nature To escape from the monotony OF toll

ing for your answer to my letter of
Nov. q want to chat a little with
you. Your letter to Walsh has sort
of puzzled me again. Why do you
accuse him of slOvenly thinking
while you fail yourself in opening a
clear road to the right understanding
of your individual views? Hard
thinking is hard if we want to follow
your mode Of reasoning. We may
try with all our might to find some
trace of a principle in your letters;
it is all in vain. You speak of ma
jority rule one time and at another
time we are told that it is a minority
rule by the consent of the majority.
You are complaining against nui-
sance, without bothering yourself to
tell us how it. can be stopped. If you
want to show us wrong that is in
a certain view, you have to bring
your own view to the foreground. No
thesis can be properly and success
fully attacked without putting up an
antithesis.
The wrong thing in Walsh was
that he tried to contradict you with
out first asking what your principles
really are. Principle, as / under
stand it, is a compact of certain
views on certain subjects which have
grown to a conviction. In order to
make clear what your convictions
are, and how you attained them and
made them your principles, you have
to explain them very thoroughly.
This cannot be done by criticizing
other mems views and other mems
convictions, or by assailing thesis,
but only by telling what you believe
for yourself to be the right thing. BY
doing this you will make it much
easier for US to reach a conclusion.
The way you reason is like this:
Eating too many potatoes is not
good; refuse to eat too many pota-
toes; people are becoming the slaves
