may we'll prove Of the greatest Importance

special military value, and "A great ex-

PRESS COMMENT.
WASTE IN CONTROVERSY.

II is strange how people conclude
that long articles on plain '''atters OF
conviction will help their oause, what
ever may be the side they ,..~c. They
never change ones mind, they confirm
1T, rather.
If that opinion needs lot Of details
and standpoints to confirm it, that very
fact makes the opinion doubtful, If you
take a self-evident truth and extend 1T
to 50 words IL will become less self-evidcnt
extend it to 100 words and it will lose It's
scll-evident entirely. That Is usually
the state of controversy which always
leads one farther from the truth. Still
il is natural for one to dispute and we
suppose he will never get out of the
habit until he gets to Heaven. But the
disputation is not SO much the wrong
