Author, Editor Ed Howe Passes
 Away at Home
Sage of Potato Hill,' Who Sold Advice, Dies
 After Useful Years

ATCHISON, Kansas, Oct. 4.-Ed- gar Watson Howe, 84, noted author and editor, known as the Sage Of Potato Hill, died last night at his home here. He made his living and gained a large measure of his fame by giving advice-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 responsibility He preached without pretense, without fuss, and in direct and simple language. Many who read his writings felt that they had been stripped bare and left exposed in the market place.
 In Limelight
 It was through the Atchison (Kansas) Globe, which he founded in 1877, that Ed Howe first became known. His homely philosophy and unique style intrigued his readers and they delighted 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.
 MT. Howe retired as publisher of the Globe in 1914. He was succeeded { by a company, stock of which was owned by employees with controlling interest vested in his son, Eugene A. Howe, who became editor.
 Personal Views
 From that time publication of Ed Howes Monthly" served as the fathers recreation and as a vehicle for the expression of his personal views It had readers in all parts of the world, including such extremes as John D. Rockefeller and H. c. Wells. The editors own description of this publication was "A journal of indignation and education"
 In addition to his own magazine, steady contributions to number of leading magazines and syndicated writing for daily newspapers occu- pied much of the small town philo- sopher's time.
 MT. 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

YALE ALUMNUS
 NEW PRESIDENT
(Continuad from Page lJ

(Continued from Page lJ after several years abroad, and g full professor in 1913. As result ol one of his first published works Diplomatic Background of the War" he was appointed by Presi' dent Wilson as a member Of the American commission to negotiate peace.
 Friend of Col. House
 While serving on the commission he became a close friend Of Col Edward M. House and later his bi- ographer.
 When Col. House turned over to Yale his collections of World War documents and memorabilia, Dr. Seymour became its curator, and he compiled four volumes from the intimate papers of President Will sons closest advisor.
 He served as chairman of the history department from 1923-2' and was made provost in 1927, as- suming responsibility for maintain ing the universitys educational standards during the depression period.
 While provost he was elected as chairman of the Council of Masters of the Undergraduate Colleges, and master of Berkeley College.
 Has Medal of Honor
 Dr. Seymour is a former editor of the American Historical Review and holds the medal of honor of the University of Brussels, where in 1924 he was an exchange profes- sor. Honorary degrees were con- ferred upon him by Western Re- serve University and Trinity Col lege.
 He was married in 1911 to Gladys Marion Watkins, Scranton, Pa, a sister of a classmate. They have three children.
 Dr. Seymour is a member of an old and distinguished Yale family His father, Tyomasday Seymour was Hillhouse professor of Greek and literature for many years Thomas Clap, Yale president from 174O-l776 was his great-great grand father, and Jeremiah Day, president from 1877 until 1846, was his great uncle.
 Dr. Angell No Alumnus
 Dr. Angell, whom he succeeds was the first president not to be ar alurnnus. He was elected in 1921, al time when the university was be- ginning a huge expansion ant building program and when thu after-eects of the war were frest in mind. He was a former dean al Chicago University and was heae of Carnegie Corporation when hi election was announced.
 Under his business administration millions were spent in replacement and the house plan of separate col leges was copied from Harvard.

his private insistence has been that there must be no compromise-.that he wants judicial reform as pro- posed in the bill now before the senate and house judiciary com mittees. Designations from the Supreme Court, however, would diminish the urgency of that portion of the bill relating to the highest bench.
 Cummings emphasized last night that expansion of the Supreme Court need not necessarily follow enactment of the presidents bill.
 Tt is true," he said, "that the presidents proposal may possibly but not necessarily have the effect of increasing the size of hte Supreme Court. If there is any in- crease in the total number of judges it will be due entirely to the fact that judges now of retirement age elect to remain on the bench"
 Four Judicial System Defects
 Closely following MT. Roosevelt's arguments in behalf of the legisla- tion, Cummings continued:
 "These four defects of our judi cial system--delays and congestion in the courts, aged and tnfirm jurists, the chaos created by con- flicting decisions and the reckless use of the injunctive power, and the need for new blood in the judiciary are dealt with by the president in his message on Feb.5 in which he submits 8 simple well rounded comprehensive and workable system which covers all these points and meets all these needs.
 That the freedom of our people to direct their own destiny has been hampered especially of late, by judi cial action is scarcely open to debate These limitations upon Congression- al power have brought into chal- lenge a wide range of projects and measures overwhelming approved by the people.

 BACKED BY GOV.

New Haven, Conn.,. Feb. 15-(UP) Expressing "heartiest approval of 8 state jail farm system, Governor Wilbur L. Cross today asserted op- position to such program comes from persons "who have no interest in anyone but themselves"
 A hearing on the proposal was scheduled for tomorrow by the ju- dietary committees of the general assembly.
 "The opposition to the jail farm.' '' Governor Cros ssaid, "comes from various county organizations and county politicians who have no in- terest in the welfare of anyone but themselves.
 Because the jail farm would take inmates away from county jails throughout the state of Connecticut. some county commissioners are afraid that the adoption of the jail farm would not give them as much to do. A number of sheriffs are op- posed for the same reason.
