E VERY community, whether It will or not has its outposts, tlioso who stand ready to make cr mar Its reputation among outsid ers, visitors and newcomers. Wo know woll enough that many ti com n.fihlty as well as ninny nn Individ ual has suffered lilsllfo long from misrepresentation and calumny that owed Its origin to tho Ignornuco or malice of persons with a penchant for slander. It is for every commun ity to determine) for Itsolf whether It shall bo known to tho rest of tho world through tho mouths of Its enemies of tlioso of Its friends; whether It shall permit Inquirers to dcrlvo their Information from those as Ignorant as themselves or from thoso who aro well Informed regard ing matters of moment to the com munity In tho making up of that mass ol Information, that shall determine its reputation before tho world. Can It bo a matter of no Import ance to the rcspoctnhlo citizens of n community that strangers aro told that Its pooplo aro Ignorant, dlscntir tcouo, unnpprcctatlvo, backward and Inhospitable? That Itn schools aro Inefficient, that Its churches aro tin-, supported and that Its people cannot bo got together on any subject of Interest and Importance to tho com munity wolfnro? It may bo venlurod that thoro aro few communities that do not suffer from misrepresentation of this sort. Whllo pooplo who aro familiar with conditions can mako duo allowance for slanderous stories of this sort, the stranger may not do so; and often he leaves with an unfavorable op. inlon of tho people and tho common !t only bocuuac ho camo ' contact with tho community's enemies In stead of Its friends.
