It does no particular harm to surmise a thing so long as public expression is not given thereto. When, however, an individual utters what he believes might be the fact, and yet does not know it to be so, is guilty of an act more likely to injure than to benefit. Several false reports have been current of late which have elicited no little wonder as to how they could have originated. The best method is to not indulge in guess work when it comes to discussing other individuals and their business affairs.
