Washington, Dec 2S.-Young Mr..
Loeb, Who started out as a stenogra-
pner, fell into politics accidentally.
put is now (nuch to the ciagrin of
the party in power) collector for the
port of New York. is laying his wires
to capture the New York Governor
ship.
Mr.. Loeb is an interesting chap,
particularly to the sugar trust; also
to Mr.. Cannon, Mr. Aldrich, and 9TH
ers of the reactionary group. II you
do not know Mr.. Loeb, you ought to
get acquainted. because mis- star is on
ly beginning to rise. He is a polite
ian of the new school, having learned
his trade under the tutelage of The
Master Politician. One of the my
policies which Mr.. Loeb picked up
while sitting around the White House
was the "art of forcing your way into
toe newspapers" 1t Is said, in this
connection, that Loeb has a sufficient
number of canned customs house
scandals lying around his Office in
New York to keep the public In read
ing until spring.
Had the leaders of the G. o. p. had
the least idea of Loeb's prying dispo-
sition, he would not now be collec-
tor for the port of New York. He
would more likely be minister to 81
IBERIA. For IL the truth must be told.
and it ought to be, Loeb. Jr.. is a
thorn of thorns in the sides of the Big
Chiefs. And they do not dare remove
hi he IN lich nf
the public sentiment on all Cnatters
pertaining to sugar. And wise Mr..
Loeb, Jr., knows they dare not place
the skids under hi.n--at least not
now. And as for after while-wen
Mr.. Loeb will look out for after while
after while. ct. r. will be here then.
That's what Mr.. Loeb is waiting for.
but don't say anytaing.).
In the meantime Loeb comes to
Washington every week or SO, throws
out his chest, looks wise and says to
tle correspondents: Just had a talk
with the President and the big party
leaders. They all endorse my work
up in New York. They want me to
keep the good work going. Get the
men at the top, Is what they all ad.
wise"
OF course, 1t wouldn't be healthy
politically to say anything else. No
one is denying the Loeb interviews.
And no one is going to deny them.
And Mr.. Loeb, Jr., is just loved to
death by the standpat Republican
leaders, oh, yes he is-NOT.
Il expect to see massachusetts, go
Democratic In the Congressional ell
ections next fall" said Ray Stannard
Baker. of the American Magazine.
while in Washington the other day.
Il have Just spent six weeks in the
New ngland states. and the antago-
Rism in tnat section against Aldrich
and Cannon is something amazing.

Don't be angry n a stranger calls
at your home and asks IL you love your
wife. Hes only the census man. About
65, 900 of them will be out on the job
before long. The collecting of infor-na-
ton about the private affairs of peo-
pie who don't want to talk is just a
part of their duties. To make good
they must be a cross between a news
paper reporter and a book agent.
