After graduating at the University

ommun-
mmand- work on the newspaper, eventually
ou'rged purchasing the Gazette at Emporia,
tonigh: Kan., where he has been loc'ated since
ellent. that tine. Through his paper he has
made himself a commanding influence
in the west.
unfavor- Dr. T. M. Iden, teacher of the Upper
t of the Room Bible class in Ann Arbor, was
ntinued e. rsonally acquainted with Mr. White
nce and while engaged hi similar work at Em-
poria, and describes him as " a plain,
Ly in a simple, old-fashioned man; a typical
f Cleve- Kansas product." In telling of this
making friendship of ome years,'Dri. Iden re-
ie over- lated that Mr. White would often joke"

mtpn+ frequently, too, that he was "no good

But despite Mr. White's tendency to
underestimate fiimself as a speaker,
Dr. Iden says, "As a story teller on
the platform he is extremely interest-
ing," and Prof. H. E. Riggs of the eng-
ineering college, a close friend of Mr.
White's, asserts that he is 'not only a
good talker, but distinctly original.

he was, in his own words, "down and
