Show PROVO (UTAH) SUNDAY HERALD, SUNDAY, JUNE 20, 1937 PAGE THREE Washington Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Paj One) It was very characteristic that one of the earliest advocates of U. S. recognition of Soviet Russia was this small-town Kansas editor. edi-tor. White had gone to Russia as a delegate to the Prinkipo conference con-ference in 1919, and came back to challenge the Red-baiters in the U. S. . As a result, he was blacklisted by the D. A. R. One of the Daughters wrote him a caustic letter, denouncing him as a Bolshevist Bol-shevist and a traitor to his country. coun-try. White replied, editorially: "Mrs. Brousseau is a lovely lady with many beautiful qualities quali-ties of heart and mind. But in her enthusiasm she has allowed several lengths of Ku-Klux nightie nigh-tie to show under her red, white and blue." ! SMASHED KLAN . White's tilting with the Klan embroiled him in his only attempt for public office. He has always held that an editor should never run for public office. But when in 1924 it appeared that the Klan would seize control of Kansas, i White quit his editorial sanctum and entered the political arena as a candidate for governor on a straight-out, anti-Klan platform. He ran as an Independent, with neither organization nor money behind him. With his young son at the wheel, he toured the state in an old Ford, often speaking eight and ten times a day. When the votes were counted, he had received 150,000, one out of "every three cast, not enough to elect him. but enough to smash the Klan. DECAYED CONSERVATIVE - In a book published last winter White listed a number of judgments judg-ments which he regrets having made during his life. Among them he recorded his characterizing "Eugene Debs as a charlatan, advocating ad-vocating the Spanish - American and World Wars, and asserting that Sacco and Vanzetti deserved their death sentences. Thus White again reverses the normal by becoming more liberal and tolerant the older he gets. He calls himself ."a decayed conservative." con-servative." White got started in journalism by sheer chance. Shortly after he entred the University of Kan-ras. Kan-ras. his father died. Unknown to Bill, his mother opened a board-:nc-house to keep him in school. When he heard of this, he wrote three job-hunting letters one to a grocer, one to a butcher, and one to a printer. The printer replied and White's newspaper career got under way. . jj; SON BILL Today there is another White stepping into his father's shoes. Son Bill was educated in Harvard and began his journalistic career on the Harvard Lampoon. Father Bill was very proud of that, but not sorry he missed his son s initiation. wnen young jrsiii oecame a member of the Lampoon staff he A For Sale! oo STEEL OFFICE SAFE Only PROVO HERALD s New and Used Furniture Used Wcstinghouse 0 ELECTRIC RANGB n (l K Rpfrierprator. 6! -"V Cj 7 - Used Kl SANITARY COUCHES . .

The high point of this came with Son Bill bellowing from a raised window. "I'm a filthy, sneaking, low-down low-down rat! I'm a pigeon-toed, knock-kneed yellow-belly! My name is William Allen White. Jr., Emporia, Kansas." -i. . : DAUGHTER'S OBITUARY Bill White had a daughter Mary. of whom he was verv fond. She died in 1921 and father-editor wrote her "obit.'" It began: "The Associated Press reports carrying the news of Mary White's death declared that it came as the result of a fall from a horse. How she would have hooted at that! She never fell from a horse in her life. ..." The rest of the article - which has become an editorial classic-was classic-was a touching tribute to the daughter. Bill White at 69 is still going strong. The Emporia Gazette, which had only 450 circulation " in 1895. now has 6.000. and it con tinues to run such quaint items ! as this which are as important . to the picture of William Allen White as his editorials: "The counter-boy at the Santa Pe depot says the prettiest woman wom-an in the world will flirt withyou : if you start flirting with her'just I as the train pulls out." j (Copyright 1987, by United ' Feature Syndicate, Inc.) n cu. ft.. . 3)oVS jH fcSK up oV3 LJl ca H ,vo i uu nave j ii JLW .JUrCf 45.00 N MOW, I5KJT THAT TOO ME BAPMV WOF.I?, OASOM WAP YOU -BUT MAPS tHI5 "TfVFLIkkS REQUEST 2.
