A SUGGESTION

How Garfield County treats it's
bond and Red Cross slackers is des-
cribed this week in the paper pub
lished at Pomeroy, and The Tribune
takes a great deal of pleasure in re-
printing the account, because of the
suggestion given in it of how to hand
lie unpatriotic citizens of this un-
pleasant type:
Says the Pomeroy paper:
"The Patriotic League of Colfax
publishes A. M. and B. N. Butcher
as liberty bond slackers and sends
letter to Pomeroy, containing the fol-
lowing paragraph:
The patriotic league has published
these men here as slackers and has
asked all people here to ostracize
them socially, commercially and ev-
cry other way. We give this inform
alton as patriotic citizens and may
we ask the people of Pomeroy to
likewise treat them as social out
casts
1.-The matter was put before meet
ing of the Pomeroy commercial club,
and the following resolution passed
by the club:
Whereas: A. M. Butcher and b.
N. Butcher of Wordesville p. o., Gar
field County, Washington, each have
insolently refused to purchase Liber-
ty bonds, or Thrift Stamps, notwith
standing they are amply able to do
SO:
Therefore, Be it resolved, that it
is the sense of Pomeroy Commercial
Club, that it's members and all patri-
otto citizens refrain from all assoc
iation commercially, socially or 9th
erwise with the said A. M. Butcher

and B. N. Butcher and all other per-
sons financially able, who have refus-
ed to purchase Liberty Bonds or
Thrift Stamps, or to contribute to the
Red Cross.
1T is further resolved that a COM
mittee be appointed to notify all bust
ness men of Pomeroy, Starbuck, Col
fax and Lewiston and all country
stores of this action and urge them
to refrain from any dealings or assoc
iations with all such "Slackers.
