The　Workingmen's　League　now　controls　the　government　of　Remsen　City。　　It　gives　an　honest　and　efficient　administration；　and　keeps　the　public　service　corporations　as　respectful　of　the　people　as　the　laws　will　permit。　　But；　as　Victor　Dorn　always　warned　the　people；　little　can　be　done　until　the　State　government　is　conqueredand　even　then　there　will　be　the　national　government　to　see　that　all　the　wrongs　of　vested　rights　are　respected　and　that　the　people　shall　have　little　to　say；　in　the　management　of　their　own　affairs。　　As　all　sensible　people　know；　any　corrupt　politician；　or　any　greedy　plutocrat；　or　any　agent　of　either　is　a　safer　and　better　administrator　of　the　people's　affairs　than　the　people　themselves。
