SOUTHERN LEGISLATOR
COMPARES WOMEN
TO SETTER PUPS

A remarkable illustration OF
prejudice and disconrtesy was ex
hibited at the Hearing on the suf
frage bill in the Louisiana legis
lature The chairman of the
committee was st0ne-deaf, and ac-
knowledged his physical infirmity
at the close of the Hearing by the
astonishing statement, 81 have
not heard word you women have
said, but Pm opposed to your re
marks!" Then he proceeded to de.
liver TRADE against woman suf
frage, and compared the women
to lot OF ''setter pups. The
ladies present at the Hearing
were among the best known and
representative women of Louisi-
ana. In answer to the legislator
the following official protest was
promptly issued:
"The Louisiana State Woman
Suffrage Association protests
gainst the remark made by Hon.
Gilbert Dupre, of st. Landry Par
ish, before the House committee,

Powell bell for u constitutional
amendment granting the franchise
to the women of Louisiana.
At the hearing Mr. Dupre com.
pared women to slot of setter
pups who run here aud there
without knowing what they were
doing" Though this may be the
opinion Mr.. Dnpre has formed of
the women of his district, the
Louisiana State Woman Suffrage
Association protests that the
term setter pups, as applied to
the women of any portion of the
state, is insulting to all the won

That the "setter pups estimate
of woman was not shared by the
entire legislature was indicated
when by vote of 70 to 9 the bill
was advanced to third reading.

masters exactly as if they were boy
members of troop.
This will insure adequate instruc-
ton for all troops, and is considered
a necessary precautionary measure as
so many OF the troops consist of raw
recruits and even the scoutmasters
have had little or no training neces-
sary to conduct such camp satisfac-
torily. .@,. j.
Commissioner Hayward was unable
to be present at last nights meeting
owing to sickness, but he sent word
that as the local council owned only
enough tents to take care of one troop
he favored the plan that was adopted.
April z. s, and 9 are the dates set
for the scoutmasters' camp. At the
meeting of the scout scribes of all the
troops every detail of the new loose
leaf record and account book issued
by the national headquarters was ex-
planned, SO that each troop will keep
all its records in systematic, uni
form manner.
The order in which the several
troops will attend this camp will be
decided weekly by the drawing of lots
by the scoutmasters concerned.
