Description: Front cover article by Julia Ward Howe and Lyman Abbott titled "Woman and the Suffrage" printed in The Outlook, April 3, 1909. Page 3 of 4.
Full Text: ... National Woman Suffrage Alliance at Amsterdam last summer. In her report to that Congress she enumerated a long list of improved laws obtained in Colorado since women were granted the ballot, and added: "Delegates of the Interparliamentary Union who visited different parts of the United States for the purpose of studying American institutions declared concerning our group of laws relating to child life in its various aspects of education, home, and labor, that they are the sanest most humane, most progressive, most scientific laws relating to the child to be found on any statute-books in the world."
Wyoming, many years ago, passed a law that women teachers in the public schools should receive the same pay as men when the work done is the same. The news that Utah had granted full suffrage to women was quickly followed by the announcement of the passage of a bill providing that women teachers should have equal pay with men when they held certificates of the same grade. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction for Colorado says: "There is no difference made in teachers' salaries on account of sex.
Woman suffrage has also operated to take the schools out of politics. Mrs. Grenfell writes: “I have seen or heard of more party politics in school matters in one block in Albany, Buffalo, or Philadelphia than in the 103,928 square miles of Colorado soil."
Since women attained the ballot, all the four equal suffrage States have raised the age of protection for girls to eighteen. In Idaho and Wyoming the repeal of the laws that formerly licensed gambling is universally ascribed to the women. The Colorado statutes against cruelty to animals and against obscene literature are said to be models of their kind.
Within four years after equal suffrage was granted, the number of no-license towns in Colorado had more than quadrupled, and it has increased much more largely since. The organ of the brewers of Denver says that Colorado made a great mistake in giving the ballot to women. So far as I am aware it is the only paper in Colorado which takes that ground.
Under the title" Fruits of Equal Suffrage," the National American Woman Suffrage Association has published a partial list of the improved laws passed in the four enfranchised States with the aid of women's votes, giving chapter and verse for each. It fills nearly eight pages.
3. Women can bring their influence to bear on legislation more quickly and with less labor by the direct method than by the indirect. In Massachusetts the suffragists worked for fifty-five years before; they succeeded in getting a law making mothers equal guardians of their minor children with the fathers. After half a century of effort by indirect influence, only twelve out of our forty-six States have taken similar action. In Colorado, when the women were enfranchised, the very next Legislature passed such a bill.
4. Equal suffrage often leads to the defeat of bad candidates. This is conceded even by Mr. A. Lawrence Lewis, whose article in The Outlook against woman suffrage in Colorado has been reprinted by the anti-suffragists as a tract. He says:
"Since the extension of the franchise to women, political parties have learned the in-advisability of nominating for public offices drunkards, notorious libertines, gamblers, retail liquor dealers, and men who engage in similar discredited occupations, because the women almost always vote them down." During the fifteen years since equal suffrage was granted no saloon-keeper has been elected to the Board of Aldermen in Denver. Before that it was very common. I quote again from Governor Shafroth, of Colorado: "Women's presence in politics has introduced an independent element which compels better nominations.”
Ex-Chief Justice Fisher, of Wyoming, says: "If the Republicans nominate a bad man and the Democrats a good one, the Republican women do not hesitate a moment to 'scratch' the bad and substitute the good. It is just so with the Democrats. "
Ex-Governor Hunt, of Idaho: "The woman vote has compelled not only State conventions, but more particularly county conventions, of both parties to select the cleanest and best material for public office."
And quoting once more from Judge Lindsey, of Denver: "One of the greatest advantages from woman suffrage is the fear on the part of the machine politicians to nominate men of immoral character. While many bad men have been elected in spite of woman suffrage, they have not been elected because of woman suffrage. If the women alone had a vote, it would result in a class of men in public office whose character for morality, honesty, and courage 'Would be of a much higher order."
The recent re-election of Judge Lindsey by the mothers of Denver, against the opposition of both the political machines, is only a striking instance of what has happened in a multitude of less conspicuous cases in the various enfranchised States.
