Vermont Life Insurance PoIleyhoIders
Urged to Combine Against orafters.

There is only one way TO secure fairness
and honesty In the management OF life
insurance. The policy holders must pro-
tect themselves
1t is evident that the grafters and rob-
bers and salary grabbers OF the insurance
companies propose to hold on to their
offices until forced out.
Protest and condemnation and demands
that they retire fall unheeded upon deaf
ears and shameless consciences.
No single policy holder, working alone
can do any good. He Is as helpless as a
man on a log in mid-ocean. Only organl-
cation can have any effect. The one man
power, by control of proxies, must be
strangled It Is still exercising It's car
ship in all the grating companies as
strong as ever.
propose a state organization OF holders
Of life insurance policies to protect the
great and vital interests which all policy
holders have In these sacred trusts which
we really own.
We not only want to protect ourselves
from the reckless use of our money for
unlawful purposes, but the reckless use OF
II for lawful purposes, such as extrav-
agant management, particularly In the
payment of colossal salaries, which these
robbers vote to themselves by our per-
mission. That these salaries are not
earned and never have been is clearly
shown by their own testimony Of their
dellnquences. lack OF knowledge, and law
lessness In the management OF our money.
II the policy holders OF the different
states-in large states by minor division
will form organizations to take united
action they can resume control Of their
own money and enforce honesty in place
of robbery.

The Windsor public library has received
an engrossed and framed copy Of Bis
marks tribute to Vermont, delivered In

republic. | think you will grant that 1
am somewhat OF a student OF political his
tory. My idea Of a republic Is a little
state in the north OF your great country
the smallest of the New England states

At this one American said, mot Mas

piled In these words:
"Ah no. Vermont Is small In area, of
slow growth has a larger percentage Of
school attendance than any other state
Is not devoted to manufactures nor so
much to farming as to make Its interests
political, owes nothing to the general
government for civil war expenses. and
aims primarily and purely at the educa-
tlonal and religious evolution Of each in
dividual. Is II not true that this little
state keeps Its senator's and representa-
tives In office term after term until they

Filled with pride in their state. one Of
the visitors said:
Your excellency, two of rs are gradu-
ates OF the University of Vermont, and
one OF us claims that state az his birth
place"
Bismark rose and said: Gentlemen, you
should be most proud of your lnheri-
lance. To be a son OF Vermont Is glory
enough for the greatest citizen"
This singular tribute, delivered by a
man of Blsmark's unchallenged greatness
might well be preserved in every school
room and every public library in Vermont

Suit Against Millionaire.

A peculiar suit has been brought by
Sylvester A. Ploof OF Burlington against
II. w. Putnam, a New York millionaire.
who owns an island on Lake Champlain.
Ploof made a living by running a sloop
crossing the lake recently a sudden storm
came up, and Ploof steered for Putnam
island, where the owner had a private
wharf. He had barely time to tie his sloop
to the wharf before the storm broke in
all its fury. Ploof alleges that Albert
Harris. the caretaker OF the island. cast
of the lines and compelled him to drift.
His sloop was wrecked on the rocks, and
he with his wife and six small children
narrowly escaped from drowning and
reached land after great hardship Ploof
is a poor man and his sloop was his only
means of support.
