The Atchison Globe editor Edward W Howe retires after thirty three years shaping witty pithy epigrams. He plans to move to Potato Hill near Atchison with his son to run a small periodical Smith's Quarterly and do all work himself.
Davis Elkins has been named by Governor Glasscock to fill the West Virginia Senate vacancy after the death of his father Stephen T. Elkins. At about thirty five he is seen as a rich man's son not spoiled by wealth and awaiting legislative trust to prove his ability.
The piece portrays Benator Davis Eleiss as a rising figure in West Virginia politics and industry. Born into the Elkins empire, he is linked to senator Henry Gassaway Davis and the 1904 Parker ticket through lineage. He studied civil engineering at Harvard and rose to director and president roles in the Morgantown and Kingwood Railroad and Mikins Coal Company. He served as a captain with General Schwan in Porto Rico during the Spanish American War. If Republicans regain the West Virginia Legislature by 1918, observers foresee Eleiss succeeding his father.