5. Equal suffrage broadens women's minds, and leads them to take a more intelligent interest in public affairs. President Slocum, of Colorado College, Enos A. Mills, the forestry expert, Mrs. Decker, and many others, bear witness to this. The Hon. W. E. Mullen, Attorney-General of Wyoming, who went there opposed to woman suffrage and has been converted, writes: "It stimulates interest and study, on the part of women, in public affairs. Questions of public interest are discussed in the home. As the mother, sister, or teacher of young boys, the influence of woman is very great. The more she knows about the obligations of citizenship, the more she is able to teach the boys." A leading bookseller of Denver says he sold more books on political economy in the first eight months after women were given the ballot than he had sold in fifteen years before.
6. It makes elections and political meetings more orderly. The Hon. John W. Kingman, of the Wyoming Supreme Court, says: "In caucus discussions the presence of a few ladies is worth a whole squad of police."
7. It makes it easier to secure liberal appropriations for educational and humanitarian purposes. In Colorado the schools are not scrimped for money, as they are in the older and richer States. So say Mrs. Grenfell, General Irving Hale, and others.
8. It opens to women important positions now closed to them because they are not electors. Throughout England, Scotland, Ireland, and a considerable part of Europe, a host of women are rendering admirable service to the community in offices from which women in America are still debarred.
9. It increases the number of women chosen to such offices as are already open to them. Thus, in Colorado women were eligible as county superintendents of schools before their enfranchisement; but when they obtained the ballot the number of women elected to those positions showed an immediate and large increase.
10. It raises the average of political honesty among the voters. Judge Lindsey says: "Ninety-nine per cent of our election frauds are committed by men."
11. It tends to modify a too exclusively commercial view of public affairs. G. W. Russell, Chairman of the Board of Governors of Canterbury College, New Zealand, writes: "Prior to women's franchise the distinctive feature of our politics was finance. Legislative proposals were regarded almost entirely from the point of view of (1) What would they cost? and (2) What would be their effect from a commercial standpoint? The woman's view is not pounds nor pence, but her home, her family. In order to win her vote, the politicians had to look at public matters from her point of view. Her ideal was not merely money, but happy homes and a fair chance in life for her husband, her intended husband, and her present or prospective family."
12. Last, but not least, it binds the family more closely together. I say this with emphasis, though it is in direct op-position to an argument much brought forward by the opponents of woman suffrage. Let us give ear to words that are written, like the last, from a region where equal suffrage has been tried and proved.
The Hon. Hugh Lusk, ex-member of the New Zealand Parliament, says: "We find that equal suffrage is the greatest family bond and tie, the greatest strengthener of family life. It seemed odd at first to find half the benches at a political meeting occupied by ladies; but when men have got accustomed to it they do

Biographical note: Julia Ward Howe (1819-1910) was an author, lecturer, poet, activist, abolitionist and leader in the Women's suffrage movement. Born in New York City to affluent parents, Ward Howe was well educated but expected to be a wife. In 1843 Ward Howe married Samuel Gridley Howe the founding director of Perkins after meeting him at a tour of the school. Despite conventional expectations that she not live a public life she initially published work anonymously before becoming a social activist that wrote, spoke, and worked for many social causes. She is commonly known for writing the words to “Battle Hymn of the Republic” and in 1908, she became the first woman elected to the American Academy of Arts. In 1988 she was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame.

Marshall Perkins recounts his experience on an old steam enroute to Key West to his brother-in-law, Daniel Read Hall. Perkins served as an assistant surgeon in the Fourteenth Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry. In this letter he describes “a negro” named Sandy who owned a portion of the Key West land and was said to be “the richest man on the island.” With great admiration Perkins talks about the man’s farm and the way Sandy personally helped save the island from being ransacked.
Perkins served just under three years and was mustered out on July 8, 1865. After his service, he went back to Marlow, New Hampshire. His letters are part of a collection that was donated to the Regional History Center by descendants of the Hall family.

