LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR
Punishment Remedial and vindictive.

Editor, Barre Daily Times: Perhaps
there is no subject of more vital inter
est TO the real progress of Christian
ity in its application to human needs
than clear understanding OF the dl-
vine mission of punishment.
The Greek word, kolasin. translated
punishment in our English Bible,
means ito correct, to reform, to bring
to obedience" and that is its only
meaning If IL were yindictive or end
less in duration it would contradict
and defeat the very purpose for which
it was diyinely ordained, As RENE
dial agency, it is in perfect accord with
all recent agitation for prison reform,
and was so defined and taught by the
learned Origen, president Of the first
theological school established in the
early Christian church. Its purpose, he
declared, was remedial" not yindic-
tive.
But, alas When the tidal wave Of
heather darkness eclipsed the Chris
tian church for a thousand years,
known in ecclesiastical history as "the
dark ages the benign intent Of pun
ishment was lost sight Of and the few
who still called themselves Christians
too willingly adopted the heather idea
of punishment and embodied it in their
creeds, which were much more heather
than Christian.
After a thousand years of heather
darkness came what was called the re
formation" and yet Martin Luther, the
accredited leader thereof, as well as the
iron. willed and vindietive Calvin did
not hesitate to proclaim the same
heather ideas of punishment as vindic-
tive and not as reformatory in pur-
pose.
Accordingly, for the past 400 years
some of the leading so-ealled orthodox
denominations have persistently advo-
Gated the hanging of the bodies and
the endless damnation of the souls OF
men "for the glory of God as it has
been so often or so boldly advocated of
late as formerly.
And vet there is much cause for re.
ioicng that the leavening influence of
more humane and liberal gospel has
SO modified and changed the old vim
dictive ideas of punishment's rightful
mission tnAJ suCH - bclHN Httat Ahai
ever before framed into human laws.
No wonder then that the recent ad
dresses of w H. Jeffrey and Sheriff
Tracy on prison reform were 50 well
received and highly approved by Plain
field audiences. Well did they both con
tend that prisoners can never be re-.
formed By the old cruel methods prac.
ticed in prisons Society has an IN
doubted right to take away the liberty
Of wrong doors who are not safe to
run at large, but not to infiict punish
ment in a yindictiye spirit God has
wisely attached rewards and penalties
to every act Of man, and that Is His
business He deals Justly with individ
uals through the cOnsciences and makes
no mistakes. No act Of cruelty ever
won a human soul. while kindness, wise
w administered. has great winning
power II is true that some dispositions
are slow TO appreciate and yield to
kindness and thereby delay their own
reformation. but the methods now be-
ing practiced in our prisons and hu-
name institutions deserve the approval
OF all and should include improvement
of conditions in the womens apart

between Germany and her victors IN
the war was probably unusually con-
servative in his language. The prop
osition did not show that Germany
was cognizant of the real situation;
but there is possibility that under
meath the proposition was a studied
attempt on the part of Germany to
minimize the real situation and to
make light of the efforts of the allies
to collect reasonable reparations. In
fact, the advances made by Germany
almost amounted TO insolence and were
not of such a nature to command re-
spect. No doubt this mental attitude
on the part Of Germany is in part the
development of sentiment in allied
countries that Germany was down
trodden country and could not pay the
heavy reparations demanded by the al
lies. Presuming upon that sentiment
of magnanimity in the allied nations,
Germany put forth ridiculous pro-
posal. Those who have studied condi-
lions in Germany assert that the
country is going to work with a will
and that the country is taking on signs
of prosperity not so noticeable in many
other countries affected by the war.
Therefore, weak kneed attitude on the
part of the allies would not be justified
by fact.

ROTARY HEARS
TRAIL HISTORY
Managing Director Of OLD Spanish Trais
Given Rotary Hour Yesterday
Afternoon.

The entire social hour of the lunch
con of the Rotary club, held yesterday
at the Restawhile tea rooms, was given
over to Harrel b. Ayres, managing di-
rector of the Old Spanish Trail. and
publisher of the Spanish Trail Maya
zine, with headquarters at San Antonio
Texas Mr.. Ayres was introduced to
the club by t. l.. Cant. chairman OF
the Joint Good Roads committee. The
meeting was turned over to Mr.. Cant
by President Max Bear as soon as
luncheon was over.
In speaking of the project Mr.. Ayres
said that there had been tendency OF
other highways in stealing portions OF
part of its course in other roads AT
the Old Spanish Trail by Incorporating
a meeting of delegates appointed by
the governors of the various states held
recently it was decided that any por-
tion of the trail might be used as
link of other highways, but these other
highways would lose their identity when
they connected with the trail and would
become a part of the Old Spanish Trail.
''San Antonio is routing about LOO
tourists each month"; said Mr.. Ayres,
through Southern states and these
tourists cannot drive their cars through
past New Orleans without long delay
and loss of time and crossing over very
bad roads. With the completion of the
Trail most of the tourists would come
through and would come by Pensacola.
Tourists from the North come by
automobile to San Antonio. and we have
not accommodations for them there.
They decide to take the westward trip
from San Antonio because of the i'm
passable roads eastward" he continued.
tOn account of this fact, West Florida
is losing an opportunity of entertaining
thousands of winter visitors"
Other than the members of the Ro-
tary club the county commissioners and
members of the Joint Good Roads as
ISOLATION were present at the meeting
yesterday.
