    THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY. MAY 4. 1917.
FITZPATRICK SAYS
BUILD AT PRESENT
People Who Wait for- Lower
Prices Will Hold Off for
Years.
GIVES REASONS FOR IDEA
F. W. Fitzpatrich, chief archi
tect for the Bankers' Realty Invest
ment company, who has but recently
come to Omaha from the east and
who isin particularly close touch
with construction matters all over
the country, says:
"Some people talk about waiting to
build until normal times and prices
are restored. 'If such people don't
need their buildings for four or five
years, well and good; but they must
notf fondly hope for such restoration
in less time. I hear talk about things
being on a more stable basis in four
or live months. Utterly farcical. Even
if war stops tomorrow it will take two
years to disband the European armies,
Yhile meantime, and for long after
ward, there will be demands upon us
for machinery, materials, even food,
equal to those of the present. And
at the same time oiy stocks have
been depleted and running low, so
that our own wants must be met.
And those wants are not modest.
Money coming into the country and
prosperous times here will make those
wants many.
New Level Certain.
"Even when normal times are re
stored it will be a new normality.
"Never again will building prices be
where they were two or three years
ago, any more than will beef ever
be as cheap as it was when vast herds
of cattle roamed the free pastures of
the west.
"Our natural products are more
rare, harder to get; our manufactured
ones more costly to produce. It is a
new era. Besides, with as much gold
as has come into the country, a new
standard of values is established.
When a commodity is abundant it is
cheap; when money is plentiful, it
buy9 less; and there you are.
"No, if m man needs a building at
all there's absolutely no sense in
waiting. Now is the time to build.
Indeed, I believe that so thoroughly
that 'we are advising our clients to
start now, not to wait until tomorrow
or next week. Many materials went
up yesterday, another rise is possible
in a few days. True, we are protect
ing our actual and possible clients by
buying great quantities of supplies
and materials at lowest bulk prices,
but some things it was not possible
to so cover and for those our clients
must suffer, as well as ourselves, for
the peak in prices has not yet been
reached.
Pushing its Work.
"At Grand Island, at Kearney, at
Scottsbluff. at Hampton, we are dig
ging foundations and steel is on the
way, "kvhile brick and cement and
other materials are being gathered in
order to push the work at high speed.
"You may say," added Mr. Fitz-
. patrick, "that as far as the Bankers'
Realty Investment company, is con-;
:erned there will be no letting up in
construction; on the contrary, con
struction has taken an .uTded impetus.
. There is a tr neiidous amount of it
to be drjjie in the middle west and
now is the tinw to do it unless one
wants to pay slilf more for it."
Bohemians Will
Ask Independence
As Part of .Peace
The local branch of the Bohemian
National alliance has a wire that
Congressman Sabath will offer in the
house today a resolution pledging the
United States to include independ
ence for Bohemians one of the con
ditions on which peace is to be made.
The British and French commission
ers are to visit the house today and
this will be made the occasion for
.Mr. Sabath to' offer the following
resolution:
V. nema, The Bohemian National alli
ance, a peak in for 640.000 American of
Bohemian birth am) descent, believes that
at the. clone of the war the destiny of
weaker nations should of right be consid
ered In the terms of peace and because
Americans of Bohemian blood as lovers of
freedom have In great numbers helped
conserve American liberty and union, while
at this time they have voluntarily come
to the assistance of our country In larger
percentage than other race's, and
Whereas. The Bohemian struggle for na
tional Independece and safeguarding of the
identity of Its language has been going -on
for centuriea in spite of Austrian terror
ism and In spite of debasing Influences of
tyrannous Austrian bureaucracy, and
Whereas, The president In his great plea
for America's honor before the congress of
United States said: "But the right Is more
precious than peace a.nd we shall fight for
things which we have always carried near
est our hearts, for democracy, for the right
of those who submit to authority to have
a voice In their own government, for the
rights and liberties of small nations, for a
universal dominion of right by such a con
cert of free peoples as shall bring peace and
safety to all nations ,and make the world
itself at last free. To such a task we can
dedicate our lives and our fortunes, every
thing that we are and everything that we
have, with the pride " of those who know
that the day has come when America is
privileged to spend her blood and her might
for principles that gave her birth and hap
piness and the pence which she has treas
ured. Cod helping her she can do no other."
Therefore, be It
Resolved, By the senate and house of rep
resentatives in congress assembled, That
one of the conditions of peace be that Bo
hemia be made free and independent and
be given a rightful place among nations of
the world, based upon the principle laid
down by the president in his plea for an
International league, that all governments
derive their just powers from consent of
governed and for the purpose of accom
plishing this object, be It further
Kesolved, That it is the sense of the
congress of the United States that the gov
ernment shall fnalst as part of treaty of
peace that Bohemia be given freedom and
Independence.

