"On Time All the Time"

Jewellers have started a national movement
that deserves general support. 1t is in the in
terest of punctuality. "On time all the time
means just what it says and is urged on every
body as good policy, not alone for the duration
of the war, but to be rule of life forever after
In our days of tranquility we fell into certain
habits or practices that we might now better
discard One of the most aggravating of these
was unpunctuality. In no other way was so
much valuable time wasted. A r;2n would
make an appointment for certain hour and be
few minutes late in keeping it, thus not only
interfering with his own plans, but discommod-
ing to some extent the man he was doing bust
ness with. In many other ways was the bad
habit manifested. This practice not only ex-
tended throughout the business world, but per-
meated the social life of the country. One of
our national characteristics was to be behind
hand in personal affairs. If the jewelers. can
reform this propensity and get Americans as a
nation accustomed to being where they agree
to be at the time they set, it will be an accom-
plishment on which they can rest.

Befogging the Issue Again.

The Omaha Hyphenated, through its Wash.
ington correspondent, laboriously undertakes to
create an impression that republicans in the
senate object to the presidents public utter
ances with reference to peace. In this, as in its
customary political activities, the lately &C
credited mouthpece of kaiserite propaganda is
seeking to befog the issue and to provide a
smoke screen behind which the retreat of the
German-Aliance senator may be covered.
What the republicans in the senate have OBJ
jected to is an attempt on part of some over
Jealous democrats to read into the presidents
utterances an endorsement of purely political
policies of his party. For example, it is pre-
tended that the presidents statement in opposi-
ton to war after the war" may only be inter-
peted as an endorsement Of the principle of
free trade.
These hidebound partisans overlook the fact
that one of the most hideous wrongs laid on
Serbia by Austria was an embargo on Serbian
products, which had to have an outlet through
Austrian ports, thereby enforcing economic
slavery on the little country. Against such prac-
tees the president directs his condemnation,
but it is hardly possible that he had in mind
prescribing an economic policy to be invariably
followed by any country, much less by Great
Britain, already swinging to protection; to
Canada, which is committed absolutely to the
7 doctrine, or to France, which has in principle
and generally in fact accepted the protective
tariff as sound policy.
Republicans are not trying to mess up the
presidents plans, but neither will they quietly
sit around while the democrats of the south
insert political faflacy into the foundations Of

Columbus Day: Buy Bonds.

In anticipation Of the Liberty loan drive, the
president last month suggested that the Column
bus day observation be made especially with a
view to helping the sale OF bonds. Events have
justified this. But the president and the secre-
tary OF the treasury have addressed themselves
to the public in terms of adjuration, urging that
greater efforts be put behind the loan, which is
sadly tagging. The spirit of enthusiasm that
should have made it possible to close up the
total sales of bonds within the first week is
missing, or wanting in effect. Some communi-
ties throughout the land have already oversub-
scribed their quota, but the schedule as whole
is not being met. Reasons in plenty are as
signed for this, none Of them adequate. It is
not possible that Americans are Indifferent to
what is involved; it is true they have been asked
to do a tremendous thing, but it is not bigger
than other things they have done in connection
with the war; so it will be done. Celebrate
Columbus day by buying Liberty bonds.

Why LObeck?

