SUBSIDIARY COINAGE.
NEWSPAPER Controversies are, as a rule, to be deprecated, and it is with extreme reluctance that we enter upon a con- sideration of an attack made upon us to-day by a contemporary. We will be forgiven if we refer at some length to an article in our issue of July 31 which formed the excuse for our contemporary'e belligerency. In that article we said that confusion of thought seemed to
sary nad unwarranted. Our contem porary should know to whom we refer when wo spoke of the "Absurdi, Impos- sible" argument. It has never to our knowledge used expressions anything like those quoted, nor has it adopted the attitude that such an argument denotes. It simply holds one view of how the problem should be grappled with, we hold another. Surely that is no reason for filling the air with the literary dust of battle.
