THE SUNDAY OKEQONIAN, PORTLAND', MARCH 25, 1900. 19 FAMOUS KANSAS EDITOR "ED" HOWE, ItETV. CHABJHES X. SHELDON'S RIVAL Df TOPEKA. Career of tho Mas Who "Wet Novel Deeper in. Humanity. Than "David Haram." While tho Rev. C. H. Sheldon, author of 'In His Steps," was editing tho Topeka Capital for one v week in order to show 'how Jesus would run a newspaper," E. W. Howe, the most prominent Kansas ed itor, published dally a "lay" sermon In tho State Journal, the rival paper to the Cap ital In Topeka. When Mr. Sheldon ac cepted the editorship for a week Mr. Howe offered to take his pulpit for a time, but this proposition waa not accepted. At the time Mr. Howe said: "I have not been Invited to occupy tho Rev. C. M. Sheldon's pulpit during tho week ho Is editing the Topeka Capital, but I have been invited to contribute a dally sermon to the Topeka Journal during the week Sheldon Is criticising newspapers. I do not wish to indulge In any ribald crit icism of the church or the clergy, but it eeems to me that a truthful comparison of the church and the newapapers would not bo out of place. "I believe Sheldon would be much better engaged in telling how Jesus would have preached than In telling how Jesus would have conducted a newspaper." "Ed" Howe and tho AtchiBon Globe are two of the most unique institutions in an unique state. Atchison is Itself an un usual town; a sleepy, tumble-down sort of place on the Missouri river, and only second to Leavenworth, a famous gate way to the "West in frontier days. In som nolence and decay. Atchison has a pop ulation of 16,000 people, and one news paper, the Globe. Two other newspapers famous in their day, the Champion and the Patriot, have worried themselves to death, Howe says. This leads to the fact that Howe Is the author of the "Don't Worry Club." Howe is a literary man of attainments, but he Is also a philosopher bred in the bone, and his religion is "don't worry." One ralry afternoon when he was loafing he propounded the rules and regulations of the club. They are certainly aa unique as Howe himself. These he published in a small book, which he will send to any one who wishes to join the club. He also I'ad a button made. In the center of which Is a blue spot, over which are the words, "Don't get" The New York Herald says he has sent thousands of both books and buttons to all parts of the country at no expense to those who asked for them. A woman in Alabama who had seen one of 3i!o "Don't Worry" books wrote to him that she was secretary of the "Cheerful Givers." In drawing up the constitution and by-laws for the club she found that the Ideas embodied were so like those of the "Don't Worries" that her club had decfaed to throw up its charter and Join Howe's organization. Ed. Howe's greatest fame came from his book, "The Story of a Country Town," which was written in 1SS1. and brought out by himself as publisher In 1SS3. It has been said that this book was the story of his own life. This, however, is true in a measure only. When it appeared it cre ated a sensation. W. D. Howells said of It, "A fiction which Is of tho kind most characteristic of our time, and which no etadent of our time hereafter can safely ignore." Mark Twain said: "When I read passages from it George W. Cablo shouted, 'Superb!' I like the 'Country Town' so much that I am glad of an op portunity to say so." The story is somber and is a picture of a Missouri crossroads town, with char acters that are immediately recognized by those familiar with life in the West away from cities. The story of "David Harum" nas been likened to it, although it is hard ly true that "David Harum" possesses tn cepin or Human emotion and real life de picted in "Tho Story of a Country Town." In his book Mr. Howe has written much of his peculiar quality of philosophy and the epigrams that appear in his newspaper everj' day. The book is so full of quot able things that it is difficult to choose those which will best show the character of his work in it and his point of view. A few gathered at random may be useful In judging of the character of this man, who has written a story that is typically Amei ican In a neighborhood sense. For In stance, he makes one of his characters say: "A man who mistreats a woman becomes a coward as I am, and I accept the Ig nominy as my punishment. I was bold as a lion when we were happy together, and could look any man in the face, but I cannot now, for I think that every one who looks at me is an accuser that I am worrying and fretting a helpless woman, which I believe to be the meanest crime of which a man can be guilty. I would not own a faith which would not save one I loved, and whom I knew to be honest and puremlnded. Hope Is often nothing more than an excuse for Incapacity and for mis takes, as we hope, in case of an accident caused by carelessness, that nothing seri ous will result, or as we hope, when we do not