Should Governor Morehead make up
Ma mind the demand la such that he
bould accept the nomination for a third
term. Senator Kohl will not be a candi
date Kowerar. should tha governor
absolutely refuse to allow his name to
be used In connection with a third term
for govarnor. Senator Kohl will get In
the race.
He said today ha waa receiving; numer
ous letters urging him to oome out, and
so ha came to IJneoln to see whether
tha governor would make th race or
not It Is pretty well known that a third
term does not appeal to tha governor.
H has fits ay on the senatorshlp and
it Is not thought he will consider any
thing but that.
Stat mad Neutrality.
Has the state of Nebraska through
arms of tts Institutions fractured th neu
trality program of President Wilson Is a
question whloh should be looked Into.
Yesterday two representative of th
Frsrmri government cam to Lincoln and
nought about 100 head of horses to be
used la th French army. Thsy were
purchased at a sal held at tha stats
fair grounds. The company Which rents
tha buUdtngs at tha fair grounds for
sals purposes pays the fair association
a rental for th uss of tha buildings and
has don so for several years. It was
of this company that th French offloers
purchased th horses. Therefore as th
BUxt Fair association profits by the
rental of th buildings to a company
which sells hcrass to the allies. Is not
th stat of Nebraska breaking- th neu
trality laws o fth administration?
This may not bring on war between
Germany and Nebraska, but It Is liable
to mak trouble for the peace plans of
William Jennings Bryan.

Try a cup of
TONE'S
Old Golden
COFFEE
for breakfast one of these dijt. It's ten to
one that it will be Old Golden every morning
thereafter. For here's a coffee so excellent
in quality, with such an inviting aroma snd so
perfect a flavor that you won't care to try
other brands. There s something distinctly
good about Old Golden ; and the goodness is
the same next month or next year as it is now.
When you next order coffe get a pound of thia from
your grocer. It ia sold either steel-cut, with the duff
removed, or in the bean if you prefer to grind it at home.
