that would onl y mean that their way of thinking about this par tlcular matter Is contrary to yours. A disagreement between two men about given matter is not proof within itself that one of the parties is unreasonable. {. The trouble with all such cases is simply conflict of ideas-a difference in thinking. The gravamen is right here. There never was more reasonable set of people on earth than these Monticellonians. You know that. There has simply arisen con fiict in our thinking on the ques- tion of public bedrooms. You and number of others think that pool-rooms are nice things to have i'll community, but my thinking is the oppsite of yours and evidently the think ing of the majority of the con- munity Is opposed to your think ing.
 You have lived somewhat longer than 1 have, and 1 am more than willing to defer to you as my senior, but with all becoming modesty dare to say for myself that 1 have not been asleep dur ing the days that 1 have been in public life. It has been my lot to live in five states, and in all places l have been much among the people, and one of my main studies has been the book of hu- man nature. If it takes, as some say ali sorts of folks to make a world, then 1 can say from absolute observation, that this one in which we live sure : ly meets the requirements. As well known humorist was fond of saying, "This world Is round and funny When 1 was quite young fellow, and didn t know very much for myself and on my own account, 1 used to 20 almost altogether by what other people said, bnt for several years now 1 have been going by what 1 have found out from first hand investigation. 1 have test ed out so many cases that have created me some rules of my own. When 1 know few things about a man 1 can make out the balance of his case from data al- ready in hand. When l came to the community of Monticello now nearly five years ago, knew no one here. The first thing l did was to apply myself to learning everything about the people that 1 needed to know. 1 1 can now almost tell what any citizen of the town would do or say under any given cireum- stance, and had to learn only a very few things in order to be able to do that. When a mar goes to church regularly, and listens sympthetically to what the preacher says and contributes ungrudingly of his material sub stance to every good cause, ane stands up for religion and tenn. perance everywhere, then nine times out of ten 1 can tell you any thing you want to know a
 bout that man. So also, when [ man never darkens the door of a church, and grumbles when he | is asked to make contribution to a good cause, and slurs relig ion habitually, and condones in

 self the credit, to subscribe for the Monticelloian, and pay for 1t and read 1t regularly. You and l do not always see things alike, but l have all along noted with admiration the absolute fairness with which you habitually treat those who disagree with you. | There may be a few kinks in your theology as we'll as in some of your views about the way the affairs of the community should be conducted, but everybody knows that you are no hypocrite about anything. 1t is easy to have any sort of dealings with you, for no one ever has the slightest difficulty in understand ing you. You are that sort of man which one can disagree with most cordially and yet never feel the slightest bit ruffled. Your preacher friends have but one objection to getting into an ar gument with you, and that is the fact that your old noggin contains thinking machine, in which little two by four preach CTS might get themselves power fully tangled up. At any rate 1 am one of the aforementioned kind of preachers with temerity enough to make at least one lit tie pass at what was said in last weeks Iontieellonian under the caption, "There Should be Reas- on in all Things"
 There are several statements in your article to which 1 would like to address myself, but I could not ask you for enough of your valuable space to contain a long article. In my remarks for the present shall confne myself cheifly to the good old word treason which stands out prom inently among the terms of your caption. This is word to con iure with, but 1t is one poor word that has always had my most profound sympathy. 1 al- ways did dislike to see anybody, or anything overworked. 1 ev- en get sorry for word when it is compelled to work over time. This unfortunate word reason" has had to carry all the real truth that has ever come to this world, and at the same time every pretext and excuse and fabrication that seeks recogni- tion among men must call itself "reason" or go unnotieed.
 If you will examine your un- abridged dictionary 1 think you will find that the word reason is derived from Latin RATus, which is the past participle of REoH which means to think. Mental philosophers say that man Is the only anmial which is endowed with reason, by which they mean that man is the only ami. mai that is governed by any higher faculty than simple in
 stinet. No man Is unreasonable except the man who can not and does not think. It would there
 fore be altogether absurd for me to say that man Is unreason ! able simply and only because he ? does not think like 1 do. I an : frequently told that my views o1 : certain matters is contrary tt reason, but of course when peo 3 pie say that to me they onl, $ mean that my way of thinking is l altogether contrary to theirs : When you say for example, tha, : your neighbors who are opposed ! to. pool rooms are unreasonable
The Monticellonian., 1915-02-25

temperance, 1 can nine times out of ten tell you anything you want to know about that man.
 Our community, like all other communities has smart sprink- ling of both of these sort of folks. We all understand each other perfectly we'll. 1 know what my neighbors will do and say, and they know what 1 will do and say. There will not be man in Monticello who will be in the least surprised to learn that l am opposed to public pool rooms, and can just about point out every man in Monti- cello who will be in favor of them. It goes without saying that there will be found quite sprinkling of church members in Monticello who will be in fav- of pool-rooms, but they will not be among the Sunday School teachers, prayermeetlng goers. Some church members will even play pool, but the non-professing pool players will have precious little confidence in their religion.
 Primarily then, this conflict of ideas which Is now on in Monti- cello is not with regard to the matter of pool playing, but with regard to the question of vital religion. Those who believe in the divine inspiration of the scriptures, and who want lost men brought to Jesus Christ for vation, are going to feel in spite of themselves that the pool room will be greatly in the way of the young mans religious life. Likewise those who care nothing about vital religion, and who discount the Bible, and make fun of heaven and he'll, and all that sort of thing, will not be abe to see any objections to pool-rooms nor anything else much.
 This IS the nature of the case neighbor, frankly stated, and it IS good reasoning from my point of view, and 1t Is set out with the very greatest good will for every man on earth.
 Yours always,
 J. F. Tull.
 If the above satisfies Bro. Full as an answer to our common sense article Of last week, on the question of Pool or Billiard Halls we certainly have no cause to complain. If he uses single sentence or word in his whole lengthy discourse that would not just as we'll apply to baseball, basket ball, foot ball, or either of the other games We named in our article, we are free to con- fess our inability to see it. As we did not claim that Pool or Billiards were religious games. and as Bro. Tull, does not under take to say that the other games. l (which we said Pool and Bill lizards were just as innocent) are of u religious tendency, there ap- pears to be nothing left for argu- ment between us; unless 1t is. perhaps, on the definition of the word Reason", and in that mat ter we prefer the common ac- ceptation and understanding of the word, and leave a discussion of it's roots and more technical construction to philologists.