ONE CIRCLE MAKES RECORD
So keen has become the real of.
the women working at the war relief
rooms that they not only devote all
their time to-making bandages during
the 'day, but have been working at
home in the evenings.- It is said that
the rooms of the Missc) Carrie and
Helen Millard arc stacked high with
surgican supplies, on wJiich they work
almost constantly.
Mrs. J. J. McMullcn is another ar
dent worker, who says her sun par
lor at home is a veritable workshop
and her husband remarked that there
was scarcely a place in which to sit,
since bandages occupied mwSt of the
space. Mrs. E. G. McGilton is an
other who works both at the Haird
building and at the army building
with the Daughters of the American
Revolution and the Daughters of 1912
and then takes some home-with her.
Mrs. C. L. Farnsworth is still an
other home worker. '
Accomplish Much.
"A Thursday morning circle at the
Baird building, which pas met since
the first of November, has made 3,520
compresses and 740 bandages, so that
shows what might be accomplished if
the rooms were full all the time." said
Miss Amy Gilmore. scorctay and
treasurer of the circle. ,
Mrs. C. A. Hull and Mrs. Warren
Switzlcr are designated hv the wo
men as the "pickers." They spend
the morning picking threads off the
bandages, since they are often the

The following Editorial will appear in this week 's issue of
The Omaha Nebraskan:
THE WORK AT HOME
The people of England lived for a
long time ill "the kingdom of the
blind" and they paid the penalty
just as America will pay the penally
if it docs not soon awaken.
For a long lime the people of F.ng
land wandered aimlessly in ''a fool's
paradise And all that time treason,
in Ingli places and in low places,
stalked without hindrance. Many men
who loved their country were so blind
that they could not see what was go
ing on all about them. -
Finally they discovered that in
every walk of lif they had been
sheltering men whose business it was
to kivc information to tbc enemy
Thev had neglected tire duty of
arousing their own people to the
seriousness of the situation confront
ing them.
The people of America need an
awakening, too.
Some very observing men have said
that one of the best things that could
happen to America would be for a
German ship to drop a few shells into
Boston or New York. Certainly some
thingis necessary in order to arouse
the American people tp the fact that
they are facing the greatest crisis in
their country's history.
Men who, conscious of the serious
ness of the situation, seek to dis
charge their duty in the ' effort to
bring about the awakening have a
thankless task. Assailed and con
demned by those who will never
sympathize with America as against
Germany, criticize! by politicians who
habitually keep their eye on "the
German vote." these meii are regard
ed as "extremists," They are not up
held by the timid oifes, who, while
really patriotic, have the habit of
"walking on egg shells" just as so
many good people in England did
until F.ngland had its rude awakening.
In this, as in every other crisis,
eternal vigilance is the only course
for those who want to be faithful to
America. ...
Americans have received many rev
elations in recent days. They had one
in the onluct of the mayor of Chi
cago, who refused to invite the repre
sentatives of France and England to
visit his city, on t ground that Chi
cago wa,'i "the most cosmopolitan city
in the world," andjt would be pre
sumption, on the mayor's part to as
sume that the people of that city
really wanted to entertain1 the repre
sentatives of our allies.
If Chicago Is "avosmopolitan city"
in the sense meant by the Chicago
mayor, then it is not at this moment'
an American city. If it is, as the
mayor intimated, "a German citv"
as distinguished from an American
city then it should be immediately
placed under martial law, with camps
suthcien: tor the incarceration ot
those upon whom America may not
depend.
1 he fact is that the Chicago mayor
as misrepresented his city. Unques
tionably he has faithfully represented
a large number of people living in
Chicago and1 for that very reason it is
necessary that his treasonable utter
ances be treated in all seriousness.

