would be strange indeed if every
body saw things alike. We claim
the right to speak out on any ques-
ton of public interest and to make
such suggestions on all matters. as
in our opinion seems right, and we
would be very unfair not to con-
cede this privilege to others. We
are all human beings, having sprung
from one common source, fighting
the same battles of life, and aiming
for the same final goal. Any paper
secular or religious, is likely to ex-
press some views that may
not meet your approval. But that
same paper may say many other
things that are good to your way
of thinking. So take what appears
to you good and leave the other
alone. If we differ, let us differ like
fairminded. honest individuals. It's
a mighty small man who has no re-
spect for anybody's opinion except
his own"
