GOOD POLITICS. /"

1t may be 'good politics" for the present
Democratic city administration to seek reelec-
ton by the lavish use Of public moneys distrib-
nted among the voters, but certainly it is not
good business. The effect on the voters is
hardly of the most salutary, either.
Forty per cent of the money the Democrats
have spent on roads during the past two years,
it is estimated, has gone as waste Had reas-
onably efficient contracting firm done the work,
it would have cost but sixty per cent of what
has been expended
Undoubtedly, of the thousands of dollars
now being flung among the suddenly augmented
force Of road workers, an even larger proper
ton is wasted. These men know quite as well
as anyone else that they are not expected to
work-they are expected only to vote. And
under the circumstances they are giving quite
as much value as their employers have any
right to expect. =
The only proper rebuke is the defeat of the
entire Democratic ticket of supervisors. If
even one man is reelected, he will be trouble
maker on the board for the next two years :.
he will certainly try to block progressive, fair
system of public Improvement work.

Sir: In reply to E. G. Duisenbergs
letter appearing In your issue of last
evening in which he attempts to ex-
plain the misunderstanding which has
arisen regarding the nature of his Pc
ltition to SELF Intoxicating liquors in
the Pleasanton hotel, it must be stated
as a fact that either Mr. Duisenberg
or his agents In securing subscribers
to his petition misrepresented the case
Ifnasmuch as quite number in sign
Ing the same were led to believe that
he was asking for a restaurant license
only, such as the Union Grill has and
permits only of liquor being served at
meals We learn that not few have
withdrawn their names from the petit

OF the facts of the case, including
some Hawaiians and Portuguese who

tied knowledge of English they were
thereby deceived. r.. --. $50

tions and police protection, that it is
impossible to fulfill all these fair prom

Inconsistency of having asked for a

without the consent OF those who may

termine whether the Ambassador was
correctly quoted in accounts of his

Ia United States to know that the
British would profit most by the use
OF the Panama Canal"
