'''William Allen White''' (1868-1941) was the editor of the ''Emporia Gazette'' in Emporia, [[Kansas]] from 1895 until his death. He is best known for his 1896 editorial "What's the Matter With Kansas?", a satirical piece that blamed the Populist movement for the state's declining population and prestige. [http://www.h-net.org/~shgape/internet/kansas.html] In 2004, liberal author [[Thomas Frank]] wrote a bestselling book with the same title that bitterly attacked conservatives and [[Republicans]] for their contributions to Kansas politics. [http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2004/apr/25/whats_the_matter/] The library at Emporia State University, which is home to one of the only Library Science departments in the Midwest, is named after White.
