Work or Being Worked? 
To the Editor of the North Shore Breeze: 
The article in last week’s Cricket 
signed “ One Republican ”’ supporting 
the six members of the Town Com- 
mittee who are opposing Mr. Shaw, 
gives as the reason for such support the 
arrangement entered into by which 
the smaller towns are represented 
when their turn comes. 
Now it strikes me that the efforts 
of our town committee along this line 
have not been particularly successful. 
In fact their position in this case is 
very much like that of the old man in 
Rockport who had a yoke of oxen that 
got along splendidly together although 
one was lazy, as the other one was 
perfectly willing to do all the work and 
the lazy one was perfectly willing he 
should, and they never had an argu- 
ment about it. 
We have been working for Glouces- 
ter in this way for a quarter of a cen- 
tury and the major part of our com- 
mittee seem to be perfectly willing to 
keep it up ad infinitum. 
Now, Mr. Editor, the only difference 
between this ‘one republican’s”’ posi- 
tion and mine is simply the difference 
of “ working and being worked.” 
The men who are back of Mr. Shaw 
are opposed to being worked any long- 
er and propose to let the citizens of 
Manchester know just how the matter 
stands, believing that in view of the 
undisputed facts that Mr. Shaw will 
get the nomination by a very large 
majority.

NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
The Modern Woodchuck. 
(Written for the BREEZE) 
This town is surely up-to-date, 
Improvements we have galore. 
These facts are known that I now state 
Along the whole North Shore. 
With electric lights we are well equipped, 
We have “ Gamewell’s fire alarm,” 
And lawless ones are promptly whipped 
To keep the good from harm. 
And when you speed your motor car, 
The woodchuck in his den 
Posts up the log like any tar 
And marks the speed you’ve been. 
And in the bush just o’er the hill 
Is woodchuck number two; 
The little bell that’s ringing shrill 
Tells him to collar you. 
He takes your number, age and name, 
Your pedigree complete ; 
Just tell the truth, he knows his game, 
With facts he is replete. 
You go to court with all the drunks, 
It costs you even ten; 
You do not care about the plunks, 
But think they used you mean. 
No doubt you thought you were going slow, 
But our woodchucks watch the clock; 
The Judge allows they’d ought to know— 
You waste your breath to knock. 
So slow her down if you come here; 
We'll bid you welcome all, 
But flying machines we always fear— 
They'll surely get the call. 
SOME FACTS. 
To policy-holders of the 
ew York Life Insurance Co. 
and the insuring public : 
The following Facts concerning the 
New York Life Insurance Company 
are respectfully submitted. 
Joun A. McCa tt, 
President. 
New York, August 10th, 1905. 
The New York Life is a purely 
mutual company; it has no capital 
stock. The company is owned and 
controlled by its policy-holders, and is 
conducted solely in their interests. 
It has been in business since 1845, 
and for over fifty years has never failed 
annually to declare a dividend to policy- 
holders. 
The New York Life does not loan 
upon or invest in stocks of any kind. 
This has been its voluntary practice 
since the year 1899. 
The board of trustees consists of 
twenty-five members: the president 
of the company, and twenty-four mem- 
bers elected by the policy-holders at 
the election held in the home office on 
the second Wednesday in April each 
year. 
Every policy-holder of the company 
is entitled to a vote at each election. 
If he cannot be present in person, he 
can be represented and his vote cast 
by anybody he chooses to name as 
proxy, except that no officer, employee 
or agent of this company can act as 
such proxy. 
Every proxy is revocable at the will 
of the policy-holder executing it. 
The trustees of the company hold 
regular monthly meetings; they are 
responsible to the policy-holders for 
the proper conduct of the business. 
At the trustees’ meeting in May of 
each year, the executive officers of the 
company for the ensuing year are 
elected. These officers are elected 
for one year only, and are responsible 
to the board of trustees for the proper 
conduct of their offices. 
By taking a policy in the New York 
Life you become a member of the 
company, entitled to share in the 
profits of their world-wide financial 
transactions and splendid prosperity 
that they are now experiencing.
