IT IS believed that this is the first effort to record the com- plete history of every newspaper and periodical published in a state. Kansas is the only state of which such a work could be written. From the first Kansas regarded the press as her supreme asset. In no other state was the press, as a whole, ever equal to that of Kansas in either ability or enterprise. This high standard was set up in the stirring territorial period when Kansas was battling for freedom for herself and liberty for America. The fierce conflict which raged here attracted the brilliant minds of the times, and it can be truthfully said that it was the pen as much as the sword that made Kansas free. Here are some of the names of the newspaper men of • those heroic days : D. W. Wilder, author of the "Annals of Kansas" ; Josiah Miller and R. G. Elliott, founders of the Kansas Free-State; William A. Phillips, author of "The Con- quest of Kansas"; Richard J. Hinton, correspondent for a number of eastern papers, and later a soldier and author; Richard Realf, the free-state poet, and soldier under John Brown ; John J. Ingalls, later United States senator, and author of "Opportunity," "Blue Grass," and other immortal produc- tions; Preston B. Plumb, later United States senator, first to promulgate the idea of the conservation of natural resources in America, and one of the great business men of his time; John Speer, founder of the Kansas Tribune, and author of the "Life of General James H. Lane" ; James Redpath, corre- spondent and author; George W. Martin, pioneer newspaper man, and long secretary of the State Historical Society; Ed- mund G. Ross, later United States senator, whose vote saved President Johnson ; Martin F. Conway, later member of Con- gress ; D. R. Anthony, colonel of the Fifteenth Kansas, and a man willing to fight to get peace; John M. Walden, later (5) 6 Kansas State Historical Society. bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church; John A. Martin, colonel of the Eighth Kansas, and later governor of Kansas; and M. M. Murdock, founder of the Wichita Eagle. The roll might be extended indefinitely,, and for talent, tact and achievement it stands alone. These splendid young Kan- sans were ably seconded by such men as Horace Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune; Albert D. Richardson, author of "Beyond the Mississippi"; Edward Everett Hale, Thomas H. Gladstone, John H. Kagi, Joseph Medill, Charles A. Dana, Henry Ward Beecher, William Cullen Bryant, Ralph Waldo Emerson, F. B. Sanborn, and many others of national and international fame. No wonder Kansas got on the newspaper map, forever to remain there. The editors of that time were succeeded by the men of the second era, reaching down to our generation — Prentis, Ware, Rice, Baker, King, Hudson, and a host of others. And many of the pioneer editors continued work into that period, just as scores of the second generation are now still in the harness as editors of Kansas newspapers. There is a perfect succession by which the methods and ideals of the pioneer editors have been perpetuated to this day. From that fountain flows the eminence and efficiency of the present Kansas press. Methods may be modified by time and changing conditions, but the ideals of the founders of the Kansas territorial press can never change. They are the principles underlying correct and suc- cessful journalism, and are immutable. Kansas is the spot-light of America. Conditions made her so; she must ever remain so. Her pioneer editors kindled a beacon which flames across the sky to this hour. The present and future Kansas press will see that its splendor is not diminished. However they may differ on other questions, Kansas editors are one in their agreement with Ingalls, that "Other states could be spared without irreparable bereave- ment, but Kansas is indispensable to the joy, the inspiration and the improvement of the world." History of Kansas Newspapers. It is a great privilege to be a citizen of Kansas, and it is a great responsibility to be charged with the oversight and per- petuity of the ideals of the state. But the Kansas newspaper man is equal to the task. His first concern is that everything vital to Kansas shall be given early and constant attention. The job of the Kansas newspaper man is a big one, and if by chance one fails to measure up to the Kansas ideals he usually seeks fields less strenuous. One of the great things done by the Kansas newspaper men was the founding of the Kansas State Historical Society. And the Society has always recognized its obligations to the Kansas press. The closest relations between these two great Kansas institutions have always existed. Secretaries Adams and Martin were pioneer newspaper men in Kansas. They knew the news and how to write ■ it. 1 They knew Kansas — knew her ideals and traditions and how to serve them and pre- serve them. Newspaper men and women have been on the board of directors of the Society, and always dominant in its councils and management. That is why it is the largest state historical society in America, with but one exception, and the most efficient of all. In one feature of the Society's activities this superiority is specially manifest; that is the newspaper collection. A copy of every issue of every paper published in Kansas is furnished the Historical Society for its files. These files are carefully preserved and bound. This collection reaches back to the founding of the Society, 1875. It is now believed to be the largest newspaper collection in the world, comprising more than fifty thousand bound volumes, including some foreign papers — that is, papers published in the leading cities of the country, which the Society subscribes for to add to its collection. Kansas is the pioneer in this idea of pre- serving the state's newspapers. The Kansas newspaper collection has a value which can not be computed in money. To properly care for it and keep it accessible to the public is a tremendous task ; but the Society is 8 Kansas State Historical Society. doing it, although with insufficient facilities. The weeklies are all on shelves and properly classified. But the dailies are stacked on benches. It is difficult to consult some of them. There is ample room in the book-stacking of the Society's quarters, but steel shelving has not been supplied. It is hoped that the legislature at its coming session will remedy this condition by an appropriation to complete the shelving. / T^HAT this work shall be found entirely free from errors is ■*■ too much to expect. It covers a period of almost eighty years, and proposes to give a complete history of practically every paper published in Kansas during that time. It is hoped that few errors will be found. The presentation of the portraits of the Kansas newspaper men and women was one of the difficulties of this volume. It was impossible to include all. A list was selected as represen- tative of the interest and location of the Kansas press. Those shown are not put in because of superior talent. Those not appearing here are equal in all respects. The list shown is intended to be representative only. The secretary takes this occasion to express grateful ac- knowledgment to the Kansas press for help in putting up this work. He never made an appeal in vain. And he wishes his acknowledgment to go farther. He has had at all times the most cordial support of the Kansas newspapers in conducting the affairs of the Kansas State Historical Society. He believes that the best he can do in every instance is due the newspapers of Kansas. The preparation and publication of this work is, he hopes, some effort in the direction of discharging a small portion of his obligations to the Kansas' press. The Story of Kansas and Kansas Newspapers.* BY CAPTAIN HENRY KING. THE first Kansas banner was a newspaper. It made its advent under an elm tree on the town site of Leavenworth, September 15, 1854. There was not yet a house to be seen, nor any other definite sign of civilization. The situation presented only the aspect of primeval and uninterrupted nature. Never before had such a thing come to pass in such circumstances. It boldly challenged precedent and announced a new departure. For the first time the press manifested the pioneering instinct and proposed to lead and not to follow the course of progress — to become itself a part of the history of settlement and development. Perhaps it was an accident; possibly it was an inspiration; certainly it was infused with the denoting significance of those choice and potent events which constitute the basis and the philosophy of history. There was room for the criticism that the scheme of starting a news- paper before there was any news to print was illogical, fantastic, pre- posterous. But it was not then, and has never since been, so regarded in Kansas. The novelty of it was infectious. A second paper was soon established at Kickapoo. Early in 1855 two more appeared here in Lawrence. Others followed as new towns were founded. The printing press preceded all the usual agencies of society. It did not wait for the rudimentary clutter of things to be composed and organized. The spirit of adventure thrust it forward ahead of the calaboose, the post office, the school, the church, and made it a. symbol of conquest. Thus the theory of publicity was emphasized as a factor in the westward march of the American people and their institutions; and thus Kansas was signalized by a revelation that materially enlarged the scope and meaning of modern journalism. It is to be remembered that the Kansas of those prelusive days was an unknown quantity. The early explorers had stigmatized it as a desert which could only serve the purpose of restricting our population and thereby insuring a continuance of the Union. This view had been ac- cepted by the geographers, and was not positively contradicted until the newspapers crossed the Missouri river and began to put the prolonged myth, the monstrous falsehood, in the way of gradual extinction. What the newspapers failed to tell, the town builders proclaimed in the form of gaudy and alluring pictures, which sometimes represented things that had not yet gone through the formality of taking place. It was one of these "chromatic triumphs of lithographed mendacity," as he called it, which brought a young lawyer named Ingalls from Massachusetts to Kansas. His first sight of the town of his imagination was a rude and mortifying disappointment. He wrote vividly of the squalid reality as contrasted with the beautiful fiction. But, like the rest, he had come to ~ Commencement-day address delivered nt the Kansas State Universit> , June 6. 1906, by Captain Henry King, editor of the St. Lun's (Mo. ) tilobe Democrat (9) 10 Kansas State Historical Society. stay, to make a home, to find a career. "It remains to be proved," he said, "whether there is any heroic stuff in my mold, and whether or not, in my hunger after the western horizon, I have eaten my own happiness." We may easily believe that this expressed a common feeling among the new settlers. Most of them were having their first experience of frontier life, and all of them were comparatively poor. The task that confronted them involved all kinds of toil, privation, peril and sacrifice; but if they could have foreseen the tyhole story they would not have turned back. As they became acquainted with Kansas they developed a faith in her and a devotion to her which made them equal to every trial and superior to all vicissitudes. The typical habitation was a primitive log cabin, but it was invested with the splendor of a castle by their fidelity to all that it represented. They drew a profit from the discipline of industry and frugality; and they went hungry, if necessary, to keep the newspaper coming to the home. The newspapers did not have to wait long for news. It soon began to reach them in abundance and diversity. There was something doing every day. Kansas suddenly became a history maker in the full sense of the term. The homeseekers were diverted from their simple and ordinary affairs to meet a problem that trivialized all other considerations. An irrepressible conflict that had exhausted the ingenuity of statesmen in schemes of compromise and postponement was focused here for practical adjustment. It was a question of choosing between free and servile labor, not on moral grounds alone, but also with reference to social and economic interests. A contagion of politics overspread the territory. There was a copious flow of speeches, resolutions, manifestoes and proc- lamations. Convention succeeded convention almost as often as changes of the moon. Twelve general elections were held in less than three years. Popular government was exemplified as a continuous assertion of the rights and functions of citizenship, including the privilege of shooting and being shot at for opinion's sake. It was a period of intense feeling and desperate determination. The lines were drawn with unmistakable precision, leaving no middle refuge for the shirk or the sluggard. As a man voted, so he was expected to fight. The conditions were hair-triggered — the word and the blow were simultaneous. Excesses attended the proceedings on both sides, but we can well afford to forget them in view of the rich profusion of heroism and glory with which they were associated. It was a busy time for newspapers. They had opportunities that combined practice with theory and provided ample facilities for all kinds of services. Their post of duty was on the firing line, and they helped to bring about the news they pub- lished. In several instances their offices were sacked and demolished but somehow they got more type and more presses and resumed their work with additional zeal and an invigorated vocabulary. Their number steadily increased, until in 1858 there were twenty-two of them. They pushed their way, with further accessions, through multiplied difficulties to the day of rejoicing which marked the admission of Kansas to the Union, January 29, 1861. And on the 22d of February following, the flag of the United States bearing the new star was raised for the first History of Kansas Newspapers. 11 time, over Independence Hall, by that most lovable of our national heroes, Abraham Lincoln. This should have brought tranquillity and happiness to Kansas. But the logic of destiny that was interthreaded with its life and its relations had other demands upon its courage and endurance. It was an hour of triumph, but the ominous reverberations of the recent conflict would not be silenced. It had lit the torch for a great national catastrophe. The War of the Rebellion ensued, and it was required to put itself to still harder tests than those through which it had just passed. Poor as it was in worldly goods, it yet possessed a wealth of manhood and patriotism. Its newspapers sounded the trumpet call of duty. At the very outset of the war it began offering its sons and soldiers to defend the Union it had just entered. It furnished more of them than it had voters, and the ratio of mortality among them exceeded that of any other state. It was in- vaded and scourged and plundered. Its towns were attacked and un- armed citizens massacred in the streets. But it fought on; it kept the faith ; it persevered to the end. When peace came Kansas was prostrate and desolate. The prolonged reign of turmoil and havoc paralyzed its industries and frustrated its chances of development. It was set back to a new beginning. The most valuable of its few remaining assets was represented in its newspapers. How many had contrived to survive they did not explain. There were thirty-seven of them — precisely the same number, by a singular coinci- dence, that existed in the whole country when the Declaration of Inde- pendence was proclaimed. They stimulated hope and confidence; they invited immigration, and promoted every form of enterprise. The growth that followed was unprecedented. It involved all the elements of state making, from the bottom weeds to the top of the structure. The spirit of the people was adventurous, self-centered, impatient of slow progress, and indifferent to the danger of trying experiments. They did not care so much how other states had been constructed if to do so they must re- linquish the right to fashion Kansas according to their own views and purposes. It was their ambition to be sufficient unto themselves, and right well was their assurance justified by its general results. Those were unique and spacious days in Kansas, never to be repeated in any country. It is one of the choicest memories of my life that I was permitted to see and feel the wonder and thrill of it all. To look back upon it in the light of present conditions is to realize, as was not then possible, the full measure of its importance. We were mostly young men who had been in the war and were glad to be back, and who had come here to find out what fortune could be coaxed or constrained to do for us. In many respects it was like drifting in on another planet. The newness and strangeness, the vastness, the emptiness, appealed to the imagination, and to the judgment as well. Certainly there was no lack of room, or liberty, or opportunity; and as for the rest, that was simply a question of learning how to grow up with the country. There was a serious side to the undertaking, of course, but we did not allow that to dismay or depress us. Our habitual mood was one of cheerfulness. We lived in the sunshine and wore our hearts on our 12 Kansas State Historical Society. sleeves, defying the daws to peck at them. The course of thought and speech was free from restraining precedents- and intrusive superstitions. Our mental operations were apt to be venturesome in all directions. We did a good deal of trespassing on the grass. Frankness and independence were encouraged, and there was indulgence for shortcomings where in- tentions were apparent. We did not shoot the violinist when he was doing the best he could. Every man had a fair chance and equality prevailed, because, like honesty, it was the best policy. No citizen of the state had money enough to excite envy. The normal, condition of the pecuniary appendix was vexed and feverish, and if an octopus had appeared he would have been welcomed as something that we needed in our business. Instead of antagonizing the railroads, we besought them with gifts of bonds galore to come and raise the value of our lands for us and help us to build more schoolhouses and to get higher prices for our products. The population of the state increased from 140,179 in 1865 to 362,307 in 1870, and the number of newspapers increased ( in the same time from 37 to 80. These papers were all better than their patronage warranted. That is to say, they were characteristic of Kansas and in harmony with the spirit of the people. They discounted the future and trusted in the law of possibilities. And so when it was suggested that we ought to have a publication of still more excellence the editors indorsed the idea, and in January, 1872, the first number of the Kansas Magazine appeared. It was an audacious project, a rushing in where angels might have feared to tread. In other words, it was an amplification of the Kansas theory of "publishing nonpareil papers in long primer towns." The story of it has been appreciatively told by your Professor Carruth. It was not born with a silver spoon in its mouth, and it never propitiated fate with the earning of a dividend. But it was a good investment, nevertheless. As an advertisement for Kansas it was worth many times more than the $10,000 that it cost its uncomplaining stockholders. It did not pay, strictly speaking, but it was a distinctive literary triumph; it added a precious chapter to history, and, in Professor Carruth's phrase, "the light of it still lingers on the western sky." There are things in the bound volumes of that lamented publication which belong with the classics of American literature. It has preserved for later generations the atmosphere of a remarkable epoch. The ele- mental mystery and fascination of the plains, the intermingled comedy and tragedy of frontier life, are vividly mirrored in its pages. It re- flected from first to last the buoyancy and progressiveness of the young state; it was a pronounced assertion of the consciousness of Kansas. Ingalls and Steele were the stars of first magnitude in its constellation of contributors, but there were others, mostly newspaper men who did striking and unforgettable work, often behind the mask of anonymity. The enthusiasm of its founders included some dream stuff, no doubt but at the same time it represented certain vital and practical facts. It was not a necessity, and therefore it did not attain permanence; but it sur- vived long enough to prove that Kansas was capable of producing a first- class magazine, if it was not yet able to support and perpetuate it. History of Kansas Newspapers. 