Congressman Frank L. Greene is

ever he speaks and it matters little
whether it be to newspaper men or
bankers. This has no political sig
nifcance as the man Was always a

'dience.- Waterbury Record.
We have sometimes imagined -
wrongfully perhaps-that Congress
man Frank L. Greene was more of a
heavyweight and popular fellow
among his many Vermont friends
than he really was in Congress. This
is why we would dislike to see him
usurp the position of Senator C, S.
Page. We say this gently as poss-
IDLY we do not realize how great a
man Frank L. Greene may be. We
know words can flow from his pen
and mouth like water from a sieve,
and that he is we'll liked; but these
are not all the essentials required for
the making of strong senator.

the great political contest which is
now coming on.
Great and awful events are hap
pening in the world and it behooves
each state to select safe and patri-
otto pilot to steady and strengthen
the hands of the Federal govern
ment and if possible cause it to avoid
becoming involved in the insane
struggles now cursing civilization,
and if avoidance without dishonor is
impossible then we shall need a gov
ernor with a backbone similar to
those who saved the country in 81.
The writer believes that the Hon.
Frank Plumley of Mortified comes
as near filling all these requirements,
both as to equipment and available
ity, as anyone who can be found,
provided he can be induced to be-
come a candidate. The fact that he
has recently voluntarily retired from
congress and public life for a much
needed rest and that he is compare
lively poor man ought not to pre-
JUDGE him in the eyes of the people.
No doubt if the call of the people is
insiStent and loud enough his pro-
nounced patriotism will override his
inclinations and judgment and cause
him to consent to obey the call.
Therefore, the writer favors the
recall of Mr.. Plumley from private
life to be our next governor, believ-
ing that his intimate acquaintance
with Vermont affairs and the broad
ening influence of his congressional
and otherwise public career, togeth-
err with his widely recognized clean
public and private life, constitute
him an ideal candidate of patriotic
and progressive people.
The people selected Governor Gates
and no mistake was made.
Let the people try again.
A FARMER.

A Letter,
ESSEX COUNTY HERALD:

ESSEX COUNTY HERALD:
Under our biennial election sys-
tenn, the time is near at hand when
we should be casting about to find q
suitable person to succeed our pres
ent capable and efficient Governor
Gates.
While there is a considerable
amount Of governorship timber
growing in the state and which in
due time will become matured, the
supply of really fine, ripe and avail
able timber to meet all the present
conditions is rot so abundant.
1t may be considered as settled
under our time-honored custom of
reciprocity between the east and
west sides of the Greer. Mountains
that our next governor will be Sc
lected from the east side, as Gov,
Gates comes from the west side, and
also from a comparatively central
part of the east side, the northern
and southern extremes having each
recently furnished a governor.
Gov. Gates has set pace that de-
mands as his successor a man of
marked ability, ripe experience and
pronounced progressive ideas upon
both state and national issues. 1t
may be safely assumed also that the
next elections, state and national,
will be red hot" from start to fin.

ped campaigner at the head of our
state ticket will insure our state a
position in the foremost ranks of

bottom of the ocean rs miles off the
Fastnet, by the German submarine
U-68, it is just possible that the
presence on board the Canadian
liner of a woman and her baby
saved the crew from being sent to
join other submarine victims. For
the first time the story of the Mid
land Queen is being told. On July
81 the Midland Queen, with Cap
tain A. Canton in command, cleared
from Sydney, C. B., for England.
All went we'll until 4:30 on the
morning of August A. Their worst
fears were realized at 4:30 a. m. on
August 4. The submarine U-68,
painted zebra-Ike in a darkish
color and white, rose to the surface
a mile and a half astern of the Mid
land Queen.
No sooner had the crew of the
steamer been summoned to stations
than the German underwater craft
opened fire from her deck gun.
Like popping corks she spat three
shells at the Midland Queen. One
passed between the mainmast and
the funnel, but the others dropped
short. AS the submarine was travel
ing eighteen knots an hour to the
Midland Queens nine, the Canadian
captain ordered his engineer to shut
off steam. As the steamer was
slowing up the captain ordered his
crew to take to the boats. The
last boatload was just leaving when
the submarine came up pretty close
with crew ready for action.
Mrs. Crossan, the wife of the
chief engineer, was then getting
down the rope ladder with her
twelve-months-old babe. Like a
mother, she was apprehensive of
the danger to her baby, and, taking
the little one in her arms, she
waved him before the eyes of the
commander of the submarine.
The response was that the gun
crew were called below and the
crew of the Midland Queen, then
ahoat in two ships boats were
ordered to row fifty yards from the
steamer. The command was being
carried out when Engineer Crossan,
whose home is in Toronto, caught
sight of the black cook of the Mid
land Queen shouting piteously for
help from the back of the steamer.
He had been inadvertently left
behind. By this time six shots

lid
at the Midland Queen, four astern
around the engine room, one amid
ships and the other near the fore
peak. Crossan in his boat ap-
preached the submarine and asked
permission from the commander to
take the cook off. A German Of
fficer answered the engineers salute
and told him to get alongside the
Midland Queen as quick as possible.
No time was wasted, and the cook,
in a frantic condition, was taken
off.
Within seventeen minutes Of the
firing of the shots the Midland
Queen sank, her dynamos running,
her whistle blowing and the Union
Jack flying.
The next day had we'll advanced
and the crews in the boats were
nigh exhausted when the Norwegian
steamer Edna hoved in sight. Dis
tress signals were shown, and very
soon the members of the Midland
Queen were taken aboard the Nor
wegian vessel. from whose captain
and crew they received the best of
attention until they were reshipped
to a British cruiser and taken to
Queenstown.
