scholarship anywhere in this study it is in the
matter of the Dogaressa's precise status the
consort of the ruler of Venice. That she shared
his splendOr occasions of public ceremonial
is obvious enough, and it is equally plain that
when she a woman of character she was
his true helpmeet in private life giving him
the strength, the happiness and. doubtless the
good counsel which could not but react upon
his administration of the government. But since
it does not appear that her political role if she
had any, definitely determined by lesisla-
tion it would be interesting to know how far
in actual practice she colored her husbands
policies. On this point Mr.. Staley has COM
paratvely little to say, though, perhaps, we
should praise MIN Tor not risking conjecture IN
a field that we gather, is not richly docu-
mented. From certain edicts to which he does
aude we may at least infer that the Council
was consistently jealous of petticoat influence
Lucky was the ducal family that came into
office without the registration of some new law
curtailing such perqusites as might have been
contemplated on the distaff side. By one Of
these "Promissione' not only the Dose and tho

their daughters in law were debarred from

Evidently, there was graft in ancient Venice
Evidently, also, the ladies of the ducal bouse
hold were not unaccustomed to intrigue with
place hunters, for. by the terms of the document
just cited, the Dogaressa was directed not to
promise situations offices to those who soupbt

THE DOG4RESS4
The Part She Bore an the Social Life
of Old Venice.

THE DOGARESSAS OF VENICE (The Wives Of
the Doges) BY Edgcumbe Staley- Illustrated.
Svo pp xxi, 333. Charles ScribnerS Sons
Mr. Staley is the first writer to tell in Eng
lish the story of the wives of the Doges OF
Venice that golden line of lovely ladies who
from the beginning of the ninth century to
the close of the eighteenth figured conspicu-
ously, if not with any specially constructive
influence in the life of the famous city. He IS
not a weighty historian. On the contrary, his
rather forid and sentimental pages do not rise
above the level of the ordinary compilation CT
historical gossip. Nevertheless there are facts
here, arranged chronologicaly with some care,
and, in his modest way, Mr.. Staey contrives
to convey an impression of Venetian society
Though few portraits of DOgaressas are in eX-
istence there are available pictures and prints
Of one sort or another, and these, which he
reproduces, give US fair idea of the carriage
and demeanor of the first lady in the state and
her sisters To browse through this volume is
to find ones self in very pretty company, to
realize how important feminine genius vas to
the development of Venetian pomp.

this that the Dogaressa was the nerest NIL

there were others who really sustained Their

be sure that some of them had the will and
the brains to dabble in politics despite the

meddling. But. taking them as body, one

THE MacKAy DAM.

Mr.. Hawley. democratic candid
ate for governor Of the state, pro-
fesses to think that the deplorable
conditions In connection with the
Mackay dam reflects upon the ad-
ministration OF Governor Brady. He
has said something like that In his
speeches, and evidently hopes to in
duce the people to vote against the
governor on this ground.
Mr.. Hawley picked up a live wire
when he took hold of that subject.
Who is responsible for the condi-
tions at the Mackay dam? No other
than the democrats Of the state of
Idaho democratic party.
Had a non-partisan Carey act com
mission been appointed, as urged by
Governor Brady at the beginning Of
his term. with authority to EMPLOY
high-oiass engineers. such commas
sion being charged with the duty
of personally overseeing the constru-
ticn work, the trouble at Mack1y
would have been prevented.
Governor Brady had just such Il
purpose IN his mind when he recopl-
mended that commission and urged
it upon the legislature. He knew
it was necessary in order that such
things should not occur.
The governor discharged his d
but The democratic state committe
fearing that the governor might get
some political advantage throug
a commission, induced the demo-
cratic members of the state senate
to vote against the bill and thus de-
feat the measure.
Let the democrats face their re-
sponsibility on this question. They
cannot escape from it. Their record
Is clear. 1t is they who are in the
mire on this subject, not Governor

and the entire state ticket and all
other phases Of the situation 50
bright. there can be but little doubt
OF the result.
We are no prohhet nor the SOL
Of a prophet but we confidently pre-
dict that Governor Brady will sue
coed himself and by the largest ma
jority a governor has eve received.
To begin the campaign, the dem
oeratic party had no issue. AS sub
stitutes they introduced charges
that had gone the rounds OF the
democratic press for months, and
since these have been so thorough
ly refuted, these charges have en-
tirely spent their force. The re-
cord of Governor Brady's admins
tration is an enviabIe one aud there
is a cause for his wonderful popu-
larity.-Glenns Ferry Gazette.