13 The failure of the magazine was deeply regretted, but we reconciled ourselves to the loss,' and went on with our schemes for making Kansas grow toward both the horizon and the zenith. We were not in the busi- ness of looking backward. When the day was done we left it to itself and took up a new one. There was no past tense in the grammar of our calculations and our enterprises. It was to-morrow and not yesterday that filled our dreams and absorbed our energies. Ill luck came often, but it did not tarry, because we snapped our fingers at it and laughed it away. Property was always going to be higher in the spring. We cir- cumvented the ironies of the financial system by indorsing one another's promissory notes. The peculiar metaphysics of the situation hyphenated us in a kind of general sympathy and comradery. We had our rivalries and our antipathies, but for the most part they were transient and sub- ordinate, and did not cause any serious disturbance of the fundamental concord. It was in our politics, perhaps, that we were most apt to disregard the impulses of brotherly kindness and patience. The Kansas newspapers had early manifested a partiality for aggressive and vociferous cam- paigns. They were very fond of putting candidates under the harrow, as they called it — a process which they have not yet entirely abandoned, I am told. All the leading public men of the state had been subjected to such treatment from time to time; and even a toughened veteran like Gen. Jim Lane had been lacerated to the point of calling for mercy from the Atchison Champion when Ingalls was editing it. "About the mildest term it ever applies to me," he said, "is miscreant." The contest of 1872 was stuffed with this explosive material. A new legislature was to be chosen, and it was to elect a United States senator, and a brilliant young editor — now a scandal of world-wide notoriety — Pomeroy, had the prize snatched from him, at the very moment of grasping it, by a dramatic exposure that was without a parallel. The speech which precipitated this squalid and incongruous calamity was not reported, and its excited author could not coherently recall what he had said. Well, we could not afford to go to press without it, and a brilliant young editor — now a prominent lawyer — Col. W. H. Rossington, went to his desk and wrote such a speech as in his opinion ought to have been delivered, and that was the speech which was printed everywhere, and praised by the London Times. The next day John J. Ingalls was elected senator and started upon the road to highest distinction in oratory and statesmanship. For eighteen years he served in that exalted station with conspicuous and picturesque success, and his statue stands in the national capitol to specify and commemorate his recognized greatness. By comimon consent his name leads all the rest in the gallery of eminent Kansas citizens. No adequate biography of him has yet been written; no satisfactory analysis of his character and achievements has ever been made. The best of all attempts in that respect, I think, is to be credited to an honored graduate and regent of this university, Mr. Charles S. Gleed. It is comparatively easy to measure and define conventional qualities of greatness, but Ingalls was phenomenal and paradoxical. The people of Kansas admired and applauded him, but they never wholly understood him. He did not invite 14 Kansas State Historical Society. the familiarity that flatters the vanity and allures the goodfellowship of the, multitude. His intellect was not persuasive, but intimidating and compulsory. He always held a brief for the prosecution. His natural attitude was self -poised and imperturbable, as if to say, "I am the master of my fate, the captain of my soul." That distinguished Kansas exile, George R. Peck, tells of once coming upon him in the midst of a terrible political struggle, of which he was the central figure, and finding him complacently reading Charles Lamb's Essays. " , There was no affectation, no demagogy in this inflexible imperturba- bility. It was a congenital part of the man. "They call me haughty," he said, "which means that I scorn stupidity and hate shams and hy- pocrisies." His style as a writer and a speaker was inimitably elegant and melodious. He was an expert in the chemistry of words and the architecture of literary edifices. The rapier and not the machete was symbolized in his extraordinary power of invective. He was a poet and a lover of nature, and he had a keen sense of humor that was at once both a spur and a shield to him. What a delight it was to sit in his library and listen to his incomparable talk. I cherish in particular the recollection of one such occasion. It was a stormy summer night, with the wind sweep- ing through the trees and the rain spattering against the windows. His boy Sheffield was playing with toys on the hearth; an enormous cat was furtively watching the door. The senator was in his happiest mood. We discussed history, science, poetry, sociology — almost everything under the sun but politics — and even politics did not finally escape, for he had to tell me of a letter just received from Uncle Chet Thomas, who was holding a federal appointment and' had been notified that he would have to give it up. The letter said, "I wish you would fix it so I can hold on until fall — and make it as late in the fall as possible." Gradually the conversation got around to certain criticisms which had been made on his use of the expression "the splendid invention of immortality." Then he delivered one of the most eloquent lectures I have ever heard. All the doubts and difficulties of the searchers after truth about the future world were pre- sented in a most glittering and incisive way; and when he had finished we sat silent. The storm had abated, and there were stars to be seen. The cat was purring softly in a corner; the boy lay asleep at his father's feet, like Brutus' little lute player. Suddenly the senator turned to me and said with thrilling earnestness in his voice, "I would give everything I have for my wife's implicit faith in Christianity." When the time came for his retirement from the station which he had so long adorned, he accepted the inevitable with his usual composure. I saw him soon after he left the senate. His talk was still as charming as ever, and he spoke freely of the change in his fortunes ; but I could not fail to detect in his manner a sense of melancholy. There was no repining- and no bitterness, but there was the fatigue and debilitation of a chastened spirit, the pathetic lassitude of a broken heart. Incidentally he gave me to understand that he had ceased to entertain any political plans or expectations. He felicitated me upon the fact that I was chief editor of a great newspaper, and, declared if his life were to be lived over, that would be his ambition. I never saw him, again. The next I heard from him he History of Kansas Newspapers. 15 was seeking health in the arid solitudes of the Southwest. It was a vain and sorrowful quest. "I am desperately tired and discouraged and home- sick," he wrote. But he was not to reach home and die there, as he wished. His returning journey was cut short, and under an alien sky, with his wife at his side and the Lord's prayer on his lips, he fell into the ultimate sleep, in the shadow of everlasting wings. The editorial fraternity of Kansas has a right to claim Ingalls as one of its celebrities. He belonged primarily to the guild of writers, the promoters of publicity. It was repeatedly demonstrated that he possessed all the instincts and tendencies of a journalist; and his first election to the senate, he always insisted, was due to the Kansas Magazine more than to any one influence. He never lost his interest in newspapers and their relation to the welfare and progress of the state. It was his pleasure to see them grow during his presence in the senate at a rate unequaled elsewhere. At the time of his death they numbered over 500. They were all governed by the same general principle of devotion to Kansas and paramount attention to its affairs. It has always been true of the Kansas press that it has kept in close touch with its patrons and given preference to the local drift of things. This is probably the main secret of its strength and its utility, and there is to be derived from it an important lesson to journalism. The tendency of too many newspapers is toward the remote and universal instead of that which directly concerns the average reader. It is all very well to tell what is going on in different parts of the world, and to prate profoundly about events and issues that have the enchantment of distance, but it is better to make a faithful report of proximate occurrences and to editorialize on themes that have to do with the practical life of a given community. The paper that devotes most of its space to its own town and state has the true idea of its mission and its limitations. From the first the Kansas newspapers have been guided by this salutary theory. They have never attempted to cover the whole earth with their searching gaze and their ambitious wisdom, but have been con- tent to make the dimensions of the state their principal field of opera- tions. This has signified concentration of effort and purpose, and con- centration means power and brings results. They have persistently sub- ordinated everything else to home news and for Kansas, exploiting its advantages and celebrating its virtues, standing by it in adversity and rejoicing with it in prosperity. Now and then they have had follies and absurdities to confess in its name, and they have not evaded the duty which has sometimes required them to poke fun at themselves. They have thus caused Kansas to live an open life, with all the world looking on and never turning away for lack of entertainment. It will not do to deny that there have been times when Kansas had the appearance of a lost cause, a collapsed experiment. More than once an exceptional malignity of misfortune has strained the confidence of its people almost to the point of surrender. When the drouth and the grass- hoppers came, for example, and devastated the state to an extent which suggested a vindication of the old myth of the desert there was seemingly but little justification for hope of success. Those who passed through that 16 Kansas State Historical Society. distressing and humiliating period can never forget it. But for the news- papers, the state might have been depopulated. They labored as assidu- ously to cheer the popular heart, to alleviate the want and suffering, to save Kansas from threatened dissolution. An appeal was made for out- side help, and there went with it a brave proclamation of abiding faith in the state. The response was liberal and sufficient. All sections of the country contributed, and it is worth remembering that the largest sum received from any point was sent by the lately stricken city of San Francisco. The baleful reputation of this calamity hung over Kansas for several years, but the newspapers continued to boast of the state and its re- sources, and a succession of good crops helped to verify their estimates. History will never tell how diligently the editors sought for facts to in- fluence home seekers, and how enthusiastically close they often came to bearing false witness, not against their neighbors, but in behalf of them. I can personally testify to their good intentions, as well as to their per- plexities over the conflict between the demands of veracity and the im- pulses of loyalty. We knew that when they feared they might be pre- varicating they were at most only anticipating. The eggs were in the basket all right, and it was only a matter of waiting for them to be ' hatched. It was permissible to mix visions and prophecies with current and negotiable realities when it was all certain to come true. Those of us upon whose souls such burdens rested have been greatly relieved and com- forted, you may be sure, to see how grandly Kansas has surpassed our uttermost speculation. Indeed, we must own to a touch of professional chagrin that we stated the case so moderately. You hardly need to be reminded that the Kansas papers have always been essentially optimistic, and here again we have a valuable lesson in journalism. It is the proper business and obligation of the press to keep the bright side of life constantly in view. This does not imply that all disagreeable facts should be suppressed or their importance minimized; but it does imply that there is no valid reason for a policy which is cal- culated only to make people morbid and unhappy. We must not put out of sight the truths that we need to ,consider ; but neither should we parade and embellish things that can only serve a troublesome purpose. The best form of dominion over the public mind is that which excites buoyancy and encourages hope and pluck. All praise and honor, therefore, to the Kansas newspapers for their steady preaching of the gospel of good cheer. It has been a hard task at times to persist in a sanguine view while the clouds were rolling by and subscriptions were dwindling and creditors were importunate; but they have invariably gone on breathing and diffusing ozone, and, like Ulysses, taking the buffets of fortune "with a frolic welcome." ' This immensely profitable service was not rendered in any flippant or slipshod manner. The Kansas press has ever been noted for its high' standard of excellence. You will search its files in vain for vibrations of unintelligence, for specimens of puerile or slovenly workmanship There can be no "aspersion on its part of speech"; there are no orphaned verbs and widowed nouns ludicrously splotching its record. Many of its History of Kansas Newspapers. 17 editors have been finished scholars, and all of them have known how to utter their messages in clear, precise and vigorous terms., And Kansas has not been ungrateful to these industrious and effective men behind the pen. It has rewarded them with official places of profit and distinction. They have been summoned from their ordinary labors to perform legis- lative and executive duties, to act as consuls and ministers abroad, to be governors and United States senators; and in no instance have they failed to measure up to the requirements. It would be impossible for me to call the complete roll of the Kansas editors with whom it was my pleasure and advantage to be associated, and I am reluctant to name one without all of them. But I must speak of the one always foremost in our esteem and affection — dear old Web Wilder; all of those acknowledged leaders, Dwight Thacher, Father Baker, Noble Prentis, Sol Miller, Ed Howe, the Anthonys, the Martins, the Burkes, the Murdocks, Eugene Ware, Ward Burlingame, the Rices, Milt Reynolds, Joe Hudson, Jake Stotler, Prouty, Speer, Peters, Hoch, Learnard, -Hanna, Roberts — how readily the list increases ! And yet I could not forgive myself if I omitted Henry Inman, Alex. Butts, Wirt Walton, Johnny Gilmore, Jack Downing, West Wilkinson, Clay Park, Buckingham, Meredith, Taylor, Lane, Griffin, Folks, Peffer, Millington, Riddle, Capper, MacLennan, Sheridan, Walker, Admire, McElroy, Em- mert, Rizer, McNeal, Chalfant, Sampson, and Wilson. These and others are all names to be cherished in the great, generous heart of the state. Some, alas! have been chiseled on tombstones, others still remain at the mastheads of Kansas newspapers, and others have slipped out by well- earned right of retirement, which always in the case of the editor carries with it an unstifleable longing to be in the harness again. I am not seeking to immortalize my former comrades and friends as individuals; I am only trying to show what they signify as a fraternity, and to indicate how notable and beneficent their efforts have been in the shaping of the life of this illustrious commonwealth. Take that most exact and valuable of Kansas books, Wilder's "Annals," and you will see how the influence of the press runs all through the history of the state like an electric current. The book itself is only a compilation of clippings from the newspapers, and it provides all the information that is necessary to a comprehensive and circumstantial understanding of how the state has been made, and why it is what it is instead of something else. Such a book could not be written about any other state, because in no other state has the press been so intimately and impressively related to .the general course of events. The force that was crudely set in motion under that elm tree on the river bank at Leavenworth has proved to be an instrument of destiny, and the lessons it teaches are too plain and too important to be misunderstood or disregarded. Thus Kansas has been made a training school for journalists, and the whole country has derived advantage from its instruction. It has equipped men who have reflected credit upon the profession from the Atlantic to the Pacific. They are to be found everywhere. There is no better recommendation in the newspaper offices of other states than "formerly of Kansas." This means much at the present time when 18 Kansas State Historical Society. journalism is becoming, if it has not already become, the greatest power in the system of modern civilization. Kansas now has newspapers ita 395 of its towns, being surpassed in that respect by only seven of the other states. They aggregate over 700, and may safely challenge comparison of merits with those of any other state. It is to be hoped, or rather it is not to be doubted, that they will continue to grow both in number and in excellence. That has been their habit in the past, and they can not do otherwise in the future without ceasing to be Kansas newspapers. It remains to be said, on this noble eminence of Mount Oread, the state's intellectual center of gravity, that the dominant note of Kansas history and Kansas newspapers is exultant and reassuring. We happen to be living just now in an era of accusation and exposure. The air is crammed with the yellow particulars of commercial and social iniquity. We can not turn in any direction without encountering a prophet of disaster. The pessimists are striving with all their benumbing power to make us despair of the republic, to persuade us that the canker of vice is at the heart of everything, and that nothing can save us but a great national regeneration. It is a good time to read the story of Kansas and get its healthy inspiration. Let us not be in a hurry to believe that our civilization is a failure, and that our patriotism has forfeited its vitality. Evils we hav^ continually with us, we know; but have we not also much that is good and strong and splendid? This magnificent university is itself a standing protest against the skepticism of the carpers and alarm- ists. There is yet room for optimism. Wherever reforms are really needed they will undoubtedly be made; the intrinsic and puissant virtues of organized society will survive and prevail; and it will still remain true, as it has ever been, that "God 's in his heaven, All 's right with the world."

