WE WERE NOT IN ERROR.

In last weeks issue Mr.. Jackson
Corbet took exception to statement
we had originally made as to the
number Of docks used by boats be-
longing to the Anderson interest. The
number used is of minor Importance
except that 1t does constitute point
in the original argument.
We are informed by one OF the en-
gineers in the county engineers office
that each year work is done on thir-
teen docks used by boats and ferries
belonging to Anderson interests, Va
shon Hgts., Leschi, Medina, Roanoke
Madison Park. and Kirkland, all ferry
landings and seven used by the steam
er Dawn, plying between Leschi
Park and Mercer Island. We admit
Mr.. Corbet's contention that other
companies are using county docks but
those same companies are using and
maintaining their own boats, not
several donated by the county,
The use of the Washington last
Monday evening brought forth lot
of comments of satisfaction from
commuters who arrived home in just

REPUBLICAN, NATIONAL
CONVENTION AS ISLAND
BOY SEES 1T

Dear Editor:
Alike unto toting the proyerbial
Goals to Newcastle is the business of
bearing to you and your readers a
description of the last weeks Republic
can convention in Chicago In these
enlightened days of radio and press
communication such a description
might seem futile Yet few observa-
tons, cleaned firsthand from our
perch up there in the second balcony
roost of the great oyal-shaped edifice
in which the elephant cavorted, might
be in order. Well attempt 1t!
First off, how did we secure tickets?
Frankly we don't know. This much
is certain at least, in response to the
Veritable barrage of Geographic and
telephone requests which we had
launched on finding we would be in
the windy city on and after the 18th
of June, the impossible occurred and
two little green passes, emitting the
bearers to admission at every session
of the convention were produced and
very generously rendered to us by Mr..
Condor, head of the Washington
State delegation Thus, the opening
whack of gavel which, at the hands
of Chairman Tess and Smell, was to
undergo many whacks, found us safe
ly ensconced aloft in the great banner
and bunting bedecked hall.
Very impressive was the business
like manner in which were handled
the affairs of the convention. With
but one exception, things moved and
moved like clockwork there in the
stadium. The delegates had as
sembled from all parts of the land for
a real purpose That purpose was not
to stage the hilarious and revelous
festival typical of other years, but to
embark most effectively on what
promises to be the toughest cam
paign sea Of recent years by building
the sturdiest party platform and
nominating the strongest ticket pos
sible. Relatively speaking, the prompt
ness and attentiveness of the dele
gates at the sessions was remarkable.
Between sessions, they closeted them
selves in their hotel rooms and com
mittee meeting. So strict, in fact, was
their attention to business that the
city's theatres and restaurants pro-
tested loudly at the slowness OF dele
gate patronage"
Then, too, Chicago did her part to

In making an editorial declaration
OF rights We do not wish to antagonize
anyone, nor are We making play for
che appreciation Of any section,
Various criticism has been made Of
the News-Record for our use Of the
term "yashon-Maury Island" 1t has
been breaght to our attention that
the use of the two names is anti
quated that the Islands are now one.
that IN retaining the old name we
are fostering sectionalism, etc, etc.
Such is not the case. While we are
nat as familiar with the geneology
and history of the two Islands as we
should be we have been told that at
one time both were equally independ-
ent of each ether, It is q wonderful
fact that through the forces Of nature
two such lovely islands should have
been made one. We feel that there is
Just as much reason for residents of
Maury Island to resent loss of identity
as there would be for the wave of
protest that would arise should in
sistence be made that Vashon be
dropped and the name Maury alone
used.
The use Of the hyphenated name
appeals to us. We do not insist that
others use 1t just because the News
Record does. whats in a name2'
inquiries the great poet. stating also
that "a rose by any other name would
smell as sweet" The name of oul
Island, be 1t single or compound
matters little. Being made in the
/ Divine image 1t is up to those of us
who strive for the advancement Of
our community to emulate the ex-
ample of the sea, and as 1t has BULL
up lasting union, and as nature ha.
covered the new soil with verdure, il
is up to us humans to build up con-
Meeting link of brotherhood and com
mon interest and clothe 1t IN the yer.
dure OF concern in our common vel
fare, rather than in sticking to sec.
tional ideas.
If 'in union there is strength ther
does not the compou nd name
"vashon-Maury" indicate something
stronger and more unique, two island
in one. rather than a single islane
that is as nature first constructed it
And while there are those who prefel
to speak of ''vashon Island" whe1
speaking of our entire Island let u
concede the same right to those VIII,
prefer to speak of it as "vashon
Maury."

make the convention success and
did IL efficiently. From her skillful
handling OF the traffic 10 and from
the hall and her splendid street
decorating to her ample hotel accom-
modations and convention hall facil-
tiles. her contributions to tho success
were magnificent. The delegates, on
departing, were unanimous In their
praise of their convention location.
But then they have yet to sample
Seattle and Puget Sound
The only exception to the orderli-
ness OF the convention appeared, of
course, during the Wednesday evening
debate on the prohibition plank of
the platform. When the chairman of
the platform committee, James Gar
field, who incidentally possesses the
voice and presence Of great states
man, came to the liquor plank in an
nouncing the platform, he threw the
delegates, and more particularly, the
galleries into an uproarous hubbub
that ultimately resisted Chairman
SHELLS best gavelling and could finally
be queiled only after his threat Of
ordering the galleries cleared. Just
by what process he would have &C
complished that feat was left I'M
certain. 1t was our reaction that
nothing short of the militia could
usher from the hall the twenty thous-
and raving, and evidently thirsty
should we say--maniacs?
It was the intensity of the diss NJ
sion surrounding the whole pro-
hibition question which gave the con-
vention its most striking feature That
in these days of worldwide economic
distress, and social disorder, with
bread-lines and bonus armies at home
with reparation and disarmament
conferences abroad, the only problem
that should provoke any real demon.

would be that the problem of the
liquor traffic seems Incredible. MOI
that that problem isn't important

VIGOROUS ATOM
DUE FOR STIFF
TROUNC|NG

BERKELEY, Calf, Jan. 8.-Dr.
Ernest o. Lawrence will begin in
four or five weeks the great expe-
riment that he hopes will result
in breaking the nucleus of the
atom.
The worlds greatest magnet
weighing IS tons, will be installed
in Prof. Lawrence's laboratory at
the University of California in the
near future.
Operating with such a magnet
DR.. Lawrence is certain he can
produce a bombardment OF atoms
with a stream of protons moving
at a steady five-million voltage be-
fore the end of 1882. The voltage
may even reach ten millions.
But 100000 volts is enough
pressure to impart to the protons
the power required to smash open
the nucleus, or the innermost cen
ter, of the lighter atoms.
DR.. Lawrence has calculated
that with his 85-ton magnet be
can ultimately hurl these protons
at a peak voltage of as much as
25,000,0 900, enough to disrupt even
the stubborn heavier atoms.

They like its taste and the relaxed

For many years it has helped
