More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

THE WAY TO OFFICE.
 A woman has been elected to Congress in Arkansas because she served good meals.
 Oh Ladies, if so be your plan
 To shine in Halls of State, And teach more vulgar, common man
 The way to legislate, ' Nou do net need with eager speech
 To tax your slender throats, Nor leave your fireside to beseech
 The men folks for their votes; No canvass you will need to make
 For, if your skilful hand Can turn out tempting pie and cake
 You cannot fail to land Although your lovely eyes and hair
 Mayhap may win applause, Men don't elect baby stare
 Tc make the nations laws; But if in making yours apepals
 Among Ecod party men. You yamppem with few square meals
 That's something else again. Among the common run of gents.
 Who all are hungry critters. Corn beef is more than eloquence
 And logic less than fritters. And rightly so, for charms may wane Y Un fact they always dol. But cooking needs the sort of brain
 That lasts "a lifetime through. Men know the qualities that make
 A really gifted cook, And that the hand that broils steak
 Gan write q statute book. And in the happy future years
 If for great, place you sigh, You need net care who gets men S cheers
 If you can bake their pie!

BODY OF PRIEST FOUND IN 4 BOG.
 SHOT IN TEMPLE.
Three Days Ago He Was Kid naped-WhoIe Irish Parish . Is In Mourning-Remains
 Lying In State

Galway, Ireland, November 21.-The body of Father Grif- fin, the priest who disappeared several days ago, was found yesterday in a shallow grave about four miles from Galway. There was a bullet wound in the temple.
 The body was brought to Gal way this morning. Intense ex- citement prevails.
 The body of Father Griffin. who was the curate of Bushy Park, was found ia q bog by the roadside near Darna, four miles from Galway. Volunteers had been searching for the missing curate since he was Kidnapped by three unidentified persons last Sunday.
 BOYS FIND GRAVE
 A party of country lads made the discovery. They observed in the bog what appeared to have been a recent upheaval. They began probing into the mound with sticks and finally un- covered the skirts and the overcoat of the priest. Without proceeding further they sent for priest in Galway ard when they arrived, working un- der their direction by moonlight, uu- earthed the body of the missing curate. The bullet wound in the head of the priest was evidently the cause of his death.
 CsttaEers in this bleak and
 sparseIy inhabited part of the
 r~u rR fkA afAV
 arrival at midnight last Sunday
 following the kidnapins of Father
 Griffin of . lOrry load of men.
 The lerry halted near the spot
 where the body was found and the
 lights were extinguished. In about
 70 minutes the lamps were re-
 lighted and the party drove away.
 When the body of Father Griffin was brought into Galway it was placed uncoffined, on the high altar of the parish church. Huge crowds passed before the bier while three priests knelt nearby reciting the rosary. The first intimation the towns folk had of the tragedy was an an- pouncement made by the priests at the morning masses.
 PRAY FOR SLAYERS
 At St. Joseph church, where Father Griffin presided pathetic scenes of er1eL were witnessed. Ihe prleS -S omitted the usual sermon and con- fined themselves to relating incidents of the life of Father Griffin and pay ing tribute to him. They declared that the priest had earned a martyrs crown and begged the congregation to pray for the repose of his soul, but not to forget also to pray for his murderers.
 Although a number of priests lately have been i'll treated or threatened. Father Griffin Is the first to forfeit his life. In fact, no priest had been done to death In Ireland in many years.
 Father O'Meehan, Father Griffln's colleague and senior curate. with whom Father Griffin lived, said in his church today thatLhe had received five writ ten threats of death since last May and that he did not dare sleep in his own home. He added that Father Grif- fin had never received any threats.

CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

Mrs. Gardner F. Goodwin. chairman of the campaign in Bessemer for the Chil- dren hospital in Birmingham, is meeting with splendid success in the work of col lectng funds for this purpose. Mrs Goodwin has asked donation from every social organization, church, society and federated club in the city, and the touching appeal of childrens hospital is one that comes closest to our hearts. as shown by the spontaneous response which she has met in the request for donations.
 The Childrens hospital is brought be- fore the public at Christmas time by the doll bazaar" which is an annual affair planned for the benefit of the hospitai. In some cases a doll. all "dressed'' and ready to be sold is donated, and this is a nice way for an individual to donate to the cause, but the clubs for the most part have made a money contribution.

member Of the Porto Rican senate
and who has temporarily served as
governor OF that island, has been maxi
ing tour OF South America and en-
deuvoring to allay suspicious OF Latin
Americans concerning the Monroe
Doctrine.
Senator Travicso appealed to Amer
leans In South America, In an address
before the American Club here. TO use
their best efforts to prove TO citizens
OF South American countries that the
Monroe Doctrine was not the express
sion OF an imperiallstic policy on the
part OF the United States,
Mr. Trayleso said that the conduct
Of the United states toward Cuba and
Porto Rico were examples that could
be cited TO show that the United states
had no imperlalistlc aims
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1920-05-10

Speaking as a Latin American. he
declared that ii was very important TO
allay the unfounded suspicion that OF
many Americans that the mo-
tives of the United States in maintain
ing the Monroe Doctrine were not TO
protect Latln-Ameriean countries from,
European interference. gut rather to
obtain political control Of them which
would be to the benefit OF the United
States commercially. He declared
that hi scountry was not only far more
independent than any Of the states of
the union but was virtually an inde
pendent state as far as the administra-
tion of its own affairs were concern
ed.
Perhaps in the future. he said.
"the United States may constitute us
into sovereign people. but that is
problem which will have TO be re-
solved by future generations. We en-
joy today all the rights and liberties of
the freest people of the world and we
have no reason for complaint or pro-
test in our present situation"
