Scenery doesn't look as good as a bottle of milk to most babies, but "Bobble” Clyde Lockwood, sop of Mr and Mrs. Clyde Lockwood of Kansas City, who Is'only 9 months old, Is an exception. "Bobbie,” a lively chubby baby will) no end of smiles for everyone, has traveled fully 10,000 miles since open liij/' his wide eyes for the first time, according to his mother. In other words "Bobble" has had an average of 1,111 miles of scenery laid out before him each month of his life, or some 37 miles a day. And he thrives on it! Off to Europe. And now "Bobble,” with his father and mother, is preparing for an ocean voyage and three montha in half a dozen countries of Europe. "Bobble" evidenced his enthusiasm over these plans by cooing loudly and smiling widely and bouncing up and down vigorously as they were being dis cussed. Mrs. Lockwood, formerly an Omaha girl, is visiting her closest friend. Mrs. C. C. Lohrman of the Glenarlo apartments, 5103 Capitol avenue. Prior to leaving for Europe, "Bob ble” is getting ready for his ocean voyage by splashing vigorously in the Lohrman bathtub, and if he takes to the Atlantic as he takes to the bathtub the voyage will be a com plete success, in the opinion of Mr» Lohrman, Seasoned Traveler. "Of course. 'Bobbie' isn't walking or talking as yet,” said Mrs. Lohr man, "but I'm sure ho could swim.” "The doctor says the trip to Europe won't hurt 'Bobble' in the least,” explained Mrs. Lockwood. "I'm sure it won’t, because even though he is only 9 months old, he is a seasoned traveler, you see. He sleeps alone in an upper bertli on trains and we never worry about him, although of course we go£ up and see how he's getting along quite often.” The Lockwoods expect to visit Den mark, England, France, Switzerland and possibly Spain and the Holy lands. | Calles Dines I With Coolidge __ Mexico’s President-Elect Ex presses Admiration for U.

The promote! ' said they had no Idea of propaganda in arranging the affair, but had received bo many pro tests that they would change the date, particularly as Kreisler h.maelf had telegraphed to them to the effect that lie thought the objections were well founded and that Armifltic day wm a j tactless choice.

'S}Jt> i Charles Edison, chairman of the board of directors of the Thomas A. Edison Industries, Inr., of East Orange, N. J., has found business conditions good throughout the coun try despite the fact that this Is a presidential year. The young man, son of the famous Inventor, Is tn Omaha on his swing of the middle nest. He Is accom panied by Mrs. Edison. "I am favorably Impressed with Omaha, ' he declared. ‘ Bankers and business men seem tn be prospering. everybody looks happy end the weather Is Ideal." The head of the Edison company said that the phonograph was becom ing more and more of a business asset annually. He was referring particularly to the Edlphone, which Is put out by his concern. While in Omaha he conferred with Harry Kerer of the All Mtkes Typewriter company, 205 South Eighteenth street, and Hugo O. Heyn, manager pf the Edlphone dlvisnn of the company. Heyn put Omaha on the honor roll of nine cities which led In the dis tribution of Edlphones last year. -1 Democratic Presidents Borrowed to Run Government in Peace Times The rail Just Issued by (he repub lican administration to redeem $1JR, 000.000 In government bonds recalls the fact that these were Issued under a democratic president (Cleveland) In 1S95 and marked the second occasion when the United States borrowed money to pay running expenses In peace time. The first sale to provide money to run the -government alio came In Cleveland's administration. Cleveland Sets Precedent. Thus a precedent was established, but Mr. Cleveland was firmly de terrnined to maintain the credit of the government, lie wrote that he “had a congress on his hands" and that congress opposed him to the ut most. It was a congress of his own party, hut was largely made up of free silver men, under the leader ship of "Oliver Dick" Bland of Mis souri and William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska, who attacked the preside ni at every opportunity. The whole affair occasioned much public discussion and the heated cam palgn of IR'Jfi was found on the Issue brought forward by the action of President Cleveland. He maintained the credit of the government, but lost landing with hiH party. The election of McKinley on a platform with a gold plank forever fixed the standard of money In the United States. It is Interesting, too, to record the fart that no more borrowing in peace time was experienced until after Woodrow was seated. Then the sec retary of treasury, William Gibbs Sic Adoo, resorted to the Issuance of treasury certificates in sntlcipatlon of revenue collections. This went on until Andrew Mellon came Into the treasury snd found I",000,000,000 of these short time notes awaiting re demptlon. 23 BARS OF CRUDE SILVER ARE STOLEN Twenty-three bars of crude silver bullion were stolen from a boxcar at the smelter plant, foot of Dougins street, Thursday night.
