He Didn't Say 'Reds."

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
Permit me through The Times to
call the attention OF the public to the
persistent efforts of = Washington
paper to misrepresent public men and
social organizations by an indulgence
In the word "red.-
I was present at a meeting on
Thursday night in Liberty Hut where
A. Mitchell Palmer, the Attorney
General, delivered an address on
"The Enforcement of Law" Tho fol-
lowing morning this Washington pa
per had headlines saying Attorney
General denounced "reds," and fro
auently making use OF the word red
In the report Of his address
As one who made notes of the
speech. wish to state on my honor
that the Attorney General never once
used the word "red" in his speech,
and IT was not used by any speaker
OF that evening.
Moreover. the important parts OF
tho Attorney Generals speech were
ignored by this papers reporter. For
example, he said: "The people OF tho
United States have a right TO sdvo-
cate any form of Government they
wish. They have n right to abolish
Congress and substitute commits
sion form OF Government in it's place.
What the people do not have a right
10 do is TO advocate changes by
violence" These were the vital parts
of the Attorney Generals address,
and do honor to him as a citizen and
Judge.
That this Washington paper should
cast aspersions upon the character of
Mr.. Palmer for the purpose OF tanning
the flames OF the so-called "rsds" Ia,
TO say the least, an evidence OF the
viciousness and un'Americsn spirit of
that daily.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

bEfAIS MOO hlhr IA.
At last believe my ''little ro-
nance" (as everyone seems to call
i) is coming to real climax
either for the best or worst BY
this I mean that after reading "a

one of mine, we shall all know soon

much, and was tickled TO hear that
he really showed UP that certain
Monday morning. I feel ! owe him
an apology for being late-but hon

Blonde" is "The Right One"
/ shall by all means write you

ment" Gf may term 1t thus) and
let you know II we meet, and IL he
was "The Right One" OF course
he Is, too! At least I think he is.
There Is going to be one little girl

who'll be mighty disappointed II he
isn't. LEAP-YEAR GIRL.
AS you see, / have eliminated
from your letter suggestion as to
the time and place for another at
tempted meeting. BY printing 1t
in The Times, you might find a
crowd OF Blondes" waiting for
you and the situation would hold
more embarrassment than pleas
ure in It.
Now am going to suggest
plan which l believe will be better.
/ believe you said In one Of your
previous letters that this young
man is blonde and slightly lame;
that you have been noticing him
for nearly a year; that he lives
within a block of you; that he
takes the car at the same place
you do. Now why not suggest
that he present himself at that
same corner, the 100 block l be-
lieve it is Of certain block in
the northeast These directions
ought to be easily understood by
"The Right One" and will elimi-
nate the possibility of a spurious

next Saturday night at o'clock
sharp. You will wear a gray suit
and straw turLan, you say. II
he is The Right One" he will
know the particular location in the
northeast and also you will recog-
nize him on sight.
| suppose an even better plan
would be for this blonde who
thinks he is The Right One" TO
send me his name and home ad-
dress and, as I have yours, It would
be very easy to determine II he Is
the one and II so to arrange a
meeting.

1t seems an unnecessary chance
to take. A young woman on the
verge of marriage has the right
to the certainty of love, and not
the doubtful possibility of achiev-
ing it afterward. Love has been
known to come after marriage, but
it is very rare. Personally, l can
never see any reason for marriage
except mutual love. Love on one
side isn't enough.
