YELVETY SUEDE GLOVES
IN GOOD TASTE NOW

When women stopped wearing the
chamois gloves they did not altogether
abandon this type of glove, for the
soft mocha and velvety suede seem
TO have quite taken their place.
These skins are so soft and fine, so
exquisite in texture, that it is small
wonder a dainty, fastidious woman
enjoys wearing them.
Black is always wanted, of course (;
white is quite fashionable. and deli
cate champagne shades, pearly grays
and soft fawn colors are equally
modish. Two clasps is the voguish
fastening on these dainty handcoyer-
ings.

Canton, Ohio. Sept. 24.-In the

thousand Democrats marched to the

Governor Judson Harmon deliver the

Governor Harmon confined his ad-
dress chiefly to a review of State Is.
sues, and especially to what he claim
ed had been the persistent efforts Of
the Republican Legislature to block
popular measures, which he had en-.
deavored to have enacted. In respect
to national politics, he scored the
Republican administration for what
he termed its wasteful expenditures,
and also attacked the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill as legislation inimical to
the interest of the consumers, who
would not be deceived by the fair
talk in attempts to defend It.
He declare that the Republican
party had not kept it's campaign
promise, and told his audience that
the only hope for the people lies In
the success Of a national Democratic
| ticket.
Atlee Pomerene, candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, followed Har-
mon. He made a bitter attack up
on Geo. B. Cox, of Cincinnati, and
incidentally scored President Taft for
the alliance which, the speaker said.

Cincinnati leader in 1908. MT. Pom

PROPITIATING THE SOUTH.
Administration Provides For Navy
Yards There

Washington, Sept. 23.-There are
indications that during the balance
of the Taft administration, and espe-
cially in the immediate future, tb/
various navy yards at New ORR. !,
Key West, Pensacola and Chan < u
will fare rather better than inNthe
closing days of the Roosevelt admin
istration, when the question of clos
ing these yards was decided against
the establishments.
Various little occurances in the
past few months have indicated the
drift Of sentiment in the Navy De-
partment, and it is believed that an
entirely different policy has been
adopted toward the Southern yards
than that which former President
Roosevelt tried to inaugurate at the
tail of his administration.
With the assent of Col. Roosevelt
orders were issued just before Secre-
tary Newberry went out of Office di-
recting that the various Southern
yards be closed on the ground that
from strategic point of view they
were not needed, that money could be
better spent on the larger yards at
New York, Philadelphia, Boston and
Norfolk, on the Atlantic coast, and
at Mare Island and Puget Sound. on
the Pacific.
Secretary Meyer, at the urgent re-
quest and camplaint Of Southern
Congressman and residents Of New
Orleans and the other places that
would have been affected by the clos
ing Of the yards. directed that the
Newberry order be rescinded. Then
came the last session of Congress
which ignored the action Of Secretary
Newberry and made appropriation.
for the various Southern yards. The
sum of s115,O00 was granted on the
one at New Orleans, and small
amounts were allowed for othel
yards IN the South to keep them il
l condition and provide certain mino
improvements.
