WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE PAYS BEAUTIFUL
TRIBUTE TO DAUGHTER WHO DIED IN PLAY:;
8HE WOULD HAVE SCORNED PRESS REPORTS SAYING SHE WAS
KILLED IN FALL FROM HORSE, HE DECLARES;
JOYOUS. VOICE STILLED.
By United New
EMPORIA, Kan., May 20 In an
editorial in his paper, Tlic Emporia
Gazette, William Allen White, the
famous editor and publisher, pays
beautiful tribute to the memory of
his only daughter, Mary, 16, whose
death followed an accident while
she was riding her 'saddle horse.
"Press reports carrying 'tho news of
Mary White's death declared that it
came as the result of a fall from a
horse," tho editor and father wrote.
"How she would have- hooted at
that; slio never fell from a horse
in her life. Horses have fallen on
her and with her 'I'm always try
ing to hold 'em in my lap,' 'she used
t: Bay. Hut she was proud of a few
tl ings, and one was that she could
ride anything that had four legs and
hair. Her death resulted not from a
fall, but f;om a blow on tho head
which fractured her skull, and the
blow came from the limb of an
overhanging tree on the parking.
"Tho last hour of her life was
typical of its happiness. She came
heme from .a day's work at school,
topped off by a hard grind with tho
copy on the high school annual, and
felt that a ride would refresh her.
She climbed into her khakis, chat
tering to her mother about tho work
she was doing, and hurried to get
her horso and bo out on the dirt
roads for th'o country air and the
radiant green fields of spring. As sne
rodo through the town on an easy
gallop she kept waving at passers
by. She knew everyone In town. For
a decade the little figure with the
long pigtail and the red hair ribbon
has been familiar on tho streets of
Emporia, and sho got in the way of
speaking to those who nodded nt
her.
. "A Gazette carrier passed, a high
school boy friend and sho waved
at him, but with her bridle hand;
tho horse veered quickly, plunged
into tho parking where tho low
hanging limb facol her, while Hho
still looked back wrving, tho blow
came.
"Sho was I he hr.ppiest thing in
the world. Sho was happy because
alio was enlarging her horizon. She
loved to rollick; persiflage was nor
natural experience at home. Ilor
humor was a continual hubblo of

council, which sat with the men s

year she tasted the first fruits of
success by having her pictures ac
cepted by the high school annual.
But the thrill of delieht sho got
when Mr. Ecord of the normal an
nual asked her to do tho cartooning
for that book this spring was too
'beautiful for words. Sho fell to her
work with all her enthusiastic heart.
Her drawings were accepted and
her pride always, repressed by a
lively sense of tho ridiculousness of
the figure she was cutting was a
really gorgeous thing to see. No
successful artist ever drank a deep
er draught of satisfaction than she
took from tho little fame her work
was getting among her !5chool fel
lows. In her glory, she almost for
got her horso but never her car.
"For she used tho car as a jitney
bus. It was her social life. She
never had a 'party' in all her nearly
17 years wouldn't have one; but
sho never drove a block In the car
in her life that she didn't fill the
car with pickups. Everybody rode
with Mary White white and black,
old and young, rich and poor, men
and women. She liked nothing bet
ter than to fill the car full of long
legged high school boys and an oc
casional 'girl, and parade the town.
Sho never had a 'date' nor went to
a dance, except once with her broth
er Bill, and the "boy 'proposition"
didn't interest her yet. But young
people great spring-breaking, var
nlsh-cracklng, fender-bending, door

great pleasure.

a chief stands out prominently. He
was intelligent, honest and trusted by
his tribe. He accompanied Fremont to
Washington, D. C., in 1843. While
there he learned to read and write In
English, and then returned to his own
"illahee.'' He finally removed with the
other Indians to the Warm Spring
reservation and ended his days llierc.
His descendants still live there.
The descendants of the original
Wasco ilndians are educated and
Americanized now. They dress as we
