THE Les Angeles Express in refer

THE Les Angeles Express in refer- ring to. a recent article in the Tue son Star says: "Thc Tucson Star expresses the regret "that there is no neutral ground on which men can meet for an honest difference of opinion" Thls Is, perhaps, drawing it too strong. But there is lament, able want of courtesy among men when they find themselves antago nized on questions upon which there is an honest difference of opinion. Legitimate facts and fair mode of reasoning are soon abandoned fer charges of treachery and mendacity and yituperative oplthets. And when bad blood is stirred up, there is no telling to what extremes men will go. As the logical outgrowth of this habit, many most excellent men have been drawn into deadly encounters, in winch one or both have laid down their lives. We could never understand why men should think les of each other be- cause they differ on question, be it ever so important. One person may meet another with the lie, or knock him down or shoot him upon the street, or on the field of honor,' and the truth remains the same. By such means nothing is vindicated and nobody is satisfied. As long as the human mind is constituted as it is, men will differ-and differ widely upon important questions, and there is no way to make them change ex cept to present such proof as is con- vincing. It is a splendid sight to see two well. trained intellects meet in the clash of joint discussion, when each refuses to use any weapons save those that belong to legitimate disputation. On the other hand gross personalities are simply con- temptible."
