sarce in connection with the dust null
sance The streets are frequently Uttered
with scraps of paper and all sorts OF
loose trash and every passing wind sets
1t In motion. This nuisance could pc
abated in the main by having trash re-
ceptacles at convenient corners and We
cannot understand why such receptacles
are not provided in Richmond. They are
used elsewhere, and have become ,hdls-
pensablc. Each and every ssich recep-
facle Is a reminder. Its very presence
suggests to those who pass by that trash
should not be thrown upon the streets.
Let us have a plenty Of trash recepta-
cles. Let us have the streets swept ana
sprinkled. The cost will be trining as
compared with the comfort of sweet
and clean city
THANK goodness for the help OF the
ladies. If they will rally in sufficient
numbers the victory Is assured.

The Charges Against Mr.. LOOMS
4 We do not know what prompted Min
lister Bowen to make the sensational
charges against Secretary LOOMS. It Is
intimated that they were made through
spite but we are unwilling to believe that
a man of Mr.. Bowcns character and
position is capable Of such thing. II
ho had good reason to believe that MI.
Loon,s, while acting rs United States
minister to Venezuela, accepted brioesi
purchased at n discount q claim against
the Venezuelan government, and used HIS
official influence to collect the full amount
OF the claim: or that no used his iniiu-
cncc to adjust an obligation for nonc-
tary consideration. Mr.. Bowen was right
in bringing the charges to the attention
OF the government in Washington. IN
deed. he would have been false TO ms
duty II ne had failed to make tho charges
known, for they are of a most serious
charac ter, and reflect indirectly upon our
Integrity as a nation, for the 1latlotl 8
character Is involved in the character OF
its representative abroad.
1T Is unfortunate that tho written
charges which had been IN, Wash' ne on
for many days were not made pubic
by the government. However, It Is graf
flying to every American citizen, regard
less OF his politics. that as soon rs the
charges were published Mr. ,oomis met
them with a fiat and absolute denial
without circumlocution or equivocatioen.
He speaks like q man who Us innocent,
and his denial is so frank and clear that
the nubl,c will believe him innocent until
he is proven by Minister Minister Bowen w anu
President Castro to be guilty.
