Praise and Condemnation
The Council of Defense has
finished its work in connection
with the Fourth Liberty Loan.
The loan was a succ«s. This is
di^e to the commendable pirit
of loyalty found among the peo-
ple of the county, and to the
faithful, honest and conscientious
work of the Councils of Defense
throughout the county.
The thanks of the nation and
of all the subordinate agencies
are given to this county. Such
exemplified patriotism such uni-
form response, is a bright mark
of the county, and on the es-
cutcheon of every subscriber in
the counry.
It had been the hope of the
County Council of Defense that
there would be no "fly in the
ointment" and that every per-
son would, according t o his
known and recognized ability,
subscribe his proportion to the
bonds. In this there is disap-
pointment, which will be shared
by every good citizen of the coun-
ty.
Sixteen persons of this county
able to subscribe for such bonds
refused to subscribe. They are:
Columbia Township
Fred Heubner
J. J. McCandless
North Banner Twp.
Imogene Bates, assessed $100,
bought $50.00.
Lacey Twp.
J. P. Bradfiel
J. H. Tugles
Union Twp.
M. R. Melohey
E. B. Ester
North Forrest Twp.
W. H. Sturgeon, Assessed $150
bought $50.00.
A. Milbers, assessed $150,
bought $100.00.
North Coranado
W.Clark
Thomas Henderson
V. C Thorp
Concerning these men this
Council of Defense goes on rec-
ord as declaring that any man
who has in this campaign, and
who at any time, fails without
just reason and cause to support
the financial burdens of his coun-
try in caring for the expenses of
this war, is not only an enemy
to his country, but is the enemy
of every loyal citizen and of so-
ciety generally, and is an un-
desirable citizen, deserving to
have to suffer the endless con-
demnation, the contempt and
the loathing of all people, all so-
ciety, and to be deprived of all
association of all former friends
and neighbors.
He should be shunned by all
good people. No bank, store or
deajer or other person, should
voluntiarly, nor except as an ex-
treme necessity to avoid starva-
tion of his family, voluntarily
deal with him, buy or sell to him
or extend the patronage or cour-
tesy of business. He should find
no bank willing to receive, care
for or pay out on his check, his
money, or loan to him any of its
funns.
Every pressure should be brot
j to bear that could tend to show
| to such an erring soul that in
J the mines of all loyal citizens he
| is regarded as a moral traitor to
| his country, and the betrayer of
j every one of its loyal citizens,
i and to be entitled to less consid-
| eration than are those who are
j alien in fact.
"Whosoever is not for us. is a-!
'gainst us." "By their works
shall ye know them."
And in this statement of the
Council of Defense we invite all i
to join, and make effective until
such time, if it shall come, as |
these men shall turn repentant j
from their error, and by suitable j
righting of their wrong, be re-
stored to the fellowship and con-
fidence of those whose esteem, J
friendship and associaeion they I
have now forfeited.
