Referring to the fact that Messrs. Neal and
Stevens have been carrying ON temperance
discussion ouer their osUn names, the Bangor
Wing says: "This is the proper way of conduct-
ing newspaper discussions or of printing COM
municatons upon all centroverted TOPICS
Writers who are unwilling to put their names
to what they write show either an excessive
modesty, or that they intend to say that for
which they are unwilling to take the open re-
sponsibility or in the soundness and truth of
which they do not feel over confident. The
example has been well set by the writers in
the Press, and we trust it will be followed, as
it ought to be in the discussion of all contro-
verted subjects, hereafter" az -ot .ff.f. /
