Show Kansas Het Up Over "Henry and Me" " v What's the matter with Kansas? Nothing except that the state Is all het up over the fact that "Henry and Me" have fallen out over the railroad strike and "Henry" had "Me" arrested and the courts will settle It In October. "Henry" Is Gov. H. J. Allen (portrait (por-trait herewith), sponsor of the Kansas Court of Industrial Relations. "Me" Is William Allen White of the Emporia Em-poria Gazette and author of "The Martial Adventures of Henry and Me," a book written after the return of the two chums from overseas. Both have reputations as publicists and editors. Bill stuck a placard up In the Gazette Ga-zette window announcing that he sympathized sym-pathized with the strikers. Attorney General Hopkins said the placard wus against the antl-picketing section of the law. Bill refused to take It down, saying it was tyranny an attack on free speech. Henry had him arrested arrest-ed and he gave bond. Then Henry made a public speech In Emporia and Bill Introduced him. Henry suld among other things : "If trouble should arise In Emporia, Will White would he a brigadier general in the posse which would go out to protect law and order. The only time Bill is dangerous Is when he sits down before a double-action typewriter and writes out his emotion. When Bill put up that sympathy card he became dangerous because of the faith so many have In bis Judgment. His urrem is a great compliment to him." |
