THURSDAY. MAY 4, 1916.
In the chill gray light of an
Irish dawn four men stood stiff
and tense awaiting the calling of
a word that spelled for them the
enu of earthly existence. Before
them, dim and spectral in the twi
light of the unborn day, stood
other men; men with cold set
faces clad in the dun garb of the
soldier and clasping in their hands
sinister appearing instruments of
death. Around them the dew lay
wet and damp upon the grass
and through the morning silence
rang loud the twittering cry of
early birds. In the east, mellow
ed by the morning mist shone the
first faint crimson tokens of the
sunrise. Then, a muffled word,
a line of darting flame, a cracking
crash and—silence. Four crump
ped forms lay stretched upon the
sod in the glowing blush of morn.
Four men had died; died the
death of traitors for that they
yearned for freedom for them
selves and for their fellows. And,
with the falling of their shot torn
forms perished the hope of thou
sands who believed in them and
in the cause for which they died-.
Tragic as was the bitter end
of those men, behind it lay a
mightier tragedy—one that has
touched the heart strings of all
tbat portion of humanity who
cherish the name of liberty. The
death of Pierce and Connolly and
the others who with them fell
was a little thing- Men, thou
sands, have perished in the cause
for which they died since the far
off days when the world was
young. Down through the ages
have come the names of unnum
bered scores of men who dared
the wrath of prince and ruler for
the right to live a$ freemen. The
stoned pages of history are filled
with tales of those who valued
liberty greater than their lives
and who died the death of felons
that others might attain the free
dom which was to themselves
denied. 1 he great, the overmas
tering tragedy of Ireland is not
that some have died but that Ire
land has risen in answer to that
unending cry of human hearts
for freedom and the right to live
in their own way—has risen and
failed. After years of ceaseless
longing, of watching and waiting
for the day when Ireland should
be strong enough to rise and cast
aside |’ie alien yoke; the hour
of fate has struck and their re
ward is—ashes. It is not a
tragedy of the few but of the
many.
The shot which tore away the
lives of those who fell, sounded
, the death knell of the hopes of
thousands. The hearts which
felt *hc crashing steel are still
and cold and can suffer no more
with the knowledge of their
wrongs, hut those which yet re
ma’n to feel will know for years
the nain of blasted hopes. Dls
appointment is one of the keenest
forms of human suffering and
wfien it comes, as has
come ta the patriots of
Ireland, coupled with the grief
— ^- -'--7
of knowing that all their efforts
have been wasted, that the blood
of their faithful sons has been
shed in vain, it is doubly poig
nant. Worse than knowing that
the fires of liberty are all but
stricken cold or than years, per
haps centuries, may elapse be
fore Ireland may again rise to
seek the heights of freedom, is
the knowledge that failure lias
been the only reward of years of
effort.
As much as one may deplore
the foolishness of the attempt to
strike in the hour of her enemy’s
greatest strength, one cannot but
feel a pang of sorrow for Ire
land’s patriots and the pathetic
ending of their cherished dream.
KENNICOTT COPPER
MINERS ASK FOR •
WAGE INCREASE
The miners employed by the
Kennecott Company in the Jtim
bon and Bonanza mines at K<?n*
necott ha ve asked for an increase
in their pay, the request having
been made to Superintendent Sea
grave by a committee of two men
from each mine, according to the
Valdez Miner of March 12.
On March i the Kenecott Cop
per Corporation voluntarily gave1
the men an increase of five per i
cent in their wages, but they now1
ask for fifty cents a day more for
all classes of labor, and it is re
ported that the company has bee11
given until March io to make
their decision At present ma
! chine men are paid $3 per day and
board, and helpers $2.50 and
board.
( Superintenent Seagrave has
taken the matter under consid
eration and has communicated
with the company’s headquarters
in New York, but it is believed
4
that the increase asked by the .
men will be granted as the wage J
scale paid by the Ke nnecott com- J
pany is considerably lower than ;
that now being paid the miners jj
employed in the copper mines at \
Butte.

LOS ANGELENO BREAKS
WORLD’S FISHING RECORD
James W. Jump, of Los An
geles, the holder of the world
record for wellow fin tuna at Cat-'
alina, has broken the world’s rec
ord for an afternoon’s catch of
game fish with regulation rod
and reel off Molokini island, Ha
waii, with two yellow fin tuna,
70 and 62 pounds; two ono (a
cross between the giant macker
el and the sword fish), one
weighing 61 pounds and measur
ing 6 feeet in length and the other
5 feet, weighing 42 pounds; or>e
barracuda, 3 feet 2 inches in
length, and -a number of smaller
game fish, including the oceanic
bonito, albacore, etc.—a total af
ternoon’s catch of over three hun
dred pounds of game fish.
Mr. Jump asserts that Hawaii
is the leading game fish center
of the world. The yellow fin tuna
which are abundant in Hawiian
waters every month of the year
reach a very large size. One
specimen was recently sold by
Japanese fishermen in the Hono
lulu market which weighed two
hundred and eighty-seven
pounds. The blue fin, and the
long fin tuna are also caught on
rod and reel in these waters
What is so verv unusal elsewhere
the winter fishing in Hawaii is
ecpially as good as that in the
summer months, and should at
tract considerable attention to
