The Wairarapa Daily. THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1885. MR PARK BOYCOTTED.
I « I .1. Mr PARK as a member and delegate of the North Wairarapa County Settlers Association has been boycotted by Mr R, S. Hawkins the president of that notable institution. The letter written by Mr Hawkins to Mr Pakk which we published yesterday was admirably logical, but it was not by any means a nice letter, or an epistle which in cooler moments even : a Mr Hawkins will be able to. regard with complacency. It was a letter from a '.' lord of many Bcres" to a poor Government clerk saying "If you don't get out of my way I will ruin you." It smacks too strongly of the man rich in flocks and herds who goes for the one ewe lamb of his poorer neighbor. We are disposed to consider that Mr Hawkins, unaccustomed to
meet with opposition.on the part of members of the Association he has founded, has, in a moment of irritation allowed bis feelings to get the better of his.judgment Mr..PAEK has enjoyed the privileges of being a member of .the Association for more than a year, without his position having been challenged, No one can doubt that if instead of speaking against ■! Mr' Hawkins' road and railway pbifeji'Ae;'.;h# advocated id, the -letter'■•■ftonv ;Mr ] Hawkins threatening-"hinVwif h". the Itijjs; of his billet would never-'have,teen': written. It is plain as a pikestaff that it was Mr,sAiß's opnosition|o»Mi
Hawkins that elicited the retort which has compelled him to retire from the Association. This episode illustrates tire- fact:that. the most -intolerant of mortals are those who preach toleration, and that those who are most eloquent in claiming freedom of speech for themselves are the' first to deny it to their 'fellovv'iiien. "'The'turning- of Mr Park out- of "the Association; will ssriousjy injure Mr Hawkins' position : as. s a public man in this district. Mr Hawkins has, since . his arrival in the Wairarapa, been an exceedingly active, anti-useful settler in many, ways, and it is to be regretted that by aujn..discretion; of- this character, his. 'influence and reputation should'''tie. impaired. We do not think much of the plea that the communication to Mr KRK"w'as'a 'private Tetter. A private threat is something worse .than a /pilblic'bhe, and' we sincerely trust;thafc : Mv HAwkins does' not claim the privilege 'of secretlyboycotting his pppotieitts.'- Ml'Hawkins is like a'good many'-.other --radical leaders,.,,:.; He professes, the widest possible sympathy with his fellow men, but if one of them ,does,happen' .tb.'come in his way-he ooks round for a dynamite cartridge..
