Journal and its Kansas legacy in early 1907
The Journal of Lawrence Kansas traces its origins in Isai and notes expansions and mergers, claiming status as the oldest widely circulated paper in the territory. It details daily and weekly editions, subscription terms, and an address in Lawrence. The issue also reports on Bull Jenkins killing and calls for action against a feared east bottoms class, blaming local officials for tolerating crime. It concludes with a critical piece on Harriman era freight rates and railroad finance, warning of inflated capital and future consequences.
