The Seas.-Mrs. Carrier Writes Of Florence
Dear Editor of the STAR
We arrived in Florence. Saturday, In
time for dinner. The next day was
election day. Election day always
comes on Sunday in Italy. Galleries
were closed 80 We betook ourselves to
churches. Perhaps not for sacred
service, but with respectful and wor.
shipful minds. We visited the Duomo,
or Cathedral, whose greatest treasure
is its bronze domes. At last we are
studying some thing new. The model.
ing of them was entrusted to Passaglia
In 1888, finished in 1897 and unveiled
In 1903. The subject is "Msry Glorifled
BY God". Exquisite figures In bas
relief typify the Immaculate Concep.
tion" and the "Crowning Of the vir-
GIN. The latter pictures the Father
All Mighty wearing the cap of the
Pope IN the act Of placing the crown
on Mary's head.
In the Baptistry across the way we
respectfully looked on while two dear
little babes were ohristened. This
building also has bronz doors Of ex-
ceeding beauty, made in 1425-52. Such
is their artistic finish, that Michael
Angelo said Of them, they are gates
worthy of Paradise.
The church of st. Lorenzo contains
the celebrated figures of Day and Night
done by Michael Angelo. These are in
the chapel, designed by Pope Leo X,
himself de Medici, a. the resting
place tor the mortal remains of that
powerful family. Gazing at these per-
fectly wrought figures, the words of
Michael Angelo concering them comes
easily to mind
"Oh! Glad am I to sleep in stone,
while woe and dire disgrace rage unre.

locating in this country he was possess
cd of considerable money and together
with Judge Emmet b. Cook, of this
city, developed the Odell stone quarries,
from which number Of the buildings
in lower town are built. He also
financed numerous other business
ventures but the failing health of his
wife caused him to. withdraw from
them and few years ago they moved
to the state Of Washington. 1t was
while located in the above named state
that his wife died and since that time
his own health has been falling. He
returned here recently broken both in
mind and body.
Funeral services were conducted
Monday from the Joyce Undertaking
Psrlors and the remains laid to rest in
the Evergreen cemetery. His only
relatives are two brothers, one living
at Oakland California, and the other
at Chaska, Minnesta. The last named

capitalists in the state Of Minnesota
and was here at the time of the funeral.

Present County Attorney
CANDIDATE FOR REELECTION
E. J. WESTLAKE,
CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR
THIRTY First District

CANDIDATE FOR REELECTION
James Robertson, present County
Attorney, has been twice elected to
his position, and is a candidate for
reelection. Despite some criticism
he is doing his duty and is giving his
time to his office-assisted by an eff
ficient force.
The County Attorney does not
make the law. If he observes his oath
of office he must enforce all the laws,
he can have but one policy: the en-
forcement of the law as it stands on
the statute books of the state.
If the laws are unsatisfactory no
officer can use his Judgment and say
that they shall not be enforced. The
remedy lies with the legislature not
with the man who swears to enforce
the law
Laws should be made so as to inter
fere as little as possible with the
pleasure of the adult citizens and at
the same time protect the youth of
both sexes against temptations where
their inexperience is liable to cause
them to commit acts of indiscretion.
The young should be protected and If
necessary the adult should conform
to such regulations, not perhaps nee
essary for their protection, but abso-
lutely essential to the protection Of
the inexperienced.

duct of the work of the legal depart

at the Bar, his splendid legal attain
