The newspaper rose to national attention after William Allen White bought the newspaper for $3,000 in 1895.

White was to strike a friendship with US President Theodore Roosevelt who was to stay at the White home called Red Rocks during cross country trips.

White was to win the 1923 Pulitzer Prize for an editorials after he was arrested for a free speech violation of a newly enacted law pushed by Kansas Governor Henry Justin Allen. White's autobiography published posthumously won the 1947 Pulitzer Prize.

The newspaper is still published by the White family.
