 a copy of which is also in the hands of the W. c. 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 $200,00 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 $65,000 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 $40,000 per year, has come from the gifts of the people in this pro- hibition state of Kansas.
 Even if it cost us $200,OO0 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 fare of our state and nation.'

1.-THE LAST LAUGH"


 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. MT. White" it said, 'boasted about the big crops of Kansas, the per cap ita 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 Elm 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 MT. Whites clever : but misleading article they withdrew their subscriptions. This year the college must look to home for the an nual donation ot $200,OO0, which used to come out of the East"
 The National w. c. T. U. Bureau of Publicity forwarded the article to MT. White and in reply he says
 ''I have received, 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. It is pure fiction"
 MT. White sends also the following statement written for the public by the president of the college:
 ITO WHOM TT MAY CONCERN:
 ''I have learned that certain selfish interests arc 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. 1 wish to say there is absolutely no foundation for this sto>y.