When he leaves college to begin his education the country editor is filled with ideas for man's betterment, charged with reforming zeal and overflowing with enthusiasm for the purification of politics. He calls attention to neighborhood conditions, suggests improvement and is shunned by nice people. He pounces upon the first wrong that shows its ugly head and subscriptions stop. He tries to sweeten the fetor of politics and loses all chance at the county printing. He soon learns that men do not trouble to change conditions. Conditions change the man. The head is squeezed to fit the hat, and he acquires the charming art of touching up truth. Youth accepts positions instead of getting jobs ; ancient maidens enter- tain and "a delightful time was had," while a henhouse fire is a holocaust. But he does his work in the world and we give a meed of praise to the busy, brainy, bustling body whose only hope of reward is in getting the post office. [Drawing by Albert T.

BY KANSAS FARMER I 20 Kansas State Historical Society. DANIEL W. WILDER. History of Kansas Newspapers. 21 DANIEL W. WILDER. DANIEL WEBSTER WILDER was born at Blackstone, Mass., July 15, 1832. He died at his home in Hiawatha, Kan., July 15, 1911. He was the seventh son of Dr. Abel Wilder. He spent four years at the Boston Latin School, was an attentive and studious boy, received prizes every year, graduated second in his class, and received a Franklin medal. At Harvard he was an officer in the Hasty Pudding Club, the Alpha Delta Phi, and three other college societies. He graduated in 1856, and was awarded the first prize, a gold medal, for elocution in competition with all the classes. Charles F. Browne, better known as "Artemus Ward," was his roommate, and the friendships formed there with such men as F. B. Sanborn continue to this day. After his graduation Mr. Wilder studied law, and he was admitted to the Boston bar in 1857. In June of that year he visited Kansas. In 1858 he settled at Elwood, in Doniphan county, and became the editor of the Elwood Free Press. In August, 1860, he went to St. Joseph, com- mercially a Kansas town on Missouri soil, where he was editor of the Free Democrat, a Republican paper. For the advocacy of freedom for the slaves he was indicted, and compelled to return to Kansas, losing his investment in Missouri. He became editor of the Leavenworth Daily Conservative in January, 1861. He was one of the founders of the paper, and when Col. D. R. Anthony went into the army he purchased the Anthony interest and became the sole proprietor. He married, March 3, 1864, Miss Mary E. Irvin, of Atchison county. In 1865 he went to Rochester, N- Y., where he was the editor of the Evening Express; but he found it impossible to remain away from Kansas; and returned again in 1868 to edit the Leavenworth Conservative. He became the editor of the Fort Scott Monitor in 1871. In 1872 he was elected auditor of state, and his first official report created a sensation. Dishonest and corrupt practices had long been in existence in the office of the state treasurer. Mr. Wilder laid bare the foul ulcer with keen sentences and facts sharper than the surgeon's scalpel. He turned a blaze of light into the caves of official corruption, and the plunderers fled in consternation. They did not return, and from that day Kansas has met her obligations faithfully. His reforms extended even to the administrative affairs of counties, and they have been of immeasurable value to the people of Kansas. In October, 1876, Mr. Wilder resigned his"office to become editor of the St. Joseph Herald; but this was only for another attempt at the im- possible, and he returned again to Kansas and settled in Hiawatha, where he was editor and proprietor of the World. This he disposed of to accept the office of state commissioner of insurance. In this capacity his fidelity to his trust and his methods of insurance in Kansas have resulted in great benefit to the people of that state. A word about the "Annals of Kansas." This is one of the greatest of American books — the greatest Kansas book. Before it we had much writing and some bookmaking, but we had no order, no arrangement. We 22 Kansas State Historical Society. - -<*> EUGENE F. WARE. -<$> History of Kansas Newspapers. 23 needed some one to blaze a pathway through our wilderness of material and give a proper proportion to the perspective. Only a man of creative power could do that. We had accumulated, like David of old, a great store of precious stuff, but we had built no temples. Wilder became our architect; he pointed out the proper place for each stone and timber. We shall always build along his plans. Utility is the great object of all labor, of all effort; what is of no utility fails and is cast aside. In this principle lies the imperishable fame of Wilder. In writing this great work perhaps he did not realize the value of the services he was rendering his country. But it was put into his mind to do it, and he could not but comply; he could no more escape it than could the prophet in his mission to Nineveh. It is certain that he did not write in any effort to seek fame. It is most likely that it was suggested in his editorial labor, and that his paramount purpose was to supply the "boys," his contemporary journalists, a terse guide to what had been done here. EUGENE F. WARE. EUGENE FITCH WARE was born at Hartford, Conn., May 29, 1841 ; died at Cascade, Colo., July 1, 1911. His parents moved to Burling- ton, Iowa, when he was a child. Iowa was at that time a territory, and he grew to man's estate on the frontier of our rapidly expanding republic. Before he was twenty (in April, 1861) he enlisted in the First Iowa volunteer infantry. This regiment was called for a three months' service — a term supposed by many to be sufficient to put down the rebellion. At the expiration of his first period he reenlisted, first in the Fourth Iowa cavalry, and then in the Seventh, with which regiment he was mustered out in June, 1866. He went into the army a private soldier. In the capacity of lieutenant and captain he was aide-de-camp successively for Generals Robert B. Mitchell, C. J. Stolbrand, Washington R. Elliott, and Granville' M. Dodge. General Dodge was one of General Sherman's corps commanders. Ware's conception of his duty at the beginning of the war he recorded for us at a later date in his exquisite poem, "Neutralia." Mr. Ware's newspaper work began in 1866-'67, when he returned to Burlington, Iowa, his home, from the army. Of this period of his life he has said: "I used to be a newspaper man. I was on the Burlington Hawkeye away back in '66-'67. That was my first job after leaving the army. I en- listed the day we got news of Fort Sumter, in the First Iowa regiment. I was just nineteen then. I belonged to a zouave drill company that was famous throughout the West for fancy drilling — all boys. Minute war broke out, nothing would do us but we must go. And such pulling and using of influence ! Every one was afraid he 'd be left out on that first roll, and that the war 'd be over in sixty days and he would n't get to go. I was delighted when I was taken. Well, I served out that stretch, and then I did three years in the Fourth Iowa cavalry. And still the war was n't over. I went out again as a. volunteer cavalry officer, and after peace was -declared with the South we were sent North to fight Sioux Indians. Then we were mustered out, and I went back to Burlington — twenty-four years old and looking for a job. 24 Kansas State Historical Society. <*>- -<$> NOBLE L. PRENTIS. «> History of Kansas Newspapers. 25 "I contributed an editorial or so to the Hawkeye, which was then edited by a Mr. Beardsley. After him came Frank Hatton, and then Bob Bur- dette, you know. But they were after my time. Mr. Beardsley liked my ' stuff and offered me $75 a month to go on the paper regularly, and after consideration I took him up. I liked the work, too. Pretty soon I evolved an idea. Mr. Beardsley liked to make running comments on the tele- grams we got; for instance, "How does this strike you?" New York, such a date, and then the story. I was given charge of the telegraphic news and wrote my other stuff beside. ..." In Kansas Mr. Ware wrote much for the newspapers. In the Greeley campaign, in 1872, he edited the Fort Scott Monitor in Greeley's interest. That fine old paper never had a more interesting year than that when its editorials were written by Ware. It is hardly necessary to call attention of the people of Kansas to the literary labors of E. F. Ware. His "Rhymes of Ironquill" passed through many editions and has been read with delight all over the world. Mr. Ware was a fine lawyer, and he was commissioner of pensions under President Roosevelt. NOBLE L. PRENTIS. NOBLE LOVELY PRENTIS was born April 8, 1839, in a log cabin three miles from Mount; Sterling, Brown county, Illinois. He died July 6, 1900, at the home of his daughter, at La Harpe, in the same state, within a few miles of the place of his birth. His parents were from Vermont, and were descended from English settlers who came to America in 1630 and 1641, respectively. His grandfather Prentis served in the Revolutionary army, and two of his uncles gave their lives — one at Bunker Hill and one at Saratoga. Several of his mother's family were enrolled in that war from the state of Connecticut. His father and mother died at Warsaw, 111., of the cholera, in the epidemic of 1849, leaving him an orphan at the age of ten. He went to live with an uncle in Vermont. At the age of eighteen he went to Connecticut, and was apprenticed to the printer's trade. He came West and worked for awhile in a newspaper office at Carthage, 111. At the beginning of the Civil War he enlisted as a private in the Sixteenth Illinois, serving until the close of the war. He was mustered out after putting in four years. He published a newspaper at Alexandria, Mo. May 13, 1866, he was married to Miss Maria C. Strong, by whom he had two daughters. She died in Atchison in 1880. He edited a paper in Carthage, 111. Capt. Henry King induced him to come to Topeka in 1869 and assist him on the Record. He next worked on the Commonwealth, and next on the Lawrence Journal. From 1873 to 1875 he edited the Junction City Union; then he returned to the Topeka Commonwealth, and about 1877 he began work on the Atchison Champion. He remained with the Champion through Colonel Martin's term as gover- nor, and in 1888 took charge of the Newton Republican. In 1890 he ac- cepted a position on the editorial staff of the Kansas City Star, which he held until his death. In 1877 he visited Europe, and his observations he published in book form, entitled "A Kansan Abroad," which went through two editions. Other books published by him were "Southern Letters," 26 Kansas State Historical Society. History of Kansas Newspapers. 27 "Southwestern Letters," and "Kansas Miscellanies." In the last year of his life he wrote a "History of Kansas" for use in the public schools, which is to-day a textbook. In 1883 he married Mrs. Carrie E. Anderson, of Topeka, who survives him. She was a delightful companion and help- mate, and their home life was most charming. A settler in Kansas of an ear}y day, and a woman of strong mind and cultivated literary tastes, she sympathized with him in all his ambitions and labors, adding strength to his life. We will add to the above what one of his friends said in loving remem- brance of him: "Now this man was without a college or even a high-school education, and never saw the inside of a "temple of learning" as a pupil except for a few winter terms when he attended a district school in an old unpainted building in the muddy lane of an Illinois prairie before the Civil War. There he mastered the "three R's" far enough to become a good reader, a manipulator of the hieroglyphics which in those days passed for writing, and over to fractions in 'rithmetic. Then he served from beginning to end of the Civil War, and held his rank — that of a private soldier- throughout. And here occurs an occasion to refer to another trait of his character. Prentis was offered a commission and was urged by his company and the colonel of his regiment to accept, but refused on the ground that he was "unworthy of the honor." He did compromise on "company reader" — an office unknown in any other part of the army, I believe, but which he filled with great acceptability, as I have been assured by several members of his company. Is it any wonder that a man so em- barrassed by modesty could not be elected to an office in Kansas, where every man and woman is a politician? After the war he came to Kansas and became a newspaper writer, and his career had begun. It was a rocky road and not always plain. Thousands of the brainiest young men of the country were seeking homes in the New West, and competition for place and power was sharp in Kansas. It was a case of the survival of the fittest. Out of the noble school of intellectual stalwarts thus added to the roll of honor of Kansas I select Noble L. Prentis as the greatest among them. Why? Because of what he did with what he had. Poor, almost penniless, friendless and alone, he came among strangers in a strange country, and, with no resources except the rich endowment of his brain and heart, made his way to the front in every requirement of good citizenship and every attainment of literary and scholastic honors, and maintained this standing to the end of his life. This is not my estimate alone, but will be concurred in by every one who knew him well." JOSIAH MILLER. JOSIAH MILLER was born in Chester district, South Carolina, No- vember 12, 1828. He was the son of Robert H. Miller and Susannah Allilley. The family were Scotch Presbyterians and pronounced op- ponents of slavery. They were badly mistreated. Josiah Miller was edu- cated at the University of Indiana, graduating in the class of 1851, and later from the law school at Poughkeepsie, N. Y. January 3, 1854, he was married to Agnes B. Carlisle, of Bloomington, Ind. In August, 1854, he came to Kansas and arranged to establish the Kansas Free State newspaper at Lawrence, and January 5, 1855, started the paper, the firm being Miller & Elliott. May 21, 1856, the paper was destroyed at the sacking of Lawrence. He was captured by proslavery forces, held as a 28 Kansas State Historical Society. -4> CAPTAIN HENRY KING. - History of Kansas Newspapers. 29 prisoner of war, and tried for treason against South Carolina. On his release he canvassed several of the northern states for Fremont. In 1857 he was elected probate judge of Douglas county, and in 1859 to the first state senate. He was postmaster at Lawrence in 1863, and resigned to become paymaster in the army. He served again in the legislature of 1867. It is claimed for him that he was the author of the motto upon the state seal, "Ad astro, per aspera." He was a wide-awake business man and accomplished much. He died at Lawrence, July 7, 1870, after having a leg amputated on account of some disease of the member. The Kansas Free State was the most conservative and most influential of the first territorial papers. It was also the most scholarly of those early publications. Its counsels were not always heeded, but it opened the way to freedom for Kansas. HENRY KING. ITf IS NOT the rule for men to follow the trade or profession to which they are best adapted and to achieve the dominant ambition of their lives. This inclination and result can in absolute truth be said of Capt. Henry King. He learned the printer's trade because the attraction was irresistible, and advanced from the composing room and hand press to the editorial desk because he must have foreseen the work he was best fitted to do. His taste and capacity were for writing, a natural force im- pelling him to reduce the workings of his mind to written form — and it was real writing, for he never used a stenographer or typewriter, and his "copy" was the perfection of chirography. As a young man he published and edited a weekly newspaper at his hoirie town, La Harpe, 111. This work was interrupted by a four years' service in the army in 1861-'65. Returning from the army, he engaged in a profitless mercantile business, and studied law, but all the time there was a ceaseless call to write, and he was soon working on the Daily Whig, at Quincy, 111., of which he became editor. Later, in 1869, he removed to Topeka, where in turn he edited the State Record, the Commonwealth and the Capital. From the latter post he went to the St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat, in 1883, first as contributing editor, and for the last eighteen years of his life as managing editor. Conducting a metropolitan newspaper gave him the broad field for which he had prepared himself, and in' which he gained a reputation that was conspicuous and a fame that was dear to him. He had made his influence felt in Illinois; his career in Kansas was a distinguished one; his success in Missouri was so notable that he was elected to be the life president of the Missouri State Editorial Association; and, crowning these achievements, he was chosen to be the president of the World's Press Parliament at the time of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. He was also the first editor of the Kansas ^Magazine, now a bright literary memory in Kansas. 30 Kansas State Historical Society. History of Kansas Newspapers. 31 When asked to prepare a biographical sketch recounting his labors and experiences, Captain King modestly replied : "Life generally uneventful ; simply a story of trying to do my best wherever placed." Henry King was born at Salem, Ohio, May 11, 1841, .and died at St. Louis, March 15, 1915. From 1869 to 1883 he was prominent in Kansas affairs. His interest in and love for the state continued up to the date of his death, and during the period of his activity he undoubtedly con- tributed as much to the history of Kansas and the West as any of his contemporaries. JOHN S. GILMORE. JOHN S. GILMORE was born in Rochester, N. Y., December 6, 1848. His parents were Robert G. and Helen Storrier Gilmore, and in 1857 he accompanied them and his brothers to Kansas territory. October 31 of that year the family landed at Wyandotte from a Missouri river steamboat (the William Campbell) and set out on their journey of 110 miles in an ox wagon to the claim which the father had taken in March of the same year. Their cabin on the frontier was in the Neosho river woods, two miles northeast of the new town of Emporia, and our subject lived in the county till the summer of 1865, when, on the 20th of July, he entered the office of Jacob Stotler's Emporia News as a printer's appren- tice. He afterward worked on the Burlington Patriot (S. S. Prouty), the Oswego Register, the Leavenworth Daily Commercial, the Osage Chronicle (M. M. Murdock), and the Emporia Tribune. Having, before his twenty-first birthday, through work as a typesetter and the investment of his wages in cattle, saved up over six hundred dollars, he felt an ambition to start a paper. Riding from Emporia to Wilson county,, on a Kaw Indian pony, in December, 1869, he completed negotiations for such an undertaking. He located at Guilford, where a few months later the press and other paraphernalia of the office — which he had selected with his own hands — were shipped the last week in March. The press was a Washington hand press on which he had "rolled" as an apprentice in the office of the Emporia News, and was taken to that town by P. B. Plumb in 1857, when he started the News. The first number of the Citizen was issued at Guilford, April 21, 1870, with John S. Gilmore as editor and proprietor. The young editor in the salutatory announced, expressive of his political convictions, that the Citizen was a Republican paper. After publishing it for six months and becoming convinced that Guilford had but slight prospects as a town, the paper was moved to Neodesha and publication resumed as the Neodesha Citizen, the first num- ber being issued November 18, 1870. Two years later the paper was sus- pended, and in May, 1873, Mr. Gilmore, wishing to locate at the county seat, purchased of Wm. A. Peffer the Fredonia Journal printing outfit, stopped the Journal, and revived his former paper as the Wilson County Citizen, the initial issue appearing on June 6. From the beginning the Citizen has never changed hands nor politics; the present proprietor has been its sole owner, and has absolutely controlled and directed its course 32 Kansas State Historical Society. History of Kansas Newspapers. 33 from the first. Through all political storms and mutations the policy of the paper has been uniform, definite and consistent, nor has its editor purposely or unwittingly temporized in any degree at any time or period with any of the numerous new parties and movements which have formed and flitted since he began. While a resident of Neodesha, and when the town was incorporated as a city of the third class, in March, 1871, Mr. Gilmore was elected a mem- ber of the first council. At the November election of the same year, and when lacking a month of being twenty-three years of age, he was elected register of deeds of Wilson county as the nominee of the Republican party, which office he held, two years, retiring without seeking a reelection. In 1876 and in 1878 he was elected representative to the state legislature from the fifty-fourth district as a Republican, having been unanimously renominated both times. January 26, 1880, he wag appointed postmaster at Fredonia, holding the office until December 20, 1884. In February, 1891, Gov. L. U. Humphrey, at his own instance, appointed Mr. Gilmore a member of the board of directors of the Kansas State Penitentiary to fill a two years' vacancy, and in February, 1899, Gov. W. E. Stanley appointed him to a vacancy of like duration on the same board, of which board he was chosen president. He was elected a member of the Republi- can state central committee in 1876, in 1888 and in 1898 from the seventh judicial district; has served as chairman of the Wilson county Republi- ' can central committee several times, has been a delegate to almost every Republican state convention since 1870, and his active identification with the Republican party since he became a voter has never abated. May 31, 1882, Mr. Gilmore was united in marriage at Lancaster, Ohio, with Miss Viola Butin, of Fredonia, who was born in Wapello county, Iowa, October 13, 1860. She died nine days after the marriage, in Wash- ington, D. C. February 27, 1890, Mr. Gilmore and Miss Florence Barton were married in Newark township, Wilson county. Mrs. Gilmore is a daughter of Capt. Wm. H. and Mary J. Barton, and was born in Ironton, Ohio, May 14, 1862. Two children have resulted from this union, namely, John, born April 26, 1891, and Mary, born July 1, 1894. JOHN A. MARTIN. JOHN A. MARTIN was born March 10, 1839, at Brownsville, Pa. He received a common-school and printing-office education. In October, 1857, he came to Kansas, locating at Atchison. In February, 1858, he purchased the Squatter Sovereign, and changed its name to Freedom's Champion. In 1858 he was nominated for the territorial legislature, but declined because he was not of legal age. He was a delegate to the Osawatomie convention in 1859, which organized the Republican party in Kansas. July 5, 1859, he was elected secretary of the Wyandotte con- stitutional convention ; he was secretary of the railroad convention which met at Topeka in October, 1860; and was elected to the state senate of 1861. October, 1861, he was mustered in as lieutenant colonel of the Eighth Kansas regiment, and a year later was promoted colonel, and —3 34 Kansas State Historical Society. History of Kansas Newspapers. 35 was mustered out November, 1864, with the brevet of brigadier general. He was provost marshal of Leavenworth in March, 1862, and of Nash- ville, Tenn., from December, 1862, to June, 1863; colonel Third brigade, First division, Twentieth army corps, September and October, 1863; colonel First brigade, Third division, Fourth corps, September-November, 1864. He was one of the incorporators of the State Historical Society, and its president in 1878. June 1, 1871, he married Miss Ida Challis. Colonel Martin served as mayor of Atchison in 1865, and from 1878 to 1880 was a member of the board of managers of the National Soldiers' Home. In 1884 and again in 1886 he was elected governor of Kansas. He died October 2, 1889. JOHN H. RICE. JOHN HOLT RICE, better known to the people of his day in Kansas as General Rice, was born in 1825, in Bedford county, Virginia. He came of an ancestry that had long been prominent in the civic and religious affairs of that historic commonwealth. He grew to manhood at Greenville, in East Tennessee, and was edu- cated at Tusculum College at that place. He emigrated to Cassville, Ga., and was admitted to the practice of law in 1845. At the same time he be- came interested in newspaper enterprises, and from that time to his death he was continuously connected with the printing and newspaper business either as editor or contributor. The beginning of the Civil War found him at the head of the Franklin Printing Company, of Atlanta, Ga., the largest printing house in the South. - A physical breakdown and the depression incident to the war ruined his business, and at the close of the war, having a large family of boys and girls, he came west, believing that it afforded a better oppor- tunity for rearing his family. He settled on a farm in Miami county, Kansas, but soon drifted back into the newspaper business as editor and proprietor of the Paola Re- publican. From this time on he was one of the factors in the growth of Kansas. Still suffering from the physical infirmity acquired by his breakdown of years before, he walked with a crutch, but with even that handicap he worked with wonderful energy and accomplished much in the promotion of the things in which he was interested. In 1879 he disposed of the Paola Republican and bought the Fort Scott Daily and Weekly Monitor. Taking this paper at a time when its for- tunes were at a very low ebb, he soon made it the strongest and most influential paper in southeastern Kansas and with a high rank among the representative papers of the state. He was a contemporary of F. P. Baker, D. R. Anthony, J. K. Hudson, Sol Miller, George W. Martin, Marsh Murdock and others of that time who formed a galaxy of really brilliant and able newspaper men. General Rice continued as the editor of the Monitor until about 1892. He spent a short time in promoting a railroad in Louisiana and Arkansas, 36 Kansas State Historical Society. •$>- M. M. MUK.DOCK. History of .Kansas Newspapers. 37 and again returned to the newspaper field as editor of the La Porte Chronicle, at La Porte, Tex. The atmosphere of Texas was too languid and sleepy for General Rice, and a few years later found him as the editor of the Sedalia Capital, of Sedalia, Mo. In 1898, having spent an even fifty years of almost uninterrupted work in the newspaper field, he resigned his control of this paper and announced his retirement from further active work. He returned to Fort Scott and did not again engage in active business. The Kansas City Journal on the occasion of his retirement from news- paper work feelingly referred to him as follows : "General John H. Rice announces his permanent retirement from journalism. Just forty years to a day after he began work he laid down his pen and left the field to younger men. His has been an active, inter- esting and useful professional life. He was one of the most vigorous and aggressive writers Kansas has known since the slavery days, and his body and brain were never idle ; even when suffering from severe physical ailments he continued to work unceasingly, giving to the younger gen- eration and to the world a most excellent example of patience, endurance and indomitable will power. His was a strict code of ethics in politics, morals and journalism. He lived up to the letter and spirit of that code and demanded that all others do the same. He was a gentleman of the old southern school; kindly, affectionate in his family, and admired even by his enemies for his uprightness and his fairness, even in the heat of contests. The Journal wishes him many years of quiet, happy life. He has earned them by his long and excellent work, and he can afford to rest upon honors worthily won." General Rice continued to reside in Fort Scott, contributing occasional articles to the newspapers, and following, with the same interest he had ever shown, the trend of public affairs. General Rice was united in marriage to Nancy Russell at Cassville, Ga., in 1847, and this union, blessed by ten children, continued a happy one until 1904, a period of fifty-seven years, when it was severed by the death of General Rice, Mrs. Rice surviving him a few years. M. M. MURDOCK. MARSHALL M. MURDOCK, founder of the Wichita Eagle, and for nearly forty years intimately identified with the history and progress of Sedgwick county, was a native of the Old Dominion, having been born in the Pierpbnt settlement in Virginia (now West Virginia) in 1837, the year Victoria ascended the throne of England. His earlier ancestors were Scotch, but his more immediate ancestors lived in the north of Ireland, where his grandfather, engaged in rebellion against the British government about the time of the Revolutionary War in America, and was compelled to flee to this country to save his life. He was a metal worker, and after settling in Virginia engaged in the iron-molding business. His son Thomas, a man of quick conscience, grew up in a settlement of slaveholders and developed a strong abhorrence for the institution of slavery. He married Catherine Pierpont, a relative of Governor Pierpont, and the subject of this sketch was their firstborn. 38 Kansas State Historical Society. Soon after his marriage Thomas Murdock removed with his family to Ohio, and for a time was engaged in business at Ironton. While living there Marshall Murdock attended the public schools and began his apprenticeship at the printer's trade. About this time the fight for a "free Kansas" was on, and the entire nation was interested in the outcome of the struggle. Thomas Murdock's business venture in Ironton had not been a successful one, and with his intense dislike for slavery, he determined to join the free-state forces in Kansas. Putting his worldly goods and his family in two covered wagons, he started for Kansas. He drove one of the teams, and Marshall, or "Marsh" as he was generally called, drove the other. After an over- land journey of several weeks they reached Topeka, near which town Thomas Murdock "took up" a farm. Over that farm John Brown often passed with slaves taken from their masters in Missouri and other southern states. When gold was discovered in the Pike's Peak region Marshall Mur- dock caught the "fever" and set out for "hills of golden promise." There is little doubt that he was the first to discover silver where the city of Leadville now stands, but in those days gold was the attraction, and his discovery was not turned to account until some years later. While he was in the gold fields the Civil War broke out, his father and two of his brothers enlisted, and Marshall returned to Kansas to take care of his mother and the younger members of the family. He found employment in a printing office at Lawrence, and was thus engaged when Quantrill made his raid on that city in August, 1863. Young Murdock saved his life by concealing himself in a well while the guerrillas were plundering the town. A few bullets were fired into the well, but he escaped unhurt. When the confederate General Price threatened to invade Kansas, in 1864, Marshall Murdock entered the service as lieutenant colonel of the Osage and Lyon county militia, which aided in repelling the invaders. In 1863 Colonel Murdock married Victoria Mayberry, of Douglas county, and soon after his marriage located at Burlingame, where he established the Chronicle. He served as state senator for Osage and Lyon counties. In 1872, when it became evident that the Santa Fe rail- road was to be extended through Wichita, Colonel Murdock removed his printing office to that city and founded the Eagle. Soon after locating there he was elected state senator for all that part of the state lying between Butler county and the Colorado line, defeating David L. Payne, who subsequently started the agitation that resulted in the opening of Oklahoma to settlement. Colonel Murdock served as postmaster of Wichita for a number of years prior to the inauguration of President Cleveland, in 1885. He was again appointed postmaster by President McKinley and held the office until the time of his death. Colonel Murdock died on January 2, 1908, and is buried on the hill overlooking the city which he helped to build, and which stands as a monument to his patriotism as a citizen, his courage and optimism as a journalist, and to his great influence in the public life of his day. One son, Victor, represented the Eighth Kansas district in the lower house of Congress from 1903 to 1915, and another son, Marcellus, is now con- ducting the Eagle along the lines established by his illustrious father.

