In the Judge's Hands. No “ A pres Vous." Radio in Politics. Ford on Peace. By ARTHUR BRISBANE --> The parents of Leopold and Loeb show wisdom in having the young men plead guilty to murder. This does away with all harmful talk of “millions being usad to save them from the gallows.” It puts the young men’s fate in the hands of the judge. Of his own volition, although the guilty men have waived all rights, the court will decide as to their responsibility, and sentence them accordingly—to death, or life im prisonment. Predicting anything about this • election is dangerous. But if the old parties make a milk and water campaign, a sort of" “after you Alphonse” fight, La Follette may surprise them. The radio will play an important part in the campaign, a blessing for La Follette, who will be obliged to make short speeches, thus saving strength. La Follette is the best speaker of the three presidential candidates beyond comparison. The people do not elect a presi dent to make fine speeches, but they do give preference to the good speaker when they “tune in.” Henry Ford says peace is a great thing, and adds that millions of air ’s will soon be flying over ? If Ford, who could do it better and more rapidly than anybody else, will help to make the “millions of airplanes” a reality, he will do inuch for peace. With enough air planes and submarines this coun try need not worry. Ford’s prediction about airplanes shows how rapidly things change and compel us ■to change our opin ions. A short time ago at Dear born Ford was saying to this writer that the time for commercial de velopment of the airplane had not arrived. Now he sees the possibility of die all-metal monoplane.

Muscle Shoals could provide enough nitrates to blow any nation into the air and Ford should have beeen allowed to develop the Mus cle Shoals power for fertilizer fac tories in peace, and nitrate factor ies in war. But to manufacture flying ma chines on a “Ford” scale of produc tion would mean more for peace than all the explosive nitrates on earth. Alexander E. Miller, playwright, called in his colleagues, Shamus O’Brien, and said, “The world is valueless to me, and I am of no value to it and then killed him self.” There never pomes a time when a human being is of no use to the world. The Greek philosopher, 90 years old, that killed himself because he stumbled on leaving his class, made a mistake. He should have said: “I may stumble, but I shall go on teaching.” Every one can be valuable to the world by setting an example of courage and endurance. The other "day a youhg woman lay in a hospital with both her legs amputated. That was the price she paid for giving birth to a child. She might have said, “The world has nothing more for me.” What she did say was. “I am delighted ti lose both my legs, if I must, as long as I have my baby." That’s worth a good deal to the world. Scientists have discovered in tea a new vitamine called “bios,” the Greek for “life.” There is no doubt that tea pos sesses great powers. Men work ing in the woods at 40 degrees be low zero drink cold tea and say they get from it heat, another name for life. Mongolians drinking great quan tifies of tea, sometimes with yak butter and yak ham floating around on top of it, have remarkable en durance and live long. Greater knowledge of the vita mines and of our assortment of “ductless” glands, will add 50 years to the average life before this century ends. What about “birth control” then? (Copyright, 1924.) Disabled Veterans Plan Annual Fund Raising Campaign November 8 Set Aside by Na tional Heads as Day for Forget-Me-Not Sale. Wounded and disabled veterans of the great war, In Nebraska, have re ceived official notification from the national headquarters of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War, Cincinnati, O., that the annual “National Forget-Me-Not day" cam paign of the organization will be con ducted throughout the United States on Saturday, November 8. Several hundred cities and towns in the coun try will participate in the distribu tion of forget-me-not flowers by wo men workers tnd the disabled veter ans themselves. National Commander Frank J. Ir win of New York City said that Presi dent Coolidge will probably follow his example of last fall and endorse the drive, also taking an active part in the success of the local campaign in Washington, D. C. , “The late Presidents Woodrow Wil son and Warren G. Harding were among the warmest supporters of the annual national movement,” Com mander Irwin said, “and high govern ment officials, military leaders and other executives of government and state have been among the sponsors of individual campaigns in their re spective cities." Citizens' committees to be named by mayors and civic officials In Ne braska will supervise the various campaigns, assisted by the women and and girl workers who will make the apfual sales of the forget-me-nots, the commander said. Proceeds from the day's activities will go towards the relief, welfare, rehabilitation, hos pitalization and legislative assistance for the wounded and disabled world war veterans of the country.

Omaha's fight to bring the Ameri can 'round-the-world fliers through here on their way to the west coast and a completion of their history making flight around the world, Is being prosecuted with more vigor each day. Gen. George B. Duncan, commander of the seventh corps army area, an nounced Tuesday that he will write to his former classmate, Gen. Mason M. Patrick of the army air service, asking that tha ahips be routed through Chicago and Omaha over the regular transcontinental air mall route. General Duncan made this promise to Randal! K.

"Other cities also are eager to have the fliers visit them.” Word reaching here Tuesday morn ing from Chicago indicates that Chi cago Is taking as active a part as Omaha in the effort to bring the fliers west over the fegular air mail channel. Dispatches state that William R.

Mason M. Patrick, chief of air service, to send the American 'round-the-world fliers over the air mail route through Omaha." TWO" FIRE ALARMS IN FEW MINUTES Two fire alarms within a few min utes Tuesday afternoon brought out an unusual display of fire apparatus.
