But it is essential to any controversy,
if it is to be of any use, first, that the
issue be clearly understood by both
sides
Most contentious amount merely to a

discussing. If possible, set down your
statements in writing
Most argument is a wandering from
the subject, a confusion of the ques-
ton, an increasing divergence from the
point. Stick to the matter in hand
When your adversary brings in sub
jects not relevant, do not attempt to
answer them. Ignore them, lest you
both go astray and drift into empty
vituperation.
Keep cool. The worse your case. the
louder your voice.
BE courteous Avoid epithets. Do
not use language calculated to anger or
oHend your opponent. Such terms
weaken the strength of your position
A controversy is a conflict of reasons
not of passions. The more heat the

officials have discovered the source or
supply of very raw "moonsh1ne,
which has been peddled about the