LANE was born at West Middletown, Pa., January 27, 1828. He died at Kansas City, Kan., August 11, 1914. He was educated in the schools of his native town and taught school in Virginia. In 1852 he settled in Indiana, where he remained until 1857. In that year he came to Kansas and settled at Quindaro, in Wyandotte county. He was a Democrat of the old school, and as the county was Democratic in the early days, he was frequently elected to office. He was register of deeds of Wyandotte county and a member of the legislature. He was also postmaster of Kansas City, Kan., under the Cleveland administra- tion. Mr. Lane was a good newspaper man. In 1869 he started the Wyandotte Herald. It was the leading Democratic paper of Wyandotte county during its entire existence. Mr. Lane discontinued it December 30, 1910, because of his advanced age. Mr. Lane was married at Paris, Ind., in 1855, to Miss Sarah Jane Robinson. Three children were born of this union : Bush R., Mrs. Jessie R. Hall, and Mrs. Mina Fanin. Mr. Lane was a good citizen. He was interested in the construction of the Union Pacific railroad and other interests for the development of Kansas. PRESTON B. PLUMB. PRESTON B. PLUMB was born at Berkshire, Delaware county, Ohio, October 12, 1837. He died at Washington city, December 20, 1891. Plumb's parents were poor, and he was compelled to depend upon his own resources at an early age. When he was twelve years old he went to Kenyon College, at Gambier, Ohio, through which institution he worked his way, acquiring at the same time high efficiency as a printer. At the age of fifteen he bought the plant of an abandoned newspaper in Marys- ville, Ohio, with the money which his parents secured by mortgaging their home. He took his plant to Xenia, Ohio, where he founded the Xenia News, a newspaper which exists to this day. Plumb was much interested in the Kansas conflict, and early in 1856 Marcus J. Parrott visited Xenia and delivered an address on the condi- tions existing in Kansas. Plumb heard this address and determined to go at once to Kansas to do what he found possible on the free-state side. He arrived at Leavenworth on the Fourth of July, 1856. He made a tour of the settled portions of the territory and returned to Ohio to bring out men and munitions to aid the free-state people. On his trip back he passed through Iowa City and came into Kansas over the old Lane trail, which was the "underground j-ailroad" through Kansas. He arrived at Topeka on the 6th of September, 1856, bringing 250 Sharp's rifles, 250 Colt's re- volvers, 250 bowie knives, 20,000 rounds of ammunition for the rifles and revolvers, and one brass twelve-pounder cannon. These arms were de- livered to the free-state authorities. History of Kansas Newspapers. 41 42 Kansas State Historical Society. Plumb became foreman in the Herald of Freedom office late in 1856. The proprietor of the paper, together with a number of Lawrence people, laid out the town of Emporia early in 1857. Plumb was a member of this town company and entered into a contract to establish a newspaper at Emporia. The first issue of this paper, the Kanzas News, is dated the 6th of June, 1857. It was a six-column folio, modeled after the Xenia News, from which it got its name. Emporia was at that time an outpost on the Great Plains. The News was one of the ablest newspapers in Kansas. Plumb became the real founder of the town of Emporia. When the success of the town was assured he sold the paper and entered the practice of law, which he continued until the beginning of the Civil War. In 1862 he helped organize the Eleventh Kansas, and was made major. He served till the close of the war and was mustered out as a colonel of the regiment, when he returned to Emporia to live. In taking up life anew, Plumb resumed the practice of law, and engaged in various kinds of business — the purchase and sale of cattle, building of railroads, dealing in land — and in all of which he was very successful. He was always prominent in politics in Kansas, serving in the legislature two terms. On the 31st of January, 1877, he was elected United States senator from Kansas. In that office he distinguished him- self and became one of the foremost statesmen of his time. History of Kansas Newspapers. 43 GEORGE W.

XIII, "Kansas Historical Collections," for extended biography - 44 Kansas State Historical Society. ARTHUR CAPPER. ARTHUR CAPPER,* the owner of the Capper building and the Cap- per publications, was born in Garnett, Kan., July 14, 1865. He learned the practical side of the printing business during his school days. He came to Topeka in 1884 and secured work as a typesetter on the Daily Capital, of which he is now owner and publisher. Later he became a reporter on this paper and then city editor. He spent some time in New York in work on the New York Tribune, and in Washington as the Daily. Capital's Washington correspondent. Mr. Capper was married in 1892 to Florence Crawford, daughter of Samuel J. Crawford, third governor of Kansas. In 1893 Mr. Capper started in business for himself by buying the North Topeka Mail. Later he purchased and combined with the Mail a paper known as the Kansas Breeze, now known as the Farmers Mail and Breeze. The other Capper publications — Missouri Valley Farmer, Cap- per's Weekly, Nebraska Farm Journal, Missouri Ruralist, Oklahoma Farmer and the Household — were added from time to time. Mr. Capper has been president of the Kansas State Editorial Associa- tion, president of the Kansas State Good Roads Association, a member of the executive committee of the state and local Y. M. C. A., president of the board of regents of the Kansas State Agricultural College from 1909 to 1913, and a director for several years past of the Topeka Provident Asso- ciation for the relief of the poor. He is vice president for Kansas of the National Welfare League. The Goodfellows' Club of Topeka was or- ganized by Mr. Capper and has given timely assistance to hundreds of needy persons. One of its functions has been the operation of a free employment bureau for those in need of employment — a labor exchange between the employers and the workers, without cost -to either. Mr. Capper is president of the International Peace and Equity League, a member of the League to Enforce Peace, and the World's Court League, and an honorary member of the Kansas Woman's Christian Temperance Union. He is a member of the following secret organizations: Masons, Odd Fellows, A. O. U. W., National Americans, Modern Woodmen, Knights of Pythias, Fraternal Aid Association, Knights and Ladies of Security, United Commercial Travelers, Loyal Order of Moose, as well as member of the board of governors of Mooseheart, the home and school conducted at Mooseheart, 111., by the Moose lodge. In November, 1914, Mr. Capper was chosen governor of Kansas, being the first native-born Kansan to attain that office. ' See frontispiece for portrait. History op Kansas Newspapers. 45 ROBERT G. ELLIOTT. ROBERT GASTON ELLIOTT was born in Union county, Indiana, July 23, 1828, of South Carolina parentage, who left the South be- cause of religious antipathy to slavery. He was educated in the common schools of Indiana and at the Miami University of that state, graduating in 1850. It was at this institution that he met Josiah Miller, a native of South Carolina. These two young men formed a partnership to publish a paper in Kansas in the interest of freedom. They moved to Lawrence, Kan., and established the Kansas Free State, which was one of the first papers, if not the very first, established by the antislavery people in Kansas. It was perhaps the ablest paper published in Kansas territorial times. It was conservative but uncompromising. It was destroyed by the border ruffians when Lawrence was sacked, May 21, 1856. The paper was not revived. The files of the Kansas Free State in the Kansas State Historical Society are consulted more frequently than any other early publication of the state. It was edited with great ability and had a broader influence than any other of the early publications. Mr. Elliott is still living at Lawrence, Kan., honored by all who know him. He has lived to see Kansas grow into a great and influential state, and has the satisfaction of knowing that he contributed largely to its history, its growth and prosperity. WILLIAM R. SMITH. WILLIAM R. SMITH, state printer, has been actively identified with Kansas newspaperdom for the past quarter of a century. He is a native Kansan, having been born at Lecompton, the old territorial capital, March 21, 1872. There he grew to manhood, and at the age of eighteen made his first newspaper venture by starting the Lecompton Sun. Evi- dently the Swn "filled a long-felt want," as it is still illuminating readers in its orbit on matters of news interest. Mr. Smith's first act of public importance on attaining his majority was to qualify as postmaster of Lecompton, his appointment to that position having been confirmed a few days before he was of age. At the city election a few weeks later he was elected mayor of the town, in which capacity he served two terms. On completing his term as postmaster Mr. Smith went to Topeka to take the foremanship of the Mail and Breeze office, which position he held for two years, when he purchased the Manhattan Republic. He published this paper for more than two years, later selling it and going to Lawrence, where he published the Fraternal Aid for a year. At the close of the year he effected a consolidation of the Plaindealer and the Eagle at Gar- nett, and for five years he edited the consolidated paper. During his residence in Garnett Mr. Smith served two years as county printer, an elective office in Anderson county. From Garnett he went to Ottawa, where he was associated with H. J. Allen and A. L. Milleron the Evening 46 Kansas State Historical Society. -«. WILLIAM R. SMITH, State Printer, Topeka, Kansas. -4> History of Kansas Newspapers. 47 Herald for a year. His next field was at Fort Scott, where he published the Daily Republican for five years. In 1910 he was appointed census supervisor of the second congressional district. Early in 1911 he sold the Republican and bought the Columbus Daily and Weekly Advocate, which he published until the fall of 1915, when the duties of the office of state printer, to which he had been elected by a handsome majority in 1914, made it advisable for him to sell the property. As state printer Mr. Smith is giving the state the- benefit of his twenty-five years' experience as printer and publisher, and is doing much to demonstrate the wisdom of the state operating its own print shop. During his term state publi- cation of school books, inaugurated shortly before he assumed the duties of the office, is being carried on in a manner that is removing much of the criticism of the plan. CHARLES F. SCOTT. CHARLES FREDERICK SCOTT was born on a farm in Allen county, September 7, I860. His father was Dr. John W. Scott, who came to Kansas in 1857 and was a conspicuous figure in the free-state ranks, being speaker pro tern, of the first state legislature, and a member, either in the house or senate, of several subsequent legislatures. He served through the war as surgeon of the Tenth Kansas, was president of the company that laid out the town of Iola, was a director in the L. L. & G. Railroad (now the Southern Kansas branch of the Santa Fe) , was a regent of the State University, and for many years active and in- fluential in the business and political affairs of the state. Charles F. Scott was educated at the State University, graduating in 1881, later receiving from that institution the degree of M. S., and from the State Agricultural College the degree of LL. D. He was regent of the State University for ten years, and was chairman of the first board of alumni visitors. In 1892 he was one of fifteen Republicans elected to the state senate. In 1900 he was elected congressman-at-large, and twice reelected to that position. Upon the redistricting of the state he became a representative in Congress from the second district, and was reelected, serving in all ten years in the national house of representatives, during the last four years of which time he was chairman of the committee on agriculture. During his service in Congress he was a member of congressional parties that at different times visited the Philippines, Hawaii, Porto Rico and Panama, and in 1911, after the conclusion of his service in Congress, he was sent as one of the five delegates from the United States to the International Institute of Agriculture which met at Rome. In 1915, upon the request of the committee in charge of the donations, he went to Belgium to over- see the distribution of the cargo of food and clothing that had< been con- tributed by the people of Kansas for the relief of the Belgians, spending some time in the war zone. In 1913 Mr. Scott engaged in joint debate with Mr. Henry J. Allen, of the Wichita Beacon, under the direction of the Redpath-Horner Chautauqua Bureau, dates being filled in six differ- 48 Kansas State Historical Society. -<$> CHARLES F. SCOTT, Iola, Kansas. ♦ History of Kansas Newspapers. 49 ent states. In 1915 he spent some weeks on the lecture platform in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, under direction of the Redpath- Brockway Chautauqua Bureau, and he is filling a similar engagement this summer with the Redpath-Vawter Chautauqua in Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota. Besides these "continuous performances," Mr. Scott has made occasional speeches on many topics in many states," and for twenty years has participated in political campaigns in this and other states. ' During the campaign of 1912 he was in charge of the publicity bureau at Republican national headquarters in Chicago, and he was one of the delegates-at-large to the late Republican national conven- tion, being chosen to that office by the largest vote cast for any of the candidates before the state convention. At different times Mr. Scott has been president of the Kansas State Editorial Association, of the Kansas Day Club, and of various other organizations, and is at present president of the Kansas State Historical Society. He is a member of the board of trustees of Emporia College, a member of the state Y. M. C. A. board, president of the Y. M. C. A. at Iola, an elder in the Presbyterian church, and chairman of the board of trustees of Neosho presbytery. Mr. Scott has been owner and editor of the Iola Register since October, 1882. His family consists of his wife and four children. F. L. VANDEGRIFT. FREDERICK L. VANDEGRIFT began his newspaper career in Atchison, where for short periods he worked on the several local dailies. While John A. Martin, the owner of the Champion, was governor of Kansas, Mr. Vandegrift, although a Democrat, and the paper Re- publican, was its city editor. Noble L. Prentis was editor, Governor Mar- tin contributing occasionally, and by the combined efforts of the three the paper was of greater popular interest than ever before or since. It was quoted widespread in the state, and especially was of "great influence north of the Kaw and Smoky Hill rivers. Afterward Mr. Vandegrift and Mr. Prentis were associated in newspaper work again; this time on the Kansas City Star, beginning in the autumn of 1891. In 1900 Mr. Prentis died, and Mr. Vandegrift was selected to deliver an address in eulogy of his friend before the Knife and Fork Club, of which he (Mr. Prentis) had been one of the founders. In the winter of 1893-'94 Mr. Vandegrift became Kansas correspondent of the Star, continuing in that capacity until the spring of 1905. During this period he did his best newspaper work, achieving distinction by his reports of legislatures and state conventions and his weekly Sunday re- views of political events. He particularly had the instinct for political news. His acquaintance in the state was so widespread, and his knowl- edge of men and motives so keen, that instinctively he knew the logic of the news, and his estimates and conclusions rarely if ever missed the truth. Added to this, a careful education in his youth had prepared him —4 50 Kansas State Historical Society. F. L. VANDEGRIFT, Kansas. -4> History of Kansas Newspapers. 51 for the work, and, possessing imagination and wit, he was able to turn out reports and letters which never lacked interest. He never betrayed a confidence, and so was admitted freely to the secrets of all political parties. He never lied, never evaded, and thereby his written word was worth full weight. For some years he wrote the "Kansas Notes" of the Star, succeeding the late Alexander Butts, who initiated that department in the paper. Mr. Vandegrift made these paragraphs especially interest- ing, because he did not join a mutual admiration society. In the course of his newspaper work Mr. Vandegrift has recorded much of the history and legend of Kansas. One of his contributions of this character is a compendium filling a page of the Star on the occasion of the state's fiftieth anniversary. Mr. Vandegrift's early education was received from a famous Latin school for boys at Keokuk, Iowa. He afterward graduated from Cin- cinnati College, whose seat is in the county of which he is a native. At present Mr. Vandegrift is the editor of a colonization magazine pub- lished by the Santa Fe Railway, but he lives in the hope of returning to the more strenuous duties of a daily newspaper, for which he peculiarly is fitted. His home is in Kansas City, Mo., but his heart is in Kansas. Mf . Vandegrift for some years has been a director of the Kansas State Historical Society. W. Y. MORGAN. WILLIAM Y. MORGAN, editor of the Hutchinson News, director of the State Exchange Bank, and one of the leading newspaper men of Kansas, was born at Cincinnati, Ohio, April 6, 1866, a son of William A. and Minnie (Yoast) Morgan. He received his early education in the public schools of Cottonwood Falls, as he was a small child when his parents located in their western' home. He entered the State University at Lawrence, where he took special courses that would prepare him for journalism, the profession he had chosen for his life work. While still a boy he had learned to set type in his father's office, and the practical knowledge thus gained gave him a better idea of the instruction he desired at college. He graduated with the class of 1885, and immediately began to do local work on a paper in Lawrence; then purchased a newspaper which he edited and published at Strong City for four years, but sold it to purchase the Emporia Daily Gazette. He built up this paper, made it a first-class publication, and continued as its editor until 1895, when he sold out to William Allen White and removed to Hutchinson. There he organized the News company, of which he is president and the principal stockholder, and bought the News, which now has the largest circulation of any paper in central Kansas. Mr. Morgan is a great worker and a capable manager. Few cities the size of Hutchinson can boast of a paper containing as much general news as the one of which he has charge. He has always been a stanch supporter of the Republican party, and was only twenty when made secretary of the Douglas county convention, and in whatever community he has lived he has been- honored with the 52 Kansas State Historical Society. " W. Y. MORGAN, Hutchinson, Kansas. History of Kansas Newspapers. 53 position of secretary or chairman of the Republican central committee. In 1899 he was elected state printer by the legislature, and served in that capacity until 1903, when he was elected to represent Reno county in the lower house of the legislature, serving until 1910, and during two terms was chairman of the committee on railroads. He is a member of the Phi Gamma Delta college fraternity, and has served as one of the board of regents of the Stata University. He is an active member of the Sons of Veterans, and served as state commander in 1894. Fraternally he is associated with the Masons, the Knights of Pythias, the Ancient Order of United Workmen, Modern Woodmen of America, and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. On November 20, 1891, Mr. Morgan married Colie, a daughter of Wit Adair, of Strong City. Mr. Morgan is well known in political, legisla- tive and business circles of the state, and has gained a place in the front rank of the newspaper fraternity, where his ability as a writer is fully recognized by the profession. While abroad some time ago Mr. Morgan wrote for the News a series of letters, which have since been published in book form under the name of "A Journal of a Jayhawker" and "A Jay- hawker in Europe." A born leader, it is but natural that Mr. Morgan has taken the lead in movements for good in his city, county and state, and he stands atmong the representative men of central Kansas. CHARLES S. GLEED. CHARLES SUMNER GLEED was born in Vermont in 1856, and came to Lawrence in 1866 with his mother, Mrs. Thomas Gleed, and his brother, James Willis Gleed. His first definite employment was in connection with newspapers. The possession of a boy's printing plant gave him his first knowledge of the rudiments of the typographical art. In the ten years prior to 1878, for the purpose of earning a living and an education (in high school and the University of Kansas), he did many kinds of newspaper work for the Lawrence Republican and its successor, the Lajvrence Journal; the Lawrence Tribune, the Kansas Spirit, the Kansas Collegiate, the Kansas City Journal, the Chicago Tribune and the New York Herald. For the Lawrence Journal he was carrier, mailing clerk, shipping clerk, cashier, reporter, legislative correspondent, city editor, managing edjtor and editorial writer. For the Tribune he was compositor, mailing clerk and countingroom assistant. For the Kansas Spirit he was compositor and writer. For the Kansas City Journal he was news correspondent, subscription and advertising agent and editorial writer. For the Chicago Tribune he was news correspondent and editorial writer on western subjects. For the New York Herald he reported many important events of national interest. His work in Lawrence brought him in close personal relations with T. Dwight Thacher, Noble L. Prentis and Frederick J. V. Skiff, of the Journal; the Rev. I. S. Kalloch, of the Spirit; John Speer, of the Tribune; and ex-Senator Edmund G. Ross and Henry C. Burnett, of the Standard. He also formed the acquaintance of 54 Kansas State Historical Society. CHARLES S. GLEED, Topeka, Kansas. -<$> History op Kansas Newspapers. 55 practically all the best-known editors of Kansas. In 1878 Mr. Gleed was employed to look after the newspaper relations of the Kansas Pacific Rail- way, with headquarters in Kansas City. After the purchase of the Kan- sas Pacific by the Union Pacific he did the same work in Omaha. In 1880 he took charge of the publicity work of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe in Topeka. For this company he established and edited the Santa Fe Trail, a monthly paper devoted to advertising the commercial and in- dustrial possibilities and the tourist attractions of the states tributary to the Santa Fe lines. In this work he gained an almost intimate acquaint- ance with a very large proportion of the newspapers and the newspaper men in the southwest quarter of the United States. In 1882, having carried his law studies (begun in Lawrence in the first class of the Uni- versity law school) to the necessary point, he was admitted to the bar, and entered the law department of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe company as chief clerk to General Solicitor George R. Peck. In 1884 he resigned from the railway service to become editor of the Denver Daily Tribune as successor to Eugene Field. He had brought about the sale of the paper to Mr. T. C. Henry, who in turn induced him to become editor of the paper. In about six months the Tribune and the Republican were consolidated under the control of Senator Hill, and Mr. Gleed and his brother (who had just completed his law studies in the law school of Columbia University, New York) opened their law office in Topeka, where they have continued in business ever since. Naturally, Mr. Gleed had many clients among newspaper men. One of these was Major J. K. Hudson, of the Topeka Capital, and another was Frank P. MacLennan, of the Topeka Journal, to whom Mr. Gleed and his brother rendered varied services, legal and financial. Mr. Gleed was counsel for Mr. MacLennan in his purchase of the State Journal, and for a considerable time carried the property in his own name. In 1896 Mr. Gleed, having been the attorney in many matters for the Kansas City Journal, had an opportunity to purchase the same from its founder, the late Colonel Robert T. Van Horn, and his then associate, Mr. William A- Bunker. For the twenty years between June, 1896, and June, 1916, Mr. Gleed, president, and Mr. Hal Gaylord, secretary and manager, owned and operated the Kansas City Journal company and its several publications. This paper was founded by Colonel Van Horn in 1854, and is accord- ingly the oldest paper in Kansas City and the foremost Republican paper in western Missouri. While throughout his control of the Kansas City Journal Mr. Gleed was an intensely busy lawyer in connection with numer- ous railroad, telephone, banking and manufacturing corporations, he never failed to closely direct the editorial policy of the Journal, and did for it a great amount of actual writing. Probably no twenty years in the life of any paper in the United States will show a better grade of editorial opinion than can be found in the pages of the Journal in the twenty years referred to. 56 Kansas State Historical Society. -$> T.

