with the sReview's stand on such

bill providing. for four amendments
to the Constitution to be voted
upon at the next general election and
the Senate has passed the bill. The

three of these amendments should

The white way is receiving the
finishing touches.
THE LAST LAUGH.

William Allen Whites story "What's
the Matter with KansaS?' in the Satur-
day Evening Post, has been, by this time,
pretty thoroughly discredited. Many OF
the statements made by the gifted writer
have been found to be inaccurate and
the major part of his arguments have
been punctured until they are seiVe-iike.
Evidently the author is proud of Kan
sas, or wants people, especially Kansas
people, to believe he is. Judging from
his statements Kansas had drawn into its
confines the double-distilled extract of
everything that was good; thru out every
atom of badness and then built high
fence around a regular little Heaven on.
earth.
He boosted about the big crops of
Kansas. the per capita wealth Of Kansas,
the number ofautomobiles in Kansas and
almost succeeded in making everyone
believe that Kansas was wholly rich as
we'll as richly holy. But he overdid it.
And his home town, Emporia, is the.
goat
For years the College of Emporia has
been largely supported by means OF
donations from wealthy fasteners, who
imagined they were assisting "a poor
little college on the wind-swept prairles.
When these rich patrons read MIR.
Whites clever, but misleading article
they withdrew their subscriptions. This
year the College of Emporia must 'look
to home'' for the annual donation of
$500, 900 which used to come out of the
East. Washburn College, originally a
Congregational school. has been, from
the beginning supported by the gener-
osity of wealthy members of that sect
living in New England. She too has
been told that she must look elsewhere
for her 100000 annual donation and
that rich state like Kansas ought not to
go begging for support for her institu-
tons.
So 'Bill'' White is not as popular in
Emporia as he was the week after
''What's the Matter with Kansrs?'' was
published.