Men rould hardly believe their eyes
when they read the words of this un
American mayor, yet he has said from
a conspicuous position what many
other men have said from obscure
positions. Not a hamlet in Ajnerica
hut the people can testify to the ex
istence of some sentiment such as
that expressed by the Chicago mayor.
The secret service has an important
duly to discharge and it is doing it
well. Hut a public sentiment, stead
fastly cultivated along American lines,
can do much to protect our country.
If there is no law for the internment
of the Chicago mayor, public senti
ment should drive him from his posi
tion. We cannot afford to trifle with
anything that is an approach to trea
son. We cannot afford to permit any
one to imagine that he can. with im
punity, take issue with America while
enjoying the protection of America.
If public sentiment is able to make an
object lesson of the Chicago mayor,
many other men whose hearts are
seared with treason, will be deterred
from dark corner attacks upon our
country.
There is work on this line to be
done in every American city. There
is work to be done right here, in
Omaha. v
Morejhan two weeks ago the Rev.
Dr. Ballzly. pastor of the Kountze
Memorial church in Omaha, gave to
the Omaha Daily News this inter
views "I will not respond to President
Wilson's appeal lo urge co-operation
in view of the war. I am not at all in
sympathy with this war. which 1 be
lieve is Mr. Wilson's war.
"In my judgment, H autocracy is to
be dethroned, we had better begin at
home. If we fight other nations be
cause the people have had no say in
their war, why had the people of our
great democracy no chance to express
themselves?
"t have no encouragement for what
1 believe is Mr. Wilson's war."
, Several days later, speaking to a
representative of The Omaha Bee, Dr.
Ballzly confirmed this interview and
added:
"I have been more than surprised
at the most enthusiastic approval with
which my statement has been received.
Both individuals, business men and
societies have called me up to tell me
that I had expressed their views ex
actly. "Of course, when I made tJiat re
mark, 1 was only expressing my own
ideas. All day Tuesday my telephone
was ringing and I was kept busy lis
tening to words of approbation as to
my course. In fact I have had but few
adversn criticsms."
' Americans have patiently waited ex
pecting that the official board of the
members of Kountze Memorial would
repudiate the utterances of the man
who stands as the representative of
their church in this community. Al
though more than two weeks have
gone by, there has been no repudia

School Kiddies to Show
Movies at Omaha Theater

school will present moving picture

American cause, cooly tells us that he
has -been kept busy receiving con
gratulations for his attacks upon the
American cause. ,
' The display of flags and the de
livery of patriotic speeches in Omaha
will be of no service if we shall not
build in this city an American senti
ment so strong that no man will dare
assail the cause upon which the per
petuily and the honor of our coun
try must depend.
The clergyman who has undertaken
lo brand America's war as "Wilson's
w ar" has said enough to win for him
self the brand cf "the kaiser's clergy
man." Unless the official board or
the members of the Kountze Me
morial church shall repudiate this
clergyman's utterances, their institu
tion will have won the brand, "the
Raiser's church."
Is this the language of an extrem
ist? It is not. It is the calm and
studied language of an American
citizen who, impressed with the grav
ity of the crisis confronting his coun
try, dares speak in plain language and
in protest against the sowing of every
seed of treason within his community.
There is a service to be rendered by
every man, woman and child in Amer
ica. As it will be the duty of Amer
ican Chicago to drive the unpatriotic
mayor from his post, so it will be the
duty of American Omaha to beat
down the snake of treason wherever
that monster shall dare to raise its
head.
In Omaia the duty of the hour is
this: Let the official board or the
members of Kountze Memorial repu
diate the treasonable, utterances of
their pastor, or let them run the kai
ser's flag to the pinnacle of their
church tower. ,
The very fact that their , pastor
boasts of the numerous congratula
tions he has received puts the burden
upon the board and members of that
church. In, the name of my country
I dispute the Americanism of this cler-.
gymau and I solemnly challenge t.ie
Americanism of his diurch. That

Iu'every city of the land the line is
to be drawn. You are either for Amer
ica or against America. Upon this
issue men who love their country will
not compromise, they will not tem-, .
porize. They will not be deterred
from speaking out in protest against
every treasonable utterance and every
disloyal act. They will do all that is
within their power to awaken those
who sleep, to arouse those who refuse
to think, to cive new inspiration to .
those who want to be faithful and to
rebuke those who intend to be dis- . j
loyal. They will speak it from the
housetops, they will write it.upon the i
walls, they will burn it into the hearts
of men and they will be heard.
