He made 'his living and gained a large measure of his fame by giving advlye a commodity for which few people find a market. For more than 50 'years Ed Howe, , as he preferred to be known, preached the doctrine of success (and respectability. He preached without pretence, without fuss, and tin direct and simple language. iMany who read his writings felt 'that they had been stripped bare and left exposed in the market places It was through the Atchison (Kansas) Globe, which he founded ln 1877, that Ed Howe first became known. His homely philosophy and unique style intrigued his readers and they delighter In quoting his newspaper. When he was in his twenties he wrote "The Story of A Country Town," a novel which still has a steady sale. His subsequent writings made him an international figure though no subsequent book was as good as his first. Mr. Howe retired as publisher of the Globe In 1914. He was succeed- ed by a company, stock of which was owned by employees with controlling Interest vested In his son, Eugene A. Howe, who became edi tor. From- that time publication of "Ed Howe's Monthly" served as the father's recreation and as a vehicle for the expression of his personal views. It had readers In all parts of the world, Including such ex tremes as John D. Rockefeller and II. G. Wells. The editor's own description of this publication was "A Journal of Indignation and edu cation." In addition to his own magazine steady contributions to a number of leading magazines and syndicat ed writing for dally newspapers occupied much of the small town philosopher's time. Mr. Howe was born near Treaty, Ind., May 3, 1854. As a youth he learned the printing trade and worked in various newspaper shops In the middle west. He published newspapers in Golden, Colo., and Falls City, Neb., before he founded The Atchison Olobe.
