The Shirker.
Qdaho Council OF Defense. J

1t is going to be uncomfortable
for the shirker in Idaho. War
burdens were not meant TO be car
riei by the few. While no outward
census has been taken since the
United States entered the war, the
public, speaking broadly, has
registered subconscious invoice.
1t is quite familiar in general
way with those who have respond
ed readily to the calls for support
from the nation, and those who
have not. A line of deviation has
been drawn in the public mind.
This line, as we enter the war
more deeply, will become more
sharply defined. Gradually many
of those who realize they are not
doing their bit will move to the
right side and buckle into the
harness prepared to make willing
sacrifices. Others will continue
to hesitate to do SC. They will
remain on the wrong side. In
their respective communities they
will become known as shirkers. II
will not be very pleasant classi-
hcation.
The people of Idaho do not
want an intentional injustice done
to any one. But they do want
their neighbors to exhibit the
proper spirit of patriotism to the
extent they will part with some OF
their worldly wealth to help Uncle
Sam out; to give some of their
time to assisting IN the perform
ance of numerous duties this
nation has a right to expect of its
citizens in time of trouble; to fee
some responsibility in the crisis
that threatens their very firesides
If they continue TO show disregard
and lack of interest especially
when they have no right to dc
either, they may expect public
opinion to draw its own conclus
ions.
This war is making strange bed
fellows. Men are made and un
made with the rapid passing o
time, continually punCtuated with
stirring events. Those from whom
the least is expected, sometime:
make the greatest sacrifices, anC
those from whom the. most wa
confidently looked for, not infre
quently fail.
In Idaho the time is rapidl'
passing when just ap pearance will
count. 1t is what you are doing
what sacrifices you are making
what you are giving and how yo
are helping that will shake ava
the veneer. If those financial
able to help do not, hey need fee
no reproach at smart ing criticisr
and plain accounting. from thel
fellowmen. If those able to hel
perform the task which the
country places on them, do nc
cheerfully accept the burden, the
t need feel no resentment at bein
] called a shirker. For shirkel
they will be. Satisfy your ow
f conscience as to which side of tt
r line you are on. Dig in and hell

at one Of the Water street stores Mon
day where sugar was being disposed Of
to certain parties, the salesman in
question was referred to L. L. Walton.
the county chairman of the Food Ad-
ministration and this official in turn
took the matter up with Leon S. Mer-
rill Of the Federal State Food Ad-
ministration by telephone. Mr.. Mer-
rilrs response was to the effect that
merchant under prevailing conditions
has the right to do as he pleases re-
garding the sale Of sugar and that the
State Administrator prefers that each
grocer shall sell sugar to his regular
customers in preference to persons
who do not ordinarily trade at his
store. From this ruling then it was
determined that the salesman in ques-
ton was doing nothing outside Of the
law
