Replies to His Critics.

10 1he Editor OF The Evening Star:
In my article on the care of shade trees
I quoted the words of the official dictum
on one point as follows: 1.-The removal
OF branches, particularly when the trees
are In foliage. destroys a corresponding
portion Of roots.'
In another sentence I happened to refer
to the same idea paraphrased thus: while
1t Is not credible that the removal of a

of the roots" etc.

against nonSense, asserts in your issue of
October 22 that 1.-The writer meaning
myself "purposely distorted their views

them"
Now. is not the verbal difference be-
tween the phrases destroys a correspond
Ing portion Of roots" and kills a proper
t1onate part of the roots" a very small and
undignified quibble on which a spokesman
for an official board bases charge that
l purposely distorted their views in order
to ridicule them?
1 didi believe that in quoting the very
words used l fairly represented the idea
they had been proclaiming ever since the
storm. But they now disclam that view,
and I am gratified to read that so far as
kills a proportionate part of the roots
Is concerned mo such theory Is entertain
eu Dy the present board Neither that
theory nor any such or similar theory is
now their belief.
This improvement in their views rewards
me well for my former letter.
Permit me to add, with no intention to
burlesque or purposely distort any ones
language, that I do not know any member
Of the parking commission nor even the
names of any of the former tree pruning
gentlemen against whom sundry writer's,
Official and otherwise, have been raving
for months past, in such Incorporate and
exaggera ted terms.
Mr.. C.'s repeated talk of tree butcher
ing and of 'emasculating." and of 1.-The
barbarity and ignorance of man. in con-
nection with this peaceful topic, is simply
ridiculous to mere looker-on, who has
no personal feelings or friendships to be
hurt by it, and no ancient grudges to be
gratified. There you have some Of his
recent words undistorted. and in all their
needless barbarity. His retort sheds more
light on the depth and breadth of the dis
pute than I had before received.

age of cut-back shade trees that were

to raise issue by which to down any
opponents
I still think, judging by the conditions
everywhere shown, as the trees are being
denuded of foliage. that the predecessors
of these officials did their work well and
on correct principles. and that the begin

Pops Don't Want to Support
Bryan-Cuney Rather
Quiet.

Dallas, Texas. Sept. IS.-
Senator Aliens letter or Motif
cation to Bryan has knocked
fhe underpinning from the
popullst plans for fusion. The
pop plenary committee had in
tended to make Bryan's antic-
ipated refusal to stand on the
poPulist platform the excuse
for afiliating with the republi-
cars. Now. Senator Allen tells
BRYAN that he was nominated,
not-as a populist, but as a dem
ocrat; that he is rot expected
10 accept the populist creed,
nor to desert the Chicago plat
form, and that the one tie OF
unity between the two parties
IS Enlargement upon the sill
ver issue which is row theover-
slladowing issue.
Pop leaders would not dis
cuss Aliens letter for pubiica-
ton, but they discussed-and
.cussedAit much among them
selves today. II has placed
them in a worse hole than ever.
Rrcouncil of war will probably
be held tomorrow to determine
what to de about the matter.
1t is not at all impossible
T1at the upshot of the whole
Business will be that the Texas
bosses will bolt the populist
rational party, and openly re-
pddiate the St. Louis nonlina-
ton of Bryan.
The republican Campaign
committee is now busy with the
clerical work of arranging its
data, opening, books and as.
