Why Are the Reds Here2
70 the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Every good American will commend
your recent editorial entitled 1.-The
Roundup of Reds" but will not the
average American want to know why
all these alien reds? The press has
told us every time an effort has been
made to stiffen our immigration laws
that we were amply and adequately
protected by existing laws If that
be true. as it is true that existing law
excludes and authorizes the deporta-
ton of anarchists and reds, what has
become of the enforcement of such
laws? Why were these hundreds and
hundreds of anarchist aliens allowed
to enter and to preach their treason
able doctrines? Is it not time for law
enforcement? According to the press
report the Department of Labor and
the Department of Justice, both OF
which are charged. with law enforce
ment, have been loafing on their job
They have had in their possession the
proof. and yet this nefarious, treason
able propaganda has been going on
day after day until 1t results in 500 000
miners quitting their work, conspir-
ing contrary to law and threatening
industry with paralyzation and people
with freezing to death.

Brumidi's Capitol Work.

To the Editor of The Star:
I was much interested in the infor-
nation given in The Star recently
about Brumidi. It happened that in
the fall of 1854 took a young visitor
to Washington to see the sights, and
we went to see Brumidi fresco one OF
the committee rooms on the House
side Of the Capitol, the windows open
ing to the west.
Brumidi was on a scafold-and he
painted a part of a scene-some eight
or ten feet Of it, while we watched
him; and, then. not pleased with it
he wiped it out, and began over again
He worked with great rapidity. That
was one of the sights of that period

MISSIONARIES CALL
FOR FLYING BOATS
Letters From Africa Asks
Price of Aircraft.

A flying boat or an airplane may
soon form part of the equipment OF
modern missions in blacklist Africa, ac-
cording to a letter received yesterday
by the Curtiss Airplane and Motor
Corporation.
The letter was from the Congo Mis-
sion of the Disciples of Christ. the
headquarters Of which is at Coduilhat-
Vile, Belgian Congo.
I'VE are interested in the matter OF
the purchase of flying boats to replace
wholly or in part the fleet Of launches
which we have been planning for serv-
Ice In communication between our va
rtous stations" the letter stated. I'VE
have a large river steamer for trans
portation between stations which hydro
planes might supply. Our area Is about
500 miles east and west and 200 miles
north and south in extent. The whole
area is covered we'll by an extensive
system Of waterways. In inland points
landings might be made in small ma
chimes in the straight, smooth, central
streets of the native towns, which in
this section are usually clear of grass
and other distractions and are not less
than 100 feet wide"
What the untamed congregations will
think Of the innovation is a matter OF
conjecture only.

RAIN SEEMS LIKELY
TO QUIT TONIGHT
Weather Man Says He'll Prove
st. Swithin Is False
Prophet.

The man who has his finger on the
pulse OF the weather up In the White
hall Building is sceptical abou. st.
Swithin. Not that he believes the old
gentleman was a writer or maybe a
Revolutionary General or anything like
that: he merely takes no stock in the
dolorous belief that:
est. Swithin's day, II thou dost rain
For forty days II will remain.
ct. swithin's day. II thou be fair
For forty days twill rain ma MAR.
The fact that the heavens opened on
July Is. which Is the Saints day. and
have not yet closed, and that more
showers are predicted for to-day, which
will make six days of more or less rain,
has not converted the weather man.
Uncle Jim Scarr. the boss observer for
this region, was invisible yesterday. but
his understudy said hatly that he
doubted II st. Swithin had anything to
do with the persistent moisture. In
fact, he said, Il was more than possible
that the rainy spell. so far from lasting
forty days, would take itself or Tonight
and that tomorrow the world would re-
discover the existence OF the sun and
clear skies.
1t must be confessed. however, that
the Governments disgnostician was not
as ready as he usually Is to explain Just
why II started and kept on raining. He
had to admit that there was no particu-
lar barometric "low" over the flooded
zone, no special atmospheric formation.
He further conceded that prolonged pre-
cipitation was not usual Just at this
time. In short he had no theory to ac-
count for the phenomenon and had to
fall back on an avowal that this was
merely a summer rain"
Only a narrow strip Of country along
the Atlantic and Gulf coast from New
York to New Orleans Is getting the
soaking. Albany reported no rain yes
terday so did Buffalo and Scranton. The
rain clouds would long ago have van
ished over the ocean to the northwest
except that a stationary low" over the
Grand Banks, where quite storm Is
cutting up, was holding them back.
It really hasn't rained such a terrible
lot; dark skies and frequent showers
have contrived to give false appearance
OF pluviosity. On Tuesday there was
trace OF rain. as the Weather Bureau
calls Il; on Wednesday, ons sixteenth of
an inch on Thursday. a trace; on Fri
day and Friday night, one and half
inches, and yesterday afternoon an inch
more.
The temperature has continued high
and so has tho humidity. even between
showers. Farmers setting out fall celery
are delighted and city bootblacks de-
pressed about equally.
