murder to escape the gallows
These men are concerned as to
the why one individual is moved
to slay another. The safeguard
of society does
not rest upon
the motive for
a crime but that
the criminal be
hunted down
and dealt with
on the basis of
the enormity of
the crime. I

ed industry. But a Lincoln gent
rified at sight of a mouse is
common belief. The trap may al
so have some terrors for them.
At any rate, one lady in my
neighborhood wanted a trap set
for a mouse, so she engaged the
services of a neighbor to come to
her home and set the trap. When
the trap was properly set ready
for the victim the lady asked
what she owed the man. “Twen
ty-five cents,” was his unblush
ing demand, and the two bits
that in the same neighborhood
was handed over. Now it chances
is a young mother with a new

her neighbor friends bakes she
comes in with a pie or a loaf of
bread and on wash day gets soil

the machine with her own wash

odious. But there it is—the one
a symbol of neighborly thought
fulness and helpful ministry; the
other a symbol of a class that
forever wants to know. “How

Two women stood on the cor
ner talking as I came up to get
on a bus. One a matron, the oth
er a young woman, crippled and
leaning on crutches. She said
something about her mother
from which I gathered that the
mother was an invalid, and just
before she hobbled away on
crutches she said to the other
woman. “I must get out and
make my living.” And then she
was on her way to see about a
job. That young woman has
courage, the courage born of na
tive fortitude that will see her
through. With broken body, de
nied the opportunity of other
sound and whole voung women
for a husband, a home and chil
dren, she is a symbol of those
everywhere who face life on un
even terms and cheerfully go in
to it asking no odds of anyone—
the heroes throughout the land
on crutches.
. The Nebraska Library commis
sion has auuea a department lor
the blind, wuw in addition to tne
ood.uoo oootta on tne commis
sion’s library shelves an apart
ment in tne basement ol the cap
ital buiiuing has been taken ov
er for reading material for the
blind in Braille and “talking”
material in the form of records.
Th*s material is supplied by the
; Library of Congress at no cost
to the state, and covers a variety
of subjects with some works of
fiction. The Library of Congress
also furnishes free to the blind
the instrument to play these rec
ords. Miss iMixon, the executive
secretary of the commission, in
showing me this large selection
for the blind, both in Braille and
the recortis, said the blind living
in the state are availing them
selves of this service. As addi
tional records are sent from
Washington from time to time
those who receive this material
from the commission are allowed
to keep it indefinitely and the
instrument or recording is theirs
as long as they care to keep it.
Material for the blind goes
through the mails free. Miss Nix
on explained, but additional help
is required in the commission’s
headquarters in the state house
to supervise the blind depart
ment.

Of all the fine things done un

doesn’t mind waiting for the meal
as it isn’t fit to eat when she gets
it. . . Young America in the

Henry Hawk, for some years
held in the state prison on con
viction of being responsible for a
death, and who repeatedly
sought release through habeas
corpus in the courts and finally
to the federal district court, was
succesful in the federal district
court at Omaha. Judge J. A. Don
ohoe heard the plea of habeas
corpus and ruled in favor of
Hawk. Judge Donohoe was crit
ical of the proceedings before the
trial court and takes his stand
with a famous lawyer and at one
time a member of the president’s
cabinet that it is the duty of the
state’s attorney to clear the in
nocent as much as it is a duty to
convict the guilty. Whether
Hawk now will be drawn
through the sweat of another
eourt appeal remains to be seen.
If so, let it be done in the inter
ests of justice rather than to vin
dicate the prosecution.

Grey, wrinkled, skin sagging
under the chin, a quartet of the
nations’ officials are pictured
ready to make their plea to con
gress for no reduction in appro
priations for foreign aid. alleging
that “a substantial cut would
gravely impair our own secur
ity.” Just how this is has not
been explained. Our national
safety, our security, our future
depending on government hand
outs to decrepit, broken down
nations of the old world? Come
now, honored sirs, are we so
helpless that we must resort to
bribery to save our skins!

Peterson Is opposed to Universal Military Training
Compare Peterson's Record
Peterson doesn’t talk about economy while sponsoring ’
special interest spending. He economizes! No other state
takes a smaller percentage of its citizens’ income for state
government.
Peterson is not content to let others carry the load of
exposing fraud and corruption. He militantly backed the 1
< drive which put organized gambling out of business in
Nebraska.
Peterson has been a powerful figure in promoting more
irrigation water, a halt to floods, more and cheaper power
and many other benefits for Nebraska and Nebraska agri
culture. He has taken the lead in seeking to protect local
control of our resources.