Omaha, Oct. 10.-To the Editor
of The Bee: Why Lobeck? Why
should the voters be asked to con-
tinue this messenger boy In con-
gress? Is it because his presence
there Is vitality necessary to winning
the war? Let us look a moment at
the record he has made. and see
how he has voted since he was first
sent to congress.
Mr.. Lobeck entered the house as
member of the 62d con-
gress, which met on March 4. 1911.
His record on preparedness has been
consistently one of opposition. In
the second session of the SD con-
gress he voted against the estab-
lished naval program OF two first
class battleships a year, and voted
with the democrats against building
any battleships.
In the third session Of the SD
congress he again voted against two
battleships, and in favor Of only one.
Later on, when the conference re-
port on the bill was before the house
he again voted against the estab-
Il led naval program.
N the SD congress, six months
after the outbreak of the European
war, Mr. Lobeck again voted against
| the naval program of two battle
| ships and in favor Of only one.
In the 64th congress, on June 2,
| 1916, Mr. Lobeck again voted against
two battleships and in favor Of but
| one.
Thus his record of opposing naval
readiness is complete and consistent.
/ His record in regard to the army Is
| equally so.
! In the SD congress Lobeck voted
in favor of abolishing five regiments
of cavalry; against giving our SOL
| diers in foreign service an additions
amount Of pay; in 1915, almost a
year after the outbreak Of the Euro
pean war, he voted against an ap-
preparation of 100000 to buy air.
planes for the army. although 1t
then had none; in 1917, just before
| America entered the war, he voted
against the Kahn amendment to in
crease the army from 10000 to 220,-
600; later he again voted against an
amendment by Kahn to increase the
! size of the army to 100000, and this
when our entry to the war was GER
| tain.
After we were in the war, Mr.. To-
beck voted against the selective draft
and in favor of the volunteer sys-
tenn, although the president wanted
the draft.
He voted against tabling the Nc
Lemore resolution, an action the
president has interpreted as voting
for it, and for which he has con-
demned other congressman.
| He voted in favor of the Cooper
amendment to the armed neutrality
bill which placed an embargo on
arms or ammunition consigned to
any of the belligerents.
| Mr.. Wilson has said: 1.-THE McLe-
more resolution, the embargo issue
and the armed neutrality measure,
presented the first opportunity to
apply the acid test in our country to
disclose true loyalty, and genuine
Americanism." And Mr.. Lobeck alb
solutely failed to meet the presl-
dents acid test as to loyalty and
| Americanism.
Is this why Lobeck?"

PUBLIC OPINION AND THE PRESIDENT.

II is plain from press comment interviews
and statements of public men, and debate on
the floors of congress, that the president in his
cautious handling of the peace offer is not
ahead OF public opinion, but if anything, more
conservative or less assertive. We have no
doubt that If it were possible to put the ques-
ton to a vote the answer would be an over
whelming unconditional surrender" which may
yet be the final answer. The state of public
opinion in this country and in our allied coun-
tries as voiced from press, pulpit and rostrum
must necessarily be controlling factor in the
position finally taken.
How foolish, then, are the appeals that are
being made here-and there to reserve judgment
upon the kaisers peace plea. One well-known
man who has been active in various public move
ments asks everyone to keep quiet and let Pres
ident Wilson have first chance to pass on every
proposition, his argument being that no one has
as complete knowledge as has the president,
who is, therefore, in better position to judge
safely, and further that our full power cannot be
exerted unless the world knows we are unit i'll
aim and the president is the authentic voice Of
the whole people,
We take direct issue with this suggestion
and firmly believe the president himself would
spurn it. If he is to be the authentic voice OF
the whole people he must welcome the free ex-
preston of opinion on these peace moves as
the only way by which he may be kept advised
OF the public temper just reverse the pro-
posed rule and apply it to Germany where the
popular outcry must be for immediate cessation
of war and where, if no one were permitted to
pass judgment i'll advance of the kaiser he
might imagine his people united behind him for
going on to destruction, when, in fact, many,
if not large majority, are ready to surrender
Internationally and rely on Our promise OF JUS
tice as the best they can hope for.
1t fortunately transpres that there is no seri-
Gus division in this country on the question OF
peace terms dictated without the help of the
Hun, won if necessary. by fighting it out to the
finish. But even if there were dissenting voices
it would be better to have them heard than sup
pressed so that we ourselves might at all times
know exactly what our own situation is. The
unanmity of opinion, as it is, must powerfully
reinforce the president in convincing the enemy
that he has absolutely no ground to hope for
any weakening upon the part of the American
| people.
