were swept off their feet with surprise
when the senate and house committee
on constitutional amendments cut
short the arguments Of the euqal suf-

The occasion was a public hearing
on the amendment. The women, into
whose ears rumors had leaked that
opposition would develop against their
move, came prepared for battle. The
best speakers of their ranks, rein
forced by men Of note, stood by 10
advance arguments for equal suf-

Two "Jim Crow" Bills.

Jefferson City.-Loud applause came
from the members when two Jim
Crow" bills were introduced into the
house of representatives. The second

one introduced few minutes before.

blacks on trains and separate waiting
rooms in depots. The Jim Crow
bills probably will be a big issue in the
