Buckner and Bradley.

One feature of the Kentucky campaign
this year is noteworthy for the positions
taken by two prominent men OF the
State--Gen- Simon Bolivar Buckner and
Ex-Governor Bradley. the former once
Democrat and the latter still a Repub-
lican- General Buckner is out in Al
Endorsement of the Republican ticket
from top TO bottom. while Ex-Governor
Bradley, although not advocating the
election Of Governor Beckham. has de-
clined to go upon the stump or give aid
10 the candidates of his party. The at
titude OF both men is largely on account
OF personal reasons. General Buekner.

still processes 10 be a Democrat. Prob
ably the principal reason which impeis
him TO support the Republican State
ticket this fall is the fact that Mr.. Belk-

son-in- law, and General Buekner is nat
uralIy bound stronger by family ties
than by partisanship bonds. particularly

Would Protect the Trees.

To the Editor of the Washington Times
Although Superintendent Lanhsm, of the city
parking, shows in report published yesterday
mat large number Of trees have been set out
along the streets of Washington in the past
season, there is small mention made Of the
healthy trees that have fallen under the ak.
One notable case in which the shade trees Of
Washington have suffered is the destruction OF
the trees on the northeast corner of Fourteenth
and G Streets, in front Of Thomas Walsh's new
Office building. Hereafter pedestrians must pass
along the long stretch Of sidewalk in a swelter-
ing blaze Of sunlight. Why is it that as soon
as iarge building is erected in Washington it
is the signal for the destruction Of the treest
