Tiie Queen of Carthage Once
More Essays the Task of Do
llly; up Senipliroiticus.
Beg pardon Sernphronicus, my
nose is purely Grecian and unless
you ure cross-eyed I cannot under
stand how you can say it is turned
up.
And you doubt my fondness for
Tennyson and Mrs. Wilson. When
some younger 1 simply revelled in
their writings. Is'ut that love
scene sweet? Do you remember
"Edna my darling my darling,
the tremulous voice the tender
pleading cry rang startling through
the silent church" &c. I learned
pages hy heart. Did you know that
Olga Neville was a real character,
a friend whom Mrs. Wilson kept
in ber home that she might study
her?
About Tennyson-Don't you
think that fellow in Locksley Hall
somewhat egoti<tical? If he had
arrived at marriageble age and
like you believed a womans life to
i-e circumscribed by the front
palings, should he not have pre
pared a lilting home for his Amy?
If he was too worthless then he
should not rail so, if some one
else did and secured her. ll is
all sweet, pretty sentiment but as
suitable to practical life as would
be a diet of sillabub and spoilg*
cake to a laboring man. You are
certainly stupid if yon fail lo dis
cern my meaning. I am fond of
K-ponge cake, but I would be stu
pid to make it my diet when I
needed something more substan
tial. I like sentiment certainly but
I would be au idiot to be controll
ed by it if the welfare of those I
love demanded otherwise.
I am honest in my question as
to where womans sphere begius
and ends. A few years ago the
roads were almost impassable near
here; men beat their teams, and
broke their vehicles for days,
weeks, and months until a woman
took h >r husbands hands, (mostly
negro men) and with a wagon
hauled rock and helped to put that
road in good condition. Was she
out of her sphere? At a picnic last
Saturday at four o'clock the wo
men suggested going home, the
men protested ; "oh, says the wo
men, we have the ration to give
out to the negroes. I found many
of them cooksd and washed dishes
for negro nen who are necessarily
in the kitchen a good deal. Is
that a womans spher?-. If she is
so easily contaminated as you op
ponents of suffrage pretend to
fear, why is she not better pro
tected? I had rather vote once ev
ery two years, and run all risks
than to cook in one year for a ne
gro 1095 meals and wash that
many cups, plates, knives, and
forks.
Will you k-ndly explain tome
how it is that, those who drink
much of the liquor are without
family connection. That is the
most absurd assertion and poorest
argument which could emanate
from a christian country. Did
they spring up spontaneously or
are they spawn of the stuff they
imbibe. "Clerks, railroad raen,
tramps, adventurers, rich old bach
elors, widowers, outcasts from so
ciety, aud numberless others" are
not without mothers and although
men without families, have hu
man souls, and the God who
watches the fall of the sparrow
will hold man responsible for his
brothers fall if he is instrument
al in bringing it about, and he is
responsible when he licenses the
sale of the soul destroying stuff, j
And so you ^are a doubting:
Thomas. There is municipal suf
fragan many states and it works
well. Wyoming has had suffrage I
for the past quarter ot a century
and it has wrought no harm and
has done great good in many ways.
From a vote of resolutions prepar
ed by the legislature of 1898. I
copy this: "Suffrage by our wo
men has largely aided in banish
ing crime, pauperism and vice
from this state, and that without
any violent or oppressive legisla
tion, that it has secured peaceful
and orderly elections, good gov
ernment, and a remarkable degree
of civilization and public order,
and we point with pride to the
facts that after nearly twenty-five
years of woman suffrage not one
county in Wyoming has a poor
house, that our jails are almost
empty, and crime, except that
committed by strangers in the
state, almost unknown, and as the
result of experience we urge every
civiliz?d community to organize
its women without delay."
Every Governor of Wyoming for
more than twenty years has testi
fied to the good of woman suf
frage. As these Governors are ap
pointed by the president not elec
ted by the people, they are not

