WHAT OTHERS THINK

Dear Mr.. Editor:
Some children | once knew low
ed playing fairies but only one lit
tie girl could ever be the Queen.
If she couldn't be Queen she would
not play, The insistence that FAINT
leroy must be the Queen Of our fer
.ries is Just as absurd. Vashon Is
land needs no excuse for being, Its
beauty is manifest to every sensi-
tive mind. The smooth water of the
Sound with sea pulls floating or
its blue surface or following il
wake of the boat, the occasional
leap OF a fish or the dark head of
a seal showing, a ship looming in
the distance, makes an alluring
Journey to this lovely Island. The
sumner people, the professional
men, business would they come If
they first had to take a long street
car ride, a bus whether or no, with
no time for relaxing quiet in the
soft breeze of the Sound9 Let the
busy trucks and cars which have
no esthetic appreciation anyway
make the boat journey as quickly
as possible but leave to the rest
Of us the delight of ocean travel
without its mal-de-mer.
Mrs. Peck

LA Toilette PUTS 0NUS
ON COOLIDGE "INACTION"

Senator La Toilette, Republican, of
Wisconsin. voiced the opinion here
yesterday that the reluctance of Presi-
dent Coolidge to call a special ses-
sion of Congress to take up the Mis-
sissippi flood situation appears to be
political in character"
'It is to be hoped" he added that
the pressure of public opinion will
force him to act, thus enabling Con-
gress to provide adequate funds i'm
for relief and to then devote
its undivided attention to this pressing
and important question of flood pre-
vention and control months in ad-
vance of the regular session.
"A great emergency has arisen, In
which time is of the greatest impor-
tance. The responsibility rests
squarely upon the shoulders OF Presi-
dent Coolidge, because under the Con.
stitution he has sole power to act.
