"THE LAST LAUGH"

TIE LAST LAUSH.
An article under the above caption
has been going the rounds of the
press. It assails William Allen
Whites story, Whats the Matter
With Kansas?" published some time
since in the Saturday Evening Post.
Mr.. White" 1t 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 well
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
nual donation Of 100000, which used
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:
Il have received, l should say, a
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:
Il have learned that certain selfish
interests are circulating a story that
the College of Emporia has lost dona-
tions 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. l wish to say there is
absolutely no foundation for this
story.
Very truly yours,
HENRY COE CULBERTSON,
President College of Emporia."
In a personal letter to Mr.. White,
a copy of which is also in the hands
OF the W. G. T. U. Publicity bureau,
Mr.. Culbertson deals with the college
financial affairs in detail We quote:
THE article to which you call my
attention is utterly absurd. Neither
the College of Emporia nor Washburn
college ever received an annual do
nation of 100000 from the East. So
far as l can ascertain, during the en-
tire thirty-two years existence of the
College of Emporia, this institution
has not received as much as $4,000
in all, for all purposes, buildings, en-
dowment and current expenses, from
persons living outside the state. This
is an average of about two thousand
dollars per year. Almost all Of our
endowment, and the money to erect
our buildings, as well as the money
to meet our current expense budget
of $4,000 per year, has come from
the gifts of the people in this pro-
hibition state of Kansas.
Even If it cost us 100000 or any
other amount in possible gifts, our
faculty, officers and trustees would
still indorse most emphatically the
prohibition policy, which we believe
involves the moral and social wei.
