Press.)—William (Bill) Allen White,
noted Kansas author and newspaper
sage, is celebrating and is telling the
home folk alx^it it.
Thirty years ago this month,
“Bill" then 27. took time and credit
by the sernff of the neck, walked
into the one-room office of Emporia's
n0wspa|»<(r and became master <>f three
des&nies--the Gazette's I-*; '■
and the White family's.
“Thirty years ago today the pfes-
iiainol. small-town scribe grow from
a news, advertising and subscrip-
tion hustler t<« a prairie philosopher
(yet always thatf and portly pro-
phet who walks with, talks with
an<l w rites about presidents and oth-
er such personages. “Thirty” sees
William Allen’s little bonded paper
built into a paying proposition and
a prominent publication, and “Thirty '
is by no means “Bill's" demise.
In a recent issue of his brain-child
Dio westerner rc-n eniseed:
“Thirty years ago todaythepres-
ent editor of The Gazette, aged 27.

a tax on profits. This i

and three hundred from
Plumb. He was a fast
Emporia's! young man and got some
money without much security.
He Took The Ride
“The White family, having tdiip-
ped their household goods from Kan-
sas City, had enrugh money to pay
the young editor’s fare to town and
a $1.2.> beside. He stood on the plat-
form on the evening before he took
charge with a $1.25 in his pocket.
Deciding that it would help his-cred-
it in town, he spent 25 cents mag-
nificently for a ha<k and rode to Im
hoarding house in state and style.’*
Fit- a matter of historical interest,
White reprinted his first editorial,
“for the gentle reader.” paragtaphs
of which might indicate the new Em-
an honest living and to leave an hon-
est name behind. If the good people
care ftv « fair. hone«t. home pap«r>
that will stand f«»r the best that i*
in the town—here it is.”
He added: “In the meantime, J
shall hustle advertising, j<‘a work
and suberriptioitii,' and write editor-
ials and telegraph* 12 hours a day Tn
spite of‘my ideals. The path of
glory is barred hog tight for the inan
who does not lalior while he waits.
Who could read Bill XX hite’s stars
better than Bill XX’hite himself?
Today Bill avers proliably not one
tenth of the present subscrilrers read
that editorial the firgt night—that
times have changed in there thirty
years, but that it might have bec|
written yesterday. *'
Papers Rapid Growth
Since the first pica was set. the
Gazette's payroll has increased from
something less than $50 a week to
$60,000 a year and “probably a little
more.” Forty families are depend-
ent upon tlie paper for a living, half
of whom have been working for Bill
ten years or more, and three fourth*
have Been there five years.
And at “Thirty” Bill opines. “Poli-
tics have never counted much with
The Gazette. It is run without
much thought of yesterday, with a
keen interest in today, and a high
hope for tomorrow. The hope and
the interests are for the town, the
state and the country, and the folks

poses and high ideals. But he needs
the close touch of older hands. 1'is
endeavor will be to make a paper for
the best people c«f the city. But to
do that he must have their hety.
They must counsel with him, be his
friends, often show him what their
sentiment is. On them rests the re-
sponsibility somewhat.
Public Sentiment All
“Public sentiment is the only senti-
ment that prevails. If the good,
honest, upright. God-fearing, law-
abiding people of many desire to be
reflected to the world, they must see
that their private opinion is public
(•pinion. They must stand by the
I editors who believe as they do.”
Concerning politics:
“The new editor of The Gazette
desires to make a clean, honest local
newspaper. He is a Republican and
will support Republican nominees,
first last and all the time. There
will be no bolting, no sulking, no
‘holier than thou’ business about his
politics—but pc*iitics is so little. Not
one man in ten cares for politics
more than two wrecks in a year. In
this paper, while politics will be
straight, it will not be' obstructive.
It will be confined to the editorial
page—where the gentle reader may
venture at his peril. The editor wih
do his best. He is not running the
paper for a political pull. If he could
get an office, he wouldn’t have it.”
“Later, Roosevelt’s Big Stick and

fied Bill’s platform somewhat.

He prefaced it. “To the gentle read-

Then “Bill” wrote future] local his-

“In the first place, the new editor

• alls her—and Walter Hughes, his
business manager, who has Ireen in
Eric. Pa., June 19.—Threatened
with starvation and in constant dan-
ger of attack by marauders, a little
band of Americans is imperiled by
the civil war now raging in China.
XX’ord from the expedition, headed
by Roy Chipman Andrews, which
represent* the American Museum of
Natural History, has been received
here.
Food is at a premium, tewna and
villages are being looted and death is
being meted out quickly to those
Mho are captured by contending
»orce«.
Upon arrival of the expedition in
Urga the entile communitv was in
a “state of disruption.” The Minis-
ter of War and his chief secretary
had been shot to death and, accord-
ing t<* Andrew*, efforts to get food
were unavailing.
Refused Supplies
“When supplies for the expedition,
including two tons of flour, a ton
of rice and other articles in propor-
tion. were ordered the natives laugh-
ed at us." Andrews reports.
“The day lx fore I had intended to
ship our supplies to Kalgan we hajj
word that the city had been hxsted
by soldiers.
-Their punishnrentw as swift and
wholesale. Tbe looters had gathered
at the top of the Pass waiting to
see what would hap|>en.
"Woid w-as sent to them that their
sins would l>e forgiven and they
would lx* sent home if they would
surrender. About 450 of them came
into Kalgan and gave up their anus.
“The men were put intc box cars
and told that within a few hours the
train would start for Peking. In-
stead of that they were taken out,
half a dozen at a time, searched, and
if was found on them they were
marched to the stone bridge in the
center of town and shot.
"At the end of a few hours 450
Ixxli.s lay in the dry river bed.
“This is only (*ne example of what
ha- Ise ngoing on in China almost
continuously since last October.”
Andrews says that Chinese soldiers
have confiscated every camel, car
and mule for a hundred miles beyond
Kalgan, the base from which the ex-
|K*ditioii started.
It was found necessary to drive
their camels f«r out into the desert
to keep tnem from the soldiers.
Confiscate Mounts
Andrews' reports were made to an
Elie man whose financial assistance
did mm h to make the expedition pos-
sible. The man, whose name cannot
).<• disclosed, died recently and the
ie)H>rt« are being received by others
interested in the expedition.
The expl-dition is conducting a
sea n il for dinosaur eggs and tracer
of human evolution. The plans call-
ed for the pentration of the region
south <>f the Altai Mountains, a dis-
til- t which has never before been ex-
plored.

ern base of the Altai*, as well as to
