IF YOU DON'T WATCH OUT,'

| L -
There's jolly man a comm
So my friends. you'd best beware,
Lest the joy of politicians
Should not be yours to share
Not google eyed fanatic
With thirst for gain and power
Is raging down the highway
Seeking whom he may devour;
Just local option speaker
With his troupe of singing coons,
To draw the people in his wake
Like flock of crazy looms.
linen harness up old Dobbin
And take your girl along
And listen to the speaker
No matter if he's wrong.
He'll strike at Prohibition,
y A mighty tellin' blow;
And tho you don't agree with him
The "coons" are there, you know.
He'll tell you that intemperance
Is no damage to the State
And our leading Prohibitionists
Are sneaks" that stand and wait,
To rob you of your freedom
To do just as you pleased,
And with High License sail away
On flowery beds of ease
He'll say little stimulant"
OF the very choicest brand
Should be in reach for everyone
Throughout this goodly land
But if at home an employee
Looks on the wine when it is red,
This magnate gathers up the axe
And slices off his head. "
Oh, woe to Prohibition
Beyond a shade of doubt,
The License man'll get you
If you don't watch outl'

THE BORO' OF PROCTOR.

The boro' of Proctor was the crea-
tion of business and personal political
expediency. 1t was formerly part
of the old town of Rutland, and was
set off from that municipality at the
instance of the Proctor interest by the
Legislature of 1888. Being the head
quarters of the Vermont Marble Com
pany, it was desired to create boro'
over which the members of that COR
poration could exercise direct personal
control for the protection of their in
terests there. Very likely any other
individual or associated interest would
have sought the same isolation very
likely none other could have succeed.

Proctor is a boro', not a town.
There is the form of a town govern
ment, but the men of the Vermont
Marble Company are as completely
in control of all town affairs as Of the
immediate business affairs of their
company. The boro' officers are those
whom the dominant interest nomi-
mates; the Representative to the Gen
eral Assembly is the man the Proc
tors select, and i'll that body, on all
measures Immediately or remotely
affecting the interests of the Vermont
Marble Company, this Representative
as obediently executes the will of his
real constituency as does the business
representative of the Marble Company
in New York or any other business
center in the country. Possibly this
is right, and for the best interests of
all concerned. The morality of the
matter, the desirability of this state
of things, its conformity to the prin-
ciples of republican government its
bearing on the affairs of the State at
large, there is no need of discussing
in this connection

pay deducted at the next monthly pay
day. What tradesman would not like
a "cinch" like this The fred en-
velope" enclosing statement of &C
count, generally covering the months
wages, is the usual course of things
on pay day. Comparatively little &C.
tual cash is passed along to the wage
Garner. 1t is the closest kind of
close corporation. The bulk of the
pay roll never leaves the treas urer's
Office. The employer is both paymas-
ter and receiver of the bulk of the
wage earner's money. Thus the en-
ployer makes a comely profit on his
own pay roll

For the most part the workmen S
residences at Proctorboro' are the
property of the Marble Company for
all public improvements, for streets
and highways, sidewalks, water and
sewer systems, schools and fire protec-
ton, and all the multiplied require
ments of municipality, are paid for
by taxation to which the wage Garner
is made to contribute-must contrib
ute-to the extent of the tax rate as
sessed on a grand list made up by list
ers practically appointed by the imam
or set of men" directly interested in
the Vermont Marble Company.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1902-05-21

Possibly, we repeat, this is the best
thing for Proctorboro', but it is not
exactly republican. 1t is township
practically owned and controlled, both
politically and commercially, like a
dukedom of Europe, in which "a sim
gle man, family, or set of men" is the
dominating influence. And the at
tempt in the pending canvass is to ex-
tend this influence over pa other real,
free and independent municipalities
of Vermont and make the State a
Kingdom.

Proctor is boro' of some $500 in
habitants, for the most part the en-
ployees of the Vermont Marble Com

the mills, shops, dwellings of employ
ees, store buildings, etc., etc.

In Proctorboro' one mammoth cor

luxuries as he can afford to have

Is this boro' like any other munich
pality having so large a population,
in which so vast a business, employ
ing small army of men, is conducted?
Are there general grocery or provision
stores, meat markets, dry goods, cloth
ing or hardware stores, or any other
of the various branches of trade such
as are conducted in any municipality
where trade, as well as the citizens,
are free and independent Such,
for example, as in Barre, city in
which a large quarrying and finish
ing business is done in granite, and
in which every branch of trade is rep
resented by individual enterprise? In
which the wage earner's money is
paid directly to him and he obeys the
common law of trade in buying where
he can - or thinks he can-get the
most for his money? Communities
which, by the division of trade, by
the freedom and independence of indi-
vidual enterprise, have become large,
populous and thriving? In which the
farmers in the country round about
find customers for their milk and but.
ter, their fruit and vegetables, and
other products of their farms?