TWO YEARS MORE.

We are going to have two years
more of Governor Brady. And we
are going to have two years more
of good government. Fortunately
for this state, Governor Brady has
been re-nominated on the ticket
that is absolutely without an OBJ
jectionable feature. Consequently
his election is not, in any
impcriled as far as we a see.
There is no weakness in the ticket,
nor Is there any reason Of any char
acter why Governor Brady and all
those on the ticket with him should
not be elected by a handsome major
ity.
1t Is encouraging to us to be
able to feel that we are going to
have two years more of state ad-
ministration under the leadership of
Governor Brady. He has given us a
good administration heretofore and
we are satisfied he will give us an
even better n during the ensuing
two years.
Attention should be called to the
fact that, If the entire republican
ticket is elected. Governor Brady will
be backed up in every department
by men who stand for what is right.
men who will be fearless in the dis
charge of their duties. men who will
be scrupulously careful on protect
ing every interest of the people.
with such officers associated with
him, Governor Brady ought to be
able TO give us an administration
that Will stand forth as the best
that the state has ever known. We
believe he will do SO and. for that
reason we look forward with pleas
ure to two years more under his
executive leadership.-Coeur d'Alelre
Journal.

A complete report from the
northern part of the state describes
Governor Brady's speaking tour
through that section as one contin-

that he is receiving from the people
and the great enthusiasm that his
speeches are exciting indicate that
the people are with him and they
entirely endorse his administration.
No speaker has ever drawn larger
audiences than greet him at each

HAWLEY GIVES WRONG OPINION
Carey Act Bonds Good Investment
Says Capitalist.

Careful investigation reveals the
whatever for the charge made by
Mr.. Hawley, the democratic candid.
ate for governor, that the admins
tration of the state land board has
been such as to render it impos-
sible to now secure capital to carry
IN legitimate Carey act projects,
has brought to a standstill immi-
grafton to this state, and lessened
our reputation and standing in the
country at large, and that his reck-
less assertions are calculated to do
the state vast injury.
In an interview with Mr.. c.. A.
Stanton, a capitalist of Honolulu,
who is interested in Idaho irrigation
bonds to the extent of one hundred
thousand dollars, and expressed to
promoters of the Lost River project
a willingness to finance it, he says:
"Hawaiian capitalists are very
conservative investors and as a rule
they will not take hold of anything
speculative. They have recently be-
come interested in Idaho irrigation
bonds for the reason that they ap-
peal to them as perfectly sound
investments having the land. the
water rights and the efforts of the
settlers behind them.
1t is probable that a great deal
more Hawaiian capital will be in
vested in these lands, providing you
do not bring politics into your irri-
cation development, which now seem
to be the tendency, and thus by
Misrepresentation of the facts, drive
away capital that would otherwise
be invested in your state.

PUNCHB0WL,
new PARK SITE
Governor Asks the Federal
Authorities to Give It
Back Now.

Negotiations have been begun by
Governor Frear with the Federal
government for the purpose of ac-
curing Punchbowl as a location for
a public park.
Three reasons are given by Gov.
ernor Frear for the return of Punch.
bowl to the Territory in the com
munication he sent to Washington
on the subject. One reason is the
extension OF Prospect street and the
work in connection with granting
the Portuguese settlers the prefer
ence rights under the new land laws.
The Territory would also like to ac.
quire the crater as a possible site for
a reservoir for the city water works
or a city park making three good
reasons why It should be turned over
by the Federal authorities.
Speaking OF the present status of
the Punchbowl site, Governor Frear
says:
"a board was appointed to look
over the lands and report on how
much was needed and how much was
not. This board came out and In.
vestighted. and recommended that
the bowl be returned. with the ex.
ception of a small plot right at the
lip of the crater which runs down
from the top to within eighty feet
of the property line.
This takes in but little of the
crater. The eighty feet beyond the
property line was asked, as the own
ers desired to extend their property
for the purpose of placing water
tanks and other things there. No
executive order, however. has yet
been issued, and the bowl is still in
the hands of the government. see
no reason why II should not be re.
turned, as was the land where the
Kaimuki reservoirs are now stu
ated."
