To hear q man gay that the publ
cation Of a towns deficiencies, and
Reglectfulnfs on the part OF her
"itizens to improve certain bad con-
'iitions Il extremely Injurious to the
town, is Inc the minds OF up-to-date
people IN Indication that that man

The Press Ia in receipt Of a letter
which plainly Implies that the Board

II assumes (as the writer sHys) to
advocate the cleaning up Of vacant
OTIS, the improvement Of streets and
sidewalks, and the other items that
have been considered by the Civic
Improvement Committee Of the Board
Df Trade. This letter writer further
says that he ''never heard OF trades
body meddling in such matters" He
also says that the agitation doee
more harm to the town than good,
as the strangers attention Is called
to the bad conditions existing, where
as, II nothing were said matters
would adjust themselves and the
town would not be known as a
town with unsightly vacant lots and
wretched sidewalks"
This Is indeed intelligent argu-
ment. 1t is on par with the claims
put forth by politicians who have
robbed municipalities and who made
the cities the laughing stock of other
places. These hooters decry reform
movements because they fear expo
sure. They wish to make their
auditors believe that the claims set
forth by the refofmers will work
dreaded injury to the towns. They
narrowly permit themselves to believe
that the setting forth OF the ills OF
the town In their true light so that
che who runs may read" will bring
distress. But bigOtry and narrow
mindedness have always given way
before the attacks OF clear headed
