Legislatures Disregard of Women.

How is it possible for men to
review the workings of the au-
gust Legislature, and still be un-
sophisticated enough to say
that women are represented
in their political opinions by
men," To say in the face of
such lawmaking that women
have political representation by
men elected to make the laws is
to argue an ignorance either of
what laws women want, or of
what laws are being enacted now
at Baton Rouge.
AS one having been on the
firing line for certain just meas
ures that the women of our
State almost unanimously stand
in favor of and agree to, can
truthfully say that women are
not represented, but are grossly
misrepresented, one gentleman
avowing that if women were al
lowed even so small a thing as to
help choose school directors
their votes cast would lower the
electorate. Think Of the intelli-
gent mothers, together with the
900 educated teachers of our
State, lowering the standard of
the electorate by expressing
their opinions!
Who, after seeing the misceg-
enation bill killed can now say
that women are represented,
that their views are respected
and that Woman's word is law
| ask what white woman would
not have considered herself de-
graded to have cast a vote in IA
vor of such an unnatural crime
when even decent black women
deplore such horror! Show
me a white woman who will vote
for the bill that has just passed
I in the assembly of men, and /
will show you a yeritable degen
erate,>a blot upon civilization;
but [ doubt il she could be found.
Now when all women concur in
an opinion as in the above in
stance, and the men represen-
ting the men of the State concur
in an opposite opinion to them,
and so vote, is it consistent to
say that the opinions of women
are represented and that our
word is law?
Is it possible where men wink
and uphold a law of this kind
that they consider themselves
protecting women and children!
Still less do they express wo-
mans voice on such a question
as this, when her very blood
boils in rebellion at the thought!
Would to God the men of this
State would make good their
boasted protection and care by
voting on a few like bills in
Louisiana, ON all of which ,w0-
men stand together. The an
ii ,miscegenation bill, the child
labor bill, the age of consent, and
a school opinion are matters that
affect the home most vitality.
The Legislatures action on
these plainly indicate its pro
tective attitude towards women
children and the home. CORES

An extra session seems so def

The extra session will be called
in December or January for
thirty days and will consider the
tax laws and devise more reve.

Marston's anti-cOtton future
bill has been killed in the Senate
by vote of indefinite postpone,

The appropriation bill has
passed the Senate with $74,800
added in amendments. There is
already q deficit of $447,821.19.
The Potts anti.future bill is
meeting with some success in
the House.
The Morgan bill giving women
the right to vote for local school
officers has been killed. The
House but for chivalrous motives
would have been unanimously
against it.
The Oglesby bill prohibiting q
person in a dry territory from
receiving, or keeping on hand,
more than one gallon of whisky
at a time passed the Senate and
is one step forward for prohibi-
ton.
A bill has been prepared by
Eugene Mckinney to prevent in.
surance companies discriminate
ing against Louisiana agents as
is now done. They get Is per

states 81 per cent is allowed.
The Kaliski child labor bill is
having a strenuous time in the
Senate.
The doctors in the Senate all
vote against legislation favorable
to the osteopaths.
There is not much hope of kill
ing the Gilmore $4,000 fee in
the Senate. Although public
sentiment is not favorable to it.
The House passed with great
favor the anti-tipping bill. Every
one ever held up by hotel SER
wants, took a particular pleasure
in voting for the bill.

FigS-and Rain.

Fig season will be here in a
few days. And if at any time
hot clear days are most desirable
it is when the luscious fig hangs
from the bough. Rain means
ruin to it.
Ga And yet we believe if it rained
all spring-as it did this year,
there would still be plenty of
rain to fall at fig time-as it
threatens to do now.

Getting Interesting.

The sudden entry of Hon.
Robt. c. Wickliffe into the Con-
gressiOnal contest has had the
effect of agitaing the other as
pirants for the honor to some ex-
tent. Heretofore they have sat
asfied themselves by indulging
in quiet gum-shoe campaign,
but now they realize, from the
manner in which the new Rich
m0nd has started his campaign,
that they must pull off their
coats and get to work in earnest.
In entering the contest Bob"
Wickliffe has expressed the
opinion that Baton Rouge has
no patent right on the position
simply because she has enjoyed
the privilege of holding it for
twenty six years. He is of the
opinion that some other parish is
now justly entitled to the right
to aspire to it, and, so believing
he has decided to enter the
race and take chances with the
others. There is no man in the
district better qualified for the
position than Mr., Wickliffe. He
is popular, strong and able, and
he will pretty soon make the 9th
err fellows stand up and recog-
nize the fact that he is in the
race. White Castilian.
