Both Good Men

Vermont apparently will have to decide
between Judge Charles H. Darling and
Frank E. Howe, as to which they will
vote for to be governor. The News thinks
Judge Darling the better candidate for
this high Office. Judge Darling now real
ICES he has no mean foe in Frank Howe.
Things will move along inState matters,
no matter which is chosen. 1t is well to
remember this fact. Readers have had a
chance to know each candidates plat.
form. Judge Darling stands equivocally
stitutional amendment providing for ma
tien-wide prohibition. Frank Howe says
nothing about this in his published plat
form. Good men differ on tdis point.
One good citizen OF Mortified put it this
way to the News nan the other day:
Judge Darlings prohibition part of his
platform will not get my vote" No
doubt there are many who think the
same as this fellow did. On the other
hand this very stand of the Judge will
get him many votes. At any rate, he
stood up and was counted on this issue.
If Judge Darling and Frank Howe would
sit down and talk it over, they would
find themselves pretty near together on
many State issues. One might just as
properly call Frank Howe a socialist as
to refer to Judge Darling as a corpora
ton lawyer. They are both decent men,
land you can lay to that."-Northheld

WEST OF vERDUN, Oct. 1.-THE latest
American ace is Lieut.. william Erwin,
who. though an observer and therefore
not supposed to engage in fighting, has

The Lieutenant was on an observa-
ton trip with Lieut.. Esterbrook. who
also was cited. when he met an enemy
plane and forced II to retire. A moment
later he met three Germans over
Varennes, broke up the formation and
forced IL to retire. Then he ran into
two more German machines directing
Infantry laison. and finally a biplane
over Sommerance. Lieut.. Erwin wounded
or killed the observer and then Ester
brook closed with the plane. It was
sent crashing down.
Returning TO his observing mission,
Lieut.. Erwin carried It out successfully.

gained one In the st. Mihiel fighting
and the other four during the present

become a habit with Lieut.. Erwin to
engage as many enemy planes as pos
sible in conjunction with his daily OBJ
servation work.
The first American aviation pursuit
squadron completed its tooth successive
victory Thursday night with "Boche
strafing raid" which Melted six ma

LONDON, Oct. 1l.-Entertaining the
visiting American editors at luncheon
at the Times offices Thursday Lord
Northcliffe said:
In America last year We wondered
at the strange phenomenon of the rising
young men of that nation. many resident
a thousand miles from the sea, being
drawn by some mysterious instinct to
leave their prosperous careers to come
across the Atlantic. Their crusade was
one OF the great miracles OF the world.
Public opinion had become unani-
nous In America, not because they had
anything to get out of the war but be-
cause of the overwhelming instinct to
rise to the cause of justice.
I'VE never use the word foreigner
In referring to Americans in this coun-
try" Lord Northcliffe added. 1--WE re-
gard you as ourselves"
DR.. Edward J. Wheeler, New York,
replied to the toast, and F. F. Glass,
birmingham. Ala. describing his voyage
across the Atlantic, said THE only
fear among the 1900 American troops
aboard our ship was that the war might
he finished before they arrived in
France"
