Mr. Davis for what he perceives as his responsibilities, nor has it printed any expression of support for any of the arguments that have been stated. We have merely tried to report, as accurately and completely as possible, the issue and the positions taken by the Commonwealth’s Attorney, the Sheriff, and the members of the Board of Supervisors.
RECENTLY, an editorial did express displeasure with Mr. Davis’s advice to the Board of Supervisors on another matter—the attempts of the Board to prevent persons from carrying loaded firearms around in their vehicles. Mr. Davis took exception to the editorial, and his answering statements were printed at great length in the Rappahannock News.
We have no apologies for our position—unless it was predicated upon insufficient information—and we are sure Mr. Davis, or any other public official or private citizen, knows that we will be always willing to publish points of view which may be at variance with ours.
That, in our view, is an entirely proper function of a newspaper. Open] frank discussion and debate is the way to improve a community, not “polarize” it,_ □