dependant on the womans vote and
their testimony is impartial. Gov.
Campbell was in office when the
law was passed and in his mes
sage to the legislature two years
later says: "It is simple justice
to tho women to say that in those
new and untried duties they have
conducted themselves with as
much tact, sound judgment and
good sense in every respect as
men."
Gov. Thayer six years later says :
"In my judgment its results have
been beneficial, and its influence
favorable to the best interests of
the community." Gov. Hoyt who
succeeded Thayer says, "Under it
we have better laws, better offi
cers, better institutions, better
morals, and a higher social condi
tion in general. Not one of the
predicted evils, such as loss of na
tive delicacy and disturbance of j
home relation, has followed in its
train." Gov. Hale expressed him
self repeatedly to the same effect.
Gov. Warren who comes next and
who was in office when the territo
ry became a state said: "Our wo
men consider much more careful
ly than our men the character of
candidates and both political par
ties have found themselves oblig
ed to nominate their best men in
order to obtain the support of the
women."
Hon. J. W. Kingman, for four
years a judge of the U. S. Supreme
Court in Wyoming, says: "The
women manifest a great deal of j
independence in their preference
for candidates, and have frequent
ly defeated bad nominations. Of
ten the men set aside certain ap
plicants for office because their
character would not stand the crit
icism of the woman."
The Editor of the New York Ob
server opposed woman suffrage.
He wanted som'; strong testimony
against it and wrote toan acquain
tance of his, the wife of a U. S.
Judge and a leading member of
the Presbyterian church, asking
her to write an account of the
practical workings of woman suf
frage for bis naper. She replies:
"I carne to Wyoming three yean
ago from Missouri and brought
with me fully the usual amount
of conservatism ; and I regarded
with peculiar suspicion the idea
of a woman entering the political
arena. My observation has ma
terially modified ra}' views on this
subject. The women are less gov
erned by party considerations than
men, and both political parties
have come to recognize the neces
sity of nominating their best men,
or at least not nominating bad
men if they desire to succeed.
The only element, that would de
sire its repeal is the vicious and
corrupt." *
Testimonies could easily be
multiplied but surely these are
enough to convince you that wo
man suffrago has been tried and
not found wanting. According to
your argument no right is in
herent, not even the right to life,
liberty or property ; the murder
er is deprived of his life, thieves
and the insaue of their liberty,
and the minor is not allowed >o
control his possessions. I consid
er your argument poor aud regret
that. I do not agroe with you.
With this I expect to end the
subject, asking pardon of your in
dulgent readers if I have bored
them. Semphrouicus fires a bomb
and then apologetically informs the
reader that he aims al self de
fense only when he finds it re
bounds. I feel that I am due him
thauks for the courtesy (compar
ed with li is treatment of men) I
receive at his hands. I am sure he
can trace his ancestry back to
Don Quixote.
Some men were born with a talent,
Some with scrip and land;
Some with a spoon of silver,
And some with a different brand
But Semphronicus came holding an
argument in each hand.
Arguments sprouted within him,
And twinkled in his little eye;
He lay and calmly debated
When average babies cry,
And gravely did he ponder whether
best to live or die.
But prejudiced on that question
Ile grew from day to day,
And finally he concluded
'Twas better for him to stay;
And so into lifes discussion he reason
ed and reasoned his way.
Wiieti he leaves t his earthly sphere
Pardon me if I suggest
That au angel may take .Semphronicus
And give him a good night's rest,
And then introduce bim to Solomon,
and teil him to do his level best.

MR. EDITOR : I am no enthusiast
thinking that the principle I
would have substituted for the
present one in the rule for compu
ting interest on partial payment
notes would turn the world up
side down, but I do claim that my
method merits more than a pass
ing notice, aa it guarantees abso
lutely simple interest, a result of
ten sought by officials through
the Vermont method in vain. If
for no other purpose than this its |
merit is established and hence
should be recognized.
I claim for it, however, to be u
means by which the rate of inter
est can be made less burdensome
to the debtor. I know that every
man wants every cent he can le

gitimatnly get from ever3r other
man. I deem it futile to argue
with the money lender that he
should not take all the interest
that the law permits, because the
law's limit is his standard of right.
I admit that lending at 8 per cent
is a fine business for the lender
aud that all who have money to
loan will contend that that rate is
not high so long as the law says
so. They thought 10 per per cent
the proper thing before the rate
was reduced to 8 per cent. They
contended earnestly and long that
the state had not even a moral
right to reduce it, but patriotism
prevailed. So will they contend
against my method guaranteeing
simple interest only becouse they
love the present compounding
method. Yet I know most alt men
in their best moods will and must
admit it to be a duty to restrain
one another in our inordinate de
sire for money, and on this faith
I ask all to lend an attentive ear.
lu essaying to proclaim a new
principle I expect tho sneers from
many at my paradoxal method
really paying both principal and
simple interest on a note by pay
ments just equalling what is now
considered yearly interest. Yes,
were I a money lender and the law
should say simple and not com
pound interest as at present, I
would he satisfied to loan a
friend one thousand dollars at 8
per cent aud then give him hie
note in full settlement at the end
of 22? years provided he had paid
me eighty dollars at end of each
year from date of note. Thus
$1800cancels the note, which is
surely a sufficient return for keep
ing and using money not needed
for my own use. While this is all
the borrower need pay -to cancel
his debi, let's see what the lender
may get for these payments. Let
the $80 payments made at end of
each year be loaned at 8 per cent
to other parties to be made paya
ble principal and interest nt the
time my friend takes up his
$1000 note, no payments to bo
made on these till final settlement.
Then I will have from the other
parties with the last payment of
$-10 on first note the sum of about
$3360 which is more than 3^
times as much as I first loaned to
my friend 224 years before. Then
if the return from my friend ia not
enough surely the result from oth
er parties should satisfy. It may
be observed to obtain 3^ times the
first loan at 8 per cent within 224
years there must be compounding
of the interest. Not so to the bor
rower. It is only the result by
Bimple interest on the 22 reioans
&c. The first payment runs 214
years and amounts to $217.60, the
secoud 204 years amounts to
$211.20, and so until the 22ud
which in six months amounts
$83.20. But your interest on these
payments is compounding. No,
only simpio interest io the bor
rower. Herein is some merit, the
borrower enjoying simple interest
and tho lender compound at the
same time, which is paradoxical
to the justifiers of the present
law.
You will observe ray friend pays
his note with one thousand less
than would be required by the
present partial payment rule, and
yet my money may increase over
three fold in 22A years. But my
rule applies to all payments alike
whether the payment is less, just
equal to or greater than would be
the present auuual interest, guar
anteeing absolutely simple inter
est and operating so as to extin
guish the debt.
Now Mr. Editor, if ? do not give
a demonstration of the method it
self, I hope I have given a satis
factory elucidation of how my
method operates to the advantage
of the debtor or borrower and not
seriously to the hurt of lendei ;
and if you give space in your
columns to this at present I pro
pose to show how this rule of mine
can be utilized in sethng proper
ly and profitably the public in
debtedness of our country.