do our duty, that everything will turn out fortunately anyway. "The people were all overworked, and I still remember how the pale, unhappy women spoke in low and trembling tones at the experience meetings of heavy cross es to hear, and sat down crying as though their hearts were breaking. I was al ways touched by this pitiful proceeding, and I doubt not their petitions went fur ther into heaven than any of the others. "I am certain that he came In to let me know that he was addicted to drink, as he was very proud of that reputation, and, although liquor was revolting to him, he was always trying to create the Impres sion that he could not possibly let it alone." Howe Is a man of very clean and ab stemious habits, and the undaunted foe of whisky. In his book he has this to eay about the habit of intemperance: "The first step in a career of dissipa tion is not the first glass, as is sometimes asserted, but a cultivation of saloon so ciety. There is nsrthlng to do in a place -where drink is sold, no other amusement or excuse for being there, than to drink, gamb!e and gossip, and when a man learns to relish the undesirable company com mon to such places 'tht liquor habit fol lows as a matter of course, but not be fore. It Is an effort for most men to drink whisky, even after they have be i come accustomed to its use: it is natur ally disgusting to every good quality and every good thought; it jars every healthy nerve as it "is poured down the throat; It looks hot and devilish in the bottle, and gurgles like a demon's laugh while it is being poured out, and until the votinc men of the country are taught that drink ing is low and vicious rather than Intel lectual we cannot hope for a refoam in mis grave matter. "I believe that famlliarltv with it breeds contempt, for I have noticed that very few drunkards' sons follow in the footsteps of their fathers, and tho men who sell It seldom drink it Most drunk ards are such notorious liars that little can be told from their confessions, but If accurate statistics could be collected it would no doubt turn out that most mn having the habit formed it because they were particularly warned against It. To say to a man that he shall not drink cre ates withm him a strong desire to drink to excess, and prohibitory laws generally increase rather than decrease the con sumption of liquor because of this strange peculiarity. Wo Tegulate other evils, and admit they cannot be blotted out, but with strange inconsistency we Insist that liquor of every kind must be driven from the face of the earth, that t regulate such a horrible evil Is a compromise with the devil, and that efforts for its exter mination only are worthy of temperate men and women." Mr. Howo believes In the gospel of hard Tvork. The type foa the first edition of a his book he sot with his own hands, after be naa woritea ail aay on his newspaper, and not & line of tho whole work was written by the light of day. He is said to be a "one-book" man, in that he has written one good book and never another. To this accusation he replies that his newspaper occupies so much of his time that he has none left for the pleasures and pains of authorship. But he Is the author also of "A Moonlight Boy," "Tho Mystery of the Locks," "A Man Story," "An. Ante-Mortem Statement" and "The Confession of John Whltlock, Late Preacher of the Gospel." Mr. Howe goes Into politics because he is a newspaper man. His usefulness in that direction lies in Tils ability to hit ac curately and fatally at the 6hams and hy pocrisies of politics as well as those of business, society and religion. Personally Mr. Howe Is a middle-aged man with the face of a boy. His daugh ter is prominent in Kansas society. His success is largely due to his Industry. Many persons have remarked at the vast number of original epigrammatic and phil osophic paragraphs he is capable of pro ducing in a day in his newspaper. Tho answer is simple; he is a "mixer." No one can make a remark in his hearing that contains the germ or suggestion of one of these paragraphs that Jie does not use it. Ho works all the time. Early in the morning he starts for his office and stops to chat with every one he knows, and this he continues all day until he goes home at night. The result is a great amount of matter valuable to a newspaper such as he produces. His especial department is a column called "globe sights," paragraphs from which are copied by appreciative exchange editors all over the country. But he Is not above bringing Into the office every day a great number of personal para graphs, local news Items and advertise ments. Some of hln paragraphs are tho essence of humor, others are caustic, and all show a great faculty for keen observa tion, and a vast knowledge of the weak nesses of women. An for the latter Howo has been called a woman hater, but he is not. He knows every woman in town, and when they meet him