Relieving Congested Districts.

THE congested districts board was in
structed to buy all the lands it found
necessary in such places, moving some Of
the Inhabitants to other sections of Ire
land. where they would be able to make
a living. and distributing the lands among
those that remained in allotments suffi-
GENTLY large to enable them to live. In
deserving cases the board is authorized to
build comfortable houses to replace the
wretched novels, to restock the farms, to
purchase implements where they are
needed. to provide seed and do whatever
Is necessary to give the family a fair
start and enable IT to enjoy the re-
suits Of its labor. The board is also
empowered to build new houses upon the
locations selected for the families which
are moved. and has done so in many
cases. You will see in these photographs
the character of the cabins that were for
merly occupied by the poor people in the
congested districts and the character of
those which have been built to replace
them by the board.
The next movement was the local gov
eminent act Of 1898. which authorizes the
people OF Ireland 10 choose the members
Of the county and district councils. which

welt selected the candidate for presi-
dent, he drafted the platform, he COM
PEELED its adoption. and it is only prop
er that he should choose the man who
is TO shake down the corporations for
campaign contributions. Loeb has the
entire confidence of thc president; he
knows who is in good standing with
the administration and who is not; he
has a wide acquaintance among the
men who will be amenable to requests
for money, and the politicians know it
is good business to stand in with him
as a means of favor with the chief
executive.
Moreover-and this is the main point
it would be a very brave corporation
head who would refuse to meet Loeb
at the front door when he calls for
money, because : Deb. armed with the
authority. is in position to
make it so hot for the recalcitrants that
the fat will fairly ooze out OF them at
his approach.
BY all means make it Loeb,
