The recent election IN this state
shows that the Republican party
must demand a thorough house
cleaning at very early date or 1t
will be down and out. The people
can be fooled long time, but there
is limit to party Iealty and indiifer-
ence. The hand writing Is on the
wall in illuminated text and those
who cannot rea it are those who are
willfully blind or wofully ignorant.
The style OF politics that is termed
"Braytonism" has had long innings,
but the time is here when it must
stand aside for something better or
the party is doomed Brayton's
politics is the politics of Quay and
Plat rather than the politics OF
Roosevelt and Hughes "Brayton-
ism" is driving the best men out OF
q party, that is and has been really
rur uymanlpulators, place seekers and
heelers. "The Grand Old Party" in
this state long ago ceased to be
grand. The people want some.
thing better and they have the right
to demand it. The signs Of the
times cannot misconstrued and" Bray
tonism" must GO.

You put off the filling and crown

operation will be painful. But we
have done away with pain in the
dental chair That has been our
problem for years and at last we have
solved it. Our method is safe and
certain. No matter how sensitive
your teeth may be, we can fill or
crown them without giving you one
painful moment.
Send for our booklet, Chemistry by
Specialists and the Gentle Art Of
Painlessness, and you Will see from
the testimonials it contains, and the
character of the writers, that our

misleading you.
The best way to do difficult thing

OPEN LETTER TO cITYATToRNEY

Los ANGELES, Feb. 11.-[Dear Sir]:
In case the board of education sells to
the Los Angeles-Pacific Railway COM
pany an easement to run it's railroad
tunnel under the Olive Street school lot
for any sum, and at some future time
the property owners should decide to
cut down Bunker Hill to level with
Hill street, which is not improbable
on account of the increasing value of
the property so close to Broadway. who
would be entitled to the lot-the rail-
way company or the school board-after
it was leveled down to the railway
track?
Or, again. suppose the city should
want to erect business building on the
lot and should desire to put down
foundation thirty or forty feet below
the curb level how could they do it
with a railroad tunnel in the way? Or
how could any one else do it, supposing
the lot was sold or leased, and how
much would any one give for such a
lot with a railroad tunnel under it?
Very little, would they not? Well,
then. would the school board be justi-
fled in selling an easement at any less
than the value of the lot as it now
stands in the one case or the differ
ence in the value of the lot in the other
case? If they would why would they?
