becoming startling menace-the in

found in business. 1t is found every
where. The reputation of no man and
no woman is safe against vicious as
sault. Instances of this kind are ap-
pallingly numerous. The national politi-
cal campaign just closed was full of
such instances. 1t came to be known
as a whispering campaign" If this
evil Is not checked, 1t will bring upon
this country more misery, more blight.
more suspicion and more all-around
evil than any potential menace of the
times. Start the tongue of scandal to

against it.
