Emporia Gazette
The Emporia Gazette is a daily publication based in Emporia, Kansas. In 1895, William Allen White acquired the newspaper for $3,000, which would be equivalent to about $85,300 today. Over the next fifty years, as its editor, he became a legendary figure in both American journalism and politics. The Gazette gained significant national recognition, especially within the Republican Party, after the release of White's editorial titled "What's the Matter With Kansas?" in 1896. This piece sharply criticized Populism and the presidential campaign of William Jennings Bryan. White also developed a close friendship with President Theodore Roosevelt, who frequently visited the White residence, known as Red Rocks, during his travels across the country.

A large crowd of children and their trusty worm companions congregated at the library, eager to see their worms off and racing for first place. During each race, four worms were placed in a green start circle, and each worm raced to the edge to qualify for the next round. Alexander and his worm Jim took the first place prize.
