1.-THE LAST LAUGH"
An article under the above caption
has been going the rounds Of the
press. 1t assails William Allen
Whites story, What's the Matter
With Kansas" published some time
since in the. Saturday Evening Post.
Mr.. White" it said, boosted about
the big crops of Kansas, the per cap
tia wealth of Kansas, the number of
automobiles 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 EN-
poria has been largely supported by
means of donations from wealthy
Fasteners, who imagined they were
assisting a poor little college on the
wind-swept prairies.' When these
rich patrons read Mr.. Whites clever
but misleading article they withdrew
their subscriptions. This year the
college must look to home for the an
lludl uOndtlOu VI PNVO,OVV, "HiSH uo'u
to come out of the East"
The National w. G. T. U. Bureau of
Publicity forwarded the article to Mr..
White and in reply he says:
81. have received, j should say,
dozen or fifteen clippings from all
over the United States exactly like
the one you sent. The clippings was
sent out by the liquor interests
through the National Clipping bureau,
and there is no truth whatever in the
statement. 1t is pure fiction"
Mr. White sends also the following
statement written for the public by
the president of the college:
ITO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN:
3 81 have learned that certain selfish
interests are circulating a story that
the College of Emporia has lost dona-
tons and subscriptions in the East,
due to an article in The Saturday
Evening Post on the prohibition situa-
ton in Kansas, written by William
Allen White. / wish to say there is
absolutely no foundation for this
story.
