers.
For the little girls hosiery is very
dainty and beautiful, being of soft
ribbed silk There are whole host
of pretty shoes for the younger con-
tingent, as we'll as the older, is
essentially feminine just now and
wears the daintiest of foot coverings
whenever occasion allows.

Col. Goethals, head of the Panama
canal commission, has recommended
and President Roosevelt has approved
an important change of plan which
will mean much in the way of econo
my and improved efficiency. The al
iteration will consist of constructing
the dams and locks ON the Pacific side
four miles further inland than was in
contemplation. The advantages
claimed as certain to accrue from this
change are numerous. Among them
may be mentioned the fact that the
work can be done at an estimated
saving of $10.000,000. 1t is also as
serted that much better foundations
can be found at the new site, where
there will be no difficulty in getting
down to bed rock; that the change
permits better defense, and that the
work can be done more expeditiously
than If the old plan had been carried
out. The change is one which the
president reserved the right to make,
and as 1t appears to be unquestion-
ably in the public interest and In the
direction of better, more rapid and
more economical work on the canal
there is no doubt 1t will have popular
approval

We did not try TO ignore. One candi-
date was our friend and neighbor;
the other talked prohibition in a way
that We liked. Because a man is one S
friend is not a sufficient reason for
trying TO make him governor. Neither
is prohibition platform. although We
like 1.-THE only qualification neces-
sary for a good governor.
What Florida needs in our estima-
ton, Is governor who will carry out
the policy of Governor Broward. One
whose prohibition is a life habit not
a campaign dodge
We want a governor whose previous
record is clean, whose private life is
lrTeproachab e, whose sidebOard does
not tempt guests to look upon the
wine when it is red.
Furthermore We want Christian
gentleman and his family in the
governors mansion. We want man
OF brain, executive ability and indus
try at the head of our state affairs.
One who has the respect and con
fldence Of the people of the state. A
man of culture he should be, but cul-
ture is second after all to that no
bllIty of character that desires to be-
come governor that he may help the
people TO more advantages and save
them from unjust treatment by the
powerful.
All these traits that we deem neceS-
Sary in our future governor, We be-
heVe Hon. JnO. y. c. Stockton, Of
JacksonYllle, possesses in greater
measure than any other candidate for
governor now before the people. Let

Arbitration
Tribunal Needed.

That there must be a legally con-
stituted board of arbitration to settle
disputes between labor and capital
and avoid strikes is an idea which is
rapidly growing all over this country,
and prevailing conditions in Pensa-
cola are doing much TO help that
growth. In the economy OF Nature
and the providence of God there is a
remedy for every wrong, a correction
for every error, an adjustment for every
grievance. and compulsory arbitration
seems likely TO come along in the
evolution of human affairs TO furnish
the remedy for whatever differences
may arise from the relations of labor
and capital. 1t is not improbable that
within a decade such tribunal
created by congress will be in opera
ton.
The Tampa Times, in discussing
this question as related to recent acts
of violence committed by unknown
parties, resulting from the strike in
this city, says:
The incident simply emphasizes the
point made by the Times on occasions
without number that there is an alb
solute necessity for a properly con-
stituted tribunal TO decide disputes
between employers and their men.
AS things now are, when trouble
arises, the employer has the whole
machinery of the law at his service,
the original question is lost sight of
and the men have no show to ad-
vance any argument on their side of
the case. Under these well known
circumstances, il is surprising that
striking men will resort to violenee
and the breaking of the laws By so
doing they simply cut all solid ground
from under their feet
These clear, dispassionate words
ought to commend themselves to peo-
pie of all classes, regardless of their
sympathies, for it must be obvious
that with the incessant recurrence of
strikes and no legal means to adjust
them in fairness and equity to all
parties. there will be no limit to the
troubles ahead Of the country and
every form of enterprise must in time
yield to an influence SO profoundly de-
pressing.
The labor unions immediately in
Volved are perhaps the heaviest suf-
ferers from these strikes. and organ
lied labor should be foremost in the
demand for legal tribunal to fairly
arbitrate the differences which pro
woke the collisions between the two
great divisions of society.
