An eastern paper teIegraphed the
Governors of the several states, among
them Governor Stubbs, asking him
what the people of Kansas bad to be
thankful for this year. The Governor
studied for half minute and dictated
the following reply.
kansas will have a 24-hour state
wide day of Thanksgiving for extra
ordinary progress in civic advancement;
an unprecedented diminution in law:
complete triumph of the laws over the
saloon in every county, town and VII
liage in the state; an unexpected in
crease in attendance at every educa-
tional institution within her boarders;
advancement to first place among tho
states of the Union in material wealth
per capita; marvellous increase in the
volumes of business; the cheerful and
and ready acceptance of sanitary regu-
latioDs that have reduced the death
rate to the minimum of America; for
development in industrial activities
beyond the capacity of our present
population to handle; for the practical
ly complete evacuation of fifty per
cent Of our jails and more than sixty
per cent of our poor houses; for an in
crease of more than twenty-millioD
dollars in our state banks alone and
for an increase Of more than fifteen
million--dollars in the value of three
farm products-wheat, corn and oats. "
