Cleveland Plain Dealer: In view OF
the vigorous campaign TO save Cleve-
lands shade trees. recent decision of
the New York court of appeals is of in
terest. Ii is to the effect that a gas
company is responsible for the death
OF trees caused by the leakage of gas
pipes. The owners of the trees. wheth-
er individuals or municipalities. may
collect damages from the company that
owns the defective pipes. II has long
been known that gas pipes are among
the many causes that contribute to the
disease and death of city trees. The
contamination of the soil from which
the trees derive their nourishment is
sure TO result in disaster The leaks
need not be at all serious. but the con

if Roosevelt be given credit for the
same. proves the antitrust contentious
by Bryan and the democratic party.
Roosevelt and his republican party,
Roosevelt and his republican press,
Roosevelt and his republican organiza-
ton with their trust contributed "slush' -
funds ridiculed Bryan's antitrust atti-
tude They urged the democratic par
ny TO nominate 4 safe" and sane
candidate The democratic party was
foolish enough to do in 1904 as the
republican slushfunders suggested. and
the result was the biggest victory the
trusts ever won.
Recent trust revelations prove the
truth of Bryan's declarations. Appli-
cation of democratic principles as pre-
sented by the democratic party and
Bryan is necessary to meet existing
conditions
II is natural then that republicans
and democrats alike turn in admiration
to Bryan. who told the people of these
trust outrages i'll 1896 Bryan boldly
reiterated his declarations in 1900. In
1904 the Bryan democrats yielded 20
the trust-governed element i'll the party,
and the upheaval has come as Bryan
and Bryan democrats declared il would
come.
Bryan is today a greater victor in the
matter of principle and popularity than
any president since Lincoln. Should
he never again be a candidate before
the people. and even should he win
victory ut the polls. there could be no
greater victory than that he has to his
credit at present-victory i'll the matter
Of principle. Though not president, he
is right. Current events have shown
emphaticaIly that the voters. not Bryan,
made the mistake in 1906, 1900 and
1904. The mistake will not be repeat
ed in 1908.

Bryan's Popularity.

Republicans and democrats alike.
whether or not they agreed with Bryan
IN the famous free silver battles of
1896 and 1900. recognize that BRYAN is
much greater than that one issue. that
he is substantially in support of all
other vital democratic issues upon
which the development and perpetuity
of the republic depends. and that today
Bryan is the greatest commoner of the
age.
There is little doubt. if the demo
cratic national convention in 1908 is
purely representative of the rank and
file of the democratic party. that Bryan
will again be presidential candidate