Brother Daniel-
Since I saw you my experience has been somewhat varied. We Sailed from New York
March 19 in the Daniel Webster an old boat but considered Staunch though Slow on account of
her boilers being old and not Safe under a high pressure of steam The first two days out the
weather was pleasant, but on Tuesday we encountered the equinoctial Storm off Cape Hatterass,
and for about 36 hours we had it rough and tumble. Our wheel houses were both Stove up, the
compass up the Stern mashed overboard, the captains chronometer Smashed and finally a Steam
pipe gave out, the engine stopped, and we lay at the mercy of wind and waves. It seemed every
moment that we must go down I stood for hours hanging on to a stanchion every now and then a
wave swashing on to me. The horses some of them broke loose and were down upon their sides
Sliding from one side of the Ship to the other They were finally secured with ropes dragged back
to their places and lashed My horse Stood it the best of any of them he would keep the ballance
of the ship exactly He stood cross ways of the ship and when the vessel rolled up So as to almost
throw him on to his head he would Sit right down upon his haunches and then as it rolled back
he would Spring up and lean forward so that his hind legs would be almost out Straight He did
not get down nor in to any trouble at all The Sailors Say that he is an old Salt and the best sailor
on board. When he got on Shore at port Royal he laid down and Jim Says that he rolled over
just twenty times The Storm like all all other Storms finally came to an end and we found that
one boiler could be used but our reckoning was lost an the chronometer useless the Captain
could tell the latitude but the longitude he could not make out. We had one fair day and then
came another Storm almost as severe but not as long When this had passed the Ship was turned
towards land The Captain say in that we were in the lattitude of Port Royal but how far out to
Sea he did not know We reached Port Royal Sunday just a week from the time we left New York
We camped upon Hilton Head island within the fortifications The 3rd N.H.V. now mounted
infantry were encamped just outside the lines Here we Staid till Saturday, then Sailed for Key
West. Had very pleasant weather. The Second day from Port Royal one of our men died and
within half an hour was thrown overboard. Reached Key West At 5th took in coal Sailed the 8th
Key West is one of Several islands with a very good harbor and a place of considerable business
There can hardly Said to be any Soil It is a coral formation partially covered by the remains of
decayed vegetation But wherever a Seed can be covered up it is Sure to grow No frost was ever
known. Vegetation flourishes the year around In my wanderings I was fortunate enough to fall
in with the most noted character of the Island. Sandy, a negro. He has been free Seventeen
years He paid $3300 [thirty-three], for himself He is now Said to be the richest man on the
island. He owns nineteen acres of land and raises fruit and vegetables The only implement that
he uses on his land beside his hands is a piece of iron, (which I Should think was a piece of hoop
from a barrel) bent at the end. With his hands he pulls up the weeds and with his iron Stirs what
little dirt there is among the rocks for beside the foundation being solid rock the surface is
covered with fragments of the Same rock of all sizes. This rock is not heavy but light and
porous I went with Sandy over his grounds. In his vegetable garden a large portion of the crop
had just been taken off and the ground planted again Here were squash, cucumber and
watermelon vines past bearing but new ones coming on to take their places beans dry in their
pods cabbages with full heads and plants just Set out turnips beets onions [ect] full grown.
These things are grown during the cooler months of the year In his fruit garden were Cocoanuts,
Bananas, Paw Paws, Sabadillas, Jamaica apples, Sugar apples, Guavas, Limes, Tamarinds,
Lemons and Oranges grapes [ect]. I picked a ripe lemon I did not see a ripe orange Some were
beginning to turn and others Just out of blossom. He has a great many visitors and likes to show
them over his grounds but is not in the habit of pulling off his fruit to feed them all. The only
animals that he Keeps are Sheep and goats for their milk and flesh. The Sheep are not Sheared
in fact there is not any thing on them to Shear. Many of them are black, brown and speckled.
Fowls also of all kinds he keeps it really seemed like home to hear an old turkey gobble Sandy is
quite intelligent as well as wealthy and understands the condition of the country as well as most
people and much better than your copper heads at the north. He Saved the fort on the island for
Uncle Sam at the breaking out of the rebellion. He Said the ^he^ heard that there was to be a
meeting and he thought there might be mischief brewing. But no negro was allowed to be out
after dark, and the meeting was to be in the evening. So he goes in the day time and hides under
a Stairway and in this way learned the particulars how and the time when the fort was to be
taken by the Secesh (for all the whites of the island almost are secesh) The next day he revealed
to the captain in command of the part the whole plot and as it happened this officer was a true
man the fort was saved He takes much pride in this exploit and well he may. He Said that he
was known and well thought of in Washington. He described to me the manner of life of the
poor whites of the South and how they were deceived and led about by the few Slave holders.
And how the masters tried to deceive their slaves telling them that the yanks were going to Sell
them all off to Cuba that were worth any thing and the old men and women who were past labor
were to be killed But Says he the negroes knew better than this though they pretend to believe it.
