Following high school graduation, Felts entered the University of Illinois at Champaign. In college Felts became the “Campus Scout,” the author of a humorous column about college happenings. This position at the university was also held by Gene Shalit, Allen Sherman, and others who later pursed careers in broadcasting and journalism. After receiving an A.B. from the University of Illinois in 1923, Felts became a reporter for the Louisville (Kentucky) Courier Journal. From 1923 until 1926, he worked as a sports editor for the Illinois State Register in Springfield, Illinois, and then served briefly as a United Press reporter. Following a year of post-graduate study at Harvard University, Felts returned to Springfield in 1928 and became an editorial writer and columnist.

He became editorial page editor for the Decatur Herald and Review in 1958 and two years later, he was editorial page editor for the entire Lindsay-Schaub chain. Felts also wrote his own column, called “Second Thoughts.” The column contained folksy reminiscences about past events and observations on current affairs. Felts officially retired in 1967, but he continued to write his column three times a week for the Lindsay-Schaub newspapers. The column ran until Felts’ real retirement at the age of seventy-five. In 1975, Felts moved to Ft. Pierce, Florida, with his wife. Felts died in March of 1985. Felts, who was interested in local and state history, was a long time member of the Illinois State Historical Society. He served as Society director from 1980 to 1983 and was elected vice-president in 1983. In July 1958, Felts was appointed by Governor William G.

The image includes an autograph reading, "Your friend Richard Yates." On verso: "To my son. To urge you to close attention to business, to economy and sobriety, to be good and do good in Christian faith, to work hard and always to keep up a good heart and hope for the work that is before you." "The History of the Above Writing by Richard Yates [II]. One day, in 1903, I sat in the quiet office in the Mansion provided by the State of Illinois, for its Governor, when, all of the sudden, one of the secretaries came to me and said: 'Do you happen to have in this room a blank book? We need one for some of our work, and need it now. Of course we can send to a store and buy one. But time is precious, perhaps you have one here.' I replied, 'In that corner, over there, you will find a pile of large blank books, left by my Father. They are forty years old, but some of them have excellent paper.' Presently, the secretary returned and said: 'May we have this one? It suits our purpose.' I replied, 'Yes, but let me be sure it is blank.' I rapidly turned the pages, and lo, in the very center of the book, was a page with writing on it - the only page in the whole book which was not blank. Of course I read it, for it was in the handwriting of my Father, dead and gone for thirty years- his death having occurred in 1873, when I was only 13 years old. Here is what that writing said; here it is, as he wrote it, framed by me, after I had cut it out." "I know not whether this was written about 1863, when I was little and he was thinking much of me; or whether it was written about 1853, when his second son was little, and he was thinking much of him; or whether it was written about 1843, when his first-begotten son was small; the idol of his young manhood. But this one thing I do know; it was addressed 'to my son'; and so I have the right to take it and appropriate it to myself. How like a message from beyond the grave; aye, even from the realms of light, it seemed to me, that day! It still seems so. I love to believe and do believe, that no one saw these words until I did; that he was sitting alone, in that midnight hour, which brings that rare and radiant moment, when the wrought-up brain conveys high thought to shining pen; and that he wrote these words, and then closed the book, and wrapt the curtains of his couch around him, and laid him down to pleasant dreams -- and that the next eye to behold these lines was mine." "So help me, it has always seemed like an Oath of peculiar sanctity, administered to me in a sacred way, and when ever I read it, I feel as if I stood on the Holy Ground, and that I must, as I do, answer: 'Father, my Father, I have read and I understand, and I promise and vow, to keep the Faith."
