Baby, 9 Months Old, Has Traveled 10,000 Miles;
Now Prepares in Omaha Bathtub for Ocean Voyage
“He Can’t Talk, Rut I’m
Sure He Could Swim,”
Says Hostess.
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.

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.

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.
K. Schaek, transportation super
intendent, who reported the theft to
police, said the bars are valued at
ntrout $10 each.
