CABOT LODGE AT counr.

In the opinion of the Springfield Re-
publican, Senator Lodge would make
a competent and most efficient Ambas-
sador to England. But it notes the
fact that in his callow days, Mr.. Lodge
was known in London as one of the
worst of the lions tail-twisters In
America" That ought to be enough
to make him ineligible for appoint
ment to the Court of st. James. There
is no reason that we can imagine why
provision should be made for Mr. Lodge.
He has had his day, and the sugges-
lions that have been made that Mr..
Taft should make a place for him in
the diplomatic service because Mr..
Lodges own people in Massachusetts
have dropped him, does not seem to
be justified by public necessity or
political wisdom. Certainly President
Taft owes Mr.. Lodge nothing. Let the
scholar in politics go back to his
home at Nahant and spend the residue
of his days in rejecting upon the op-
portunities he has lost.

Dispatch received letter from the
Hon. David Crockett Richardson, Mayor
OF the City of Richmond "touchin on
and appertainin' to" the garbage ques-
ton to which we made bold to direct
his official attention yesterday morning
Mayor Richardson says:
referring to your editorial in Tho
Times-Dispatch of this date relating
to the passage of garbage carts with
their malodorous csntents along the
public streets of the city on Sunday
morning, November 20, 1910, I desire
respectfully to say that / brought the
matter to the attention of the Super
intendent of the Street Cleaning De-
partment, and have just received a re-
ply, in which he says: There were no
city carts in service on Sunday, Novem-
Der 20, or on any other Sunday work
ing on garbage
|. Il fully concur with you In the opin-
ion that all garbage carts should be
covered, and have heretofore suggested
this to the committee. and most of the
carts are covered. The police will be
instructed to report all parties who
haul offensive matter through the
streets, as ii is a nuisance which will
subject the offender to the penalties
prescribed by law. / thank you for
bringing this matter to my attention."
1t will be noted that we did not say
that the carts hauling garbage were
City carts, in fact. we knew that they
were not; but the particular cart which
caught our eagle eye was an open cart,
and it was loaded with garbage con-
tanned in uncovered cans, and it smelt
to heaven, as most garbage does after
it has become sufficiently decayed,' as
the comic opera has IT. We are told
that most of the carts are covered"
which is equivalent to saying that some
of them are not covered. and it is the
uncovered cart that the Mayor is after,
and we are right behind him in his
determination to abate this nuisance.
All that is needed now is a little active
work by the police, and the reform will
be accomplished Good for Mayor

clan and plebeian noses that have been

become usual because that insures a

the air, and as this Is best effected by