on the street they stop to pass the time of day with him, well knowing that they are sure to drop something that will appear in the Globe that night. It Is in this manner that Mr. Howe Is able to write so many paragraphs about women. Bat he la equally hard on the men, and sometimes is not so good natured. Lato every day, just before the paper goes to press, Howe goes Into the com posing room and corrects the last galleys and justifies the last columns. Should a news paragraph come In over the tele phone he goes to the case, sets it up him self and slips it into a column. One of the last things he does is to set a lino in large type to run entirely across the first page. This line Is generally tho epitome of what Is largely occupying his mind. One day not long ago this charac teristic line appeared: "The defeat of tho Boers in South Africa will make chin whiskers more unpopular than ever." Tho origin of Howe's top line is somewhat absurd. Howe's forms do not fit the press. The forms are too short. Howe took to setting up a humorous or caustic line with type high enough to make them equal. The other newspapers In the country around thought this a clever and original innovation and copied it until they learned tho truth. Howe's greatest pleasure is music. Sev eral times a year he goes away for a short time to enjoy It. When grand opera is being sung in St, Louis or Chicago he takes a short holiday, and goes where il Is, and, as ho says, "wallows In music" A short time ago he gave a reception to a friend of his from Colorado. For the en joyment of his friend, as great a lover of music as himself, he sent to the neigh boring cities of Omaha, Kansas City and St. Louis for musicians, and got together a great orchestra. Tho Atchison Corn Carnival, which occurs every Autumn, was Inspired by him, and is managed by him. For this he employs every available mu sician In the 'surrounding country, and organizes them Into bands for the edifica tion of the people. , Another of Howe's amusements is a trip to Montana to shoot bears, and in his den, which is a cottage In the yard occupied by his residence, the floors and walls are covered with the skins of victims of his prowess. In the Summer he comes to New Tork to hear Sousa's band play at Man hattan Beach. This is an old habit of hist, for ho used to come to hear Gllmore when he wielded the baton at the same place. Howe's father was a preacher and a suc cessful revivalist In spite of this, Howo is not In sympathy with modern church methods. THE ROSE. Kissed by ach sportive breeze that blew. It at my window blossomed- fair; A lovely rose of crimaDn hue. Shedding: its sweetness oa the air; A regal rose! No fairer flower E'er bloomed in Flora's fragrant bower. Alas! the tempest, fierce and loud. Swept o'er the smiling, tranquil vale; The stately trees their proud heads bowed Before the rushing, forceful gale; With tossing wrath, with angry dart. It smote my rose's glowing heart. The storm passed with the moraine tide. And radiant shone the golden noon, From tr and flower and meadow wld The light flashed on the dancing stream. That dimpling glanced with answering gleam. But, ah! the rose, the glowing rose! "What power shall make It bloom again? Crushed by the tempest's cruel blows. It droops upon Its broken stem; No more the zephyrs In their play. Shall kiss the rose's tear away. So with the radiant dreams of youth, ' So with the hopes of later years; The dream that bore the stamp of truth May vanish In a mist of tears; And jHope's fair flower, with fragrance sweet, Ue crushed, and broken at our feet. .

Operas, muslcales and plays; We hear them whistled on. the street By the rich, poor, sad and gay. But the old-time songs of long ago "Will ne'er dim nor pass away. There were "Ontle Annie." '"Annie Laurie. "My Old Home In Tennessee." "Away Down South In Dixie Land," "iTolIy Darling." "Bessie L?e": "Dalay Dean" and "Darling Mabel." "Xot for Joe." "Old Uncle Ned": "My Old Kentucky Home" and "Maggie May,". "Put Ma in My Little Bed." The elnger on the minstrel stage Must sing the popular songs. Like "My Jofiephlnc." "Is You My Babyf To please tlw frivolous throngs. , J. But, goodness! How I'd like to hear Those dear, sweet songs of old. "In the Evening by the Moonlight." , "Silver Threads Among the Gold." ' Folks now want the ragtime muslo; They don't want tho "Silver Moon. And will suro maka fun of grandma. If she hums an old-time tune. In my heart I thank the author It makes no difference where I roam For giving us the dear old ballads. "Down In tho Com Field," "Old Folks afi Home." We may cross the grand old ocean. Raven locks be changed to white, , But the old songs. learned In childhood. Bring back memories of delight. And tho world seems really brighter. Makes the heart feel all aglow, That we have not ceased to love them Those cweet songs of long ago. Lue Vernon. 4 o t now Considerate!