His father helped to lay out the town of Con- cordia, and was the first county clerk of Cloud county. He was a lawyer, a banker, and at one time owned the Republican-Expositor ; so, in a way, his son inherited the ''spell" of printer's ink. Albert T. Reid got his early newspaper training on the Kansas City Star. He was with the Chicago Record for a few months, and went from there to New York, with the Herald. He was on the art staff of Judge, and at the same time was drawing for other leading magazines. Mr. Reid was married in Topeka, October 19, 1902, to Miss Vera Low, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Low. In 1905 Mr. Reid started the Leavenworth Daily Post, which he still controls. In March, 1908, the company of which he is president pur- chased the Farmers Advocate, Topeka, and in December of that year this company purchased the Kansas Farmer and combined the two papers, retaining the name of Kansas Farmer. Mr. Reid has always taken great interest in the agricultural interests of Kansas. He inaugurated and organized the plan which stopped the tremendous shipments of live stock from the Kansas farms to market, following the loss of corn crops and the dry season two years ago. He inaugurated and organized the Kansas Farmer Seed Wheat Club, which raised money to buy seed wheat for the farmers of eight western counties which had suffered a series of bad seasons. This movement, according to State Bank Commissioner Benson, produced over $1,250,000 worth of wheat for the markets of 1914. He planned and is carrying out the Kansas Farmer Dairy Club — a movement in which the banks of Kansas are cooperating in starting boys and girls into the profitable business of dairy farming. This plan has been most highly indorsed by the state bank commissioner, the State Banking Association, the people at the Agricultural College, Secretary J. C. Mohler, and officials from the Agri- cultural Department of Washington. He is president of the Standard Farm-paper Association ; member of the board of trustees for the Topeka public library; president of the Kansas Commission to the Panama- Pacific International Exposition. 60 Kansas State Historical Society. -«.

His early life was spent on a farm, and for three years he worked in a country store. He secured a good common and high- school education. He has been a student, and in recognition of his attain- ments, Baker University conferred upon him the degree of master of arts. Mr. Sessions came to Kansas City, Kan., at the age of twenty, and ob- tained employment with the Kansas City Times the very first day he was there. After five years with the Times he went to the Kansas City Journal, and had charge of the Kansas City (Kan.) bureau of the paper for three years only, when he was promoted to the most important out- side staff position, coming to Topeka as general state correspondent at the capital in 1896. From that time until his election as secretary of state, in 1910, he held that position with the Journal, except two years when he was staff correspondent at Washington during the great news era of the Roosevelt administration. He was appointed private secre- tary to Governor Hoch, which position he resigned to go to Washington. He was not satisfied with his position at Washington, and returned to Kansas. He was assigned his old position at Topeka, where he now resides with his Kansas-born wife and Kansas-born son. At the end of his second term as secretary of state he was appointed private secretary to Governor Capper, which position he still holds. , Mr. Sessions is recognized as one of the best newspaper men in Kansas, and is still the correspondent of the Kansas City Journal. As secretary of state Mr. Sessions made a fine record. He kept the bills for legislative supplies lower than they had been for a generation. He published the Session Laws earlier than they had ever been published; he organized the charter department of the state, and compelled many big corpora- tions, operating in the state without authority, to take out state licenses and come under the state law. He helped to invest $2,000,000 in first- class bonds for the state school fund. Mr. Sessions is still a young man and has a bright future in Kansas. 62 Kansas State Historical Society. CHARLES H.

WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE was born at Emporia, Kan., February 10, 1868. He was reared in Butler county, where his father moved iat an early day. He was educated in the El Dorado schools and at the Kansas University. He learned the printer's trade in' the office of T. P. Fulton, of the El Dorado Republican. In 1891 he went to Kansas City, Mo. He did editorial work on the Kansas City Journal. For a time he was employed on the Kansas City Star. In 1895 he bought the Em- poria Gazette, which paper he has owned, edited and managed to the present time. The article which brought him his first wide notice was an editorial, "What 's the Matter with Kansas?" written in 1896. It was quoted : all over the United States. When questioned on this subject once he made the following explanation: "I accidentally became notorious through writing a fool editorial which I left on the hook as 'time copy' to keep the printers going while I went on a short visit to my sick wife, who was in Colorado." The 'truth of the matter is that the editorial was of high order, and brought him deserved prominence. It was the beginning of a literary career any author should be proud of, and Mr. White is better known away from home as an author than as a newspaper man. Some of his books are: "The Court of Boyville," published in 1899; "Stratagems and Spoils," 1901; "In Our Town," 1906; "A Certain Rich Man," 1909; "The Old Order Changeth," 1910. Mr. White is a contributor to the best maga- zines and papers. JOHN MAC DONALD. JOHN MAC DONALD was born at Linshader, on the western coast of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Scotland, on February 6, 1843. When he was a child his parents moved to Gairloch, in the west of Ross-shire, situated on an inlet of the Atlantic. It was in this picturesque country that MacDonald received his elementary and high-school education, for in those days, as in these days, instruction in the higher studies was given in the parish schools. In 1862 young MacDonald went to London to seek his fortune, and not finding it, crossed the Atlantic in 1866 to New York. Two years later he went westward, "not knowing whither he went," but bound to find some haven. He found it in 1870, in Shawnee county, on or near the Wakarusa. Shortly afterward he began to teach, and he has been connected with the public schools in some way until now. He served as superintendent of the Shawnee county schools from 1877 to 1881 and from 1883 to 1889. In December, 1889, he bought the Western School Journal, and he is still its owner and editor. Mr. MacDonald was a member of the Kansas State Board of Education from April, 1909, to April, 1915. He was president of the Kansas State Teachers' Association in 1898. He is now, and has been History of Kansas Newspapers. 67 WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE, Emporia, Kansas. 68 Kansas State Historical Society. a number of years, president of the Educational Press Association of America, and he was many years a member of the board of directors of the National Education Association. He has been a member of the Kan- sas State Teachers' Association since the early seventies, and of the National Association has been a life member since 1886. There are two national meetings — the National Educational Association in July, and the Department of Superintendence in February or March. Mr. MacDonald seldom misses a meeting. The following shows his record of attendance since 1886: 1886, Topeka; 1887, Chicago; 1890, St. Paul; 1891, Toronto, Canada; 1892, Saratoga Springs, N. Y.; 1894, Asbury Park, N. J.; 1895, Denver; 1896, Buffalo, N. Y.; 1897, Milwaukee; 1898, Washington, D. C; 1899, Los Angeles; 1900, Charleston, S. C; 1901, Detroit, Mich.; 1902, Minneapolis, Minn.; 1903, Boston; 1904, St. Louis; 1905, Asbury Park and Ocean Grove, N. J.,; 1907, Los Angeles; 1908, Cleveland, Ohio; 1909, Denver; 1910, Boston; 1911, San Francisco; 1912, Chicago; 1913, Salt Lake City; 1914, St. Paul, Minn.; total, twenty-five meetings. Of meetings of the Department of Superintendence, always held in February or March, the editor of the Journal attended at Chicago in 1887; New York, 1890; Philadelphia, 1891; Brooklyn, N. Y., 1892; Boston, 1893; Cleveland, 1895; Jacksonville, Fla., 1896; Indianapolis, 1897; Chat- tanooga, Tenn., 1898; Columbus, Ohio, 1899; Chicago, 1900; Chicago, 1901; Chicago, 1902; Cincinnati, 1903; Atlanta, Ga., 1904; Milwaukee, Wis., 1905; Louisville, Ky., 1906; Chicago, 1907; Washington, D.

Mr. MacDonald' is not a graduate of any college, but he has the equivalent of a college education, acquired at institutes which were open in the evenings for the benefit of persons who had to earn their living during the day. The teachers and instruction were of the best. For instance, in London, English was taught to MacDonald by Dr. F. J. Furnivall, one of the greatest Shakesperian scholars of his time or of any period, and he too had the rare privilege of hearing lectures by John Ruskin and other eminent men in letters and art. WILLIAM I>. GREASON. WILLIAM DICKSON GREASON, editor, publisher and proprietor of the. Miami Republican, Paola, Kan., was born in Plainfield, Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, August 20, 1859, the son of Thomas and Mary J. Greason. He came pf Scotch-Irish stock on the paternal side, and of Pennsylvania Dutch on the maternal side. His father was a pronounced abolitionist and was active in the opera'tion of what was known as the "Underground Railroad," the business of which was to assist escaping slaves from the South to reach Canada. The father was too old for service during the War of the Rebellion, but his two eldest sons, John H. and James D., served in Pennsylvania regiments, and the Cumberland valley of Pennsylvania, where the Greasons lived, was the History of Kansas Newspapers. 69 JOHN MAC DONALD.

In April, 1870, Thomas Greason and family came to Kansas, locating in Paola, where he died in the fall of 1872, leaving a large family and the heritage of a good name and the golden opportunities which residence in Kansas has always presented, whether in her pioneer days or in the opulence of her mature years. William D. acquired what little schooling he had in the Paola schools, and in June, 1875, became an apprentice in the Miami Republican office, then owned by two of his brothers, Owen H. and Thomas 0. Greason, and General John H. Rice. Four of his brothers were printers, James D., late of the Atwood Citizen, and Charles T. being the other two, besides those above mentioned. In 1878 William D. bought a one-third interest in the Western Spirit office in Paola, which he sold in 1881, and in 1882 bought a half interest in the Miami Republican, the other half then being owned by Leslie J. Perry, one of the most widely known and capable newspaper men of the Kansas of that period, and one of the most forceful and original writers the state has ever had. August 14, 1885, Mr. Perry sold his interest to Mr. Greason, who has since been the sole owner, editor and publisher. Mr. preason served two terms as postmaster of Paola, from November, 1889, to April, 1894, and from July, 1898, to April, 1903. His newspaper is one of the oldest in Kansas, having been founded in 1866. EDEARDO CAFFARO. EDEARDO CAFFARO, proprietor and editor of II Lavoratore Itali- ano, an Italian weekly newspaper published in Pittsburg, Kan., was born in Trausella, Italy, the 17th of June, 1878. Trausella is a small town in northern Italy, close to the France and Switzerland boundary. He re- ceived his elementary education at Trausella, graduated from the high school at Ivrea, and took, the degree of the technical institute in Turin in 1898. In the same year he entered the , University of Turin, where he studied engineering and mathematics until 1901. He landed in the United States (New York) in 1904, and made his home in Colorado until 1905, when he came to Pittsburg, Kan., where he has been ever since. Just previous to his coming to Pittsburg he was instrumental in the , transfer of II Lavoratore Italiano from Trinidad, Colo., to Pittsburg, Kan. Under his management II Lavoratore Italiano has made great progress, and it is to-day one of the largest publications Of any weekly Italian newspaper in the United States, which gives itself entirely to the better- ment of the laboring class. // Lavoratore Italiano belongs to no political class, and never from its beginning took part'either for or against any one of the political parties; always ready in a fearless and conscientious way to stand for that which is just, and for the advancement and welfare of what its name implies the Italian laborer— in this great land of America. — By Dr. U.

