William A. White's Autobiography Chronicles His Successful Career
WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE
(By United Press)
**
"The Autobiography of William Allen White" (Macmillan) is a chapter from the pages of America. It is the story of a successful American, not success measured in riches or position, but the success that comes with being a sane leader who fights for justice and security for all in this nation.
William Allen White has become a legend as the "Sage of Emporia." In his autobiography, which was left incomplete by his death in 1944, White charmingly and honestly chronicles one of the most-amazing careers in journalism.
White's fame as a newspaperman was international. He knew the great and the small. Born in Emporia in 1858, he began his brilliant career as an editor in 1895, when he purchased the Gazette and settled

White, as he depicts, had vanity and a conscience. He wanted success, he says, and he found it. He liked to mingle and put his influence behind the politicians, whether on a national or a county scale. But his conscience and his biting editorial pen led him to support virtually every advance in science, economics and politics. Doing that on a "country newspaper" does not always make for a successful one. The editor阻拦 against evil
The editor crusaded against evil but he was never one to hold grudges. As an impartial editor, White looked always for both sides of a question, sometimes to the fault
White was an intellectual adventurer, forever seeking the why and wherefore. He either sought out or was sought out through the years by virtually every one worth knowing.
of finding some good even in an incurably "bad" person.
He was a power in Republican politics. His autobiography is as crystal clear as his editorials and the reader is the richer for knowing those who figured in Republican politics.
To weigh the scales to find in what field the man contributed the most would be difficult, but to say that at least as a public servant he offered as much as any man would not be far from the truth. Probably his greatest contribution came in his fight against the Ku Klux Klan. Sane and clear, he warned again and again against the swelling economic balloon which burst finally in 1929.
White never did find quite the answer to what he thought was the

Regretfully. White died before he could finish his autobiography. The autobiography encompasses the years from 1868 and 1923, the point at which he was interrupted. However, his son takes up* from there with letters, editorials and unpublished material left by his father and completes it in commendable fashion.
