FITZPATRICK SAYS
BUILD AT PRESENT
People Who Wait for Lower
Prices Will Hold Off for
Years.
GIVES REASONS FOR IDEA

F. w. Fitzpatrick, chief archi-
tect for the Bankers Realty Invest
ment company, who has but recently
come to Omaha from the east and
VINO IS in 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, we'll and good; but they must
not fondly hope for such restoration
in less time. hear talk about things
being on a more stable basis in four
or five months. Utterly farcical. Even
if war stops tomorrow it will take two
years to disband the European armies,
, while meantime, and for long alter
ward, there will be demands upon us
for machinery, materials, even food,
equal to those of the present. And
at the same time our stocks have
been depleted and running low, so

THE Chicago Mayor Should Be Driven From
His Post and the Kountze Memorial Should
Repudiate the Utterances of Its Pastor"
The following Editorial wN appear this ueek of
The Omaha Nebraskan
THE WORK AT HOME
THE WORK AT HOME

American cause, cody 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 i'll Omaha
will be OF no service if we shall not
build in this city an American sent-
mcnt so strong that no man will dare
asSail the cause upon which the per-
petuity and the honor of our coun.
try must depend,
The clergyman who has undertaken
to brand Americas war as Wilson's
war" has said enough to win for him
self the brand CT the kaiser's clergy
man" Unless the official board or
the members OF the kountze Me-
mortal church shall repudiate this
clergyman's utterances, their institu-
ton will have won the brand, "thc
kaiser's church"
Is this the language of an extrem-
list? 1t is not. 1t 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 service to be rendered by
every man, woman and child in Amer
lea, As it will be the duty of Amer
lean 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 Omaha the duty OF the hour is
this; Let the official board or the
members of Kountze Memorial repu-
date the reasonable, 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-
tons he has received puts the burden
upon the board and members OF that
church. In the name Of my country
| dispute the Americanism of this cler-
gyman and | solemnly challenge tue
Americanism of his church, That
church will either meet this challenge
in way to be expected OF an Amer
lean institution and act in the namey
and for the fame Of America or it viii
forever wear the brand which has
now burned itself scarlet into the rep
utation of~Chicago's mayor.
III '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 tenn
porize. They will not be deferred
from speaking out i'll protest against
every reasonable 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 give new inspiration to
those who want to be faithful and to
rebuke those who intend to be dis
loyal. They will speak it from the
housetops, they will write it,upon the
walls, they will burn it into the hearts
of men-and they will be heard.

Men could hardly believe their eyes
when they read the words of this un-
American mayor, yet he has said from
conspicuous position what many
other men have said from obscure
positions. Not a hamlet in America
but the people can testify to the ex-
istence OF some sentiment such as
that expressed by the Chicago mayor.
The secret service has al important
duty TO discharge and il is dong it
well. But a public sentiment, stead
lastly cultivated along American lines,
can do much 10 protect our country.
II there is no law for the internment
OF the Chicago mayor, public senti-
ment should drive him from his posi-.
ton. We cannot afford TO trfc with
anything that is an approach to trea-
son. We cannot afford to permit any
one TO imagine that he can. with i'm
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
scared with treason will be deferred
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 i'll
Omaha.
More than two weeks ago the Rev.
DR.. Baltzly. pastor of the Kountze
Memorial church in Omaha, gave to
the Omaha Daily News this inter
view.
Il will not respond to President
Wilson's appeal TO urge cooperation
in view OF the war. am not at all III

lieye is Mr. Wilson's war.
"In my judgment, ii 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?
u have no encouragement for what
| believe is Mr.. Wilson's war"
Several days later speaking to a
representative Of The Omaha Bee, DR..
Baltzly confirmed this interview and
added;

The people OF England lived for a
long time in "thc kingdom of the
blnd"-and they paid the penalty,
lust as America will pay the penalty
il il does not soon awaken.
For long time the people OF Eng
land wandered aimlcsSly i'll "a fools
paradise" And all that time treason,
in high places and in low places,
stalkcd 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 life they had been
sheltering men whose business it was
to give information to the enemy.
They had neglected tie duty Of
arousing their own people 10 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 10 drop few shells into
Boston or New York. Certainly some
thingis necessary in order to arouse
the American people to 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
thanklcss task. Assailed and con-
demned by those who will never
sympatilizc with America as against
Germany, criticized by politicians who
habitually keep their eye on the
German vote" these men are regard
ed as extremists" They are not up
held by the timid ones, who, while
really patriotic, have the habit of
walking on egg shells'-just as so
many good people in England did
until England had lis rude awakening.
In this, as in every other crisis,
eternal vigilance is the only course
for those who want to be faithful TO
America.