The fort on the island is garrisoned by a Negro regiment the people remonstrated against it, But I
suppose Old Abe thought that if a Negro was the only man to save the fort, Negroes might just
as well look after it for the future But I must Stop
Yours

Title: Pyramidographia, or, A description of the pyramids in Egypt by Iohn Greaves…
Author: Greaves, John 1602-1652
Publisher: London: Printed for George Badger, and are to be sold at his shop in St.Dunstans Churchyard in Fleet-street
Year: 1646
Call number: DT 63 .G73 1646
Physical description: illustrated, folded leaves of pyramid drawings; 18 cm. Brown (most likely leather) cover with gold gilt spine, red title. Appears rebound. Some text crossed out on last page.
About this book: John Greaves (1602-1652) was an English mathematician, astronomer and antiquary. He traveled all around the world and made extensive notes and observations about the places that he visited. His travels included trips to Rome, Istanbul and Egypt. While in Alexandria, he collected Arabic, Persian and Greek manuscripts. He visited Cairo twice, making accurate surveys on the pyramids of Egypt that were more in-depth than anyone had made up into that point of history. Although he was eventually ejected from Merton College in Oxford for controversial behavior, he had enough money saved up when he retired to London and spent his leisure time writing and editing books and manuscripts (Wikipedia).
According to Echoes of Egypt at the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale University, John Greaves was a professor of astronomy at Oxford University. He utilized classical sources, as well as Arabic writings to conclude that the Great Pyramid was the tomb of the pharaoh Khufu.
According to Zur Shalev who wrote the “Measurer of all things: John Greaves,” Greaves “provided the first full scholarly treatment of the Giza complex, meticulously surveying both the works of previous authors, ancient and modern, Eastern and Western, and the monuments in situe. Using up-to-date antiquarian methods he had imported from Rome, Greaves identified the pyramids’ builders, established the chronology and history of their construction and use, and described their physical attributes.”

A girl with a broom by Rembrandt van Ryn, Dutch school, 1606-1669, canvas, height 42 1/4 in., width 36 in. Signed and dated 1651.
Andrew Mellon Collection
A soft shaft of light picks out a young girl pausing in her daily household and lost in thought. She leans gently on a fence and holds her well-used broom.
What could be more mundane or more trivial? And yet it is just such a simple scene that Rembrandt has infused with great depth of feeling.
I guess you could consider this to be the great, great grandfather of the iPad. Taken with an old Sony point and shoot.

History of the 'Success' from: blog.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/2021/03/31/life-onboar...
In 1852 the Success, a merchant ship, arrived in Melbourne. It was the height of Victorian gold rush, and she was abandoned by her crew. An opportunity was quickly seized, as ‘she was acquired by the British Government to serve as a convict hulk at Hobson’s Bay,’ with 72 cells built to accommodate prisoners.
Maurice Downey relates how:
The unfortunate convicts who were confined below in ‘durance vile’ numbered 120, not one of whom escaped, and no wonder, seeing that they were completely at the mercy of 27 inhuman warders, who made their lives a very hell within their ocean habitation. A mere inspection of these cells and the instruments of torture with which they were amply furnished, is sufficient to make one shudder.
The Success was not the only prison hulk at anchor in Hobson’s Bay; she was joined by the President, Lysander, Sacramento and Deborah, to cope with Australia’s overflowing prison population. The Success, however, was notable for the ‘brutalities’ enacted on board, with prisoners subject to punishment by the dreaded cat-of-nine tails, with some receiving ‘as many as 100 lashes…with this hellish device.’
Further means of punishment included:
Leg-irons, spiked iron collars, straight iron jackets, body irons, with hand-cuffs attached, were also used on some of the prisoners doing their sentences on board the Success. The spiked iron collar was a shocking means of punishment, and was so constructed that the wearer was obliged to remain always in a stooping attitude, which induced ill-health in many, and was the cause of death to not a few.
One observer recalled all the horrors of dungeons and prisons from across the world, ‘but not one of these is to be compared in refinement of cruelty and multiplication of horrors to the floating hells of Victoria.’
The Success’s career as a prison hulk came to an end with ‘the dreadful murder of Inspector-General Price by a large number of convicts.’ John Price was murdered by convicts from the Success in 1859, and the Weekly Irish Times notes how:
His murder was the direct means of leading to the abolishing of the hulk system in Australia, and more than one Australian paper stated openly that as he had sown the wind he had reaped the whirlwind.
