Too Severe Punishment.
(Hartford, Conn. Courant.

The young man Clark of Holvoke.
who was called down to the border
(Why2) and who wrote homesicll and
critical letter to his local paper, has
been severely punished as already re-
ported, even deprived Of his citizen
ship, aad his friends are taking up
with the administration the question
of such severity At time when
enlistments are being sought, it dies
not seem judicious to advertise such
radical methods. If the man had been
o regular, disciplined and trained, his
cause would have been different. But
he was in effect drafted and suddenly
brought into a new and strange rela-
ton to those about him. He freed his
mind, as anybody at home has right
to do. 1t strikes us that the editor
who printed his letter, stead of writ
ing him that it was unsafe and un-
wise, did the ignorant fellow wrong,
too.

THE HOOKER PLACE.
Can This Property Be Secured For a
Public Park?

All our citizens realize that the
- Hooker Place, with its wide lawn,
its trees, shrubs and flowers, has con
tributed greatly to the beauty of our
village It also has an historic interest
for the house was built by Jonathan
Hunt nearly one hundred years ago and
was his residence while he was a mem
Der OF congress, from 1927 to 1892,
when he died in office There is ira
dition that Daniel Webster passed a
night in this house as the guest Of Mr..
Hunt. Col George W. Hooker was ser
geant-at arms of the national house Of
representatives in the 47th congress.
Business blocks built on High and
Main streets would cramp those streets
land decidedly change the appearance of
that part of our village. Now people
wish that the town could have bought
the entire Hooker property, including
the land to be occupied by Manley
Brothers garage, possibly with few
feet added, by persuasion, from Mr.
Crosby's slope.
Can this property be secured for &
public park? The statute is probably
broad enough to give the town author
ity to buy it for that purpose, but il
is doubtful whether a vote could bc
obtained in view Of the town $ present
Indebtedness and the high cost of liv
ing. An association might be created
with power to Issue stock, say in 500
shares, so that citizens of moderat,
means could contribute by BUYING
stock. This is Mr.. Hopkins 5 plan. II
that ease the association would owl

Ipersons might furnish the money an,
have the property decided directly t
the town which would thereafter main
tain it. We could name men, who. W
guess, would subscribe $1,000 apiece
but whether $4,000 or thereabouts
could be raised by either method is
question. Action will have to be tax

"Sunday baseball in Rutland has
reached about the lowest level of com
mercialism possible. Last Sunday s at

While the Rutland News does not ad-
vocate professional or commercial base

permission of the game on Sunday for
purely recreative and amusement pur-
poses and then only at hours when it
does not conflict with church services
and in fields where it does not offend
those who regard it as sabbath desc

1t is time to start right now to pre-
pare something in the way of a fitting
celebration and welcome to the Com
pany | boys when they return. They
did not have a chance to distinguish
themselves under fire, nor did they suf-
fer from actual ant in the tented
field, but they offered their services
willingly for their country, ready to
assume any duty they might be called
upon to perform, no matter how diff
cult or dangerous it might be- It was
the spirit they showed that we should
remember. They have not had straw
berry ice cream kind of time this
summer, and when they come back we
ought to show them that we are proud
of them and glad to have them home
again. Who's going to start some
thing? We IL help.
