Mayor Loeb's Answer
to stCitizen."

A communication appeared in
the last issue of the Clarion
signed Citizen urging you to
vote against me. When you
know who "Citizen" is and the
cause of his grievance, you will
not be governed by an advice
which he proffers you under an
assumed name.
Newspaper communications to
which the author fails to affix
his name, except from modesty,
rarely merit attention, and never
when couched in Incorporate
and vicious terms. | therefore
intend to give scant attention to
t h e letter signed Citizen"
which was published in last Sat
urday's issue Of the Clarion. It's
father was either ashamed of its
creation, Or knew that to iden-
tify himself with it would de-
stroy any possible force it could
have with the intelligent voters
of this city. A sufficient reply
to the letter will be to remove
the cloak with which the author
chose to hide his identity, and to
state that it was written by
none other than Mr.. L. A. San
doz, who is ever ready and eager
to hurl invectiyes at those who
differ with him and who try to
advance our beloved city.
Citizen" pretends to appeal
to the voters, under the guise of
a disinterested patriot, to repu-
diate a progressive and fruitful
administration, on the ground of
alleged extravaganza. M. San
doz, the uncloaked Citizen" is
in reality, as many Of you al
ready know. merely attempting
to satisfy an imagined private
grievance by an anonymous at
tack on me as an official and citi-
zen because in the course of my
duty I declined to sanction the
illegal payment to him of money
! to which he had neither equitable
nor legal claim. It is not patrio-
tism, butunsatisfiied avarice, that
gave moment to his bitter pen.
The fragrant and atrocious tur-
pitude'. that hurts him, was my
stand against his attempted in
! vasion of the city's finances; the
fact that / have performed my
duty, not that I have in any way
neglected it.
To the end that the record may
be kept straight, I shall briefly
review the facts at the bottom of
his attack on me. Several years
ago Mr.. Sandoz, who owned a
piece of land in this city, de-
cided that he could get better
prices for it by subdividing it
into city lots. He subdivided
his property, laid out streets,
and sold lots bounded by these
streets, all in order to satisfy his
private ends, to make his prop
erty more marketable for build
ing lots. After selling the lots,
and plainly dedicating the streets
thus created to the public, as has
been finally decided by the Court
of Appeal, he by some clever
method of reasoning decided that
he still owned the streets, and
that the city had taken them
without authority and owed him
compensation. After failing to
get the City Council to humor
him by handing him out some
$500. 90 of the peoples money
which was not lawfully due him,
he tried to make a forced collec-
ton of his claim, first in the Dis
trict Court and then in the Court
of Appeal. Both courts dis
missed his suit because the City
authorities had properly refused
his demands. For all of this he
persistently blamed me.
Not content with a final de-
feat in the courts, he HE'D him.

Bankers Wife Sees Little Victims in
Paris Refugee Camp-Red Gro. 5
Unable to Meet Demands Upon It
Children Crying For FOOd-EYen
Hot Water is Lacking.

Paris, Sept. Airs. Herman H.
Harjes, wife of the Paris banker, who,
With pther American women, has been
deeply interested in relief work, today
visited the North Railroad station,
and was shocked by the sights she
saw among the Belgian refugees.
The station" said Mrs. Harjes,
presented the aspect of shamble. 1t
was the saddest sight 1 ever saw. 1t
is impossible to believe the tortures
and cruelties the poor unfortunates
had undergone.
Il saw many boys with both their
hands cut off so that it was impossible
for them to carry gun. Everywhere
was filth and utter DISSOLUTION. The
helpless little babies, lying On the
cold wet cement floor, and crying for
proper nourishment, was enough to
bring hot tears to any mothers eyes.
Begged Milk or Soup.
Mothers were vainly besieging the
authorities, begging for milk or soup.
A mother with twelve children said
What is to become of us? 1t seems
Impossible to suffer more. l saw my
husband bound to amp post. He was
gagged and being tortured by bayon-
cts. When l tried to intercede in his
behalf, was knocked senseless with
a rife. never saw him again
The work which the Red Cross is
doing is excellent, but unfortunately
it has not sufficient members to cope
with the situation. Also its equip
ment is poor. I saw babies bathed in
dishpans in cold water, no hot water
being available. DIR. Andre Collin,
who is in charge of the relief work,
is almost worshipped by the people,
owing to his untiring efforts in their
behalf

WHEAT SHIPMENTS
To AFRICA

New York, Sept. 4.-For the first
time in several years small shipments
of wheat aggregating about 10000
bushels have been made to Spain.
They have been regarded as evidence
that temporarily at least Spanish i'm
ports from South America have been
cut off by the European war. This
transaction and the engagement Of
about 100000 bushels of wheat for
export to South Africa created much
interest in local circles. South Afri-
rica's imports of wheat from this
country have been Insignificant, it's
supply coming mostly from Australia,
and it looks now as if shipments from
that country were being hampered
by the outbreak abroad. The export
situation has steadily improved. The
bulk of shipments to foreign ports
were made for cash, it is stated.

GRAND RUSH FOR
COW FEED LIDS

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 4.--Straw hats
have been such a drag on the market
this summer that they have been
cut, week after week, from three dol
lars down to forty-nine cents. But
one big clothing store in Atlanta, de-
sparing of getting rid of its surplus
and having worked it down past the
selling point, offered to give away
every hat left in the store yesterday.
The desire to get something for
nothing brought a crowd of a thous-
and to the store bright and early. The
were that the hat must fit
and must be worn out of the store.
Men who came expecting to get
two dollar lid became caught in the
jam and were glad to get out wearing
o dusty, four-year-old straw which
they promptly threw into the gutter.
Not hat Of any description was left
in ten minutes.

ton produced in the South is made on
rented lands, and the ordinary rent is
paid in cotton or cash. If you expect
to rent any land in 1915, l wish to
urge the following plan: Help US to
get the so per cent, reduction by ask
ing only half the rent you have been
asking to be paid in cotton or cash, the
balance of the rent to be paid in oats,
corn, forage, pork or any other food
products.
For these food proGucts taken for
rent, l suggest the following prices
Corn, 81 per bushel; oats 60 cents
per bushel hay $40 per ton; pork, 10
cents per pound. These prices might
be guaranteed, but if the tenant pre-
fers, let him take the market price
at the time the products are delivered
If the tenant has already made a rent
contract for money or cotton, l sug-
gest his asking his landlord at ones
10 allow one-half the rent to be paiC
n food products as above.
81 suggest that all organizations
working to secure a good price for
this crop and for a reduction of acre
age for next year. actively take up the
question with landlords, as l believe
this change in paying rent will reduce
cotton production in 1915 two million
bales"

surplus. The farmer, the merchant
and the country banker will have to
carry over this surplus possibly until
September, 1915. No one doubts that
this surplus is going to price this
cotton crop, as well as the next, if it
is not properly handled.
THE several cotton conventions
held so far have declared in favor OF
II IL cents minimum price on the sur
plus to be carried over. We can Sc
cure this price or make it ali extray-
agant dream, depending on how much
we reduce the cotton crop in 1915. |
have not heard a recent estimate that
placed the necessary reduction at less
than so per cent.
"All classes of our people should
share in securing this reduction, as
we'll as in trying to carry part of the
necessary surplus.
Quite a large per cent. of the cot