THE Weekly Kansas Chief, published at Troy, is owned and edited by H. J. Calnan. Mr. Calnan was born at Stoneham, Mass., in 1857, the same year the Chief was born in Kansas. Mr. Calnan moved with his parents to Moulton, Iowa, when a boy, and served four years as an apprentice in the office of the Moulton Independent. After becoming a printer he worked in different offices. He engaged in railroading, serving as a fireman on the Burlington route, was promoted to the position of locomotive engineer, and in this capacity worked for several of the rail- road systems in the West. His last railroading was in Mexico, where he ran an engine on the Mexican National out of San Luis Potosi. Upon his return to this country he took up the printing business again, and owned and edited several newspapers. He bought the Chief from Mrs. Miller, widow of the famous pioneer editor, Sol Miller, twelve years ago. The politics of the Chief have always been straight Republican. It is the oldest paper in the state. Other papers were started before it was founded, but they were later merged with other papers or discontinued. Doniphan county, in the early days, was a veritable newspaper grave- yard. Many papers were started during the territorial days. Every boom town had a boom newspaper. Many of the towns were later aban- doned, and all the newspapers expired with the exception of the Chief. Mr. Miller found it hard at times to keep his paper going, but he was a game old warrior and stayed on in spite of hard times and opposition, and lived to see his newspaper enjoying permanent prosperity and a wide reputation. Mr. Calnan's family consists of his wife and one son, Charles. Charles is now attending high school, and when he graduates from that institu- tion will attend the Kansas University at Lawrence. His father hopes that his son will succeed to the management of the Chief, and is edu- cating him in a manner to fit him for the position. GEORGE W. MARBLE. GEORGE WATSON MARBLE was born in Scott township, Bourbon county, a mile south of Fort Scott, in 1870; went to work on the Fort Scott Tribune on September 1, 1885, and learned the trade on that paper under J. B. Chapman, the publisher. In May, 1891, he took a posi- tion as reporter on the Tribune, and a year later became associated with George W. Martin, formerly of the firm of Martin & Chapman, publishers of the paper, as one of the proprietors, continuing, however, his work as reporter until 1902, when he bought Mr. Martin's interest and became manager, with R. B. Barr as a partner in the business. In 1904 the Tribune took over the old Fort Scott Monitor, and the legal designation of the paper became The Fort Scott Tribune and the Fort Scott Monitor and it has since been published under that heading. The paper was History of Kansas Newspapers. <8> \ /£■ **> I * % ft 4^1 ■ - ,^/^fl Wl ■ Jm f l -;JM KrfM GEORGE W.

Upon assuming control of the paper, in 1902, Mr. Marble made it independent in politics, with Democratic leanings, and it subsequently merged into a distinctly nonpartisan newspaper, support- ing Republicans or Democrats according as their individual qualifications appealed to the editor. The paper represents the consolidation of the old Fort Scott Monitor, established in 1862, the Fort Scott Banner and the Fort Scott News. J. F. JARRELL. JF. JARRELL is a native Kansan; his' birthplace, a farm near . Lancaster, Atchison county, where his parents settled in 1855. He r was born September 19, 1866. His father was Sanford Jarrell, a school teacher, farmer and plainsman before the Civil War; a veteran of that conflict, servipg in company E, Second Kansas cavalry; later a farmer and stockman. His mother was Annie Fletcher, who, as a pioneer girl, organized the first Sunday school in her neighborhood, holding the sessions under a tree. His schooling consisted of a few terms in rural districts, and at the age of sixteen he left the farm with the intention of becoming a locomotive engineer. He got a job firing a threshing-machine engine, which blew up, scaring him out of his ambition in that direction. For two years he experimented with various "walks of life" — herded cattle, sold books, sold pianos and organs, trucked freight, taught singing- school, managed a theatrical company, kicked a job press, and set type. On January 1, 1884, he was given his first assignment as a newspaper re- porter, on the Atchison Patriot. From then on for twenty-six years he was actively engaged in reporter ial and editorial work on the Atchison Patriot, Atchison Champion, Atchison Globe, Kansas City Times, Topeka Capital and Holton Signal, in the order named. He owned the Holton Signal for five years, and for a short time in 1903 was a third owner of the Atchison Globe, his partners being J. E. Rank and Ralph Tennal. That was when E. W. Howe went to Kansas City to run the Daily Mail. Mr. Howe did not like the Kansas City venture, so he returned to Atchison and bought the Globe back. Mr. Jarrell's work on the Topeka and Kansas City papers mainly was as a staff correspondent, handling political and legislative news and matters having to do with the settlement and develop- ment of western Kansas and of Oklahoma. In 1910 he was appointed publicity agent of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company, with headquarters in Topeka, which position he holds to date. In 1895 Mr. Jarrell married Myra Williams, of Topeka, daughter of the late A. L. Williams, a former attorney-general of Kansas. Mrs. Jarrell is also a writer. She contributes to newspapers and magazines, and has three books, a play and an opera to her credit. There are four children in the family — two already in the writing game, the others training for it. History of Kansas Newspapers. 77 -4> J. F.

ANTHONY, Jr. DANIEL READ ANTHONY, Jr., lawyer, journalist, and member of Congress from the first district of Kansas, was born at Leaven- worth, August 22, 1870, a son of Col. Daniel R. and Annie (Osborn) Anthony. Mr. Anthony has inherited many of the strong characteristics of his father, and is recognized as a journalist of marked ability. He was educated in the public schools of his' native city, and the Michigan Military Academy, Orchard Lake, Mich., and then entered the law department of the University of Michigan, where he graduated with the degree of LL. B. in 1891, and was admitted to the bar. On his return to Leavenworth he became connected with the Leavenworth Times, and soon assumed the management of the paper. When Colonel Anthony died, in November, 1904, Mr. Anthony assumed entire control of the Times. On March 29, 1907, he was unanimously nominated for Congress by tne Republicans of the first district, and was elected to the Sixtieth Congress to fill a vacancy caused by the election of Charles Curtis to be United States senator, and was reelected to the Sixty-first Congress, receiving 27,796 votes to 19,842 for F. M. Pearl, the Democratic candidate, and 650 for J. F. Willetts, who ran on the Socialist ticket. In 1910 he again became a candidate for the nomination, making his campaign as a "regular" Republican against T. A. McNeal, the "Progressive'' candidate. In the primary election he was successful by a substantial majority, and later at the November election he defeated J. W. Chapman, the "Independent Democratic" candidate, by an overwhelming majority, being thus again returned to Congress with the unqualified indorsement of his constituents. . His career as a representa- tive in Congress has been consistent, his political methods clean, and his endeavor always has been to procure the best legislative results for the district he represents. He is one of the leading newspaper men of Kansas and of the day, and his paper advocates every policy for the moral and material uplift of the people of Kansas and the nation. In June, 1897, Mr. Anthony married Bessie Havens, the daughter of Paul Havens, of Leaven- worth. They have two children, Eleanor and Daniel. 80 Kansas State Historical Society. 0. W. LITTLE. OLCOTT W. LITTLE, one of the able representatives of the Kansas press, is a native Kansan, born in Wabaunsee county, January 31, 1867, and is descended from Scotch-Irish ancestry, being the son of William E. and Harriett Z. (Adams) Little. The Little family came to America from Scotland at a very early day and located in New England, and a number of this branch of the Little family served in the Revolution- ary army that was recruited in Vermont. Olcott W. Little was reared on the homestead where he first saw the light of day. He led the normal life of a country boy, grew up strong and self-reliant, and his early educa- . _.. __ _..., ^ on wag acquired in the district school. His parents wished him to have every advantage in an educational way, and sent him to Ottawa University. After leav- ing college he remained at home until 1888, when he went to Alma to reside, as he was holding the office of deputy county clerk. Upon completing his term in office he entered the employ of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company for a year; but he had grown fond of jour- nalism, and while in Alma had decided in time to own a paper of his own. With this end in view he returned to Alma, and in 1891 bought a half interest in the Enterprise, an influential Re- publican journal that has a wide circulation. He has taken a leading part in politics in Wa- baunsee county for years, and in 1892 was a delegate to the Republican national convention. <§> — 4> Mr. Little is a Mason, having taken all the degrees from the Chapter to the Mystic Shrine, and is a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. In 1905 he married Mrs. Theresa Home, nee Schutter. He owns and edits his own paper, and plays no small part in molding the opinions and ideas of the Wabaunsee population. The press of Kansas is known for its fearlessness in handling public questions, and Mr. Little was one of the first to bring before the people of his county those things upon which all should be informed. He is the secretary of the Wabaunsee County Historical Society. 0. W. LITTLE, Alma, Kansas. History of Kansas Newspapers. 81 - WILLIAM C. MARKHAM. Baldwin City, Kansas. —6 82 Kansas State Historical Society. WILLIAM C. MARKHAM. WILLIAM COLFAX MARKHAM is a native of Ohio and the son of a Methodist minister. He attended the public schools in four different towns, and while living at Lorain had his first newspaper ex- perience in reporting daily to the Cleveland papers the dock news from that port. After spending three years at Baldwin University he came west with his parents, and graduated from Baker University in 1891. In 1892-'93 he took special work in history and politics in Johns Hopkins University, where he was a pupil of President Wilson. In August, 1893, he purchased the Baldwin Ledger, and is still its proprietor. He was postmaster of Baldwin City for thirteen years, and during nine years of. that time was secretary of the Kansas Postmasters' Association. He organized the Southwest Postal Association, covering six states, and: until his retire- ment from the postal service edited the Southwest Postal News. -At each convention he published a daily paper. During the last year of his postal service he was secretary of the National Association of Postmasters, and at St. Paul ran a daily paper during the week of the convention. He is the author of several plays covering events of Kansas territorial history, besides numerous short poems. In May, 1916, he was elected president of the Kansas State Editorial Association, HERBERT CAVANESS. . HERBERT CAVANESS was born at Chetopa, Kan., but refuses to reveal the date of that event. He has had rather a peculiar career in Kansas, saying that he was handicapped in life by being a preacher's son. The older members of his father's congregation yet tell how he used to run horse faces with the old sorrel mare which his father used to ride on the circuit. His father went into the newspaper business, and Herbert was put to work learning the printer's trade. He says his early ambition was to be a bus driver, but he was forced into the newspaper business against his will, and made to wrap papers, set type and take proof, when he would much rather have been down at the old swimming hole. , Mr. Cavaness is president of the Tribune Publishing Company, which publishes the Chanute Daily Tribune. The Tribune was established in 1892, and was consolidated July 1, 1909; with the Chanute Sun. The Tribune is one of the influential papers of the state. Mr. Cavaness was postmaster of Chanute eight years. He says his most noteworthy achievement has been that he graduated from Baker University without getting married or becoming a preacher. When asked what other callings had appealed to him, he made the following reply : "I have had a narrow escape from two other callings — educational and the chautauqua platform.

When m college I entered an oratorical contest in which there were eleven con- testants. It ended my proposed chautauqua career, as the judges unani- mously awarded me eleventh place." It is not, however, as bad as Mr. Cavaness makes it. He is an inter- esting speaker and one of the brightest newspaper men of Kansas. H. C. STICHER. HC. STICHER was born October 6, 1876, at Neosho Falls, Kan. . At the age of eleven he moved with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Sticher, to Yates Center, Kan., where the father was to serve as county attorney of Woodson county, and afterward to be honored by an election as state representative. H. C.

Mr. Sticher has successfully edited and owned the Neosho Falls Post, the Alma Signal, and owned a half interest in the Belleville Telescope with A. Q. Miller. He was private secretary to Congressman R. R. Rees, of the fifth district, two sessions of Congress, and then resigned to purchase the Osage City Public Opinion of Maurice Crowther; later also purchasing the Oswge City Free Press of Chas. Barnes, both of which papers he now owns and is the active editor. Mr. Sticher is secretary of the Osage City Commercial Club, also secretary of the Trades' Extension Committee. He has been active in newspaper work and in politics for the past twenty years. In 1907-'08 he was treasurer, in 1909-'I0 vice president, and in 1911 president of the Kansas State Editorial Association.- JOSEPH W. HOWE. JOSEPH W.

For eight years he served as secretary of the Democratic State Edi- torial Association, and for six years was a member of the Abilene school board. RALPH A. HARRIS. RALPH A. HARRIS, editor and owner of the Ottawa Herald, was born in Ottawa, Kan., March 12, 1871, and has made his home there up to the present time with the exception of three years spent on a farm in Franklin county, Kansas, during his early childhood. He received his education in the Ottawa public schools, Ottawa University, and North- western University, Evanston, 111. On leaving school he engaged in the banking business at Ottawa. In 1907 he purchased the Ottawa Herald from Henry J. Allen, and has conducted it since that time. MINNIE A. LAWLESS. MINNIE A. LAWLESS, editor and manager of the Herald Publish- ing Company, of St. Francis, Kan., gained her admittance into the newspaper world by her marriage to George Lawless, in 1898, and at once became associate editor of the Kansas Eagle at St. Francis. Together they struggled along, against all odds, doing most of their own work, printing the paper on an old Army press, until 1905, when a change came. The two papers of the town were consolidated, Mr. Lawless becoming owner. Business had outgrown the back room and hand press, so he erected the first brick business house in the city, the present convenient home of the paper. The company was then formed, composed of six leading business men of the county, and a splendid new and complete equipment installed. Mr. Lawless, being elected editor and business manager, everything started over again, the enterprise proving pleasant and profitable for all concerned. Mrs. Lawless was given the honor of naming the new publication, which she christened the Herald. In 1912, after a lingering illness, Editor Lawless died, and since that time, Mrs. Lawless has taken his place as editor and manager, and the business has never been more flourishing than it is under her super- vision. The circulation has grown to almost 1200. She is a very busy woman, devoting her entire time to the details of the office, gathering news, and can and often does make a hand at the cases. Having lived in Cheyenne county since 1886, teaching school for a number of years, her wide acquaintance with people and conditions is a valuable asset in her Kansas State Historical Society. -<& R.

Mrs. Lawless is fully qualified to write in the essay contest, "If I had it to do over again, would I marry a Kansas editor?" as she has served Her time in every part of the business, from inking the forms to writing copy. This woman editor was born in 1868. Her maiden name was Taylor, and her early life was spent in Illinois. She is the mother of one child, a daughter, Ruth, now eleven years old. Mrs. Lawless is devoted to her work, and her constant aim is to help her people and her county to improve, and her success is measured by the loyal support the Herald receives. HENRY J. ALLEN. HENRY JUSTIN ALLEN, editor and publisher of the Wichita Beacon, a leading member of the newspaper fraternity of Kansas, is a native of the Keystone state, born at Corry, Pa., in September, 1869. The Allen family was founded in America by John Allen, the grandfather of Henry J., who came to the United States from the north of Scotland and settled near Corry, Pa., in 1820. He was one of the pioneer farmers of that region. His son, John, jr., married Rebecca E. Goodwin, and four children were born to them — Elizabeth, the wife of G. W. Andrews, of Thomas, Okla. ; Henry J., the subject of this sketch ; Cora, wife of Edward F. Sheldon, of Ottawa, Kan.; and La Verne, a farmer at McAlester, Okla. At the outbreak of the Civil War John Allen, jr., enlisted in company I, Ninth New York cavalry, and served until mustered out of the service at the grand review held in Washington after peace had been declared. After leaving the army Mr. Allen came to Kansas in the fall of 1865, settling on land at Riverdale, Clay county, where he lived until he retired and removed to Clifton, Kan., where he now resides with his wife. Henry J. Allen was reared on his father's farm. He attended the public schools of Clay and Osage counties, but was ambitious, and learned the barber's trade, which he followed, thus earning enough money to attend Baker University. He belonged to the class of 1890, but did not graduate. However, in 1893 the university conferred upon him the degree of master of arts. While in college he became interested in newspaper work and was a member of the editorial staff of the college paper. In 1891 Mr. Allen was given the management of the Salina Republican, owned by Hon. J. L. Bristow. Three years later this property was sold, and Mr. Allen bought the Manhattan Nationalist, which he edited and published a year before disposing of it. Soon after this he and Mr. Bristow bought the Ottawa Herald, and the Salina Republican, changing the name of the latter to the Salina Journal. Mr. Allen was editor and manager of both publications until 1907, when the partnership was dis- solved, Mr. Bristow taking the Salina Journal and Mr. Allen the Ottawa Herald. The following year he disposed of the Herald and purchased the Wichita Beacon, of which he has since been the editor and manager. In all his business ventures Mr. Allen has been remarkably successful. History of Kansas Newspapers. 91 «■- HENRY J ALLEN, Wichita, Kansas. 92 Kansas State Historical Society. In 1910 he promoted the building of the first Kansas skyscraper, "the Beacon Building," which cost $435,000, and is the largest office building in the state. In politics Mr. Allen is a stanch Republican, having served as private secretary to Governor Stanley, who appointed him president of the Board of Charities during his second term in office. Under Governor Bailey Mr. Allen served in a like capacity. He has twice been a candi- date for Congress in the second Kansas district, but was defeated, once by Mr. Bowersock and later by Charles F. Scott. While in college Mr. Allen was a member of the Delta Tau Delta fra- ternity. He is a thirty-second degree Scottish Rite Mason, a Knight Templar, and a member of Midian Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, Wichita, a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Modern Woodmen of America, the Wichita Commercial Club, the Chamber of Commerce, the Country and Riverside clubs, the American Newspaper Association, and an hon- orary member of the National Press Club. October 19, 1891, Mr. Allen married Elsie J., daughter of Frederick Nuzman, a retired lumber and hardware merchant of Circleville, Kan. Mrs. Allen is a graduate of Baker University in the class of 1890. RALPH H. FAXON. RALPH H. FAXON was born near Topeka, Kan., May 9, 1875. His parents were early settlers of Shawnee county, living near the village and old-time territorial capital of Tecumseh. His father, a veteran of the War of the Rebellion, came to Kansas shortly after the close of the war, and for nearly fifty years has lived on the same quarter- section. R. H. Faxon was educated in the public schools of Shawnee county, in the academy of Washburn College, Topeka, and in business college at Topeka. He became a newspaper reporter on the old Topeka Press while still in his teens, and at different times worked on the Topeka State Journal, the Kansas City World and the Kansas City Star. He was con- nected with the Topeka bureaus of the two last-named papers. This was from 1895 to 1897. In the latter year he went to Newton to take news charge of the old Newton Republican, of which Noble Prentis was once editor, and remained there one year. In 1898 Mr. Faxon became secretary to Chester I. Long, then making his third campaign for representative from the seventh Kansas district. He remained with Mr. Long, who was elected United States senator from Kansas in 1903, until the latter's retirement from Congress, March 4, 1909, or eleven years in all. During his career as secretary to Mr. Long, Mr. Faxon became as familiar with Kansas, with its history, its affairs, its men and its geography as perhaps any young man of the state. In his Washington life he also represented various Kansas newspapers, in- cluding the Topeka State Journal, the Topeka Capital, and the Wichita Beacon and Eagle.

