SEVEN PROGRESSIVE-WOMEN
CateHaA naaal' VerattL
Tiif Tift Nomwatior
Ona of the moat pregreaalve women
that KaJy baa produced within race n I
eenturlee waa Catarlna Basel Vera tit
whe "became a prefeeeor la tha el dee
and most Interesting university ef Eu
rope, that of Bologna, when aba was
only 11 yeara of age.
This remarkable university la anewn
to have existed aa early aa tha eleventh
century, and there are document. If
their authenticity could be proven, that
would ahow It te be several centuries
at least, older. At one time Ita atu
dents ware said to number 10,009. This
Is probably an exaggeration, but there
are records to show that In mediaeval
times thr were thousaada of students
there.
Those not fully Informed ar apt to
think of university education for wo
men! aa something vary recent, and It
la a recent thing in the United Statea
But from tha earliest times woman wer
admitted to the University of Bologna
on equal terms with men. And there
have been not a few woman professors
there. Tha first on -record was Batista
Oosaadlnl, who waa born in 120. and
held degrees In both civil and canon
law.
For five eenturlee there wa a suc
cession of learned women In this uni
versity. One of tba moat Interesting
wae Cateiina BassL Her family wer
not rjeODla of education, but thev rer-
calved her gr4Jat gifts at an early age
and gave her -every advantage in the
way of tutors. When quite young aha
understood and appreciated the Latin
writers. She studied metaphysics and
delighted In philosophy; the observation
of natural phenomena, the studies of
the lawa of the universe and all that
pertain to natural and experimental
phyatca held for her an overwhelming
fascination.
0 brilliant a soholsr waa ahs that
her parents and Instructor wished the
publlo to know of It. To this she de
murred, preferring t pursue ber atudlea
"to find In them tba Incitement and the
guide te well-doing.- But at last abe
yielded te her friends' demand, and
April IT. ITU. she waa examined by five
proreasora of tba unlverelty ea tb
s&cst weighty questions ef philosophy
This examination waa held In publlo
aad attracted great audience. Induc
ing the most prominent personates ef
me cuy. - -
By uaanlmoua eoaaent she was Invited
te receive a degree of philosophy. Thla
waa conferred en May IT. with rnuoh
ceremony. The doctors of Iha eolleae
of philosophy awaited bar In a room of
the magistrate's palace left for the 00
cuioa. in young iatenna waa oe-
corapanled by aeveral women of the
laltan nobility who were dlstlnaulahed
for their learning. The entire city
joinea in congratulating her.
Then came the crowning honor. Balna
omy six months paat tha age of 10
she was appointed a professor of nhll-
osopny in mis oldest university In th
world, and for 41 yeara aha took rank
wun tne most learned scientists In Italy.
But with all these honora aha remained
modest and unassuming. 8h married
i)r. Qulseppl Varattl, a professor In
tha university, and bore him II children
She waa a devoted wife and mother and
conducted herself the education ef her
children. She was happier In the af
fection of har family that In ths aca
demic honora that came to her.
Up to tha day before her sudden death
she oontlnued ber work In science. When
the end cam tha cltlsana of Bologna
100K it as a personal loss and gave ber
a publlo funeral. She waa burled In
her dootor's robes, In tha cVuroh of
Corpus Domini, and tha ladlea of the
city raised a monument to her memory
mat stiii sianaa in on or tha hslls of
tha university.

Detroit Tree Prt: In renomlnallag
Taft and Sherman tbe Republlraa partr
haa put forward the atrengeat names It
could offer for the tlrbeL
The forecast still holds good thst wss
made whan the preliminary tampatsn
opened, that If Mr. Taft could not ba
elected this year no Republlraa could
be elected. Ha Is the tosirsl csndldste
undsr party precedents, which accord t"
a first term pre I dent a rsnomtnatlon If
ha desires it. Te have set him aside
would have alienated a very larg num
ber of Republican who would have
been shocked by such a departure from
tha tradition of their Uvea. These Re
publicans ara not tha boisterous shout-
ers who have bean murn in eviaenc
lately. They ara th quiet. Influential
business leader of their communities.
and they represent tha alient vote which

clsss ef man who sat In Ihe Coliseum
In Chicago, and tha superficial talk
about "steam roller' methods utterly
failed to gauge the earnest, InteUtgsnt
foroe which waa actually operating to
bring about th end that waa rssched.
Mr. Taft la entitled te a renomina-
tlon by mora than empty precedent. Ha
has been a good president: ha bids fair
In his second term to be a great presi
dent He has mads mistakes, out nis
mistakes have been th mlaukss of poli

Albany, Or., June 26. To the Editor
of Th Journal. I would like a little
space in your valuable paper to air
my view of capital punishment I no-'
tlca Governor West' article dated jfune
25, says In part: "The man who Is
sentenced to life Imprisonment with
nothing before hint but the certainty or
incarceration ao long as he shall live Is
not helped by hope because ha has noth
ing to hope for." A brutal desperate
man will take any chance offered to
escape, even to killing a guard. I cite
you to the case of "Cherokee Bill" at
Fort Smith, Arkansas. Such men should
be put to death promptly for the safety
of others as well a Just punishment
for the crime. ; Governor West calls cap
ital punishment legalized murder at the
state slaughter house. I differ Wldely
from him. Th man who commits mur
der is aware of th probable result of
hi act ana is omy mmseir to niame.
