Governor Cox and Franklin D. Roose
velt, was called at the initiative of the
President. We rather suspect, that
| the candidates on the Democratic
ticket would have preferred not to
have held so public a meeting and not
! to have so materially assisted in mak
* ing the League of Nations the domi
nant issue of the campaign. We sus
j pect that the great majority of the
- Democratic leaders who were assem
bled in the San Francisco convention
would have preferred that no such
emphasis be put upon the League of
Nations as an issup, or upon the Presi
dent as an issue in the campaign. The
Democrats had heartily endorsed the
President and his Administration, as
they had to i'o and as they should have
done. They had, however, been un
willing to accept the plank he sent to
the convention on the League of Na
tions; a committee had to redraft it
before the convention, which did not
want to go as far as the President
did, would accept it.
Then the convention rejected, one
by one, all candidates who were before
it as distinctly Wilson men. The as
sembled Democrats after trimming
the League of Nations plank, chose as
their nominee the candidate before the
convention, who was farthest away
from the Wilson Administration.
Then when the Democratic cam
paign is going swimingly there came
to Governor Cox, as the Democratic
candidate, an invitation from the
White House, an -invitation which he
could neither ignore or refuse. As the
party leader, making the fight for a
Democratic victory, he needs the Presi
dent’s support and the active aid of
the President’s friends. The ticket
could not win unless the President and
his following supported it loyally and
energetically. He might not and prob
ably did not care to have the power of
the President and the Administration’s
policies emphasized at this time as
constituting a political issue. But he
met the situation boldly, made the trip,
held the inevitable conference, and
stood fairly forth to say that he and
the President were agreed on “the
meaning and sufficiency of the Demo
cratic platform, in the face of the
threatened bad faith to the World in
the name of America.” And conclud
ing Governor Cox, loyal Democrat
that he is, says, “What he promised, I
shall, if elected, endeavor with all my
strength, to give.”
But was all this necessary? No
body but the Republicans have been
pleased.
BURLINGTON IMPROVES
SERVICE FROM O’NEILL
Sioux City Tribune: Effective Tues
day, August 3, a special weekly live
stock train to Sioux City will be
operated on the O’Neill branch of the
Burlington line, according to P. J.
Donohoe, general agent at Sioux City.
The train which leaves O’Neill Tues
day afternoons at 2 o’clock will arrive
in Sioux City for the early Wednesday
market.
Stock trains now in operation run
through the territory between O’Neill
and Osmond so early in the day that
shipping service will be much improved
by the netw train, said Mr. Donohoe.
CAN WITH LESS SUGAR.
The high price of sugar should not
mean less canned fruit, jellies, butters,
preserves, etc., says the Nebraska Col
lege of Agriculture. Many fruits may
be canned in their own juices, and jel
lies and butters may be made with
three-fourths or even one-half the
usual amount of sugar used. The lack
of sugar in jellies will make some of
them more palatable. Many fruits
have a better flavor, when sweetened
just before using, than when canned
with large quantities of sugar or in
heavy sirup. The College has repro
duced a circular called “Saving Sugar
in Canning and Preserving,” from the
Office of Home Economics, United
States Department of Agriculture, and
is distributing it free of charge to
those interested in preserving without
using so much sugar. It gives differ
ent methods of canning fruits in their
own juices, making jellies with less
sugar, making preserves, conserves
and fruit butters in time of sugar
scarcity and discusses the canning of
fruits by substituting other sweeten
ers for a part of the granulated sugar.
Women interested in canning, making
jellies, preserves, etc., with less sugar
should ask for a copy of Food Pre
servation Circular No. 7.
