INTRODUCTORY

Having unbounded faith in the fu-
ture of Vashon-M aury Islands, and
with assurance of unity and co-opeta-
tion ON every hand have launched
The Record; and sos long as II serves
the vital interests OF the Islands am
sure no one will turn down the enter
prise. Every good citIzau understands
the need of live newspaper, and 1t is
my desire to publish paper tina; will
merit the moral and financial support
Of the entire community. The stern
est critic have Is myself III never
lie to- please the public nor apologize
for telling the truth, thence Tue Record
will be IA newspaper and not an organ;
it will be as intensely human as can
make it in dealing with matters of
public interest and as factor in the
upbuilding Of the Islands. And, finally,
''the good we can do" is, after all. the
matter Of prime Importance.
Sincerely
ROBERT NJ. JONES.

The following extract from letter
to The Record briefly summarizes the
raneful results should the measure
pass:
Initiative Measure No. a. the So
called Brewery Bill, is most dan
gerous proposition. 1t proposes to
throw the state wide open and is so
full of jokers that 1t will put beer at
wholesale prices, in any quantity, into
the hands OF any or every person in
the state at any location. 1t allows
any and everybody who will take out
license to become agent for an out
side brewery and sell without restric.
ton. It allows beer wagons on every
road in the state, destroys completely
ali dry territory, even that formerly
dry under the local option law, and
within the limits prescribed for the
protection OF state institutions.
THE license is issued by the state,
the city has no jurisdiction over It,
cannot revoke it, and cannot prosecute
under city ordinance, and gets none of
the revenue. The opportunities for
drunkenness and debauchery under
this law are greater than they ever
were under the saloon.

The writer found the work Of per-
sonal canvass of the Islands covering
period of seven weeks both pleasant
and profitable, pleasant because of the
opportunity of meeting people in their
homes: profitable, because the days
were sunny and the air had the health
giving tang of the fall. and to tramp
about was pure delight.

Editor vashon Island Record:
You wanted to know II we couldn't

items of interest or otherwise. We're
not much good on items--nor any
other journalistic effort. perhaps. How
ever. you brought 1t upon yourself. so
here goes.
After wondering for several days
what to do about the matter. Ii sud
denly dawned upon us that here was
an unheard of chance to tell an editor
how to run his paper. We can do Il
now without any chance of hurting his
feelings by criticlzing what he has
already done, for the first issue Is at
this date mot yet"
Everybody always knows better how
to do 1t than the editor. of course.
So. as we at this stage cannot kick
at what he has said and done. we will
unburden our mind somewhat ON what
we think he ought TO do, with apol-
ogies.
We have always thought country

than an advertisement and recorder
of such local news items as Hank

And for whom were they casty We
think many people would read such
details with much interest
Who knows how many children in
the different schools; in high SCHOOL,
Who are the teachers. what do they
teach and what do they cost u.s. Are

not give us sach news? 1t would
surely be news here on vashon Is
land
why not have some reports from
different farmers as to what they
raise to best advantage and how they
did it2 Some have had distinct sue
cess in potatoes. berries, etc. Tell
lis about it.
There are several very successful
poultry plants on the Islands. and we
are sure their story would be profit
able and interesting to everybody.
All these things would arouse com,
munity interest, get people acquainted
with their neighbors and what is going
on around them

things and see If 1t won't help the pa,