Meanwhile, in 1868 the system of transportation to Australia finally ceased, but years of abominable cruelty, especially on the hulks, had left their mark on many.
But the Success was not to be left alone, even after she had been converted to a store hulk. In 1890 she was purchased by entrepreneurs with the intent of making her into a floating museum. They installed former Success prisoner Harry Power as a sort of showman for the former prison hulk, as reports The Sketch. The author of The Sketch article, however, is unsupportive of the Success being made into a tourist spectacle:
A curio – interesting indeed; but her weather-worn face and draggled appearance tell us too plainly that she belonged to another age than ours. She has lived her life, done the duty allotted to her; pity it is she cannot be left in peace.
And although she was scuttled in 1891 with the venture being unsuccessful, she was soon after refloated and sent to tour the world, arriving in England in 1894. She was still touring in 1912, when crowds gathered at Cobh, Ireland, ‘to give a parting cheer to the venturous old ship,’ as reports the Suffolk and Essex Free Press. The Success was setting off to cross the Atlantic, where she was exhibited at the Great Lakes and San Francisco, before being sunk in 1918 or 1919, and then again refloated. The Success appeared at the Chicago World Fair in 1933.
C. Fox Smith, writing for Britannia and Eve in 1936, was highly critical of this use of the Success, deeming her display to represent ‘a floating Chamber of Horrors.’ But for many the Success served as a reminder of a supposedly bygone age of cruelty, which saw the torture of prisoners and the creation of ‘heartrending tales’ from the tightly-packed cells.
Custom paint job for my Alphasmart Neo 1. I'm proud of how well it came out! It looks even better in person than my laptop webcam can depict. It's glossy, iridescent, and has a pleasing pitted texture that really is like hammered metal.
What should I call it? "Moon Rock Writer?" My "Neo Pebble?"
I used the excellent, amazing "Neo Color Mod" guide at sites.google.com/site/dutchg/ to figure out how to take it apart properly.
After disassembling, I painted the case with a specialty spray paint (Rust-oleum Universal Forged Hammered Spray Paint - Pewter color). The paint's a PITA, but the end result was very good. The secret with this paint is to spray it on THICK for a good "hammered" effect. Not quite so much that it's flowing and dripping off, but very, very close!!! You want one very heavy coat, not multiple light ones.
I panicked a little bit when a couple keys and their "ladder assemblies" came off when I was putting the Neo back together. Fortunately, the Neo manual is available online and describes how to fix this!
Thanks for taking a look!

c1910 postcard view of businesses in Atlanta, Indiana. This postcard was untitled, but is believed to be a scene in Atlanta, Indiana. The store at the left has HARDWARE painted on the window. Signs fastened to the trees advertised GENUINE OLIVER PLOWS, OLIVER CULTIVATORS, McCORMICK HARVESTING MACHINES (and International Harvester logo), and GLOBE STOVES AND RANGES. Implements of various types were on display in front of the store along with feeding and watering equipment. A young boy on a bicycle and a man were also posing in front of the store.
A metal box was sitting on the implement in the center of this view. The lettering on the side of the box appears to have ATLANTA at the top and ATLANTA, IND. at the bottom. The first word in the second line appears to be BROOD. Below that, the lettering appears to read ATLANTA TIN PLATE ___.
There were two shops in the building next door. The sign for the first shop isn’t readable and the second shop didn’t have a sign. A sign next to the door advertised COCA COLA 5c and some of the boxes stacked in front of the building were from COCA COLA. A small display case was mounted on the front of the store. The writing on the glass read, TRY ____ ______ CHOCOLATE AND CARMEL SUNDEES. The sign standing on the sidewalk advertised WE USE SHEARER’S ICE CREAM IN OUR ICE COLD SODA [MADE IN?] LOGANSPORT, IND. The top three stacked crates at the right edge of the scene were numbered and had BREAD printed on the end of each. The other lettering on those crates is unreadable.

go watch bright eyes' video for "easy/lucky/free"and you'll understand why i did this. if you don't want to watch it, then these are the lyrics to that song- written backwards with the image flipped. i wrote it as it was playing. so like, i wrote it pretty quickly. it's hard.