MILLER is a native Kansan, having been born in Washington . county, February 7, 1874. After completing his schooling at Clifton, Kan., he took a business course in the Alamo City Business Col- lege, of San Antonio, Tex. He was married in 1896 .to Martha L. Patter- son, at Clifton, Kan., and to this union were born five children. After several years' apprenticeship in the Clifton News office, under various managements, he bought the newspaper, when twenty years of age, successfully conducting it for two years. Selling the Clifton News to advantage, he bought and conducted the Riley Regent for three years, when he sold out to go to Victor, Colo., to become business manager of the Victor Daily Record, for a stock company of which he became a stock- holder. During the three years he was connected in a business capacity with this stock company it purchased and consolidated three newspapers in the Cripple Creek district, hitting the high-water mark in circulation and business for this gold-mining camp. In 1904 he purchased the Belleville Telescope, later consolidating with it the Belleville Freeman and Munden Progress. He recently purchased and is publishing from the Telescope office the Agenda Times. Mr. Miller has adways taken an active interest in public affairs and politics, putting his newspaper behind many community enterprises. He was secretary of the Belleville Commercial Club five years, which he helped to organize, and was secretary of the Republican county committee five years. He was sergeant-at-arms in the last Republican national con- vention at Chicago, and was one of the ten presidential electors of Kansas in 1912. In 1916 he was one of the speakers at the Kansas Day Club banquet at Topeka, his subject being "Preparedness and the Republican Party." Always active in the fraternity side of newspaper life, he has been recording secretary of the Kansas Editorial Association and first president of the Fifth District Editorial Association. When the Meridian Road was organized at Salina, Kan., Mr. Miller was one of the organizers and first treasurer. Likewise when the Rock Island Highway Association came into existence the meeting was held at Belleville at the invitation of Mr. Miller. He presided at the meeting and was elected ' secretary-treasurer, later- organizing the first trip over the road from St. Joseph to Denver. When the Rock Island Highway was merged, as-the Kansas link, into the national highway known as the Pike's Peak Ocean to Ocean Highway, at St. Joseph, Mr. Miller presided at the meeting, appointed the various committees, and was elected first vice president of the national organization. He is at present first vice president of the Pike's Peak Ocean to Ocean Highway, treasurer of the Kansas Division Meridian Road, secretary-treasurer of the Rock Island Highway, executive committeeman Kansas Good Roads Association, coun- cilor Kansas Division National Highways Association.

KNOX, of Independence, Kan., a young man of fine ability and character, has taken up journalism as his life work and has already demonstrated that he has more than ordinary talents in that direction. With a keen sense of the power of the press to educate and direct public opinion, he has adopted that attitude toward his profession which made the Sedan Times-Star a potent influence for good in his com- munity. His progressive spirit has brought him into prominence among the men of his profession in Kansas, his standing in the newspaper fra- ternity being indicated by his election in 1911 as vice-president of the Kansas State Editorial- Association, and as a former president of the Republican Editorial Association of the third district. Mr. Knox, further- more, is a native Kansan and a representative of that energetic younger generation of the state which is ably replacing those men who were the helmsmen of affairs during the first half century of Kansas statehood. Mr. Knox was born at Baldwin, Douglas county, Kansas, April 19, 1878, son of Hiram W. and Amelia M. (Knox) Knox. Both parents were natives of New York state and came to Kansas in an early period, locat- ing at Baldwin in 1876. • There the father died in 1878, the year of his son's birth. Clyde H. Knox was an infant at the tim6 of his father's death, and early had to commence the struggle for life for himself. Born and reared in Baldwin, the seat of Baker University, by persistent effort he managed to complete three years' work of the university course, but the necessity of assuming life's responsibilities at that time precluded his further study in the University. He learned the printer's trade in the Baldwin Ledger office, under William C. Markham, of Baldwin, and worked several hours each day in that office for three years while attend- ing college. He was business manager of the Baker Orange, the college paper, for a year. From there he went to Kansas City, Kan., where he was eniployed on the Kansas City Tribune. In January, 1898, he accepted employment as editor of the Coffeyville Journal, at Coffeyville, Kan., and remained there until August 1, 1902, when he bought the Times-Star at Sedan, Kan. He conducted that paper until September 1, 1906, when he sold the plant and returned to Coffeyville, where he bought an interest in -the Journal. He disposed of his stock in that paper December 1, 1908, and on March 1, 1909, bought the Sedan Lance, which he consolidated with the Times-Star on October 18 following. He later sold the Times- Star and bought the Independence Daily Reporter, which he still owns. Mr. Knox has prospered in his business ventures, and besides his newspaper plant has acquired some good property. In Masonry he has attained the Consistory degrees, and in 1910 was secretary of the Blue Lodge at Sedan. History of Kansas Newspapers. 99 CLYDE H. KNOX.

WARD, Sharon Sprisgs, Kansas. B. P. WALKER. IN OCTOBER, 1897, a young printer walked into the office of the Os- borne County Farmer, at Osborne, and went to work for seven dollars a week. The young printer was B. P. Walker, the present publisher of the Former. He walked into the office again in August, 1904, as sole owner. When he became boss of the Farmer his entire capital was the confidence of the man who owned the paper, and his own industry. In the following years the Farmer prospered wonderfully, and became one of the most valuable weekly newspaper plants in the state. Walker paid off every cent of indebtedness with the profits from the office. To-day the plant is one of the best in the country. The Farmer is building a fine new fireproof modern printing office. The paper is forty-two years old, and when it is moved into its new quarters it will be the "first time it has ever lived in its own home.

His 1 father -was a newspaper man before him, and the son came honestly by his talents. The Farmer is quoted all over the country from its department, "The Musings of the Village Deacon," the creation of Walker. The latter came to Kansas in 1877 and has lived here most of the time since. He is a practical printer and has worked in every branch of the business from daily papers to country shops. He is mar- ried and has a wife and baby daughter. In politics he is a Republican, and has been termed by William Allen White a diamond-backed stand- patter. MILTON F. AMRINE. MILTON F.

He went into the newspaper business as editor and manager of the Weekly Guard at Council Grove in the spring of 1898. He was a member of the Kansas legislature, house of representatives, in 1909, and later became pardon clerk in the office of ex-Governor W. R. Stubbs. He was superintendent of the State Reformatory at Hutchinson from August, 1910, to August, 1913. Returning to Council Grove, he resumed his newspaper work. The paper became a daily in November, 1915, and now Mr. Amrine publishes both a weekly and daily edition.

GOMER TALIESIN DA VIES, editor and proprietor of the Concordia Daily Kansan, has for nearly thirty years been at the head of a western newspaper. The Kansan stands first in Cloud county, and enjoys the liberal patronage and unqualified confidence of the people. Mr. Davies was born at Pont-y-Pridd, Glamorganshire, South Wales, January 25, 1855. In 1863 he crossed the Atlantic to seek a home in the United States. After landing in America he located in Pennsylvania for a few years, then removed to Livingston county, Missouri, and from there to Iowa, in 1869. In 1882 he came to Kansas, and a year later purchased the Republic County News, which was his first newspaper venture. While living in Republic county he was twice elected to the legislature, serving in the sessions of 1887-1889. In November, 1896, Mr. Davies bought the Kansan and moved to Concordia, where he has since continued to reside. In 1879 he married, at Cleveland, Lucas county, Iowa, Miss Catherine A. Powell, and they have seven children — Dr. John D. Davies, Mrs. H. Lague, jr., Miss Morfydd O. Davies, Harry L., Ralph B., Gladys, and Ruth. Mr. Davies is a sincere and competent business man. He never deviates from what he believes to be .right to all who are concerned, whether it be in business, political .or-jprivate life, and is intensely inter- ested in all affairs that pertain to the upbuilding and prosperity of the community. There are few homes the Kansan does not reach, and in each Mr. Davies' influence is felt. He is fearless, and in his whole career has been characterized by his keen sense of discrimination between right and wrong. He is prominent in social orders, having passed through all the chairs of the Odd Fellows Lodge, being. grand master in 1903-'64, grand representative in 1906 and 1907 ; is a member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, of the Knights of Pythias, Woodmen of America, and Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.

In January, 1881, he became half owner of the Clay Center Dispatch; three years later traded his interest in the Dispatch, and other things, for the Times. The Times is Valentine; Valentine is the Times. He was born in Iowa ; came to Kansas without protest, as a baby, with his parents. His father was D. M. Valentine, long associate justice of the supreme court. After loafing around a print shop as a small boy, D. A. Valentine naturally graduated into a correspondent, a reporter, and then into the field which he has held nearly a third of a century against all comers. For the past thirteen years L. F. Valentine, a brother, has been largely responsible for the successful conduct of the paper. For nearly three years, in the boom days, the Times was run as a small-town daily, and it ranked at that time as one of the very best small-town affairs in the state; but it was too good to live, and too proud to pay. To be sure there had been accompanying political honors all these years, but the pride and the glory and the satisfaction and the mainstay has been the Times. It has always been a model typographically, and always will be so long as the Valentines preside over its make-up. It has the largest authenticated circulation, field considered, of any weekly in the state; has the finest line of country correspondents; no editorial page to speak of, except during election campaigns, and from a business viewpoint is as steady as an eight-day clock. In fact, it is the only country weekly in the whole United States holding active mem- bership in the Audit Bureau of Circulations — its circulation guaranteed by successive outside audits. F. D.

He has been Republican member of the State Board of Corrections since 1913, and its chairman since July, 1915 ; president of the Golden Belt Road Association since 1912; one of the organizers of the Kansas Day Club, its secretary and president; was assistant secretary of the national Republican con- ventions at Chicago, 1908, 1912 and 1916. He is a Mason, Knight Templar, and Shriner. He is married and has three daughters. FRANK FOCKELE. FRANK FOCKELE, was born March 9, 1843, in Nieheim, a small town in the province of Westphalia, Germany. In addition to his training in the common schools he received a collegiate education. In the spring of 1864, after listening to the tales of some visiting young Ameri- cans, he became restless and decided to find a new home in the land beyond the sea. In the city of St. Louis and surrounding settlements he found opportunities to make use of his education by giving private lessons and teaching school. But the West was calling. In 1871 he answered the call, came to Kansas, and settled in Le Roy. The hard times of the "seventies" came, but he "pulled through" with the rest of the people. In 1880 he entered the newspaper business by forming a partnership History of Kansas Newspapers. 113 FRANK FOCKELE. Le Roy, Kansas. 114 Kansas State Historical Society. with B. Frank Smythe, who had taken over the Le Roy Reporter but could not make it go. The paper was a little five-column small-pica affair and much of a joke among newspaper men. In the summer of 1881 Mr. Fockele bought out his partner and became master of all he surveyed — which was not much. But he kept on working, adding insurance and real estate to his activities, and improving his paper until it became quite a respectable sheets While devoting overtime to his paper and other busi- ness, he kept in full touch with the spirit of advancement in his com- munity. He served time on the school board and city council, fought bravely in the various railroad bond fights, and contributed his share for the promotion of the public good. In politics Mr. Fockele is a Democrat — not of the pernicious-activity kind, but so he could always be located. In 1886 the Democrats needed a man to run for representative. "Run for" was all it was supposed to be. His objections were overruled. To the utter disgust of his Re- publican opponent, and his own and everybody else's surprise, Mr. Fockele was elected. He served his term, pleased his constituents by the enact- ment of needed local legislation, and did not introduce a single freak bill. His family life has been quiet and unobtrusive. He lost his life companion by death in 1913. Of his four 'children, Fred F. lives at Waverly, Kan., and is a banker; his son Glick and his two daughters, Misses Blanch and Kate Fockele, live at Le Roy. Eight years ago Mr. Fockele turned the full management of his paper and other business over to his son Glick Fockele, and is now taking life easy. WALT MASON. THERE are few people to-day who have not, at some time or other, heard of Walt Mason. For the benefit of those few it might be well to explain that Walt Mason, familiarly known as "Uncle Walt," is the Emporia, Kan., poet, whose inimitable wit has brought him national reputation. William Allen White, editor of the Emporia Gazette, some years ago called Mr. Mason the "poet laureate of American democracy," and admirers of Mr. Mason's work have voiced their approval of the title. While Walt Mason has restricted himself almost wholly to the writing of prose poems, he has done considerable other newspaper writing. For a' time he was connected with the Washington (D. C.) News. His book called "Uncle Walt's Book" and his "Rhymes of the Range" were pub- lished several years ago and are still in great demand. Asked, a short time ago, to write a sketch of himself for the Detroit News-Tribune, Mr. Mason, though very busy, responded promptly. What he had to say re- garding himself follows : "I was born at Columbus, Ontario, May 4, 1862. My parents were poor. I was the fifth of a series of six sons. My father was a dyer in a woolen mill, and was accidentally killed in that establishment when I was four years old. He was Welsh and my mother of Scotch descent. My mother was fond of books and poetry and old songs, and knew many of History of Kansas Newspapers. 115 j^,'aJil ^j^^_ ; 1 ■ MM HRF .^^^iiii^d f* . ^^ v% v h ' 'IP iif ^ ■ imqgm "S&m Ik. ^^i ^S^PBHf flflyi WALT MASON, Emporia, Kansas. -<£ 116 Kansas State Historical Society. the latter. She died when I was fifteen years old. Meanwhile, during my childhood, I had been going to a country school, and working for farmers and also in the woolen mill. After my mother's death I went to Port Hope, Ontario, and worked in a hardware store for a year and a half, drawing the princely salary of two and a half dollars a week and board- ing myself. When I was nine or ten years old I was nearly drowned, - and was hauled out of the water, unconscious, by an older brother.- I have had defective hearing ever since, and it is probably due to this that I never became a merchant prince. Anyhow, I was not a success in a hardware store, and when I told my employer I was going to leave he said it was the proudest and happiest moment of his life. Having severed my diplomatic -relations with the hardware man, I crossed Lake Ontario, in 1880, going to New York state, where I hoed beans for a summer. It was the poorest fun I ever struck. The soil was stony, and the hoe was dull, and the sun was as hot as blazes, and there did n't seem to be any sense in hoeing beans anyhow. From New York I took my way west- ward, arm in arm with the star of empire. I stopped a while in Ohio, then in Illinois, and finally reached St. Louis, where I went to work in a printing establishment and 'kicked' a job press through the hottest sum- flier ever invented. There was a humorous weekly called the Hornet in St. Louis, and I sent some stuff to it. The Hornet printed it, and the editor .wrote to me and asked me to call. He offered me five dollars a week to go to. work in the office, writing gems of thought, reading proofs, sweeping the floors, and otherwise making myself useful. I took the job and remained with the Hornet until it went broke. Not being able to get another job in St. Louis, I went to Kansas and worked around the state for three years as a hired man. Disgusted with that sort of work, and being ambitious to get into newspaper business, I managed to get a job with the Leavenworth Times. Later I became a reporter on the Atchison Globe, and there learned a great deal that was useful to me. From that time forward I was chasing myself over the country, and was connected with newspapers in a dozen cities, but always had the idea that the next town would be a little better, and kept moving around. I was mixing up farming with newspaper work in Nebraska for a good many years, and making a failure of both. It took me a good while to dis- cover that pigs and poetry won't mix. When I did find it out I came to Kansas and went to work for William Allen White, writing stuff for the editorial page of the Emporia Gazette. The Gazette always printed on its first page an item of local news with a border around it, called a star head. One day the city editor was shy of the necessary item and asked me to write something to fill that space. I wrote a little prose poem, advising people to go to church next day, which was Sunday. The prose rhyme attracted some attention, and on Monday I wrote another one, and a third on Tuesday, and so on, and the star-head rhyme became a feature of the Gazette. Thus originated the prose poem." History of Kansas Newspapers. 117 118 Kansas State Historical Society. HENRY C. MAYSE. HENRY C. MAYSE, editor and owner of the Ashland Clipper, was born on a Missouri farm, and his parents being of very limited means, Henry was given only a very meager country-school education. In 1887, together with his parents and the other members of the family, he located at Ashland, Clark county, Kansas, where he entered a bank as clerk. The stress of the early nineties closed the bank, and he was given the job of deputy in the office of the clerk of the district court. While deputy clerk he made use of his time in the study of the law, and in 1892 was admitted to practice. He was twice elected county attorney of Clark county and soon built up a good and lucrative practice. In March, J.895, he enlisted the financial assistance of two of his friends and purchased the Clark County Clipper, which then had 250 subscribers. He has since changed the name to the Ashland Clipper. Having more of a bent for newspaper work than for the law, he soon gave up the practice of law and has since devoted his time to h'is newspaper, which he has made one of the recognized country weeklies of the state. His originality is prob- ably best illustrated in the fact that at the time of his taking charge of the Clipper he adopted phonetic spelling and the use of the pronoun "I" in his writings, which probably makes him one of the pioneers, in the use of each. They have both been adopted since by many leading newspapers and magazines of the country. He has uniformly advocated progress, and since he became owner of the Clipper it has been one of the prime movers in every progressive endeavor of the city of Ashland. Several years ago he endeavored to have the city put in a light and water system, and when the city neglected to do so he attached a generator to his press engine, and for more, than a year furnished electricity for his office, Main street and the opera house, which was one of the very first electric- light plants in the southwest part of the state. After the people had become accustomed to light, he closed down the plant and asked the mayor -to call an election, which was immediately done, and the city installed a $30,000 light and water system. He has consistently kept his paper neutral in politics, locally, which seems to have been very satisfactory to the people of the city, as his has, until the past few months, been the only paper in that county-seat town. M. M. BECK. WHEN the Historical Society asked Mr. Beck for a sketch of his life he said : "Born on a farm in Wayne county, Indiana, November 22, 1838. In addition to this encumbrance, and a number of others of a like nature, the farm loaded down with a mortgage, it was not only difficult but practically impossible, with the financial panic that followed the Democratic financial blundering in the late thirties, with pork $1.25 and no market to speak of for other farm products, to raise a mortgage and a family at the same time. Under these conditions my father lost his farm, and I was reared on a rented farm. History of Kansas Newspapers. 119 M. M. BECK, Holton, Kansas. - 120 Kansas State Historical Society. "Such an education as could be obtained in the common schools of that time I received, with a term or two . of high school and a course in a commercial college; In my eighteenth year I left the farm to clerk in a country store, receiving for my first year's services $75, besides board and lodging. I remained in this occupation until the Civil War was declared, when, on the 18th of April, 1861, I enlisted as a private in com- pany K, Sixteenth Indiana infantry, in which regiment I served on the Potomac, around Washington city, thirteen months. I then, with others, recruited and joined the Eighteenth battery, Indiana artillery, in which I served as second lieutenant, first lieutenant and captain, successively, until the end of the war. After the war I purchased a general store in a country town, which I managed to conduct four years before losing what I had previously saved in clerking and from my army pay. "In 1869 I came to Jackson county, Kansas, my total- assets' being a wife and baby. That baby is now managing editor of the Chicago Tribune. In 1870 I started a drug store in Holton,, and three years later was appointed postmaster of Holton. In 1875 I was superseded in the post office by the editor of the only paper in the county, and this is why I concluded to embark in the newspaper business, March 2, 1875. ; Four months later I was reappointed postmaster and held the office until 1886, when I was removed by President Cleveland for being an offensive partisan. I was again appointed by President McKinley in 1898, and held the office four years. In 1881 I purchased- my partner's interest in the Recorder, and was the sole proprietor until in 1897 my son, Will T. Beck, took an interest, and soon thereafter became business manager and managing editor, which position he still retains. A year ago I trans- ferred my interest in the paper to my son Will and daughter Martha. They still retain me as editor. "In addition to the post office, I held the office of director of the Peni- tentiary two years under Governor Morrill's administration." EDGAR W. HOWE.

