Genius In Indiana
Writers Developed
By Editor Howland
WAS BOYHOOD CHUM OF THE
FAMOUS PENROD AUTHOR
BOOTH TARKINGTON
HOWLAND EDITOR OF MAGAZINE
Many Incidents which Tarking Por
trayed Were Taken from
Everyday Life.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 30. (/P)—Be
j hind the genius ot a group of Indiana
writers who carried the Hoosier state
to the fore in a generation in con
temporary authorship, there has been
revealed the hand of Hewitt Hanson
Howland, new editor of The Century
Magazine. Howland, as editor of the
BobbsdVlerrill Publishing Company
from 1900 to 1925, discovered and
! put before the country the first works
of half a dozen Indian,ians.
Boyhood chum of Booth Tarking
ton and confidant of hall dozen other
embryo literary artists. Howland’s
sponsorship of many famous writers
was not revealed until he was named
to succeed Glenn Frank, who has
become president of Wisconsin Uni
versity.
Many of the incidents of boyhood
1 which Tarkington has portrayed were
| from the every-day life of the com
; panions. Tarklington, when not ar
| ranging barn loft shows, was im
! mersed in a book, Howland related,
| and throughout his young manhood
I he read widely and well, building the
background for his literary success.
As the editor began his Indianapolis
association, James Whitcomb Riley
was publishing his first volume of
poems, a tiny pamphlet put out by
an Indianapolis newspaper to which
Riley was a contributor. Howland
sa wth genius of Riley and encour
aged it. The relationship game impe
tus to the young publishing house
and started Riley on ihe road to
fame.
Gene Stratton Porter, with a know
ledge and love of nature, came from
her “Limberlost” estate in northern
Indiana to Howland with her first
book, “The Song of the Cardinal.”
After a number of New York pub
lishers refused Mary Roberts Rhine
hart’s first effort, “The Circular Stair
case,” Howland accepted it, rushing
to Pittsburgh overnight to get Mrs.
Rhinehart’s name to a contract.
Brand Whitlock as a Chicago news
paper reporter and a student of poli
tics paved the way for his first
book, “The Thirteenth t>istrict.”
Howland heard of it an dwent to
Toledo, then Whitlock’s home, read
the manuscript, accepted and pub
lished the book.
From a Syracuse, N. Y. newspaper
man, came a manuscript, filled with
adventure, humor and characteriza
tion. It was “The Puppet Crown,’” in
embryo, and heralded the arrival of
a new writer—Harold McGrath.
George Barr McCutcheon, a news
paper man, brought from Lafayette,
Ind., the manuscript for his first
novel, “Graustark.”
“The writer must be a story tell
er; he must have a background of
good reading and he must be wail
ing to work long and hard. If he has
these things he can succeed,” says
Mr. Howland.
Rome Runs Out of Names
for Its Many New Streets
BUILDING PROGRESSING VERY
RAPIDLY IN SUBURBAN
DISTRICTS.
ROME, Oct. 30. (/P)—Building is
progressing so rapidly, particularly in
certain surburban sections of the
city, that the municipal authorities -
are unable to keep pace in furnish- «
ing names for the streets and num
bers for the houses.
