THE Sacred ISLAND

Tokyo.-We have been to the sacred
island, Enoshima. In anticipation the
trip was somewhat Of bore. Every.
one goes to Enoshima-it is favorite
summer resort. Perhaps. because we
had not expected much, 1t delighted

and the fishermen have it all to them
selves. About two hours by rail from
Tokyo brought us to Fujisawa, where
We TOOK the tramcar for Katase. A
few minutes ride through sandy dis
trict grown with scrub pine brought
US to our destination. Fuji should
have been seen in all her glory, but
clouds and distant haze prevented;
only now and then unsatisfactory
glimpses were caught. Katase is a
mean village, upon a sandy point, the
projecting spit from which connects
the sacred island with the mainland
The street through which We walked

and shell shops. Every one knows

There are panels with compositions Of
birds and landscapes: there are hat
pins and hairpins with heads COM

there are spoons for mother of pearl

tea saucers in which the tea cups are
to be placed in serving tea to guests;
there are little cups, for drinking sake
or water from sacred fountains, cut
from white ovules or from spotted
cowries, to which are attached by a
silk cord smaller shell to serve as a
netsuke for suspending them at the
girdle; there are whistles and trum-
pets made from various kinds of
shells; there are mice and pigs and
other animals, quite lifelike in form
but all composed only of shells. To
tell the truth these shops did not so
much interest us as we walked
through Katase, as they did later on
in Enoshima proper. We believed that
most of the shells there offered came
from all sorts of distant places, and
had no doubts as to the actuality of
any shells remaining in the immediate
locality. When we had passed the vii
lage we came out upon the beach
and spit, high and broad, connecting
the mainland with the island. The
sand was heavy and We took off our
shoes and stockings to make easier
travel. On the slope of sand rising
from the spit in the direction of the
village were quantities of enormous
baskets dashed to long poles-perhaps
used for gathering seaweeds or for
carrying great catches Of fish; over

"How many acres of farming land;

"'Bout 20, guess" said Reuben.
Twenty! Why, it looks to me like
nearer 100. Come, now, can't you IN

The New Haven asygtamn Grlp.


The Barre Times prints the following
interesting and suggestive editorial par
agraph:
Vermont Is the only New England
state which has not fallen into tie
grip OF the New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad
Thanks to the kind fate which led
to the absorption Of the Central Ver-
mont railroad BY the Grand Trunk sys-
tenn, this statement can probably be
kept standing in the newspaper offices
OF Vermont in perpetuity, for it IS
inconeeivahle that the government of
Canada, which keeps string on the
railroads in the Dominion in connection
with railway grants, will ever permit
control of that railway system To pass
into the hands Of American fnanciers.
In other words, railway competition
lis practically assured in Vermont, and
while the New Haven system and the
Central Vermont and other lines viii
naturally unite in opposing any hostile
legislation, their interests, ii allowed
free play BY our legislators, viii al
ways be rival and to a certain extent
antagonistic.
We believe the true policy Of the
people Of Vermont regarding the New
Haven, the Central Vermont or any
other railroad, should be simply one of
"hands Off our government
Adequate facilities for transportation
are absolutely essential to the develop
ment Of the natural resources Of any
region The railroads made the West;
and railroads can make any region
which has something to offer people
II would therefore be short sighted IN
the extreme for the people Of Vermont
to adopt unjust or unreasonable meas
uyes or policies in dealing with our rail-
roads, or for that matter with any pub
liz service corporation
Vermont needs new blood in the
shape of capital 10 help develop its
natural resources We should 50 legis
late that capital win be encouraged 70
come into our state and feel that it
can do so with permanent safety Nor
should there be popular prejudice
against railroads or any other public
service corporation as such.
When, however, any railroad or otner
corporation seeks to control any branch
OF our government or our legislators, in
order to shape legislation or the appli-
cation Of measures for the purpose Of
promoting its own interests at the ex
pense Of the people, that public service
corporation must expect the people Of
Vermont, true to their traditions, to
rfhel and the Free Press viii be among
The FIRST to expose any move ID that
direction Burlington Free Press.

Brattleboro's possibilities as mill

conditions are concerned, and it is GER
tain that sooner or later the grand OPP
portunities Of the Connecticut river at
that point will be utilized. If the pres
ent effort results in the securing Of an
immense cotton mill, the town will boom
as it never has before; but at the same
time the people there must be prepared
for new conditions, inasmuch as cotton
MILLS do not pay the highest standard
of wages, and there must develop new
