OTHER QUESTIONS ARISING (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 19.—(Special.) —Prospects are pretty good that the next session of the legislature will be one of the most interesting for years if rumors going about indicate anything. Changes in the present primary law and alsp in. the election law will be something which will engross the at- tention of the members. That the rimary law needs revision so that at east a majority vote of any party will be necessary to nominate the party nominees, is the prevailing opinion. It is understood, however, that one member has already pre- pared a bill, which will be introduced which will abolish the state-wide primary, keeping the county primary about as it is and prm{uimg that at the county primary which nominates candidates for county offices that delegates to state and congregsional conventions shall be selected directly by the voters.

WANT ONLY JUSTICE “Freedom for the Jews of the world, religious, political, economic freedom, as one result of the Euro- pean war is what the Jews of America are hoping and working for.” This is the statement of Colonel Harry Cutler of Providence, R. I, a member of the executive committee of the American Jewish committee, American Jewish Relief committee and. other organizations which have raised nearly $6,000,000 this year for relief of the Jews in war-stricken countries, who has been in Omaha on busineéss the last two days. “An executive committee, of which Victor Rosewater, editor of The Bee, is to he a member, was appointed last Tuesday at a meeting in New York,” said Colonel Cutler, “through which a call will be issued for a congress of American Jews to meet, probably the first of next year, to take steps essential for the emancipation of the Jews of all Europe and Palestine at the close of the war. Brother vs. Brother in Trenches. “This is more important even than the material remedial measures which our committees have provided and will zontinue to provide. Today the Jews of all the warring countries are fighting. Many thousands have given their lives and lost their property. They have foufih(, brother again'st brother and father against son, be- cause before the war families were scattered in various countries, and they have fought as bravely as the bravest. “Now, when the war is over shall they not be rewarded for their patriotism by coming into their own? Shall they not gain in those countries all the equality and justice which they have in the United States and which makes the United States a na- tion to which the Jewish race will forever have the greatest gratitude? Now Sees Peace Ahead. “The signs are’ brigher now for peace than any time since the war started and this congress will urge upon the belligerent governments the propriety of granting equal ciyil rights to the Jews in all lands where they do not now have them. “We have sent millions for the re- lief of the Jews in the warring coun- tries, Our Joint Distribution com- mission recently sent a commission abroad to study the question of re- habilitating the Jews after the war stops.

Dr. Magnes, ing of $10,000,000 for relief in 1917 and also a big free-loan plan for starting the poor Jews anew in life after the war, That Free-Loan Fund. “This fund, as stated in Saturday’s dispatches in your paper, will be probably the largest ever raised for such &/ purpose. It will be provided by Jewish philanthropists in this country to be administered on the order of ‘free-loan funds’ found in all states and communities in this coun- try. These funds loan money with- out interest to poor immigrants. Many an influential Jew today has started life in this country by bor- rowing $25 from such a fund to buy a pushcart to start in business. “It is impossible to nz just how large this loan fund will be and also impossible to say how long it will continue. But probably a generation and a half will be required to make good the devastation wrought by the war and set the Jewish people in the various countries on their feet again.” Cutler a Self-Made Man.

HE LISTENS IN SILENCE St. Joseph, Mo., Nov. 19.—Oscar D. McDaniel, prosecuting attorney of Buchanan county, was placed on trial in the criminal court here today on the charge of having murdered his wife. The testimony of the acting coroner when the crime was com- mitted and the police surgeon was presented. The coroner testified he had been asked by McDaniel to delay the in- quest and then wien he had de- termined upon it had been asked by McDaniel to declare that it had been requested by the prosecutor. The po- lice surgeon testified that the blows which killed Mrs. McDaniel were left- handed and that she had been struck, “three-quarters of an hour” before he responded to McDaniel's call for a police surgeon. Did Not Oppose It. On cross-examination it was de- veloped that the police surgeon was not certain whether the blow had been struck by a lefthanded or a - right- handed person. Cross-examination of the coroner brought forth the reply that “McDan- iels did not tell me not to hold the inquest” and did not oppose it. The police surgeon told the jury that McDaniels' first statement when police entered the room in which his dead wife lay was: ‘“See what they have done,” and that the prosecutor apparently was “grief stricken.” After he had bathed the wounded woman'’s face, the accused man fell beside the bgd, the police surgeon testified, but did not faint.

Ord Senator Seeks Inspector Job in Federal Eand Bank (From a Btatf Correspondent.) Lincoln, Nov. 19.—(Special.)—In- spector of lands for the federal land bank, igra position which it is under- stood Senatot J. A. Ollis, Ord., Neb., stockman, will seck, according to his friends who ar¢ interested in seeing him land a good position. under the federal government. The Xoslfion will pay between $3,- 000 and $4,000. Location of the Ne- braska bank, if this state gets one, will probably be in Omaha or Lin- coln, but whether or not the bank comes to the state, Senator Ollis will be an applicant for the job. The law provides that farmers in any community may form an associ- ation for the purpose of obtaining loans from the land bank upon their farms. Before any loan can be made an inspector must make an investi- gation of the land and report upon i the thatter. ’.—a‘?f R IR T A e Ve, 958y 8 N OUR great-great-grandfathers’ time many New England families had a cask of rum in the cellar. SIS s % 9S8V It was freely offered to guests (ex- cept children) and freely partaken of, even as coffee is today. This old-time custom gradually passed out of existence, for our fore- fathers recognized it was harmful. Another old-time custom— coffee drinking —1s slowly passing in the same fashion and for the same reason. The abandonment of coffee drink- ing is made easy nowadays by the use of Instant Postum, the pure cereal bever- age with the coffee-like taste. Unlike coffee, this purely American table drink contains no “cafl‘e@ne” or other harmful substance. Horde of Office Seekers Postum is now used daily in tens of thousands of the best of American homes where reason rules and health is valued.
