White Publishes His Talks Delivered Here Last Spring

William Allen White, editor of the Emporia Gazette and homespun pundit of American affairs, has published the lectures he gave here last spring under the auspices of the American Civilization Committee on "The Changing West."

Bearing the same title as the lectures, the book, published by the Macmillan Company, is subtitled "An Economic Theory About Our Golden Age." The theory is chiefly that American farmers made their profits, while they made them, from the increase in land values rather than from farming itself, but White deals with the culture and ideals of the West as much as with economic theory.
