(From Wichita Eaele)

In a copyrighted article entitled
flying a Can to Kansas" the New
York American "a Hearst paper)
Of January 80, takes few filings at
the Sunflower State. The article
Homer c. Allison, York, Pa, former
ly resident Of Oklahoma and fire.
quent visitor in other days to Wichita
was mailed to The Eagle with the
suggestion thot this newspaper land
haymaker upon the Americans jaw
bone. The "Tying Can to Kansas"
is passed on to readers who are in
vited to mete out dire punishment to
Mr.. Hearst. Here it is:
Some philanthropist who has a
couple Of million dollars in the bank
and the interests of the human race
in his heart ought to donate that
amount Of money to having the state
of Kansas diagnosed.
There's something internally wrong
with Kansas, and the sooner a bunch
of specialists get together and give
her complete physical and mental
examination the sooner the rest of
the country will be able to draw a
free breath.
Kansas is Away starting some
thing. Way back before the civil war
she was the scene of the fireworks
in the slavery show. So much hap
pened there in such a short time that
they gave her the name of Bloody
Kansas.
A little later on in history Kansas
began to brew cylones. The fashion
able part of every Kansas mansion
became the cellar, just as the cellar
has recently become the fashionable
part of every true home (only for
different reason.)
Not content with that. Kansas hot
footed it into prohibition and set a.
horrible example which has since been
followed by other states which ought
to have better sense.
Next Kansas began to agitate
against the cigarette, and we've had
just enough experience with the state
to believe that she may get away with
it.
And now, for the last straw, bill
has ben introduced into the state
legislature which would put all wives
in the employ of their husbands. They
think they've discovered the solution
but if they're going to solve it as
of the domestic problem out there,
they've solved all the rest of the
problems of the human race, it's time
to look out.
The Kansas idea seems to be that
if you put wives on working basis
they won't have any kick coming and
what's more they can demand their
rights, just like a plumber or brick
layer.
It means clock-punching wives and
husbands, and it means
strikes, lockouts, time and half for
overtime and worst Of all the walk
ing delegate!
Imagine having some horn-rimmed
husky dame Of forty summers walk
ing into your home at any hour of the
day or night and presenting her card:
TILLIE ToMPKINS
Walking Delegate
Housewives Local No. 5
Husband Inspector. Dist. No. 4
Would you be willing to let this
lady inspect your premises, cellar and
all, especially when she has W. c. T.
U. written all over her? Think of let
ting her question you to see whether
you are giving your wife the proper
conditions-such as we'll
ventilated kitchen, safety appliances
on the shower bath, and the home
brew still, etc.
The more you think Of it the more
you realize that Kansas is sick
woman. Let the specialists get to-
gether and find out what she needs.
If it's a month Of Palm Beach, we're
Wiling to help foot the bill, or if she's |,
simply suffering from an overdose of !
.eform, we'll do anything in reason.
