BY EDWIN J. BROWN.

n combination or an assocla-
ton OF men who were engaged IN
your business. profession or occu.
patton, went 10 the legislature and
secured a Law which pretended 10
regulate your business, would you
not be suspicious Of that associa-
tion7
n after the law WAS enacted, you
found that II did not regulate your
trade. business or profession IN your
interest. but delegated arbitrary
power 10 that combine To do as
they saw III. IN the matter Of al
lowing you 20 earn your living and
live In this state, what would you
thlnk2
II. IN an unguarded moment. one
Of the ringleadcrs would say TO a
newspaper reporter that the pres
ent Dental Law was enacted for tho
purpose OF protecting those already
here and engaged in your line, and
also TO keep sou out, what would
you think2
II this association hired a lawyer
10 prosecute you II you went 10
work az your vocation without the
permission OF the combine, what
would you think7
II you were Dentist, and the
Dental Combine told you that I'M
less You did business according to
their rules you could not live In this
state. what would you thinkY
II their society combine rules

II member ~ this combine said
10 you: Our associations agree
ment Is for the purpose OF keeping
dentists who guarantee their work
out ~ this state" how would that
sound 10 you?
II you we're a graduate Dentist,

IL the lawyer for the combine dis
missed a criminal case against a
Dentist BY saying. He don't do
enough business 20 hurt anybody,
and We win dismiss his case"
wouldn't this make sensible per-
son blushy
Tho above questions are only a
few. but ! have more which will
be given to the public In a far
more impressive manner than
could possibly give them.
II looks to me as though the DEN
tai Combine. failing In all other
methods. has started an advertise
ing dental office. as | am reading
cheap dental advertisements.
wherein the cheapness and weak
ness OF their plans are offset by
the violence OF their language.
The public viii please take notice
that the Brown Dental Offices have
been located In their present quar-
ters. at 7is First av, for n years.
and you don't have TO guess who
We are nor what we are. We in
wife inspection and court COMPETE
ton there Is room for all who are
right. especially We like the knock
ers tcheap oncsl they boost our
business and stimulate our prac-
tice TO growth. Go to any and all
the dental offices In Seattle. in
spect their work and learn their
prices. then call on us and have
a free examination and learn what
We can and will do for you.
We do no cheap dental work, but
the best. at half the price charged
by the combine and other knockers.
We have the largest. most mod
ern and elegantly appointed dental
offices In the United States outside
OF New York.
We have no interest in nor con-
nection with any other dental office
in Seattle. but the whole dental
fraternity can do the high class
work for the price we charge. You
will notice that one office has gone
so far as copying part of my arti-