DAVID D. LEAHY. DAVID D. LEAHY was born in Ballycomane, County Limerick, Ire- land, on October 27, 1858, the same day that Roosevelt was born. At the age of twenty he came to Missouri and wrote his first piece for a German paper, which caused him trouble. He came to Kansas when he was twenty-one, and joined the Payne Oklahoma boomers in 1881, at Caldwell, where he edited his first paper. He also had papers at Kiowa and Medicine Lodge and worked at Hutchinson and Wellington. He was in the first provisional government of Kingfisher after the opening of Oklahoma. He began work for the Wichita Beacon in 1889, and went to the Wichita Eagle about 1890. He was, at the times mentioned, the only reporter on these papers, and became editor of each of them. He was Topeka correspondent for the Kansas City Times in 1907-'08. Went back to the Wichita Beacon and then to the Wichita Eagle. He went to Congress with Victor Murdock, as his secretary, in 1903, and remained with him until the death of Colonel Murdock, when he became editor of the Eagle. Two years later he went to Topeka to become private secre- tary for Governor Stubbs, and served throughout his administration. He then went to the Wichita division of the United States marshal's office, and made over seventy arrests and took many prisoners to the peni- tentiary without ever owning or carrying a weapon of any sort. He became editor of the El Dorado Republican in 1914, and served one year there, leaving with a view to retiring permanently. Before he got out of bed next morning he had a call from H. J. Allen to work on the History of Kansas Newspapers. 123 ■$>- -<$> DAVID D. LEAHY. Wichita, Kansas. 124 Kansas State Historical Society. <$>- NORTON A. TURNER. Russell, Kansas.

His peculiar claim is that he was never discharged in his life, that he never has asked an in- crease in salary, and that he never has had a libel suit or occasion to make a retraction of anything written by him, except in the case of something he wrote about the senate of Kansas in 1911, when he was arrested, the first and only time in his life, for contempt of that body. NORTON A. TURNER. NORTON A. TURNER, editor and owner of the Russell Record, spent practically all his life in western Kansas. He came to Rawlins county, Kansas, in the fall of 1885, at the age of nine years, from Grundy county, Missouri, with his father (Rev. H. H. Turner, a Baptist minister) and his family; lived on a homestead until the fall of 1890; moved to Colby, Thomas county, Kansas; worked in a printing office and attended high school. He succeeded P. A. Tr'outfetter as owner of the Colby Tribune in 1896. He was then not yet twenty-one years old, and was the youngest proprietor of a printing plant in Kansas. The Tribune prospered under Mr. Turner's management, and was recognized as one of the, leading papers in the sixth district when he disposed of it in the spring of 1912. He served as sergeant-at-arms of the house of representa- tives during the session of 1911. Mr. Turner purchased the Russell Record, the oldest newspaper in Russell county, from L. H. Boyd, Ira S. Fleck and J. H. Hill, March 1, 1912. The publication in its more than forty years of existence has never been more prosperous or influential than now, and is recognized as a power in western Kansas Republican politics. The Record's well-known "Loom End" column is widely quoted. Lately a new up-to-date intertype was added to the Record's complete equipment. WILL TOWNSLEY. WILL TOWNSLEY was born in Great Bend thirty-four years ago, went through the schools there, and served an apprenticeship on his father's paper, the Tribune. He acted as collector, while a boy, for a small daily, the Evening News, which he published in the nineties. After graduation from the local high school he went-to Washburn College, Topeka. While there he had a paper route on the State Journal, and , was there for nearly three years, when he returned to Great Bend to take charge of the Tribune and get his first real experience. His father's health was failing, and some one had to take charge of things. For a time his mother had charge of the office. Later he took the manage- ment of the paper. He also worked an engraving plant for a couple of years, working nights and making cuts for job work and the paper. About 1908, while there were two other offices in Great Bend, both of them with weekly and daily, he got a chance to buy the other Republican weekly and daily, and did so. Then the second daily turned over its 126 Kansas State Historical Society. -■$> WILL TOWNSLEY. Great Bend, Kansas. History of Kansas Newspapers. 127 ♦- SETH G.

It has been Republican in politics, and thinks more of the short local than of the long editorial. Mr. Townsley is married and has two children, a daughter four years old and a son younger. SETH G. WELLS. A MAN'S candle power is measured largely by his influence upon his own community. In Neosho county, the first step in any public or political project is to find out what "Seth" thinks about it. That is to say, it is the first step unless "Seth," as in many instances, chances to be the originator of the project. "Seth"'is Seth G. Wells, editor and owner of the Erie Record, and the town's most active, public-spirited and in- fluential citizen. With the exception of a couple of years spent in California in the late eighties, Seth Wells has been connected with his newspaper, the Erie Record, since 1879. The greater portion of that time he has been the Erie Record, and thus the most consistently influential force in his county for a generation. He learned the printer's trade in the Record office, and subsequently became its foreman. After a series of adventures in other fields of endeavor, he returned to the Record in 1890. He has been the owner of the paper for fifteen years, and its guiding hand for twenty-five. Mr. Wells was born in Jersey county, Illinois, in 1863, and came to Kansas and Neosho county with his parents in the late sixties. His father, Judge J. A. Wells, was one of the prominent citizens of the early days, and the family has put its impress upon Kansas for nearly fifty years. Seth Wells was appointed postmaster at Erie by President Mc- Kinley in 1897, and held the office until he was elected state auditor on the Republican ticket in the fall of 1902. He was reelected state auditor in 1904. ' Those who know Seth Wells best are his closest friends. They say of him that he never avoided battle, compromised with wrong, nor forgot a friend. FRANK P. MAC LENNAN. Topeka, Kan., July 10, 1916. Mr. W. E. Connelley, Secretary' State Historical Society, Topeka, Kan.: IN REPLY to your request for a brief biography of myself for use in the History of Kansas Newspapers I hand you herewith a few notes very hurriedly written. I was born over fifty years ago in Ohio, and was a Buckeye until the age of fifteen, when my parents brought me to Emporia, Kan., where I resided until' thirty years ago; then coming to Topeka and buying the State Journal at public auction. History of Kansas Newspapers. 129 FRANK P. MAC LENNAN. Topeka, Kansas. 4>~ 130 Kansas State Historical Society. When I was a boy, at Springfield, I hung around the printing offices, folded papers, and was a newspaper carrier for the old Springfield Ad- vertiser. When twenty years old I had completed, in three years, the regular course at the University of Kansas. About twelve years later, much to my surprise, the institution gave me a master's degree. At the end of three years at the University my father met with financial reverses, and I started to work. Without my knowledge, my mother borrowed $300 from a friend and sent me back to finish with my class. It took me a number of years to pay off that note, but I was grateful to my mother for her action. ' When I left the University I had $13 in money (most of which I de- posited in a bank at Lawrence) and the $300 debt. I weighed 123 pounds; weight now is 200. A school chum and myself walked to Abi- lene, where there was a big demand for harvest hands. I learned to make a wheat band on the way. That was before the time of the self- binder, which was just coming into use. I made from $2 to $2.50 per day and board in the harvest field, and gained fourteen pounds. The following year I also helped harvest the wheat in Sedgwick county and worked on farms along the "Cowskin," southwest of Wichita, and also in the neighborhood of Victor Murdock's present suburban three- acre home. After .harvest I joined a railroad surveying party on the plains of western Kansas and in Colorado. I spent about two years at this sort of work, including a great variety of railroad engineering, and when times were hard worked on the section. Having gained a sound constitution by much outside work summer and winter, I went into newspaper work. For about seven years I worked in practically every department on the Emporia News — mechanical, re- portorial, business, editorial, and as one of the proprietors. I worked on the old Taylor drum-cylinder press and in the composing room. I never set much type, and have frequently regretted that I never had the oppor- tunity to become sufficiently proficient to qualify me for a membership in the International Typographical Union, which I consider one of the greatest organizations in the United States. The recently retired presi- dent of that institution, James M. Lynch, is certainly one of the best and fairest men I ever knew. The Typographical Union is a wonderful insti- tution for its members, and does them a world of good. Any good printer should be proud to belong to it. It not only helps the members to secure fair wages and good working conditions — to both of which they are surely entitled — but it helps them when they grow old, and helps them, . through the Printers Home, when they are sick and incapacitated. If all unions were modeled on the plan of the printers' there would be fewer labor troubles. I did some "make-up" on the old Emporia Weekly News — with its ten long columns to the page, making long arms necessary — and ran the Mustang mailer, which included setting the names and addresses of the subscribers in type, and keeping the dates of their subscriptions correct on the galleys. History of Kansas Newspapers. 131 Jacob Stotler, Alexander Butts and I were equal partners on the Emporia Daily News for several years. When my interest in the News was sold I really wanted to take a six months' vacation and spend it in Washington, D. C, as a news corre- spondent, and see how the government was conducted and what congress- men did to earn their salaries; but the Topeka State Journal was ad- vertised to be sold at public auction three weeks after I left the Emporia News, so I came up here and bid for it. I got it. A year afterward I tried to get rid of it, because I found it was in far worse condition than I had imagined any newspaper could be, and I had sunk so much money in it the first year — all that I had, and all that I could possibly borrow, I thought — with no prospects but gloom and ex- pense in sight. Nobody would buy it, so I tried to make the best of what I considered a bad bargain, and about that time the paper began to "play even" and pay a little. My credit grew better, and I was able to borrow more money. Last year I spent almost as much money for new machinery as the paper originally cost me, and this year I am spending about as much for new equipment, in order to keep up with the procession. Most of my earnings go back into the State Journal. We had to raise our advertising rates the first of April, and at to-day's market price for white paper alone it would cost me $3000 more a month for white paper than it did a year ago, and yet one or two ad- vertisers think I have no right to advance the rate, even if the circula- tion has doubled since they began to pay the former rate. I have always liked reporting on a newspaper, and enjoy work in the composing room, around the forms and make-up, and about the desk where the copy lands, and have an ungratified ambition to learn to operate that wonderful machine, the linotype. I own eight of these ma- chines, including the very latest model "17," now shipping from the factory. In the thirty years of the State Journal under my conduct there has never been a strike. All differences have been settled by agreement and conciliation. In addition to being a newspaper man, I am also a farmer — that is to say, we can raise nearly everything we eat on the 60-acre place I have five miles west of Topeka. I have recently gone into the banking busi- ness. Six months ago I had no thought of anything of this sort, but all of the nine banks in Topeka and two trust companies, I greatly regret to say, combined against me and the State Journal to discredit the paper and to deprive the city and county of a just rate for their surplus funds. I was forced into the banking business to defend the integrity, reputa- tion and good faith of my newspaper, and to secure what I considered the rights of the city. The new bank, I am sure, will be a benefit to all the banks of the city, increase their business, and raise the financial standing of the capital city of Kansas. I will be merely vice president of the Kansas Reserve State Bank, and will try to devote an hour a day to it. Nothing will take my energies and time from the daily paper. I have associated with me some of the very 132 Kansas State Historical Society. best bankers and business men in Topeka and Kansas, and they are all enthusiastic and delighted over our great prospects. I have a comfortable home for my good family — my wife, Anna God- dard MacLennan, and daughter Mary; a fireproof modern newspaper office; a newspaper which pays its way, gives its owner an adequate live- lihood, and earns sufficient money to buy the new machinery and equip- ment constantly necessary, and employ labor at fair rates. A great many people are employed by the State Journal, and seem to like their work and be in comfortable circumstances by reason of it. I have never held any public office, elective or appointive, and have no ambition in that direction. Without being a candidate, and without my knowledge, I was elected vice president of the board of directors of the Associated Press, the greatest news-gathering association in the world, having a membership of 900 papers and expending $3,000,000 a year in its cooperative method of gathering and disseminating news, for it is an organization without profit. I was also elected for a second term, which was rather unusual. From my own viewpoint, I regard the office of director of the Associated Press as preferable to that of the office of United States senator. I love my work, am out of debt, and consequently content and hopeful, constantly striving to make a better newspaper and make Topeka and Kansas better places in which to live. Very truly yours, Frank P. MacLennan. HAROLD T. CHASE. HAROLD TAYLOR CHASE has done the editorial writing for the Topeka Daily Capital since April, 1889.

EDWARD P. HARRIS was bom June 11, 1834, at Hudson, N. H. He learned the printer's trade before he was twenty years old, and has been a printer and proofreader from the time he first entered a print shop until to-day. In 1856 Mr. Harris was at work in Boston, where a party was made up to go to Kansas. He joined the party and came to Kansas through Chi- cago. He was a member of Lane's Army of the North, and came into Kansas over the old Lane trail, crossing the state line from Nebraska, August 7, 1856. Two miles over the line sixty men dropped out of the company and established the town of Plymouth* Twelve miles further down another party, including Mr. Harris, laid out the town of Lexing- ton. Still a third party founded the town of Holton. Mr. Harris came on to Topeka shortly after the founding of Lexington. Topeka was then a little village of three hundred people. It was unsafe to venture far out without a revolver, rifle or bowie knife. Mr. Harris said that you never knew what tree, bush or clump of grass might hide a border ruffian. Mr. Harris has known every governor of Kansas from Andrew H. Reeder down to Governor Capper. He is one of the pioneer printers of the state. He worked on the Herald of Freedom in 1856. In the fall of that year Preston B. Plumb was foreman of the office.' Mr. Harris saw the free-state legislature dispersed in 1856 at Topeka. He was foreman of the state printing office in 1873, which position he held until 1891. He was associated with all the old-time newspaper men and printers of Kan- sas. In 1891 Mr. Harris became the proofreader for Crane & Company, Topeka, where he has remained to this day. It is hard to realize that there ds yet living, in active service, a man who staked out a claim two and a half miles east of Topeka, but such is the case. He is still in good health, and has seen the state grow from the small fringe of settlements along the eastern border to one of the great states of the Union.
